  • I still can't believe how long that list is...

  • Best.halftime performance.ever.

  • Looks like there were 117 9/11 truthers disliking this video... surprised they haven't flooded the comment section with their nonsense... Thank you for this Bono... I haven't seen this since it came out when i was 17 years old.. I shed a tear then and I shed a tear now

  • best superbowl ever

  • What does Bono say quietly as the intro to Streets Have No Name is playing? Sounds like he repeats it twice?

  • @sequalls MLK from The Unforgettable Fire

  • This performance proves without a shadow of a doubt that U2 is the greatest band of all time and in my opinion they are the greatest band of all time by far.

  • @Matty415100 I agree with you totally. I have always thought U2 were the best - no other band can ever top them or any other band has even come close to them in my opinion :)

  • At a time of profound grief in America this performance was exactly what the country needed. Respectful, commemorative but at the same time, uplifting and profoundly moving. A real moment in history. There was controversy at the time that super bowl 02 got an Irish band to play half-time, but U2 were the perfect band to use. Few other bands have captured the spirit of a nation so successfully. I watch this every year on the 9/11 anniversary (I lost friends in NY).

  • When I die this is the only hymn I want playing at my funeral.

  • Madonna? For real? Come on, get U2 to do it again, or get Coldplay!

  • I meant that year btw

  • Hopefully, my team, the same team that won that superbowl (Go Patriots) Will go and when this year.

  • Saw their first performance post 9/11 and thought I'd be prepared for this. Nope. Not even now. STILL chokes me up, every single time I see it.

  • esto es dinero bien invertido !!!! no las mamadas de los ultimos años en el superbowl!

  • @alexavwenz I'm w ya they all sucked after this! And now they want Madonna? Seriously? I like her but really? Really?

  • @MrDillonMurr Me too. I always get em. A decade later tears n chills every time! Best EVER!!!! In every way!

  • This performance is touching.

  • who won?

    

  • Well it could be worse this year. We could have Justin Bieber.

  • @RKEE764 it is Madonna that sucks!

  • So a decade following this amazing performance, we get Madonna. Fucking. Madonna. Jesus....

  • Amazing (-_-)

  • Almost a decade to this.

  • Greates preformence ever made in a superbowl! if you dont agree you dont know shet about proforming!!!

  • Chills & Tears; Everytime.<3

  • This was the right song, the right band and the right moment in the right time in America. There won't be too many moments like this in our life.

  • The real highlight of this game did not even involve a football.

  • chills all down y body from this its truly amazing

  • How can u watch this with dry eyes? By FAR, the best performance at the SuperBowl

  • 117 radicals hated this video...

  • IRISH AMERICAN AND PROUD OF IT!!

  • Saw this concert here in Denver in 2001. None better.

  • I'm fucking tired of waiting. Look at us, spinning, TOGETHER in this universe. We are becoming so much and we always were. 7,000,000,000 humans living together is not a problem to me. Bring on any argument. We're all one in the same, LITERALLY!  It's overdue to see us how we really are.

  • America and freedom will SHINE FOREVER!

  • @IslamISsick1 Not if we don't change our ways...

  • AMERICAAA!!!!!

  • Bin Laden got 117 account just to dislike this video

  • sweet stuff man

    

  • Fuckin epic. Best live rock band in the history of music

  • Comment removed

  • Its a wonderful song, from a wonderful band, making a beatiful tribute. I whish one day U2 perform such a tribute for those inocents from IRAK, IRAN, SAUDI, JAPAN, EMIRATES, GERMANY, NAM, AFGHANISTAN, RUSSIA ... ... .... .....

    Its not a tribute for being proud of USA, is a tribute to be proud of our world and think in a the victims of others wars (bosses)

  • i feel the sorrow and saddness yet i continue pride that i live in USA

  • WOW... ;)  e

  • sweeet

  • ..a bit good..!!

  • Almost cried, no regrets

  • Still moves me eveytime I see it!

  • what about the the concert for the millions of iraqis pakistanis and afghanis  who have died ?

  • 1:25 Oh, Lord, open my lips... that I might show forth Thy praise....

  • There was never a more powerful moment in music as this. Never. Not one.

  • i love celebrating the deaths of the people who died and suffered during the 9-11 crisis! it makes the bitches wet!

  • I dont remember the game, or who played. But this show I will never forget. Too soon for Bullet the blue sky?

