U2 The Fly Live From Chicago

[matezguy]

What guitar is Edge using?

[pkluivert99]

Edge's guitar used for the fly during vertigo tour sounds much better than the strat used for zoo tv and 360

[snoop12345ful]

6 haters suck it!

[luirive]

One of the best U2 songs! Masterpiece!

[Goodmar1]

gran solo de guitarra



[Goodmar1]

LOS MOJORES CONCIERTOS SON DE U2

[Goodmar1]

una de las mejores cancion de U2

[Frederickowitsch]

Das beste THE FLY aller Zeiten..

[ipi223]

thanks u2

[DarkNinjaTwo]

what model is edges guitar? I want it so bad

[Whatscrackin94]

@DarkNinjaTwo

It's a custom designed Line 6 guitar made especially for The Edge

He demonstrates it in another video just type in "The Edge guitar rig"

[benji31320]

@DarkNinjaTwo it's a Line6 acoustic variax 700... i want it too :)

[DarkNinjaTwo]

@benji31320 Thanks!

[TwinsPeru]

good version of the song but I prefer elevation tour version.

[90alexcatalan]

why are this band so good they are easily the greatest ever

[jezza10181]

I love Edge's riffs, so simple yet so effective

[BryanSlashed]

@jezza10181 even if you knowing ALL THE PEDALS HE USE, You still saying that his Riffs are 'So Simply' ???

[U2Mike8393]

the intro is epic. better than the studio version.

[mrbigbair]

listening to this makes me so fly

[bomabompa]

listen to the guys' comment below me

[linkinmaharu]

I think Larry also the legend of the drums. I respect Larry as a special drums player.

[nouhta]

I think its nice to see Bono playing guitar every once and a while. He really doesnt do it too often....

[ft1987]

Play it loud. The most loudness you can.

[CocamoJoe]

@aerospaceboy, they're playing Zooropa and Stay virtually every night, and their techno remit of Crazy Tonight has Discotheque's riff mashed w it at the end now, too. All we need now is Acrobat and Mofo:)

[northerndisclosure]

"Everything YOU know is Wrong" !!!!!!!! Wake Up people They shove the shit right in front of our face and we do nothing. Investigate 9/11, Investigate Chemtrails, Codex Agenda 21.

[bloc22]

My favorite U2 song. So intense. In case anyone is wondering if The Edge is playing the main riff live, he did in the beginning, and then simply looped it using a guitar pedal. Note, this is only for the main riff.

[TheGuille411]

the edge really well rather than separate touches others too .... excellent U2 legend

[matthew5749]

when edge begains the gutiar listein when it repaeats over faster he is not playing

[KangoTV]

@matthew5749 Delay?

[thedaveevens]

@KangoTV actually a looper... but it doesn't mater 

[raoninery]

@thedaveevens actually its a delay with full feedback

[thedaveevens]

@raoninery 10 repeats?? haha, yeah I think you're right. My bad. Sorry

[Arturo82001]

SOTS Tribute

A MAN WILL FALL & A MAN WILL RISE....A.J.S.

[Thenerfbros1]

I crapped my pants....MOMMY !!!!

[Robsondoara1]

D+ U2 Eah foda

[onewithu2]

How rocking would it be if U2 played the Fly, Gone , and Even Better Than The Real Thing this summer in the US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AeroSpaceBoy130]

@onewithu2 The already have "Even Better Than The Real Thing" back in the set, but I totally agree, throw in some classics from Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop and youve got a U2 show (Not saying their other stuff is bad)

[MikeinPurple]

I like this version a lot better than the one on the album for some reason. I think it's the lower key, and Bono going an octave higher in the chorus.

[Killzone3Awesome]

The Edge? WTF

[PartyMarty523]

Im still amazed that everything the Edge plays in this song is on acoustic guitar. Definitley best performance

[andisetsfire]

@PartyMarty523 to be exact its an electric / half acoustic guitar ;)

[GQOfficial]

U2 and Chicago... whatta great combo!

[MrLis1989]

I believe this was the best time for U2. Even better than Rattle & Hum. Unfortunatly, I was to young beck then and I discovered them when they published ''All that you can't leave behind''...

