U2-Live grammy music awards 2001 -Beautiful day

[contactafc10]

U2 GREATEST BAND EVER.

[eagoll267]

They should be called the bono awards

[cubx1979]

This was also the year he got on stage and complained about his own song after winning several Grammys for it. South Park really pegged Bono.

[09bassplaya]

U2 owns the Grammys haha, they are there almost every year! Love them!!

[nuggieman4]

most under apreciated band in the world!

[clmsntigr113]

Chili Peppers at 4:27. Best rock band around right now, U2 that is. But I love the Chilis too.

[avondevo64]

Kill that loud rap crap at the start!!!!!!!



[jabrooonni]

Get that punk ass rap bullshit off the start of this video. Jack ass.

[MegaCronico]

EXCELENTE!!! BONO SE LUCIO!

[CAMARO30082]

30 yrs plus u2 has been around playing. lets see how long all those newbie artist now days will be around? =^..^=

[lisamarie656]

Goosebumps at 1:05. Never fails.

[warioto]

notice edge with #3 on front. Pathos tribute to Dale Earnhardt who die just 2 days earlier no doubt, it was a very odd time even for people not big fans of nascar

[ThisNamesNowTaken]

@warioto That Sports Illustrated story was an interesting piece wasnt it.

[ghettoguhs]

I love the way he goes over to Larry and touches his back. Saying to him, hey buddy, we are here at the Grammy's and I love you.

[EddyRainbow]

Watch what Coldplay did the following year at the 2003 Grammy awards.

They copied bono's walk off the stage

[barn524]

@EddyRainbow yup. so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HolaDeco]

@EddyRainbow They copy everything Bono and U2 do

[iworldutube]

Another super group, and of course, our main man BONO! Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NorthgateStables]

No one can

[91keno]

who can dislike this video ?

[karpediejem1973]

its great indeed! I think their gig in Sweden (MTV) was even beter (though the quality is not that good)

[yappertrap]

perfection! the rappers were shittin themselves...how do you follow this

[u2man07]

This is also my FAVORITE live performance of Beautiful day EVER!!

[Wanttojfk]

Was this before the terrorist attacks ?

[chewychewy1213]

If there was a singer as good as Bono on American Idol. Whould they just have to cancel the show or something. Or maybe just end it early and start the new season sooner??

[s96822]

If bono himself auditioned in disguise at amer idol, they would reject him cause they are looking for hip hop, pop style singers. amazing but i believe it to be true.

[barn524]

@chewychewy1213 oh my god I laughed at that! SO TRUE if they ever got on AI ....look at U2 Stories for Boys Late Late Show 1980 on YT ube here....they should win even with THAT performance...hehe

[wolfennyc]

I love how Bono fucks up his hook line at the end,leaving part of the music with no words after "teach me love"...and Edge and Adam get together and have a laugh over it...gotta love Bono

I also agree with someone else that this performance is great,but the MTV europe performance which had over a million hits on youtube before somebody took it down and Slane Castle are better than this

[kewi444]

Yes! Slane Castle was1000 more magic!

[NorthgateStables]

best band to hit earth

[NorthgateStables]

u2 30 pluse you guys are still the best and make awsome song after another

[PinkFloydanddrfan007]

He sings perfect here!

Where he doesn't??

U2 4ever

[insainepsycho]

joke with camera is the best!!!

[drpopcorn]

Slane Castle performance way better.

[derekw26x]

red hot chilli peppers gob smacked

[TheDerekdub]

Bonos voice is out of this world!

[burton2r2]

was this their first performance at grammys??

[wolfennyc]

yeah it was...they never performed on the show before that

[hoofarded]

What I always thought was cool about this performance, was that the Edge was wearing a #3 on his shirt. They performed this song a week after Dale Earnhardt was killed at the Daytona 500.

[guhijokp]

Amazing!

[Zeppelinfan25]

wow...I'm speechless

[TITANIUMTOMCAT]

At 3:13 to 3:20 Bono gets the lyrics mixed up and he just pauses for a while. He sings "touch me I know I'm not a hopless case, teach me love...(oops)" In the recorded version it goes "Touch me, take me to that other place, Teach me love, I know I'm not a hopless case" He left out the take me part by error. Still a great song and performance though. I just think it's cool how things like that can happen to the best but they are so smooth at just working through it.

[aznlolita]

don't take this the wrong way,

he probably did it just because.. maybe not so much by error, because some live concerts don't quite go by their recorded songs.. they sometimes alter something

[jkrowns]

Well, I'll have to go with TITANIUMTOMCAT on this one... On the first chorus (around 2:10) he sings it right. But, then again, it was just an accident... Who cares? They still rock!! Can't wait to see them in Paris.

[SaraSaharaSarah]

I wouldn't have noticed that if you didn't say anything. just shows how good he is.

[ronaldthetyfan]

that proved he did not lip syned.

[spartacus4x]

Notice that he removed his earphone at the very beginning. There may have been some "technical difficulty" that caused the mess up, too.