  • You have to be really idiot to dislike this video

    

  • This is U2. I love it. Thank god for this music.

  • This is U2.

  • This is what we want for a SuperBowl half-time show. Not the freaking Black Eyed Peas!

  • @DoThatReject

    They need BEP. When U2 performs we see how insignificant the game is in the big picture.

  • @wojovox Haha, true :p

  • Woaaah...that was stunning!

  • Terrific Tribute. 9/11.

    World's Wonderful Band.

  • If i had to be Blind or deaf, I'd choose blind because i want to be able to listen to U2's beautiful music, especially this song

  • u2 blows... if u arent tone deaf

  • @thesinner922 If you hate U2 then why did you come to this video, so you can trash on us to compensate for your micro penis?

  • @DrakrSlyr  yep

  • Tell me this isn't the best performance of art/music ever. The ultimate defiance of evil in the most spiritual of ways. The glory of the indomitable spirit of man against all odds.

  • @thebandicalendar awesome comment-- thank you.

    

  • quel ego incroyable et ça utilise les victimes du 11 septembre pour sa chanson, j'y crois pas une seule seconde pour son titre ! hallucinant ! ohhhhhhh vive le dieu sur terre ! pffffff lamentable, surtout quand ça rechigne à donner de l'argent de sa personne

  • GRANDIOSE !

  • I remember as a 9 year old kid watching this superbowl and halftime show with my dad. The performance gave me chills then, and as a 20 year old young man, I still feel those same chills anytime I watch this video or hear this song.

  • beautiful tribute all ways proud to be USA

  • I remember feeling something as a cub scout when we all listened to America, America at a pack meeting. I guess it was national pride. This is something else. When that riff starts, it's like Superman is here, and everyone loves him. It's nice to hear people screaming for Superman for a change, instead of some thug.

  • Bono Poo

  • The best superbowl performance hands down. Who remembers those god awful performances with MJ. (may he rest in peace).

  • Greatest performance ever! in Superbowl!..agree!?

  • 115 People Are tErrorist!!

  • Of course the patriots won. The patriots epitimized the country at that time: the underdog, the ONE team, the team who came out as, well a team instead of individual players. They had character as well as class. They not only represented America, they were America. I wish I could have had the privelege of being at that wonderful super bowl, but my dad was. Watching it now it is one of the most powerful moments i've ever seen. Best part of the video: the American flag in his jacket.

  • without a doubt the best halftime show in SB history (not like there's much competition)

  • 01:49 AMERICA

  • Best tribute for 2001. All the victims of that year are Where The Streets Have No Name, walking the streets of glory forever.

  • I think, i pray, for all the victims of the american and europeans wariors, all the civilians killed, all the people victims of capitalism, victims of imperialism.

    I think that their names could be inscribed on the facade of the WTC.

    Theire is no band singing for these people, that's a shame for humanity.

  • U2 has stated many times how much they love the US. They realize that without their fan base here they would not have had the successes of their careers. This was a wonderful tribute heartfelt from them to us. No politics, no blame just a way to say... hand tough America, we love you.

  • 115 people are unAmerican!!!!!!!

  • absolutely bloody fantastic, and a tribute to 9/11 and the USA< God bless America

  • @jobogottennis MLK is the first song he sang. It's from the album The Unforgettable Fire. It's a lullaby tribute to Martin Luther King. What Bono is reciting before the "Streets" song is a prayer. Psalms 51:15

    "O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall show forth thy praise."

    He's a total class act.

  • What is the first song? Also what does he say as he's coming down the ramp?

  • thumbs up if you played this song during the weekend of 9/11

  • AMERICAAAAAAAA!

    Love it.

  • I had forgotten about that performance. Amazing.

  • Best tribute to those that died that day, to date. Best half-time performance at a Superbowl as well! RIP to those souls, and for our U.S. soldiers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice protecting this country!

  • @shuabert Shut the fuck up you peice of shit muslim lover.

  • I remember watching this live performance and I cried like a baby. It was a beautiful performance and a tribute to 9-11. Much respect to U2! One of the greatest Rock bands of all time!

  • 10 years and the victim's name and songs stay eternal! Rest in Peace!

  • R.I.P. the 2,976 American people that lost their lives on 9/11 and R.I.P. the 48,644 Afghan and 1,690,903 Iraqi people that paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit & the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who experience this every day.

