  • kool

  • they sing better than elvis !!

  • A tribute to Elvis..absolute one of the best..!

    Not trying to imitate, just Bono style... RESPECT!!

  • the best

  • the edge rules!!!

  • EPIC!!!

  • i LOVE this song and bono has an amazing voice

  • If I'm honest I think the high pitched bit gave a nice spin to an already great song ... I love U2 anyway but wow do I like that cover.

  • Can't stop listening to this, what an incredible job. The falsetto was fantastic, the ending was fantastic, EVERYTHING about this was fantastic.

  • @manishrana51

    That's the makeup of one of the Zoo TV characters: Mr. MacPhisto

  • U2 THE BEST !!!!

  • nice one bone-o

  • At the end of a two hour set his vocals are still perfect.

  • même en live il déchire!!!

  • I don't know what the fuck you people are talking about. That falsetto was awesome!

  • Oh, wow... smooth sailing until he fkin ruined it by going up in that high falsetto.

  • @jaries12 Haha. I agree the high falsetto doesn't make the song any better, but he definitely didn't ruin it. I still like this version more than others (except Elvis, obviously).

  • U2, springsteen, UB40, Bocelli..they are all fine...but come on, noone compares to the KING!!

  • @steveili THE KING IS DEAD, YOU MORON!!!!! BONO AIN'T!!!!! GET A LIFE AND SKIP INTO THE MIDDLE AGES WITH THE REST OF US!!! LOL!!!!!!!!

  • @steveili Spot on man

  • who say they are a legend ....

  • @1718Vero OBVIOUSLY. NOT MORONS LIKE YOU!!!!

  • One of the best covers of the song. Good job, Bono ! This is real music. Pure magic. Pure music. Pure song. U2 4 Ever.

  • Infinite likes! 29.04 - 28.01 /for me always... ='(

  • been there seen them... "De Kuip" Rotterdam Twice, and Arnhem if I remember well... Unforgettable memories from the great times before Bono thought he's God himself...

  • I think Elvis was there, and he was crying, too.

  • this is a great cover by a great band!

  • I L O V E It

  • Luv this U2 version of the clasic Elvis song ... Elvis is my number one artist of all time and being from ireland U2 are my number 1 band ... heard this song at the 1993 concert in Dublin great version and total respect shown by Bono and the Boys ... nice upload thnks

  • BONO.. MADE FROM STARS.. THANKS GOD

  • ...amazing, isn't it? This was my wedding dance song....in the middle of the night, under the stars, with a couple of good friends by my side....perfection!

  • this is very magical n cool , all the people singing together with U2 , i would be singing  to . awesome cover n different to . very unique

  • Well, well, well Mr. Bullwinkles I hope you've gotten ur rocks off now. And I

    suspect you'd love more questions ... right? For that would show how very

    intelligent U R. errrr I mean give U yet another oppurtunity to show everyone

    just how smart U R. Well, don't hold ur breath! We all put our pants on one

    leg at a time, and remember too the fence doesn't fall far from the house!!

    Blessed Be!!

  • Miss you Blondy, right now and always.For the rest of my life...beautiful sadness, it will kill me, eventually

  • יניב שלי! השיר הזה מוקדש לך

    אוהב אותך

  • ITS A CURIOUS THING AS TO WHY U2 WOULD WASTE THE EFFORT TO COVER THIS TUNE? WAS IT LIKE THAT THEY LIKED THE TUNE? THERE'S TONS OF GOOD TUNES WAS IT A FILLER WHILE DRUMMER REPLACED A BASS DRUM HEAD? BECAUSE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE IT? THEY LOVE ANYTHING U2 DID...A TRIBUTE TO ELVIS? I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY PICKED THIS PARTICULAR SONG...THIS IS LIKE GOING TO SEE DYLAN, AND DYLAN SINGS UNDER THE BOARDWALK....WHY???

  • @MrBruceBarham U2 has already done a rare release of this song in the movie Leaving Las Vegas. This is the same performance, but I like that version better. Bono's vocal range in that version is mind-boggling.