[agizzleg]

But he always does that. Always changes the lyrics to some of his songs when they play live. Like Where the streets have no name @ Slane Castle.

[Jccagent007]

nice vocal work as well

[ayajedi]

Larry is doing some really powerful live drumming

[petecatz]

FUCKING MASTERPIECE! they must have made everybodys balls shrink in that place! Unblievable......

[Newyorkfoodie]

this is such a happy song I love it!

[acmrox]

I know!

It gets me in an good mood!!!!!!!

[SpinalCrash]

2:15

I love the edge!!!

[eoieduff]

There's the RHCP's at the end - they wish they'd written it like every other band!! :)

[04023111]

at 1.36 he grabs adam claytons ass. lol

[eoieduff]

Oh yeah!! ive come back to listen to this many times, and you dont get bored!! classic song and performance, up with the best ever in my view :)

im v surprised this hasnt got more views though!! ~

[1Rthebest]

U2 ROCKS!

[Raysalesman]

It was just a Beautiful Night. They won Song of the year, Record of the year and Best Rock Performance for this one!

[makna1803]

one of the best song ever i don't even know how to explain my feelings ands emotions when I listen to it.BEAUTIFUL U2

[KarskiMarski]

This version is so good that at first you think they're doing it playback. But nope, that's just U2.

[contactafc10]

@KarskiMarski they were always even better live, a rare feat in the history of music.

[stewiedasoccaplaya]

great

[freedom1891]

historic moment of the grammys

as it will be this night when they present get on your boots

[JonathanTerluk]

This song was already awesome and then he just spoke that one part and made it sooo much more powerful. an accident yes, but made for a cool preformance

[teclalbo]

u2 veni.... f jose..

[djftw76]

at the end you can see the red hot chili peppers

[patd1987]

at 1:37 does he touch that guys ass???

[darkshadow7789]

yeas,he does :D

[NewPhobos]

Best song. Best Bono. Best U2. Forever!

[u2MacPhisto09]

Great performance, but not the best for me, like the person below, I thought Slane Castle was terrific. But I love U2 and this song, and this version still rocks the way Bono changed it up when he was walking between the aisles =)

[dncinflwr]

Sorry larry929 but Kurt Nilsen did the best live performance of this. If you were thinking this is the best live that bono did then I would have to agree with you.

[MeTooU2]

Did you see Sisco all in red......Bono almost backed up on him! LOL

[pantalan98989]

It´s all in....forever the greatest....

[Dimi135]

The best live performance for me was at Slane Castle.

[SimonRamone]

haha red hot chili peppers at the end :D <3

fucking great perfornace <3

[Redsdelight]

That fucking thing at the beginning is going to make people go deaf.

[cutebones]

Je ne sais que dire, après avoir été sevré d'internet pendant 3 ans parce que j'habitais dans un collège, je découvre U tube et ses bombes, celle ci fut un excellent moment et Bono au delà de mes esperances. Great moment in a dark time, anyway it's just fun!!!!!

[corkbackruler]

once i read an article ripping U2 for being passe and cloggin up music when bands like Shonen Knife (sp) could be getting more play... seriously, the list goes on and on.

[haron11]

he screw up the text at 3.20. He sang one sentence to early

[vika4vox]

so what? that mistakes determine difference btw live and album versions. and they make bono jam)))

[mysocalledchaos]

if you cant tell the difference between live and album versions then u arent a real U2 fan.

[vika4vox]

it is not just about U2, it works with any band or any artist. There MUST be differences btw live and studio versions, because otherwise what's the thing in singing live? it's just not interesting. i am musician by myself and when i'm singing live i always try to make some changes in the song. To make the song more human you know...

[HacjienceYukona]

Lol, someone can't tell the difference between live and album, deaf is what I'd call it.

[FuckTheQueenOfUk]

The best version was any of the Irish shows. He gives more there than nywhere. Its definitely not Hyde Park- the english are big wankers who tore his country apart...he wont make much effort

[T0nn3r]

nobody gives a shit about ireland, which you are obviously trying to glorify

[FuckTheQueenOfUk]

dont know what ur talkin about u fukin faggot..its undesputable..how many u2 concerts in Ireland have u been 2....i wudnt imagine uve been 2 any..n ur clearly nt Irish. Were u from???

[T0nn3r]

i love hitting raw nerves.

The IRA raped your parents

[tearsp07]

dude watch wat u say eh? i take pride in my british heritage as u do with ur irish why waste time with someone who knows how to get under ur skin which he obviously did so yeah umm u2 rocks ass

[walterbrob]

ja see the rappers pookin on in awe?

[htmai2]

Best version by far is Beautiful Day at Live 8 at Hyde Park. End of discussion.

