  • totally wrong :C

  • what a beautiful stage

  • For those complaining about the way Bono's performing this song nowadays, he's doing it on purpose.

    He's in-character.

  • fave ko 2

  • i wish i saw the 360 tour. I hope they have another tour :)

  • @9Rachel91 with the same beuteful stage!:D

  • The band U2 as Dog Savanna are the bands that I like to hear! Viva Rock!

  • estoy felizzzz mañana veo a u2...amo a u2 yupiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • Yeah, what's up? As a U2 fan of many years, I've heard performances of this song ranging from spectacular to poor. This is really bad by U2 standards. It sounds like Bono's drunk or disinterested. Does he not remember the words to this song he's performed 1000's of times? He's all over the place on this one. He should watch Rattle and Hum to remind himself how he once sang this tune.

  • I'm pretty sure Bono's voice was kind of off...he sang it better while the 360 tour went through Europe, and into the States.

  • he cant sing this song like he did at the begining...hes older...he isnt young anymore...edge has to tune the guitar for 1.5 steps..i cant explain in english.....anyway its to hard for bono to sing like he did when he was younger..

  • I agree this isn't the best performance of With or Without You, Barcelona wasn't good actually, but he's still the best! No doubt about that!

  • I cant wait for there next tour! i couldn't go to their show in Vancouver :(

  • how long did the concert last i am going to the one in gillete stadium tonight !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • went to see them in sheffield last night... they were awsome!!!

  • i was there too, best concert ever!!!!

  • Oh get lost ;)...bahhhh!

  • WoooW

    this Tour will be amazing!!!

    better than the vertigo tour!

  • Comment removed

  • man the vocals sound band. he aint even trying to sing

  • i agree with hij, this is a poor performance of a great song. at least edge is still into it. im going to see them in september and it better not be this crap.

  • I L*O*V*E U*2~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*:)

  • ale hujnia.. a juz sie wybieralem.

  • mam nadzieję, że do koncertu w Chorzowie się nauczy ;)

  • seems he misses several lyrics on some older songs!!!??

  • He fucked up on almost every song. Not sure if he was drunk, tired or whatever, but that's just AWFUL.

  • 20 plus years of giving himself over to making music for the world... while doing his best to also change the world. And, you crucify him for a few mistakes at a live show. Pretty heartless.

  • I'm not saying he sucks from that point on, I'm saying that this performance in particular was TERRIBLE! It wasn't just a few mistakes, he was like this over the WHOLE concert.

    And I'm not discarding all the effort he has done before, but this, for the fans, it's just bad. The spectacle of the whole show is very well worthy, but if there's such lack of energy on the performer it just takes away so much value from it.

  • i would like to see you on that stage doing singin that song in front of all that people sure you don't have balls biatch

  • That thing you got between your shoulders, your head, it's not only there to balance your body, you know.

  • I was there.....it was simply amazing!!!

  • U2!!!!!!!!

  • i love this song i will so cry when im at their concert... next year! =[ long way off but cant wait! i love U2! I love the joshua tree album

  • am going 2 see them tommorow as well :D so pomped :D really hope the play more of the old albums then the new

  • The reason Bono sings this song like this is to give himself a breather. U notice he gives new songs everything. But he needs to pace himself so he can do the whole tour and save his voice. So he chooses certain songs where he can talk his way through and get away with it

  • That doesn't explain how the Stones do it.

    Personally I think he plays this song, cause we really really want to hear it. No u2 concert without with or without you :)

    I do agree however that they will plan the setlists so there are moments of rest. That is common indeed.

    Man, can't wait till tuesday when I go see them in Amsterdam!

  • Ok you two be so nice and stop now. We understand you don't like each other very much but you don't need to be so...childish...

    Peace!!!:):):)

  • youre really fucked up in the head dude... calm down... as i said... deal with your ignorance...

  • Look at your profile dude... is everyone a retard? EVERYONE CALLS YOU A WHITE TRASH PIECE OF SHIT... cool down... youre ignorant... deal with it... wont contaminate this vid with this nonsense anymore... hope you fid help someday...

  • Keep them coming... cmon... every comment... down, down, down dude... so sorry for you really... i can understand your illness and i pity you... im sorry...

  • every word you say just keeps lowing yourself down... cmon bring it... say more... so everybody can see what an ass you are...

  • Sure dude... retarded... entering to watch a video you dislike and try to talk trash on the greatest band in the world... retarded? cmon... just keep your high standards, thatll make a bigger dick than you are now...

  • i went to this concert last night, in nice :D it was soooo goood!! i love U2!!

  • fuck you... if you dont like it, listen to something else... i cant stand people like you... you are a true idiot and ignorant if you didnt knew this song before you entered here talking trash... wanna see some drums going mad? listen to portnoy on dream theater, but save your asshole comments to yourself... high standards? im sure... THIS IS U2 YOUR TALKING ABOUT ASSWIPE...

