U2 - Pride + City Of Blinding Lights Live Obama Concert Washington [HD - High Quality]

[MeneerFantasma1]

Vote Ron Paul 2012 for REAL change.

[crowleydokralho]

u2 PERFECT



[nanpetersen]

I once heard Bono say, "I love the idea of America." Me too.

[hoot2416]

It sucks for the military band members that's sitting right against the stage and can't turn to see them.... but then again I guess its better than being deployed to (at that time) Iraq, Iran, or Afghanistan.

[mathixvw]

amazing

[Agga1904]

awesome.

[ElValaproductions23]

4:38 "not bad" obama prove this concert

[humanforotherhumans]

I always listen to this once a every 3 months.- to energize myself

[KENNS1]

Great Stuff.

[LanceHelmut]

very flattering response..just a hick from jerkwater u.s.a. & i "get this". how anyone could not "get this"...well said it already...keep the flame burnin' !

[gixxerboy555]

How many people where there?Anyone knows?

[gixxerboy555]

It's a petty that Bono's Voice was only 65% @ such a beautiful moment...

[ZtDreamRider]

boring 

[juliansa74]

@ZtDreamRider Go back to justin bieber

[CristianMclovin]

2:56 Worst version ever!

[Jimmmeeehhh]

@CristianMclovin well it was January, slightly cold to sing...

[ressikka]

IRA  usa u2 en ymmärrä.

[ressikka]

best u2 and Obama and family

[kmgerrity]

Simply awesome!

[thejonte1]

I have a small question, because I do not live in the usa, my question is, What's so bad about obama? grateful for the response

[rcameronswindsor]

@thejonte1 Republicans are crybabies and hypocrites is the best answer I can give you. He's not perfect by any measure but he's a Hell of a lot better than the eight years before him.

[hoot2416]

@thejonte1 Obama isn't necessarily a bad president. I think a lot of the criticism/negativity he receives comes from the republican party's propaganda machine and a lot also comes from unrealistic democrats that thought he could get the US out of the mess Bush created in a single term. I will vote for him again in the 2012 election (because the Republican candidates just don't look that good. Without having to worry about reelection, I hope he'll take a harder stance against the Republicans

[Ramonajunie3]

DAMMIT U2.

Oh well, at least you have good songs. :)

[Flamorgan]

IRA terrorist funding scum

[weeDaire]

@Flamorgan howw were u2 funding the IRA ;s

[Flamorgan]

@weeDaire They gave the IRA hundreds of thousands of pounds along with American funds from Noraid to buy guns and bombs from Lybia and America, Bono was threatened by the IRA in the 1980s and since then has funded their terror campaign through the millions they make every year.

[themightyboosh10]

@Flamorgan here...go fuck yourself!

[Flamorgan]

@themightyboosh10 Oh look, another Shinner comes out of the woodwork LOL.

[MrTryhardfail]

@Flamorgan Cool story

[imnotdiddy]

@Flamorgan U2 actually had to take shit from the IRA for writing Sunday Bloody Sunday

[ressikka]

obama best yars 1961

[cathrasher1974]

[SuperCODMVP]

[Jubes12345678]

20 people don't like Marten king Jr.

[faendettavarjobbigt]

Oh, what great times of hope it was. But i wonder, where is the change we believed in?

[LanceHelmut]

if you don't love this you haven't got a pulse

[stew9521]

@LanceHelmut my friend they nailed this performance with biggest audience watching iand as usual they were amazing, i was so nervous about watching in case they messed up but as usual they showed us why they are the big players in times like this.im a proud ulsterman and extremely proud of my fellow irish men who do so much for peace and reconciliation wherever they go,..god bless

[jacobekelundarbast]

Epic starts too when the doors is getting open and Edge is opening the song

[trumph77]

why would you watch the video if you dont like the band

[Libertylover1969]

I never heard about this performance until I just stumbled upon it, then again, I was hiding from politics from the time Ron Paul lost the 2008 Republican primaries and McCain emerged as the choice of so-called Conservatives.