[htmai2]

Best was by far Beautiful Day at Live 8 in England!!! End of discussion

[Antarktida21]

It s the best version. Bono ´s cute...:-)

[debyveneziano]

U2 the best Band!!!!!!!!!! Bono :his voice doesn't change with the time

[xpertmuzikfreak]

U2 will inspire many more before they are through, I am sure. Good performance overall. I love U2 and have for many years.

[DawnCandace]

I love U2 and Bono. He is such a ham! But at least he hams it up for good causes as well.

[Franckdatankpart2]

The best version is Boston 2001. The voice was in a much better condition.

[jppjc]

the best version is by far the slane castle version

[bliwers]

im with u, by far "...you´ve been all over..."

[ayajedi]

U2 is such an experienced live band that Bono can take out his earpplugs, sing live and go walkabout or even make a few mistakes in the lyrics and still sound great

[h0opman31]

why is their band called U2?

[scollierz32]

they actually got their name due to the USA's most top secret spy plane at the time when they were young was the U2 bomber, i guess that thought it was a metaphor for something.

[Bragman10]

good version, although it's not their best live version that is afaik @ Live8 2005. :)

[kathyonok]

They are inspiring. And their songs always are so meaningful!

[OnexOne1976]

u2 THE BEST rock band ever

[cholorecio732]

LOVE this band....playing live its the best!!!

[jodilee10128]

I just love this band

[rjayz]

crowd look dead?

[rebelmachine88]

It's a Grammy concert, what do you expect :P

[kajsie]

U2<3U2<3U2<3

[sacura605]

the best band lol poor guy had to sing it with out his ear piece because it was mis functioning

[nudger08]

rocking

[football55panthers]

amazing.. just a few months before we were still able to sing about 'beautiful day's. great song.. never forget

god bless america

[dutchskunkthebest]

god bless america ?

god bless u2 !!!!

[goldenration]

bono said that the reason why he basically just started saying the lyrics (at the bedouin fires part)was because he was disoriented from the crowd

i though it made it better though

[micrheu]

Bono Vox! Simply the best.

[CosmoH]

I love U2! <3 =)

[machomachochan]

love it.

[lukaitor]

hell yeah! great version! I like more the slane castle one though... it's that energic ending!

[GJGJ654]

best prestation of this song

[vertigobabe70]

Bono, i want to have a baby with you. i adore you. i love you.

[dommelsch]

I don't think you're the only one! Best band ever!

[jax5556]

i want too! :D

[vertigobabe70]

isn't Adam so cool how he always just plays that bass and smiles?! I LOVE HIM!

[elvetio]

yeh.. adam rules :D

[vertigobabe70]

triumphant

[George9560]

you are absolutely right. It was awesome, i think their best live

[jcsoter]

Good performance, but it just didn't seem right without the screaming, jumping crowd.

[vertigobabe70]

yeah

[bsaul17]

I think the TRL version of this song is the best. His voice during that song was in top shape. Just watch and listen.

[888Mick999]

at 3:19 bono gets the lyrics wrong ..or is it just me?

[jitengehum]

true, wonderful observation.

[Fsturka]

Wonderful version! And I've never noticed... But Bono has some big hands. lol.

[vertigobabe70]

i know, i like those big hands...

[kelsey1819]

LOVE THE SONG!!!..sounds like Bono is comen down with a cold :(...poor bono..

[ICSKLE]

One of my favorate songs, I'd have to get used to this live version of it though.

[loslocosdefregenal]

the best version of this song are the Slane version

[alsar76]

I AGREE

[Vlaco84]

This isn't the best version of this song by far indeed, Bono's voice is not at the top of his game here. It's still great anyway!

[FutskeDB]

Damn, this is definitely not the best version. Looks Bono catched a little cold here :P Really i'm the biggest fan of u2 but in this sshow he doesnt take it to his limits.

[blackjack2150]

Those are Red Hot Chili Peppers at the end, right? When and where was this filmed?

[dpstevenson]

Um, U2-Live grammy music awards 2001 maybe? ;-)

[larry929]

and why not?

[dpstevenson]

Wierd. I was actually replying to a different comment which is no longer here. The person had asked, "Where was this?? When was it filmed??"

[larry929]

oh ok

[dieHanne]

I love this song! Thanks for posting this!

[afcwill]

BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!! The ending to this song just gives me goosebumps! My favourite song! Looking forward to a new album in 2007, hopefully!

[cnm2oo7]

Great Version. Why cant they bring a great song out now like beautiful day. Window in the skies is ok. But we need summet that can hit the charts and make u2 even better

[larry929]

I completeli agree with that,song like beautiful day,one,new years day,pride,walk on,stuck ina moment you can't get out and many more songs from 90s and 1999-2003

[dumpel]

damn this is good XD

bono also end it superb!

[sagee408]

that was a close one att he end, damn he pulled it off with poise.

[thekidisgold]

Bono's a real performer....gotta love the chilis at the end there

[m3mar]

Olha como os outros artistas ficam doidos olhando qnd o Bono passa entre eles, como se fossem fans num show!! Mto bom!