  • R.I.P WE LOVE YA ALL SORRY THAT WE HAVE SOME PIECE OF SHIT PEOPLE LIKE TERRORIST IN THIS EARTH GOD BLESS AMERICA ALL THE WAY LUV YA ALL!!!!!

  • May this song serve as an anthem for all of the victims of the terrorist attacks that occured on the fateful day of September 11, 2001. Let us all dedicate this song to their innocence, their boldness, their patriotism, and their enduring legacy that has been woven in to the fabric of America. Thank you to U2 for this consolation of a song, for it has uplifted many American hearts out of grief and in to acceptance, resilience, and pride.

  • They delivered the best performance and tribute i have ever seen... god bless New York, God Bless U2, and God bless america!

  • What a GREAT performance..

  • 10 years ago today..... Rest in Peace to the ‎2,753 innocent people that lost their lives on that tragic Tuesday morning

  • I still get goosebumps from this. Best halftime performance ever

  • @jtcolts72 So do I, these moments are what makes life epic!

  • This is easily one of the most beautiful tributes to 9/11 ever created. In a time of our great country's most utter despair, through the power of music, our heavy hearts were inspired and lifted with hope. I don't know about anyone else who has watched this, but every time he opens his jacket at the end and those stars & stripes show, I weep with uncontrollable pride. Whoever the 114 minions of satan are the "disliked" this video....may you rot in hell and God have mercy on your evil soul.

  • @Jaycra24 Well said. I agree. I was so lifted by this. And look at his face after he does the jacket pull and steps back from the mike -- you can see by his face, how much he means it. I gained a whole new level of respect for Bono and the band after this.

  • @Jaycra24 fuck you pal was 10 years ago move on great songs but fuck sake stop been a little dildo callin people minions of satan im gonna dislike every 9/11 tribute video to piss you off unless it has u2

    only reasons it has likes is because of the song nobody pittys you fucks anymore

  • @Jaycra24 Yes, of course. Truer words have never been spoken. Feel pride for your great country and your brave soldiers who've killed around 150,000 civillians in your greed fuelled war. They'll all definitely go to heaven, but FUCK the people who dared to dislike a YouTube video. 117 evil heartless bastards that clicked that button and condemned their souls to eternal damnation. God help you, buddy. Coz no one else fuckin can.

  • @Jaycra24 "may you rot in hell and God have mercy on your evil soul."

    Then, if you're rotting in hell, isn't God technically NOT having mercy on your evil soul?

  • 90 countries lost their citizens and we remember them all. We are all one people, with the same hurt, same loss but with the same strength and hope. This amazing video shows that the human spirit can will always rise above fear.

  • 10 years have gone by. 2,977 lives lost. May they all rest in peace.

    - from Australia.

  • @HolaDeco never

  • I remember that so vividly... His scream right after shouting 'America' snapped me out of my gloom from 9/11 like a slap on the back from a good friend- from that moment on I knew America would be okay. Quite an amazing performance at a time when we needed it. Our generation is truely blessed to have U2...

  • Hey, you 114 ungrateful motherfuckers, if you don't like it here, you can easily move to another country

  • @DaClint91

    only americans have youtube ?

    only americans cant watching this video ?

  • I have seen a lot of live performances on youtube. This is hands down the best.

  • Ahh us americans, can never break our spirit:)

  • Thank God for U2, not perfect, but so often come through in an astonishingly real way in a cynical world.

  • Whats with the 113 dislikes? Really? I mean.... REALLY? The Dislikes are obviously terrorists.

  • Whats with the 113 dislikes? Really? I mean.... REALLY?

  • Perhaps the most powerful Superbowl show ever. The list is chilling.

  • The only thing the Super Bowl was ever good for was that performance right there.

  • Amazing tribute, I still get chills and teary eyes when I see this...THANK U U2 for such an AMAZING tribute !!! 10yrs ppl lets never forget 9/11 !!! God Bless

  • Stupid puppets of the bush and the enemy of the muslims... all muslims are not the terorist but all stupid puppets are enemy of the muslims

  • @obemir eat shit shit eater dirty turbin butt fucker!

  • @rockrboy83  fuck you motherfucker.... you are not rockerboy...you are the most gayboy ;)

  • @obemir that was only once asshole! and it was after i feel asleep so it doesnt count! how dare you hold that against me!