That said, being no fan of Obama. . . This was a moving performance. U2 playing the Lincoln Memorial. Wow! Not bad Paul! Not bad Dave! Way to go Larry and Adam. It seems the dream you had, came true too!

[busybj]

@Libertylover1969 This whole concert/performance piece was SUPER moving. I think given any political leanings, you MUST appreciate the enormity of Obama winning the election and what it meant to a country to help heal it's self inflicted wounds. I can look at this concert and think it a little over board, but no, it was a BIG deal, and will always have been a big deal and great day for America.

[muusikman]

BORING tepid shit music , that is what this is. SUCKS big time, singer sucks too

[quibto]

@muusikman yeah and you failed at life, so shut up

[muusikman]

One of the worlds worst bands ever! SOO totally untalented. This guy is not a good man, he is on the dark side and his band sucks NEW WORLD ORDERS dick.

Freddie Mercury forever

[TheJagsMusic1]

@muusikman and you can kill yourself if you want...

[tangent123456]

@muusikman weird, 100's of millions of people would disagree with you, including Barack Obama himself. What the hell are you doing on this video if you despise it so much ? no life perhaps ? i'd go with you having a sad life though :D

[camerongordon]

what a great crowd! fucken spoild peices of shit... if i was there i would try and jump on the stage :P

[yutuboslaven]

4:47 Let freedom (free dollars) rain!!!

[MegaCongresso]

Tesouro Político-Música dedicada ao Bono Vox do U2-pela sua poesia e simplicidade como ser humano!

A Juventude Não Está Perdida. Temos consciencia política!

Estúdio RDP-Brasilia-Brasil

[SuperLela32]

[jpjames1]

[Netlocd]

19 people have pride in the name of shit.

[JelloB1333]

@Netlocd lol

[TGbaseball26]

that would be so hard to play guitar in freezing weather. I have a tough time playing if my house is too cold

[peteaimaro]

U2 was the highlight and the best thing about the whole election Music is more important than government or politics.

[oneokrock4ever]

@peteaimaro ye that makes sence.. to bad slayer didnt rule the world. that would save humanity for sure

[davidrivera54]

talvez muera x este comentario, pero, sale chuck norris en el min 1:10 ¡¡¡ bien lo dije ahora morire en paz X_X

[bluelink113]

Is there something wrong with the bass?

[eliteslaya13]

Awkward Obama stare...

[xxleandraxx1]

MLK, American I love my country even though we are in the shit hole cuz obama.

[drew199321]

and then we got obama :/

[JRRDPR]

how many fucking people??:-))

[shawngr8boy]

I really wana go to a U2 concert sum day...!

Thumbs up those who agree wid me....

[Paulinacameron]

@shawngr8boy you have to! it's the best show you can possibly imagine! if you ever have the chance, try your best to go, i waited good 7 years to go to one because tickets were sold out the first time they came, but believe me it was worth the wait.

[xxleandraxx1]

@shawngr8boy I almost went for a graduation present at the rose bowl but sold out! instead I saw Hollywood U2 the other night! sooooooooo amazing

[jingwah]

thats the simplest set up ive seen by edge playing live..wow..STILL AMAZING!

[london1817]

U2 needs chuck norris to play cow bell or tamboreen...just saying!! They rule!

[alegiaodarazao]

MLK dream was a black man to become president?! Ridiculous! Many support Obama because he was black (mainly the black comunity). Was that MLK dream? "I have a dream... live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." So if you voted on him, because he was black and believing that was MLK dream, you were racist and stupid! And if you only believed on that "yes, we can" crap, well, you were just stupid - he is a polititian! RIP MLK!

