U2 & Billie Joe Armstrong - The Saints Are Coming (Live in Hawaii 12/9/06)

[GreenDayhomeboi]

@emerson24: Dude I was there too!!! It was SOOOOOOO f**king AWESOMELY INSANE!!!! Poor Billie though, his mic was jacked up. Dx

[Billie0Souseh]

shitty microphone ! but i love how billie joe rocks out !

[sk8rpunkify]

i love this song and billie joe!!!!!

[TheSOurOnee]

All you see in the audience are lights from their phones and cameras. I would have been doing the same( x

[altroval]

If you like this song, then please search YouTube for more stuff by "The Skids".

They were an excellent band with an amazing guitarist (Stuart Adamson, who died in 2001).

[Tucayo10]

wow, that's some mic problems

[CtotheWalker]

Excellent save by Bono!

[EMANUELsonic]

it seems that Billie mic did not work properly.

bono he approached his microphone.

[eesdl1]

bugger - supported Skids from the beginning and only just found out about this credible cover!

[emerson24]

I was at this concert. The place was OFF-THE-FUCKING-CHAIN! And then they closed it out with Pearl Jam. Place was electrifying!

[BLaCK0uTZz]

Hope ur not American but this version is about Bush having a better interest in deploying thousands US forces in Iraq n Afghanistan while having hurrican Katherina at home turf redecorating the landscape in a negative way. And he kinda lacked care IMHO... This is how I saw it back then anyway and Green Day n U2 made a clip about it.

[greendayisawesome100]

holy crap, why doesent billy use that SICK guitar when he plays with with green day??? he should

[1988alexuta]

what exactly is this song about?...i have a clue but i don't get it completely

[MrYadneerg]

Press 5 on your keyboard many times in a row, and look at Billie Joe Armstrong.

That's cool.

[THEJESUSOFJOHNSTOWN]

nice save from bono wit the mic problem

[JuulYT]

Looks like the sound guy forgot to turn Billies mic up.

[jasmln1]

My favorite video.

[brightwingy]

I was sad when I didn't get tickets, I wanted to see U2 since the 80s and Pearl Jam since they first had a show in Hawaii. Then the night before the show my friend found out they released more field tickets. I spent about $60. Awesome! As I was about to leave the stadium Kid Rock walked by me. I saw Green Day in Hawaii almost 10 years earlier.

[jasmln1]

THIS VIDEO IS SERIOUSLY DRIVING ME CRAZYYYY!! IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD.

[bort269]

@jasmln1 That puts a smile on my face. While I was filming this, I started regretting the fact that I wasn't jumping up & down and dancing like a madman, but I hoped that capturing this moment would be worth it. This performance just freakin' rocks!

[jasmln1]

@bort269 Ohh.. but I'm really greatful that u filmed this and posted it on yt and didn't jumped up and down! I'm seriously watching this video 10 times a day. It's driving me crazy, literally.

[jefter7676]

I was at this concert. Freaking Awesome!!!

[nolapas711]

feel the love at the end!!! thanks greenday and u2.

[jasmln1]

I liked the sound without hearing billie joe (which is my hero) sing!! :D Really cool! At : 0:50 - 0:52!!

[kla671]

i wish greenday wuld come to hawaii :(

[AilusGD16]

I lovin the Billie Joe's movement (I don't know whats the name) in the 0:38. The best duo in the history! ♥

[alanalovesmusic]

Green Day :D

And U2 is awesome too ofcourse :D

[SirCommentzWay2Much]

I think its better with the greenday members, an extra drummer and a guitarist can make the difference.

[NicoGreenDay95]

Billie + Gold Top = Amazing.

[chipsamy]

the microphone sucks, but they are the best

[PunkNuggetable]

Billie your mic fails. I approve of Bono's sharing skills. :3

[carly3592]

I was here... on the floor.

[AppHacker5000]

damn i live like 40 mins from there and those are my two of my favourite bands!

i was at the aloha stadium in 2005 too bad i missed this!

[fjmi]

awesome performance!

[aichourlyes]

fuck man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBrownStoners]

i was there!

=D

[eevellina]

so awsome! damn mic.. but nothing can stop them from performing:D

[cloudstrifezackfair]

Damn I did not know that Billie Joe Armstrong came to the Aloha Stadium. I live like 15 minutes away. Does anyone know if Green Day will perform in Hawaii maybe in 2010? I looked at their current tour schedule and they don't list Hawaii anywhere.

[YoniIsrael]

where the opening of the house of the rising sun?

why its not in the video

never mind nice song by the way/

[bort269]

they didn't play that intro for some reason, that's why Bono starts talking in the video before the song.

[nolapas711]

@YoniIsrael this is not the one in new orleans.... it is a different city. great version of it though. check out the live version on YouTube... live in the superdome to see that one!

[patman089]

so many mic malfunctions... amazing song

[87MSH]

I love this song

great cover from great bands

[HarajukuGaga]

OMG? I live like 20 minutes from there!

AND I DIDNT EVEN BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG CAME!

:O

HA!

[Alexr197]

This was at the Aloha Stadium?! FUCK I MISSED IT!!

