U2 Grammy's '87

[derekmok]

I think that's a very droll Ali Hewson in the foreground there. Part of her charm seems to be that she never seems overly impressed by anything Bono does. Keeps him grounded.

[TheBeautifulStream]

Oh Edge. The last thanks sound like something Bono would say.

[MysteryGirl1]

My favorite singer (Roy Orbison) and my favorite group (U2) all togeher! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! BTW this was aired early 1988.

[MysteryGirl1]

My favorite singer (Roy Orbison) and my favorite group (U2) all togeher! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[U2SSana]

EDGE=EPIC

[andreestes]

That had to be 1988 not 1987.

[barn524]

oh my god. Bono didn't say anything. That was the last time that ever happened. Hehe

[LandsEbb]

James T Kirk? I am now happy.

[kms2814]

[glennopd]

See at 0.09 when Bono leans in to kiss Ali and misses her as she gets up to let him out to collect the Grammy! LOL!

[AndrewPfaff1234]

[jtcconnolly]

[extreme67]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[DavidCorway]

Did The Edge actually thank Maurice Pratt here?

[recobalegend20]

i dont understand. was there 2 grammy shows? i see one where bono takes the mic and says the speech, and then there is this one. the video im talking about is on the side bar.

[monsterinyourpocket]

this award is for best rock duo or group and the other is for album of the year.

[FrostySeaFlakes]

@recobalegend20 this is the best rock album award, the one where bono speaks is album of the year

[loghen01]

There was no Best Rock Album until 1995.

[blulicious2]

Edge's ex-wife is really cute.

[libbyu2]

Poor Bono! What's that snub from Ali all about???!

[blulicious2]

She was sitting beside him and had to move so he and Edge could get to the stage.

[wilsonmonteiro1]

rapaz eu tinha apenas 14 anos quando vi esse dia histórico, está vendo esse vídeo hoje é viajar no tempo, VALEU U2, vocês são demais.!!!!!

[Zenon2006]

That is most certainly Ali and that is Edge's ex-wife Aislinn

[zakilaouira]

[boyplu]

Great moment for any young band!!!

[whiteassourcream16]

if you look at the beginning when they stand up to go up there, bono tries to kiss his wife but she doesn't notice!

[DonQuixote85]

But I don't think that is Ali...

[marianahewson1995]

That's defnitely Ali

[agizzleg]

Yes that would be Alison Steward Hewson.

[jjtreanor2006]

[bonofidefan]

Larry is absolutely adorable in this! I remember watching this. Bono and Edge looked like vagabonds but it looked cool back then!

It was a "Look"

Edge thanked Flannery O'Connor? do they make them read that stuff in Ireland too?

[starfish146]

You're right, it was cool back then, although now this look only makes me think Boy George.

[regularU2fan]

To Larry: That's for your desire playng in band. That's for the work you done. These are your dreams that came true. This is for the tears cryed for your mom... At the end... you deserve it. Enjoy!

[doubleagent]

[dsignrdane]

LOL, could you imagine coming out the bathroom and seeing the rest of your band mates on stage. that's classic.

[ajeitarampa]

[doubleagent]

ronald reagan. the us president at the time.

[gaiuz]

haha, the band hated him ;)

[ajeitarampa]

can someone transcript the radom people that edge is thanking in the end? i dont speak english, so I cant understand it fully thaaanks

[obassi]

GiseleBr - you will observe that in most award speeches, it is Edge who does most of the speaking

[Grglxks]

Yeah, Thats true, mostly because Bono will spout humanitarian bulls##t whenever he gets a chance, even back then. Not that it's a bad thing.

[ChofiSpain]

I'm Spanish, and, for me, it's hard to understand what The Edge said. Could anyone email me and transcript it to me, please?

Thanks :)

[GiseleBr]

Why Bono is left to speak if Edge is great comunicator too? :)

[CarmelU2fan]

I know!! Oh Adam, if ya gotta go - GO!!! Notice they audience clapped when he returned.

I like how Edge started thinking random people at the end like Pee Wee Hurman and Walt Disney, LOL

[mybeano]

Hey great speech by Edge! Adam in the loo..ha ha lol!
