[breton1]

@UltraMusicProduction

[jenniferlynneduffy]

Thank you for posting these videos. I taped this documentary in the 80s off of MTV I think and lost it many years ago. Love it!!

[MrKmanhooks1]

Evel Kinevel couldn't jump Bono's ego....

[UdderPunch6]

Probably one of the best albums created of all time.

[NoblyRotten]

Is that Larry at 5:04? 'sounds like A Flock Of Seagulls' HAHA - CLASSIC!

[HelterSkelterSOR]

hahaha 2:32 what is edge doing?

[HelterSkelterSOR]

edge looks like joe strummer

[uliqed]

5:35 - the dog :)

[mastodon2806]

[kywomanlml]

Getting to see the creative process unfold is wonderful... Thanks for posting.

[gibsongirlxx]

My fav album-my fav song!!! Wish I could turn back the time 'cos I don't like their music anymore :(

[GayFoxxx]

great band - was wir alle wollen ne weltverbesserung - keine ablenkung - rettet die welt ! save the world 1

[BigSeanP]

I never realised in all these years how camp Bono was..

[larryoloai]

2,3,4 Mustang Sally......

[tonytai2017]

Incredible album from that era. Deserves more credit and airplay than it ever received.....

[mircea1910]

I have to say, Brian Eno would make a very cool Quincy Jones XD

[slyvester117]

@mircea1910 He is the quincy jones of Ireland

[BlazeStoryMS]

3:58

Bono:Ummm, them cup cakes look nice... I might just eat one now while the edge is looking away hehehe...

The edge: Is there a fly on my shoulder?

[LadyxDracona]

2:30 - Lul, wtf is Edge doing in the background?

Actually, I lul'd during a lot of this. So happy to see this documentary posted. It's a realistic portrayal of one of the biggest bands of the century, all of them cutting up but still working for create the best music for the sake of music.

[octoberguitaru2]

edge is practicing the art of daboki. But wheres his blackberry?

[LadyxDracona]

I don't think he would have made that adaptation yet. Did they have Blackberrys during the '80s? But it's good to know that he was starting yoga so young. No wonder he's been so trim all his life. ^_^

[octoberguitaru2]

ha, awesome, i didnt think anyone would get that. let alone the adaption part. (i did notice it was before daboki evolved)

[StephanieBonJovi]

3:15 is the best! :D

[number1BonJovi]

@StephanieBonJovi hey, another Bon Jovi and U2 fan? awesome ;D

[gankball]

MAKE BONO HISTORY

[gankball]

BONE O

[kleynan]

Back when U2 were the best band in the world...

[jtcconnolly]

what are you talking about...............

[laboloche]

Still the best band..

[ishaan719]

this is so cool to see how they were in process of making unforgettable fire

[KOSMICKEN09]

the edge, back when that hat wasn't on all the time....makes me think of being in 9th grade. i thought 'pride' was the greatest song ever....though bono's talking about not writing down lyrics seems odd now...

[cubbiie]

It's funny you mention that, I've always thought that in their younger days, Bono and Robin Williams had a strong resemblance to each other.

[deeoosee]

Bono is half Patrick Swayze half Robin Williams.

[giovannibrunoro]

@deeoosee ahahah you're right

[nazbuk]

@deeoosee not quite understand the context of the comment but in 85 the world did not know either, as Dirty Dancing and Good Morning Vietnam cames out in 87 until then nobody knew them

[Centaur1975]

@nazbuk

Swayze was in a few movies before Dirty Dancing, including Red Dawn and the mini-series North and South. He wasn't exactly an unknown.

And Robin Williams was huge before Good Morning Vietnam, both as a comedian and as the star of Mork & Mindy. Plenty of people knew who he was.

[IamDickee]

@deeoosee = well said, man

[TheCactusFlower57]

@deeoosee You know i thought i was the only person that thought he look like Patrick !!lol

[Nigelxman]

@deeoosee I thought he was half God.

[marokokisetter]

@deeoosee and now he is all robin williams

[yourdestiny]

Wow, it's weird hearing Bono say his real name =D

Love the documentary, thanx for uploading

[deeannesmith]

the edge. No Hat.