[Marflober]

I love this song, great video !

[markoleclerc]

To me this is the best 2 band song ever. And its kool how bono like oh sht! damn mic.. here joe take mine hahahah

[23Vanguard23]

[picayunems]

U2 & Green Day you guyz need to go take over congress.

You have my Vote.

[alexaychuy]

billie is sooooooo hot!!

[L30isdabest]

i was there!!!

[emerson24]

So was I, the crowd was PUMPED! I was sent a boot legged copy of the entire concert, this song came out much better. It is the most treasured item I have in my possession.

[aquakttnstar]

God, if I could relive any concert - it would be this one. It was awesome!!! Thanks for taking the video!

[eyeann]

fuck micro!!! shit!!!!

[alidlid]

you're right, when Billi Joe begins to sing the micro was a disaster, that's why bono comes to help him

[jtoatoktoe]

it was the Saints home opener, first game back in the Super Dome...not the super bowl

[pontlicker]

I was there.  Before billie joe came on the stage he was in the vip. thing and i was inforont of it so i got to shake his hand.

[kapak001]

kllll

[movieman132]

you r without a dought a luky man :)

[darksupersilver231]

@pontlicker Shake his hand? I would have been holding on to him for dear freaking life! xD

[billiesxwhatsername]

u can tell billie is having ALOT of fun

[omfgshitt]

lmao hahahh they had to share one mic. how sad.

[krnhitokori]

in hawaii?

they did this thing twice?

[bort269]

no.. just this one show.

the first one was postponed due to a family illness.

So to make up for it they brought Pearl Jam to open and then everyone came on stage for U2's encore!

[krnhitokori]

no i mean they played "saints" twice?

[bort269]

no, they only played it once...

I filmed the entire time that they sang it (unless you mean the rehearsal the night before)

[krnhitokori]

they played the song in america at the superbowl

thats what im referring to

[bort269]

in that case they have played it 13 times:

u2-vertigo-tour. com/ The_Saints_Are_Coming-s595 . html

(removing the spaces)

[luvgd]

I guess he meant live

They played 2 times

Hawaii and at the Superbowl

[bort269]

so you mean U2 + Billie Joe?

then yes:

U2 and Green Day performed it at the Superdome

U2 performed it on their tour 13 times

U2 performed it with just Billie (not the other Green Day members) once in Hawaii

[agfoo]

damn who did the fucking sound? the sound sucked

its not the bands fault...somebody who set it up messed up.

[bort269]

well, this is an audience recording so the sound isn't going to be as good as a DVD or if you were at the show!

[agfoo]

true, but his mic clearly messed up

[bort269]

oh word!

I thought you meant the entire song had bad sound!

yeah, someone surely got yelled at for not turning on Billie's mic! Bono mentions after the song (before Pearl Jam comes on) "get some microphones that are plugged in!" ;-)

[TreCoolRocksMySox]

I feel so sorry for Billie when his mic screwed up, that would be a little embaressing. I remember back in December 2005 when Green Day were playing in Sydney Billie dropped his mic. OMG it was funny... guess you had to see it...

[mcphisto85]

is Billy playing Edge's Les Paul Gold Top? :)

[WTig3r]

looks like it...

[ArrJayEss]

@mcphisto85 I'm pretty shure he is. that's a very cool guitar.

[frostlancedaath]

billes mic sucked...

but omg the two most owning bands together!

[9daovang4]

ahhahahahhahahahahahahaahahaha­hahahahahahhaahhahaahhahahahha­hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahah­haahhahahahhahahahahahahaahaha­hahahahahahahhaahhahahahhahaha­hahahahaahahahahahahahahahhaah­hahahahhahahahahahahaahahahaha­hahahahahhahahhahahahahahahaah­ahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahhah­ahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahh­aahhahahahhahahahahahahaahahah­ahahahahahahhathe mic fuked up!

[Jonnypinny]

lol @ the mic fault

[magaruza]

LOL

[AvrilRosmery]

UHHH COOL

[Akoomam]

my aunt was at that concert, I wish I was there too since I live there

[ilovemusic1994]

billies mic like wasnt working haha

[ilovemusic1994]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

[kaleowao]

This was the greatest concert I've ever attended.

[bort269]

I have to agree that all my life I've dreamed of seeing my second favorite band (Pearl Jam) open for my favorite band (U2) and since I went to Cal (Berkeley, where Green Day is from) Billie coming out as a surprise was amazing! I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to keep my camera still!

[M5PowerM3Power]

Lol Billie is going crazy with the guitar like usual ;) Bono flawless like usual ;)

[misskmusic33]

i wish i was at a U2/green day concert in hawaii!!!!!!!!!

[timtownie]

I remember U2 when they were still U1

[Rukey1]

ACE!!!!!

[SpikeMinoda]

I was there

[thesaintsrcoming]

man, I love green day

[mrsarmstrong21772]

aww poor Billie! his damn mic wasn't on!bastard microphone!!!lol

[greendaycover456]

greenday and u2 rule greenday the best, u2 the second best band ever. waht a beautiful concert.