I suppose I must be greatful that I've seen them once live in ''360 tour'', but i wish i was their for the ''Zoo Station'' and ''Popmart'' tours...

[DrakrSlyr]

@MrLis1989 me 2

[TheKingofRockMusic]

I was at this very series of concerts in Chicago, and, this song in particular, at this time and on this tour was so mind-blowing perfect and loud it just knocked the roof off the place....it was spot-on and perfection, completely in-sync at the height of U2's powers...this song, these performances, right here...keeping in mind that the DVD was a collection of these nights in Chicago...mostly of one performance....but The Fly, when they rev ved it up, just knocked me the f*ck out of me.

[Thefb70]

i love this! achtung baby is a gret album! the best of U2 for me! sorry they don't play il in live anymore...

[zeribeiro2u]

hatters gonna hate

[mazfit1]

I love This song.....

[bonavox11]

ROCK N ROLL ... !!

[HyperU2]

So good it makes even Bono want to try guitar.

[jakovasaur]

By far the best version of this song.

[soulkiss1001]

jesus shines like a burning star hes falling from the sky tonight a man will beg a man will fall at the sheer face of love jesus is no secret to me

[cesarbestdadever]

slide at 4:03 and riff from then on.... gives me chills every time!

[lm035]

The fact they haven't played The Fly on the 360 tour so far amazes me!! this song would have any stadium rocking!!!

[VicRattlehead79]

@lm035

True... i love this song. It's a classic.

[abregum]

definitivamente, the edge no es de este planeta...

[WarriorAreGodSailors]

[WarriorAreGodSailors]

fly...like a fookin bitchh roach from a wall.

[JOHNJOHNBISC]

U2 Fans, Bono released a new song, it's called ''Mercy'' (Awesome song)

[speedRickspeed]

What's the chord shedule from 3:10 ? It's going Cm - E and then?

[merni14]

@speedRickspeed i think a Bm, but tab sites show Bm-A-D

but i think Cm-E-Bm sounds better!

[merni14]

@merni14 i mean at the chorus but, i think its a CM-E-Bm- anotherone idontknow- D G or someting..

[greecekostkon]

Listen to the Boston live version of the solo. Your mind will blow!

[DaNiElUxH92]

bono makes my dick go wild

[laboloche]

Orgasm

[lauvicto]

This is from other universe!!!!!!!!Awesome =D

[U2MatheusQueirozU2]

The Edge is the music in person.

[94741414]

@U2MatheusQueirozU2 Yeah!! ..Edge is The best!!!

[NikonFstopper]

the best, nothin more to say!

[spooked1oo]

Mr Edge,

My mind has exploded, and my face had been melted.

[TheFlyBaby1]

The + Edge= Guitar Legend

[andisetsfire]

am i right when i say that the edge is god ?

[TheGuille411]

@andisetsfire if it is really good .....

[Goonthurr]

@andisetsfire You couldn't be more spot on sir. Absolute legend.

[EagerSnake]

@andisetsfire Yep :)

[liveprintservice]

@andisetsfire we're all Gods. I SAID YOU WERE GODS!!! EH

[elpeliguy]

Good show man nice cap man the green guitar give the mistic effect... but still a poser ..

[javiercristian006]

The Edge has shown that does not need to play guitar like Slash or Jimy Page to be one of the best guitarists in all over the world

[agizzleg]

:O

Please excuse me while I change my pants.

[liverpoolfcfab5]

Everything you know is wrong. Remember that... It'll buy you a cookie from U2.

[kingofpecos]

This is what makes them so great: their intensity, their passion. The chorus with Edge and Bono is amazing. This song gives me goosebumps.

[lm035]

They sound checked this song in Helsinki better be making a reappearance on the 360 set!!!!

[andisetsfire]

@lm035 are you fuckin kidding me , they sound checked this ?! :O

[lm035]

@andisetsfire : I kid you not!! Seriously cant understand why it hasn't been played!! they should also play last night on earth again seriously love that song!

