U2 at Glastonbury 2011 - Even Better Than The Real Thing, The Fly

[fortheloveoftunes]

3:52 "The Fly" .-)

[MrBlades1971]

Fuckin class song for the opening...

[fc7alibi]

Best version of Even Better Than The Real Thing. Youtube does not do it justice. 

[mazza6595]

''who's the mysterious blond girl on the screen''

[markeljc]

the opening from Edge is real the greatest ;)

[manicjellybean]

the older bono gets the better his voice gets. the older the edge gets the cooler he gets. the older adam gets the more bored he looks, the older larry gets the more he seems to not leave irland. the older U2 get the better they get! RELEASE AN ALBUM THIS YEAR!!!!! PLEASE!!!!

[Robcatist]

Ive loved U2 for 27 years, this song is 20 years old and this is the best live version ive ever heard! their still in love with the music cause they can take an old song , dust it off and bang out a blistering live version of it. Bono gets a shit load of flak, sometimes i can understand why but you cant take it away from them that their still one of the biggest rock groups on the planet!

[abelesa84]

@stealthrimmer And the girls LOVE it ;) no one likes a flat bum now do they ? Lol ;)

[abelesa84]

@Midnighttinting808 When I first heard this song I felt the same way, but then it creeps up on u and without u even realizing it u now freakin love it !!! Lol <3 U2

[AnderZach23]

Pikachu flag at 1:31!

[stealthrimmer]

The Fly: It's no secret that Bono is a dick

[mcollett182]

Larry did fluff the intro. But this was the best show I ever witnessed

[90alexcatalan]

the greatest band ever deserve better then this putred english crowd

[Jackonsinit]

@90alexcatalan the most overrated band ever*

[jppjc]

@Jackonsinit  its hard to be overrated when theyre not talked about a lot in todays pop culture...and still manage to have the biggest tour in music history..

[Jackonsinit]

@jppjc just because they aren't kicking still doesn't mean they weren't at some point very overrated. That's like saying the beatles aren't great anymore cause two of the cunts are dead. WTF is your fucking problem you troller

[moff83]

@90alexcatalan mate I was there and I'm Australian! idiot

[melhiker]

Huge U2 fan and this is why.

[Midnighttinting808]

I never liked this song. But now I love it

[larlar327]

at 0:41 they started messing up a little and that was until 0:57 but I still love this band and I still love this song!! :)

[Thanksandy]

great song, one of my fave and a fantastic reworking of it..brilliant choice to open the set

[theboyd5000]

Superb intro, i m not selling my rickenbacker after seeing that!!!! sounds epic.

[santiago2u]

::: Larry kick in it early, The Edge And Adam noticed this, so Adam stop playing at 0:46 Then, Larry stops hitting the snare to match the rest keeping the beat just with the foot-pedal at 0:51 . Despite this, the openning makes you shiver down your spine -- Listen to this with a good pair of headphones

[thequeenofall666]

[Chloedemonge]

[90alexcatalan]

its like this u2 are the greatest band ever an english crowd are always shite

and an amazing performance by the band but the worst show on the 2 year 360 tour was this .

[homertime97]

I was there!!!! Unbelievable. Best band in the world!!!!!

[stealthrimmer]

Bono's got a fat bum

[spooked1oo]

C'mon, they could at least included recent live recordings of these songs in the Achtung Baby reissue...

[MrBlades1971]

That was a great blast of an introduction....

Fuckin Class..

[Romchikthelemon]

Seems like ZOO TV coming back

[pmcmahon358]

9cornflakes3 r u sure you wasn't so pissed on them 2 shandys you had you wasn't watching coldplay by mistake

[pmcmahon358]

Kicked ass. End of.

[creamofgold]

Not a big fan of U2 - but that opening from Edge is scorching.

[botvinik10]

@creamofgold Thats U2 for you, you´re such a tool....;-)

[howzee70]

yep best band ever .. wot the hell have simple minds got to do with this i dont know

[Thanksandy]

@howzee70 because many years ago they were seen as one of the bands up there with U2, but that was back in the early to mid 80s, then U2 went huge and Simple Minds never really moved on..they have some great tunes, but what have they done in the past 20 years, nothing much of note..

[u2rocksforever]

Take me higher! U2 best band ever...!

[7franny7]

you cant see it on tv but the burning butterflie was SOOOO cool, they were best of glasto 2011

[EnigmaComposer]

@7franny7

If you google "Vanessa Wood Glastonbury" the 4th link should take you to a website called Speade where you can watch the entire Damien Hirst video, complete with a new recorded version (or remix) of EBTTRT =)

[jimmyjohnst1]

Monumental!!!



[DJ0Creations0]

front row for this shiz, was absolutly perfect!!!!!, the rain just made it glastonbury!!!

[9cornflake3]

i was at the pyramid for this and it was awful people were leaving the gig all throughout i got about 8 songs in and could not take anymore at all

[jppjc]

@9cornflake3 really? cuz the crowd sounds pretty into it cocksucker

[9cornflake3]

@jppjc well i was there and it was just my opinion of what the crowd thought around me

[90alexcatalan]

@9cornflake3 i was there u2 were fuckin classs in tune and all , the crowd sucked cause there were english muppets like u there ,howecer i only saw more people arrive not people leave , id like to see the coldplay fags produce anything close to that! real rock and roll from the greatest band of all ever

[sweetassugar69]

@90alexcatalan bollocks that title belongs to simple minds and the gr8 charlie burchill !!!

[u2feeder]

@90alexcatalan as a massive english u2 fan, i agree most of the crowd were shit, the front lot who you see jumping and havin a laugh ah good, but the rest you can tell got tickets for coldplay or the awful headliner beyonce. i do like coldplay but U2 deserve a better crowd, but still U2 played their hearts out :)

[jimb92]

@u2feeder Tbf it was freezing and wet, I was loving it but I can see why the crowd struggled

[hoorpi]

great vid thanx

[moonfruit100]

I wish the drum intro was on album version

[maddogwally]

There U2 goes again. Re-invent a great song and make it greater!!

This band is genius, brilliant... Coldpay who? LOL!!

[maddogwally]

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting these videos.. I have been in love with U2 for 20 years!

I love these guys.... So thank you!