[uggla03]

how young did they look lol

The unforgetable remaster is out this year in a boxset like the joshua tree was in 07

cannot wait to see whats on it

[essy111]

Why did they include the eclipse to this video and why this freaky music? Im telling you something there has to be some kind of meaning that we need to decode to this.

[RattleAndHum1988]

Haha that music is like one of the demo's of Unforgettable Fire, the song. Haha! It sounds like Edge is just experimenting on guitar.

[jimmymacd1888]

dont be daft.

[essy111]

There is a lot of subliminal messages through this doc sneaking in sexual alluring attraction and also you see Bono drawing a picture where he has written HELP in CAp letters then you see him drawing the All Seeing Eye!

[irishmusiccentral]

absolutely brilliant documentary. love watching about bands making music..

[live4now80]

4:31 bono created the macarana in the 80's lol

[goofygoat2009]

Ooops, "1985" I meant to say.

[goofygoat2009]

I remember watching this doc for the first time in 195 and nearly shit myself. I was GLUUUED to the screen.

[idioot15]

one of the best documentaries....actually the best : )

[tommywm24]

Play from 2:50 really loud...my dogs went nuts!

[u2bigfanxx]

3:20 LOL............ ;D Love this guy.

[romourbo]

00.17-00.19 A vague echo of 'Bullet The Blue Sky'.

[shadowspork]

More like "Wire," but they do almost sound alike.

[wristsareforgirls]

Thank you so much for putting this on youtube!!! I just started attending an audio school last month and it reminded me of how watching this video when I was 10 or 11 was what first made me see just how fascinating audio is.

[247boogyman]

I was completly fascinated with "The Unforgettable Fire" from the moment I first picked it up. I continue to be.

Favorite song: "Bad"

[brajtnerinjo]

Edge looks a bit like Gary Kemp here, it's kinda scary

[4257280]

Such a cutie with a mullet))))

[boybandmassacre]

And they just got bigger and bigger..the magical success that would fold out before them

[MissSunFlower94]

4:24-4:34

LOL he's so adorable! I totally wanna hug him!

[RidiculousVoices]

in this looove song *LAUGHS*

ha i love bedge!

edge is so damn cute!

three sunrises=love

danny lanois is the man

[u2retrobuff]

great if they ever performed elvis presley in america along w/ the three sunrises & of course outtake "sixty seconds to kingdom come" always liked that song a lot great rythem to it like three sunrises

[pmendoza]

Was is that song the band is playing at 1:31?

[Terramax]

For some reason I think it might be a really relaxed version of Indian Summer Sky

[joao888]

I think it's Wire, the same as appears seconds later. QUESTION IS: what's the song on 4.10??? I would kill to know what it is or if it became anything at all. It's awesome!

[pmendoza]

I think it's an early version of Wire when the band was finding it's sound.

I also wanna know what song is that on 4:10. Sounds cacthy and jingly.:)

[joao888]

just figured it out: it's Three Sunrises! great indeed

[pmendoza]

So that's Three Sunrises. Sounds great! I hope U2 release a remaster of The Unforgettable Fire plus b-sides (w/Three Sunrises) the same treatment like The Joshua Tree remaster. That would be so awesome!!!

[pmendoza]

Great news! I bought the Wide Awake in America EP with Three Sunrises! It's freaking awesome.

[subcin]

The first part (as the camera pans along the ground towards the castle studios) is Edge tearing out the chords from "Wire", and the one at 4:10 is indeed "Three Sunrises", but I think what theyre playing at 1:31 might be a rough early rehearsal of "Pride in the Name of Love".

[gtr71]

I believe 1:31 and what follows is the music for Boomerang which was the B-side on the Pride single. There were two versions, one had vocals and the other was a instrumental.

I know for sure at 1:43 to 1:50 that's the middle section of Boomerang,the drums and bass part for sure.

[subcin]

This is a fantastic documentary, U2 at their highpoint in my opinion.

[dsignrdane]

OMG, they were so cute and young and, well cute. Oh Bono, wow, he was so hot here. Okay, I really need to stop or I'm gonna start drooling.

[desida23]

Oh my GOD, 3:19! Hee!

They were so precious when they were that young. Wow.

[rhcpluvr4life]

OMG I know! I practically died laughing when I saw 3:19.

[krock910]

I love this documentary. Young Bono is so cute.
