this is one of the best live performances in the history of any music award show.
the walkout, down the aisle like a pimp, the jump on stage, the power and energy of the performance, the attitude of Bono - kicking the mic and stage kick at 4:33 - and Bono reaching out for the camera. Fucking awesomeness. Only bad part is Edges very rare, VERY rare screw up.
I was a freshman in high school when this aired...I watched this and was thinking to myself "Wow...who ARE these guys?" Never heard of them before this performance...Looked them up that night and was immediately hooked...and this was the performance that started my obsession, look forward to seeing them next tour =)
No offense, but until then, you had to aske yourself, "who are these guys"?? Did you live underground in a fall out shelter since the cold war or something??
well if you think about it, the album they had before ATYCLB was POP, which sad;y didn't get much coverage (in Kansas anyway...which is where I live) on top of the fact that it was released in 97 which would make me barely 12...AB came out before that one and had MASSIVE coverage....and I was 5...but mostly I call my "rock" I lived under Kansas
Kevin Spacey totally wanted to look 'rock' that night.

What a fucking idiot at the beginning. Poor Bono, it seems it spoiled his mood. Anyway they deliver on demand, great band.