[Kooshkff]

@alegiaodarazao

What did you expect? it's bono :P

[mynameisreed1995]

i swear, when this band ends, i am going to react as if a death in the family occured

[ForcaPortugal17]

@mynameisreed1995 That's how I feel. It would be an immeasurable loss, like losing a loved one. The consolation would be that I've had the pleasure of seeing them in concert twice. If you have the chance, opportunity, go see them. It's an experience that will sustain you and your soul for a life time, like their albums.

[sannee63]

U2 will rock forever! My favorite band ever!

[nomardll769]

Best band in the world right there. I freaking love them to death. Great lads they are! Keep rocking U2.

[MrCloonfad]

@nomardll769 makes me proud to be irish

[dnf1962]

quanto vorrei essere stato li!

[Carloskool27]

Se parece cuando se posesiono santos en colombia ese poco de papayeras puercas qe pusieron

[cheapy2006]

this is the greatest desecration!!!

paddys (i am one) taking the name of a man who, in his latter years campaigned against war and big capital, is disgusting to me!!!

bono is a half-pint little scut lickspittle of whoever's gonna give him more more money.

he hasn't a decent bone in his wee little body!!!

[TomAraya23]

overated bunch of paddys, in ireland they are known as the shit, fucking kunts if hez jesus tell him to save ireland first then africa mothafocka!!!

[coolnolan1]

Pure goose bumps! America you made the right choice, you are now beginning to show the example to the world!

[laralott]

This is the man with the biggest Eggs on erth,,,,,,,,

[thejonte1]

where can i get get glasses as bono´s they are cool

[pixargod]

@thejonte1

Well there is a website that allows you to buy Bono's Fly shades from the zoo tv tour.

[jeroen207]

@thejonte1 Googke is your friend :)

[DCnishy]

@thejonte1 They're about $800+ by Armani.

[135aerosmithfan]

u2 isnt a band, they are disciples from jesus!!

[adracadabra33]

we hope u2 stops giving concerts in name of turkish islamic fasist government of akp, 60 journaist is in jail in turkey because of their antigovernment views, a number more than iran, more than china

[sequalls]

I love u2 layered meaning in their songs

Some ironic lyrics for the Big O today:

"The more you see, the less you know

The less you find out as you go

I knew much more then than I do now"

will become more so as time moves on, if you base your knowledge on flawed assumptions.

[stergiosz241]

amazing job!

[maria461]

did he say Palestinian dream in front of obama?

[Damase19]

Epic part starts at 4:53 <3 <3 <3 <3

[TOGA4808]

u2 is not a band... they are an experience!

[Niesha18C]

ADAM IS SO COOL!

[ruman962]

14 people are Al Qaeeda agents.

[jhniscolV2]

@ruman962

dude that is in bad taste

[aysenmen]

[elisdewaard1]

[gisbatistella]

Mt bom, U2 sempre a melhor!

[BaldwinVOX]

[CastelanMexico]

U2 360 degrees TOUR ! THE BEST EVER!

GRACIAS U2

[carlovonetti]

bono = angel

[christianaso90]

Samuel L. Jackson + U2 = Epic win....

[liam13coins]

So now that we elected Obama, does that mean Paul (bonner) will stop begging Americans for $ for Africa and clean up Ireland's mess instead?

That's my American dream Paul.

[liam13coins]

Yeah, and just what the hell would Dr King think of what the American black community has become? And those so called leaders? Oh I bet he would hate this Irish band that hasen't had a hit since Jousha tree too.

[moonwaffles711]

I think The Edge should've been in the Beegees with those harmonies!!

[Sakuler]

i think Bonos voice was a little bit "damaged" by illness this day..

[kthdoppelee]

love u2

[YoungDylanFan]

@romans11israel And Bush was a fucking genius.

[goaliedp]

haha this song's secretly about jesus :) nice job u2

[funBlackout]

great video. you know that verona love u2?

[waru2360]

se ve que hacia bastante frio ese dia !!!!

[doctor6450]

This is something better. A little idealism has it's place in the world.

[slashmkd]

ramo do ramo druze moj

[rcameronswindsor]

right wingers suck

[geo0o0o]

the best band in the world!