  • this makes me cry its so good 

  • best halftime show the world will ever get

  • @Mcpimpin16 Too true

  • Never forget, 10 year anniversary coming up , September 11th....The terroristsa will never win...or kill American spirit..I was driving thru Utah to New York in February 2002....still seen one of the best Winter Olympics ever in UItah...and seen amazing spirit in Manhattan....at ground zero...Super!!!

  • Never forget, 10 year anniversary coming up , September 11th....

  • As the anniversary approaches I tend to look at this video and remember seeing it during the Bowl, I haven't seen anything done better or more appropriately since.

  • as a sports fan, this puts into perspective that there are things more important than sports and anything else in life. i'm anxious for Sunday Sep. 11th, 2011 when the dallas cowboys come play the new york jets. it's going to be real emotional at that game, and all of the other nfl games that day to kickoff the season.

  • How do you dislike this?

  • Why did I have to be young when this was live on TV. Even though U2 was first band I heard of

  • That intro is absoluitely breathtaking.

  • Freakin' goosebumps..

  • I bet Bin Laden was screaming at his video camera during this event!.... He can scream with the fishes now....

  • Wonder what was on the the rams and patriots faces when they heard this or watched, if they didn't, they missed the biggest goosebumps and tears of happiness of what any band did of their life.

  • I never cried harder!

  • I cried like a baby when I watched this live back in 2002. Hadn't heard them play MLK since 1987. Brilliant. Chills.

  • LOVE!

  • This is by far the best Super Bowl halftime show ever. Not even close. No group is even in the same atmosphere as these guys. No boozing. No drugs. No crap. Pure class and a total oneness with the fans. NO ONE these days posesses this. U2's simply in a class by themselves. God bless these 4 awesome human beings!

  • In my opinion,this is the most powerful,and moving Super Bowl show,of all time.Say what you will,but these guys put into words,what we were all feeling.May God bless them,and all of us always.

  • I doubt these goosebumps and chills will go away anytime soon...I have no problem with that

    

  • it's the most powerful tribute to 9/11 and its victims that i remember from that time. and two moments -- at 5:05 when the names collapse and at 6:01 when he reveals a US flag under his leather jacket -- are almost too much for anyone to bear.

  • breathtaking

  • i have goosebumps....and tears.

  • That's just..... spine tingling

  • OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE... Bono is the KING.

  • @Andyr0b...damn right...nearly ten years later still proud and still remember the day and those that aren't here..

  • I know that groups rarely (if ever) perform at two Super Bowls. But, if any were to get the honor, U2 should be the one.

  • epic

  • Best Superbowl half-time performance EVER!

  • This is why AMERICANS have taken U2 to their hearts....

  • I love it when he prays in the beginning of Streets.

  • This is why i hate music these days. its all about auto-tuning ur voice to match the harmony, key and rythm. the black eyed peas performance made me puke...it was just a huge light show..oooh wow who cares...you need music to lift u from the heart and make your soul fill. not many bands can do that. U2 is one of these bands. That intro makes me cry along with that almost lullaby like song in the beginning. Bono silently sleeps to the spirits we lost that day. Nothing will match this perfomrance!

  • How could 111 people not like this.... Hmm??? I guess that's America for ya.

    Freedom is great!

    America is great!

  • HOW THE FUCK can 111 people dislike this? Oooh wait, they meant to say ''Dis-I-Like''!

  • @elisdewaard1 they might not like the music or artist, not the chance to mourn the tragedy of 9/11

  • @msav111

    Well ok, but I always want to know why they dont like it, because this is what real music is....;)

  • Anders Breivik sent me....I needed to smile after the atrocities he committed....

  • Comment removed

  • Chills, every time I watch this.

  • Metallica and U2. 30+ years and still kicking ass, biggest bands in the world!

  • ONLY U2 could do this. FOREIGN band, remembering the most American of tragedies. Although it shocked me to the core in the UK, its still not an easy job. Well done U2, a massive goosebump moment.

  • now that is a fucking performance. That guitar intro gets me everytime with chills up my spine.

  • chills all over my body

    

  • fuck BEP (black eyed peas U2 IS WAY THE FUCK BETTER THEN THose clowns

  • thumbs up if going to busch stadium 360 concert

  • @giorgiboi123 I can't wait to be there! We are gonna watch the womens world cup final at a bar downtown and then get in line for the show. U2 is gonna be amazing!