[HascBass]

I don't understand why everybody is talking about the performance of the Edge, of course he is a great guitar player, but I think that what makes this song one of greatest in history, is the presence of a drummer like Larry, a bassist like Adam, a guitarist like Edge and a vocalist like Bono, this song without one of this four isn't nearly good as it is, so don't say "how good is Edge", but say "how good are U2", they always make a show to be remember forever

[Caillou263543]

@HascBass I agree with you, every U2's songs, without one of them is not the same

but it's true that in this song the guitar is very ahead

[rebootYOURSELF]

@HascBass You are absolutely right, U2 is so good because of all the four members. But for me (as someone who plays the guitar) Edge is the most awesome man because in despite of how good U2 is, it is very-very easy to play U2 songs on guitar, because Edge always aims to just simply play guitar during the songs, and not to become a virtuoso

[rudyghinasky]

perfect song perfect chord progressions perfect acoustic lead guitar ever perfect camera shots perfect crowd perfect video!

[kissit22uk]

yet another stand out performance by the ever modest edge

[elpeliguy]

Check out the black cap and green guitar that bono is wearing wot a posser.. is he really playing it the edge does not seam too sure..

[lm035]

@elpeliguy stupid comment!!.. of course he's playing the guitar, you can hear it clearly under edge's solo!!!!....... and Bono looks fairly cool with the cap and guitar!!

[Gal491]

Unreal!!

[unlimitedvenom]

I've listened to everything from Satriani to Nirvana and this is one of the greatest guitar solos ever!

[u2feeder]

they should soooo bring this song back into ther set! bring on The Fly 2010 360 tour!

[VolunMerds]

edge is awesome..he got a sensational sound..the guitar solo of this song is awesome...

[imao666]

The best guitarist in the world has such a cool voice!!! Rhythms well with Bono's.

[figureskates1763]

My mom and i were in new york and we saw bono and he saw us!!! He put his hand on my moms shoulder! U2 is the greatest!

[MrManchesterutd17]

The Edge is really wonderful !!!

One of the best guitarist in the world !!!

[cristianu2war]

temazo por dios!!! que epocas de achtung baby...ojala pueda verlos en vivo algun dia

[timmi59]

Everything You Know Is Wrong

[DjimiPaij]

@timmi59 lloydpye dot com

[juanfran41]

edge es el mejor

[rollinstorm99]

WOAH! what a performance....who knew that edge could sing so well live! He does a phenonmal job on the studio version. but damn live...his vocals give me goose bumps. Let U2 be a part of you!

[timmi59]

@rollinstorm99 You're totally right about that. Edge is one of the best harmonizers in rock n roll.

[derekw26x]

who's says edge is crap huh

[dkrakovski]

my favorite version of my favorite U2 song

[RushRules4]

Sweet Guitar Edge!

[lm035]

This song would have rocked on the 360 set!!!!

[andisetsfire]

@lm035 im sure they will pull it off this year...wait....tey HAVE TO :D

[freydey]

this song is sooo fucked up, hope they add this for upcoming 360 tours

[sidheartraja]

At 3:06, Bono knows he's listening to the best sound in the universe. Can you feel it? It's the moment when the music goes beyond your eardrums and reaches into your soul.

[ESPARTANPROYECT]

pffffffffffffff very very good

[vgames89]

What I love about this song is that it can be played in so many different ways and still sound really good. I even came up with my own version of it (it's not that good but I'm working on it lol).

[vgames89]

Great version. Not as good as the original Zoo Tv one or the Elevation Tour one but still really good.

[roaringwaterbay]

what year was this performance?

[josepy157]

@roaringwaterbay U2 played four shows on May 7,8, 10,and 12 of 2005 in Chicago. First leg of the Vertigo Tour. They filmed each night, but who knows what night the dvd is from?

[drethe92]

Bono Like Les claypool xD

[octoberguitaru2]

i wonder how many people think that edge cheated and really wasnt playing because he put his arm up at :26.

Heres the thing:

most idiots dont even notice.

Slightly smarter people think hes a poser fag that is "lip" playing.

Smart people relize that he stepped on a pedal for that.

just saying, its kind of funny.