  • @SuspendedSky55 wel yes i understand that, guess it was just business..this isnt an easy song to do especially given the sound circumstances of such a loud large arena .and well, honestly the guitar isnt correct on it and made him have to work a bit to sing it..I guess, with everyone from sting to springstein and u2 covering this song i was wondering why? UB40 does it, i mean, why not do Mustang Sally too?fans always like what their groups do, some swear Springstein sings it best etc.rare?

  • @MrBruceBarham I'm sorry, That was Honeymoon in Vegas, not Leaving Las Vegas. Personally I'm an Elvis fan so I love any rendition of his music. U2 in this case (=the studio version, not this live one with audience chipping in) has surpassed Elvis, and it's the only instance where I can say that. Springsteen and UB40 don't even come close.

    And you're welcome.

  • @SuspendedSky55 oops the fence isn't far from the house.

  • @Nfirstmom: I'm sorry?

  • among all the covers of "can't help falling in love with you", this is the best one!fantastic voice!

  • Looks like a character out of batman here...but what is left to say about Bono's singing.

  • marry me, Bono

  • bono the best....anatrixiazeis...greece­ loves you...

  • bono you legend :). All respect Sir, this is truely sedating

  • matt cardel in xfactor

  • Listen to his voice in that second verse for God sake! It's so amazing!

  • Such strong lyrics, and what a voice!

  • My favorite version :)

  • maravillosa voz U2 bono!!! gran dmirador de Elvis Presley!!!

  • elvis is proud bono...very proud

  • im so jealous of his falsetto.... i wish i could sing that high. im a girl, and i cant sing that high!!

  • Elvis should be proud.

  • Kocham Cię Asieńko!

  • ...but I can't help falling in love with you

  • this doesnt relax me, its gives me chills

  • How beautiful...it make me relax and calm down. :)

  • Bonehead, please do not destroy any more of Elvis's songs. This version of this beautiful song struggles to make 0/10. Bonehead is so stuck up his own arse it is pityful. Stick to singing your mediocre pop and leave songs like this to people with a voice to do the song justice.

  • @colinwt His name is Bono... LOL.

  • U2, but especially Bono and Mullen are HUGE Elvis fans. Larry Mullen was close to crying when visiting Graceland. No wonder. Elvis used this song to close his shows in the 70s, and had people close to delirium when finishing his shows. The King.

  • 1:09-1:30 BEST!!! <3

  • pobre elvis

  • Nobody sings it like Elvis, but one of the best tribute covers to the King ever.

  • Just listen to these vocals. 1:09. Most amazing thing i have ever heard. This song, this band, these concert and that Bono is that thing in our lives we will never forget.

  • he could do that much better!

  • ... no words

  • anbody have the memphis recording of this song?

  • love this song...makes me rememember the old days !

  • U2 KICKS ASS! YEAH! i speak as a member of the younger generation, and lemme tell you, in my family, U2 is a BIG thing. ;) we saw them live in Washington D.C. at the Inauguration Concert! :O :DDDD I LOVE THEM LOL

  • @ruaridhhanna true....and can't reach some higher notes..

  • @ruaridhhanna yeah..i agree ;)

  • @ruaridhhanna He looks ridiculous, but that is some hip falsetto.

  • Comment removed

  • Hm.....U2 was better back then.....

    but yeah.... cool version

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks How dare you call U2 "gay" and "overrated". This performance is amazing. U2 is an amazing band.

  • @bonorox10

    Well that's oppinion.

  • @BarBeDwiRE21 *opinion.

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks I agree w/cha about them being overrated

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks how the fuck is U2 the most overrated band?? you want an overrated band? try the beatles. they're fucking overrated. U2 doesn't make music, they make magic.

  • @Netlocd Yeah but the beatles were among the first popular bands and on their music many bands have been influenced...its like saying Elvis is overrated...it has nothing to do with do you like the Beatles or not...you just need to give them respect for that....and what is original in U2?