[TheFirstJedi]

@geo0o0o Without a doubt in my mind! :)

[miguelithorr]

perfeito

eles sao demais!

[carmanjames]

Joe Biden cheated his way too the top.

[rcameronswindsor]

@carmanjames how so?

[6Sharkey]

@WESSERPAAQUAT

It's clearly obvious it isn't a music playback. You can tell even by the end of the Pride solo, its different, and the ending. I highly doubt they'd re-record this to play live, once. U2 don't do that, at least now that Top of The Pops is gone.

Dallas Schoo (Edge's Technician) Has control of the different presets also.

[pcisme77]

Thank you for posting. What a wonderful moment in American history, captured by a band from Ireland! Wondering who the 9 who "do not like" could be. Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck's 9 personalities must have voted.

[TheOlchik1986]

Bono is my president!!!!!!!!

[WESSERPARAQUAT]

i am totally embarrassed to be Irish by this overblown clown , midget clown

[WESSERPARAQUAT]

Bono is a P rick such a p rick embarrassing to hear him rant , embarrasses me

[Lupolea]

Love this Song!!!!!!!

[Guitarist3568]

the edge without a pedal bored? Holy shit!

[WESSERPARAQUAT]

@Guitarist3568 thats because the music wasnt live for this its only a live vocal the are doing it to playback thats why clayton is laughing in the beginning

[Guitarist3568]

@WESSERPARAQUAT theyre lip syncing?

[earlymtv]

they should have played rejoice instead..

[MsRocketSurgeon]

To everyone who is talking about crowd reactions- I was there. It was 30 degrees and windy. The mall was packed! Everyone was enjoying the show, but there was a delay between what happened on the stage and on the jumbotrons, so it was hard to react accurately.

[FlattersonProduction]

god! the sound is terrible, it's a shame, such a great song pride and such a great band.......

[FlattersonProduction]

god! the sound is terrible, it's a shame, such a great song and such a great band.......

[Jackylegssss1]

this crowd is stupid, maybe theyre just not u2 fans, but this is awesome, if this was one of their concerts, it would look like the ground is moving

[Hellstenen]

wtf is up with crowd, maybe they're in some kind of torpor because of the awesomeness lol

[rector321]

ramo ramo druze moj :)

[fernandofcdf]

PERFECT U2 U2..U2 U2 BRAZIL ! ! ! LOVE U2 FOREVER...

[goodolfashioncola]

I cry to city of blinding lights everytime I hear it :)

[Jimmmeeehhh]

i wish they had something like this in the UK, althouhg for David Cameron it would all the shit music.

[bumblebee943045]

Is it me or is that crowd totally still? Uhmm, hello? U2 is rocking out in front of you! U-fucking-2!! At least clap. Jeez. =/

[torylelandkirgiss]

I am a big U2 fan, but you have to wonder if they see what's going American politics now and If they look back on this concert and realize it was silly.

[mayorama97]

@torylelandkirgiss realize what was silly? how the heck was this silly? it was seriuos. Martin Luther King Jr. took a huge step in the walk to obliterating slavery, and the first black president is another step, even if it's not quite so big. I think this fit perfectly. i'm not saying you aren't entitled to your opinion, because everyone is, but I was just wondering quite how much you thought about that one.

[sofia739]

dead crowd



[1923GreenDay]

@sofia739 Politicians....

[mcphisto85]

@sofia739 unfortunately, but it was freezing cold (January)

[heavyaby003]

@sofia739 dude, its freaking cold out there i guess.. LOL

[Damase19]

@sofia739 Because they are far :P ._.'

[xxleandraxx1]

@sofia739 I know, if I were there i'd be getting the crowd going, lol.

[freydey]

@sofia739 what you expect, its washington

[ujwalaraj]

U2+ quiet audience = weirdness.

[MegaTrainspotter]

don't judge u2 on their political views? judge them on their music.....very important point..