[octoberguitaru2]

no dude, go watch those bbc interviews of edge. he plays the fly in one of them and in it he does the thing with the delay / looper. i think its called "The Edge interview 2008 2/4"

[octoberguitaru2]

who ever said anything about bonos rythem guitar? im talking about edges part. the dotted eight notes

[SuperPissflaps]

@octoberguitaru2 it was a backin sound

[octoberguitaru2]

oh, come on. why would edge play with a backing track in an interview? edge even asks Dallas "is that the long delay or..." when hes setting up his pedals for the song. ive even played it with this sound with my band. mick3b1g does it with a delay on his axe fx. go ask anyone who plays this song. also, edge plays some other notes during the part that you can hear repeating

[raconei]

@octoberguitaru2

Yes you're right ! In fact Edge switches an other delay with a bigger feedback which gives this 'techno" sound... ;)

[derekw26x]

thats why u2 are the best they take risks

[guyinjeep16]

Holy shiat what a great guitar....

[GDMNAPOLI1979]

very best performer...............

[Sorene02]

We make the show, we do the business, maybe this is show business.

This song rules.

[Jack0xx0]

U2 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[GQOfficial]

U2 are the bomb

[TheGavio93]

@GQOfficial a bomb that doesn't need to be dismantled.

:)

[outleav06]

3:30 : chills down my spine

[Rockdog1961]

Edge is music's Einstein!

[AntiRellik]

Sickest version of The Fly ever!!! Bono's guitar is sick! Edge is even sicker! Dang, incredible performance, MUCH better than the studio version. U2 pwnz their own albums on live performances 100% guaranteed.

[07pilot]

How good is Edge, Are you Serious? Simply Amazing !!

[andoniandolini]

ya queda menos de un año para sevilla, U2 los mejores

[Europe1992]

Magnificent !!!!!!!!

[AchtungBaby1874]

words just cannot describe how great this band/song/performance is

[sidheartraja]

2:50-3:30 --- the best 40 seconds in rock-and-roll... or should I say Show Business?!

[extreme67]

U2 wrote "Miami"

[dermott06]

get over it. wat have u written?

[1965albertov]

It's such a memorable performance words aren't enough to explain this immense sound. These guys will rock forever!

[roncesvalless]

puto temazo¡¡¡¡¡

viva u2¡¡

[TotoSoloRock]

Waw ,Fucking sound!!!

[DjimiPaij]

Do you think one day The Edge will just plug his guitar into an amp and just play like that? ;p

[runawayushould]

He does my friend...

[danbreen13]

bono looks so wrong playing guitar and the gretsch is way to big for him he should have a fender

[whoax]

Edge says he demo'd this song's riff in a Line 6 shop and bowled the guys over as they hadn't designed that guitar for this kind of abuse.

[oski2005]

It's amazing that he plays this with a Line 6 acoustic.

[madmachine1]

Everything you comment is wrong.

[u2feeder]

this is vertigo. boston is elevation. elevation is better. but i prefer the ending to this one

[dugfly]

Yeah it is actually Chicago from the Vertigo tour dvd. I like this version but prefer the Boston one.

[jaccomenting]

its actually not from chicago but from Boston

[nizzepower]

I have this on dvd, and I'm pretty sure it's Chicago, the Boston version is kinda different :)

[jppjc]

its from chicago...i have the dvd

[tjittosz]

In Boston Bono jumps into the crowd :).

[twofuckface]

How? I mean he dropped the guitar and then jump?

[tjittosz]

@twofuckface He doesn't play the guitar in Boston.. You should look at it.. at 5:40 he falls in..

[zodiacdragoon]

@twofuckface

he doesn't play the guitar in boston (elevation tour)

but you can't forget about the amazing intro that was unique to the elevation tour

[outleav]

The sound is crazy!!

[fastfoodclowns]

Everything Paul Hewson (bono) Knows Is Wrong! He looks like the singer for Judas Priest.

[acrobat311]

Love the solo in this version.

[gqman101]

when was this concert?? I'm trying to remember if i had seen this live... :)

[skipper375]

great sound

[aaron19038]

I would put zoo tv sydney fly version at number one... This version at number 2... And boston 2001 version at number three. I like this and zoo tv version better because in the chorus bono sings and octave higher where as in boston version bono is singin low and edge isnt singin at all!! Although the boston intro is very good

[sidheartraja]

This elevates my pulse rate.