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks lol but saying u2 are overrated is like saying beatles or elvis are overrated your problem is that you seem to think that because you think u2 are overrated everyone should think so... bottom line is u2 are where they are because they deserve it just like the beatles and elvis whether you like it or not is an irrelevence

  • @imedi Yes but I seriously doubt that any musician can be inspired by U2....

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks thats just pure rubbish too many of the modern bands have claimed that u2 were huge influence on them only heard muse say it last week at glastonbury last week others coldplay keane kings of leon have all said the same i mean you cant actually think that the beatles were any better musicians can you.. u2 have been and are some of the greatest song writers of all time and have the sales and awards to prove it

  • @imedi

    well, the beatles sold more, won more awards (even an oscar), have written many many more world known songs that endure till this day, are regarded as the grewatest songwriters of the 20th century, and for sure were better musicians.

    and bono would punch you in the face when you put down the beatles, just like ozzy would, or alice cooper, or Gene Simmons, or Brian Wilson, or krist novoscelik, dave grohl, and people like hendrix and cobain would throw lightning at you from heaven

    xDDD

  • @OropherThranduil lol i think you looked at my post but did not look at what i was replying to... the person i was replied to said u2 were not great musicans my reference to the beatles was that they were not great musicans either but still wrote some of the greatest songs of all time ha ha i am a beatles fan but i do prefer u2 not sure what awards have do with anything but u2 have won more grammys and u2s music will also endure also.. i think you saw my post put 2 and 2 together and got 5 lol

  • @imedi

    you mentioned awards, so did i.

    and if you think the beatles are not great musicians you should ask drummers and bass palyers, paul is the master of the melodic bassline who could play in any style he wanted, for example on i want you he sounds like paul jones.

    and ringos drumming is unique, never before or after him did a drummer create so unique parts for so many songs, you only hear drumming, you can know the song.

    and george is sooo underrated.

  • @OropherThranduil i would only disagree on one thing that is that beatles were better musicians.. great song writers yes great musicians not so sure for me edge has a sound that is out of this world.. bottom line is that music is about taste there is no such thing as the best there are after all many people who hate u2 and the beatles i never put down any musician but reply to people who do...cheers

  • @WhoReadsMyNameStinks Ever heard of a band called Coldplay?

  • @roqueandrolle lol the edge is a better singer than the guy in coldplay

  • @imedi Coldplay should be burnt.

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE U2 OXOXOX

  • Great song with a great band, bono is magnificent!

  • Heavenly voice!

  • This video is taken from "A tribute to Elvis" concert for Elvis. Dont remember wich year thou.

  • @tavic22 No, this is a show from U2's own tour (ZooTV). This one's from Sydney, 1993.

  • 1:05 to 1:31....

    Almost jizzed myself :O

  • @themightystripes i now realise that was a tad inappropriate

  • Exceptional version!

  • i'd go gay for bono.

  • Would it be a sin?

  • my Good Looove Hurts..U2 Huurt....

  • i love him :*

  • Bono's voice is amazing <3

  • 1:14 <3

  • sounds more like headvoice?

  • Nup, it is indeed falsetto. Bono had about a whole octave in falsetto (listen to Lemon, Numb, The Unforgettable Fire, Stay and others).

    =D

  • Like a river flows surely to the sea

    Darling so it goes

    Some things are meant to be

  • Bono rocks on this song. I was at this concert, so I am a first hand witness. I love that he is wearing the Elvis jacket from '59. Elvis' version, of course, is my favorite by a universe.

  • Very well sung by Bono.

  • Bono's voice, is the best in the world !

  • Elvis's Voice was The Best In The

  • Hi-STANDART have best cover...

  • Just plain Brilliant singing from Bono. That falsetto is incredible. Magnificent music moment!

  • Completely agree with you I know the first time I heard this version my heart just dropped when his voice reached that beautiful point : )

  • I like this cover but I love the original song ; ]