[greendayfreak248]

poor billie and his mic

[nhlluver19]

u2 rocks

[bjgreanday]

HA billie's mic wasnt working

[bort269]

luckily, Bono swapped with him ;-)

[tom2da2watton]

i cant wait for theyr new album

[blair4545]

billie joel looks weird with blonde hair

[stattic6]

Ever seen any of the videos for Insomniac?

[jimmypun12345]

its billie joe

[Dan984Player]

Your so lucky you got to see them! 2 of my favorite Bands

[dodi555111]

i am very glad to see bj playing Gibson Les Paul Standard because its my favourite guitar and best fuckin guitar in the world'!

[funit01]

GO SAINTS! WHO DAT! SUPERBOWL!

[l00kitsmaryyy]

im so glad to see green day getting back to making good music instead of american idiot.

[dumburt]

Fuck You. American Idiot was and is fucking Amazing. I do like, however, how billy's mike stops working, so Bono brings his over.

[ThreeHeadedDragon]

U2 and Green Day are both 5-star class acts, no matter what material they put out there, and how much everyone wants to hate it. You can't deny that.

[greendayisthenetwork]

Bj isn't wearing his guitar that low anymore. Sad. I have been for a long time. He should lower it. That was his signature thing. Still cCool though!

[johnyg30518]

I don't think BJ is using his own guitar on this one though. He still wears certain styles low though. See the Bullet in the Bible DVD for more examples.

[nolacrab]

many thanks to The Edge for his support and dedication to the musicians in New Orleans...a little heart goes a long way...much love to all who care about and have helped their fellow Americans-from a white boy in the Chocolate City

[MissMinority]

Billie is beautiful. I love him very much.

The guy who filmed this, had a pretty good sit/stand-in

[bort269]

yep... I was in line at 5:30pm the night before to get that spot with a rail behind me, so that nobody would push me during the filming!

[chanjcw]

i wish the quality was better, and i wish they would sing louder

[bort269]

and I wish Bono would give me a lapdance, but it ain't gonna happen

[darksupersilver231]

@bort269 Lol xD

[xuwang137]

this one its atleast a bit more decent than the other vids that i saw

[daynalovesgreenday]

the saints are coming is lovelyyyyy

i love it love it love it !!

Green Day Rox

[degrassicraze]

im glad to see billie joe getting back to good music instead of american idiot

[billiejoesexi]

lol. Awesome. I love Billie's hat. lol

[bohs61]

Not as good as the original by The Skids.Did Jobson and Adamson get the royalties?

[dawniedarko]

The royalties for the cover went to the Music Rising campaign, in New Orleans.

[ninobgoode]

I enojy the energy that Billi Joe brought to the U2 stage. No offense to U2, I'm not the biggest fan of theirs but I give them all the respect they deserve, but I think Green Day would definitely add a new edginess (no pun intended) to U2's show.

[gsbreath2]

I like the allince of U2 and Green Day, the two only real bands now.

[AskaGreenDay]

awesome, thanks for that =]

[xteddygeigerx]

billie joe <3

amazing filming. amazing video.

thanks!

[TeenageAssassin]

That would have been awesome if Billie's mic had been working better. It was cool of Bono to come over and see what was up with the mic and sing into it with him though.

[bort269]

yeah... I love at the end when Bono says "any more Saints? Get some microphones that are plugged in!"

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THIS CLIP (as well as the other 2 songs I filmed at this show) by clicking on my profile!

[TeenageAssassin]

Yeah, that was awesome. :)

Thanks!!!

[StoliDassah]

It was really great that he covered him like that, but also super funny that he kept switching mics and sort of forgetting which one was off. An unfortunate flub, but it looks cool when they share the mic.

[Letterbomb13]

ahhh....i love it. go billie and all your awesome guitar moves i wish i coudl do haha. great song \m/

[GreenFlag182]

they had good seeets...lucky

[KarskiMarski]

AWESOME audio! I just listened to it 3 times in a row. :) Bono's voice is better live than in the studio as always. Hawai audience is very lame though, but that we knew already (apart from the 1000 who camped out of course!).

[punkette2009]

awesome!

[ilovemusic1994]

lmao the little kids song at the end haha

[ilovemusic1994]

lmao his mic didnt work thats funny

at first i couldnt even tell billie ws there haha until he started singing

[StoliDassah]

Talk about not knowing someones there...where the hell is Larry?...You know he's somewhere, you can hear him, but damn...all those lights directed towards him and the drums make him disappear.

[soccagirlme]

=] yaaaay

[GDxOWNS]

im really proud of wat they've done those 2 bands are amazing. haha billie joe made me laugh w/ his lil jump/walk/jig. he's awesome

[BillieJoen80]

[chixLL]

[sessafish]

erm... so were Green Day during her 35 yr old Math teacher's time.

[extraordinarydori]

I love this song!!!:D

[CapteurDeReves]

[bort269]

yes... thanks for clarifying this.

This was filmed using a digital camera and mixed with audio from audience recordings!

[luvgd]

Oooohhh... Bono thieved Billie Joe's microphone just to be close to billie's lips! Hes smart!

[alexandrez]

[myfooltook]