  • holy shit that stage is epic!

  • bono is singing crap...maybe u2 could swap bono for gary glitter..

  • in my opinion is not bad, for a camcorder u can expect a more than this, thansk for uploding the video.

  • cunt

  • It's a camcorder microphone, recorded from a massive distance away, inside an arena! What do you expect?! 24-bit 192KHz phase-accurate crystal clear hi-def audio?

  • Just seen U2 in Paris at the Stade France. Awesome 2h15 mins, they get better with every concert tour, fantastic stage set. Bono tries to get the crowd to sing along with this song, that's why it sounds so bad.

  • hope they sound better than this crap when i go to see them in in Las Vegas on the 23 of October

    what a disappointing version of this song

  • 27th Dublin!

  • What's wrong with this? Doesn't even sound like Bono is trying.

  • just seen this concert @ milan. Trust me he was trying lol they were fantastic. I was not a big fan when i went, but i am a true follower now!

    A great performance all round, and a great message!

    Have to say this doesn't seem as good as the milan experience...not sure :s

  • 21th juli - amsterdam, can't wait :D

    but the beginning didn't go well?

  • 07/18 Berlin...can hardly wait...

  • I hope they'll tour over here in the US of A.Love this song

  • amsterdam (L)

  • ma che cagata pazzesca......Bono sembra non ricordarsi nemmeno il testo della canzone e sbaglia pure l'attacco del ritornello!

  • amazing... 10.08. zagreb :)

    <3

  • thanks for having your cellphone with you; maybe u2 production will release this also...or another song. I cant even find video on my phone...so kudos to U. ..2

  • holy shit! yeaaaaah! Can't wait until the 18th july to see them in berlin! <3

  • god cant wait for this gig at hampden 5 th time seeing them now best rock band ever

  • What the fuck is wrong with this performance? It totally rules, this concert was the greatest in history!

  • Great bands never die! U2 RULES!

  • he was having trouble wit his earpiece all night, there was a delay on a few tracks, thats why i'm glad the opening night wasn't croke park.. he he :)

  • total shite

  • His voice is shite in this performance.

    But it's only their first show in so long too. Let's wait for the middle of the tour. They still are capable of blowing us away....hopefully. At least the MJ tribute was cool.

  • i was there and wans't as shit as it seems in this recording

  • Nice spelling and grammer idiot. Great bands never die, hope you dont hurt yourself falling off the BANDWAGON.

  • idiot...tickets are 50$...

  • U2 look like a band thats finishing ..no effort or desire and yeah the 360 tour means they can sell more seats....taking the money now...

  • what a stupid comment to make... okay it wasn't a very good performance, very poor in fact, but you can't slag the whole band off and the overall concert.. how about checking out some fo the other songs they played before making such a quick judgement..if you still don't like them then go and check out Coldplay, i'm sure they are much more interesting and exciting...............

  • que joder...

  • okay, this is my favorite U2 song but Bono ain't even trying on this shit. These cats just taking people's money now.

  • w/ or w/0 u... i cant liveeeee.....=)..q cancion x Diossssssssss....ya los kiero ver en vivoooo!!...

    zya on jersey xD

  • sorry, europe dont know good music?! Ireland fkn produced U2 sp go shuv dat up ur ass! pfftt america. nd i cnt believe ya's ar judgin d tour by dis vid.... it's shit! jus wait till dey hit croke park, dey'll rock it!! :)

  • wow, you guys are judging the tour from a shitty youtube video while you sit trying to make out the shape of the band because whoever recorded it is incrazy seat up the top.

    I hope you all remember the posts you made here when you are rocking your socks off at the REAL U2 concert - not crappy youtube video wuth shit audio.

  • looks like a boring tour....whats gone wrong ????

  • total rubbish...the worse tour U2 have ever done

  • Mira mettdude de los cojones, no sé si vas a entenderme, pero yo sí que lo hice. Sólo quiero decir que los "americanos", como dices tú (y seguro que sólo hablas refiriéndote a los putos Estados Unidos), deberías aprender una lección de humildad y respetar al resto del mundo. Os jode que U2 haya empezado su gira por Europa, pues bien, quizá sea porque U2 está hasta los huevos de vosotros.

  • joder, lo he entendido perfectamente y no se puede estar más de acuerdo

  • It happens every time U2 does a stadium tour...the first shows are a little rocky and people are ready to claim the band is done. This show will be awesome, I guarantee it. I can't wait to see them in October.

  • does anyone know if they played Drowning Man?

  • oh damn...i just bought my tickets two days ago and this is what i'll see? WTF!

    it looks like he is singing into a steering wheel.

  • The starting 20 seconds are completely wrong...Booonooo?!?! What's happening?!?!

  • Bono sounds like he's singing from his bed

  • Comment removed

  • what is wrong with you all, U2 group was never famous because they have the best singer or best guitar player, as one they are average but as together they are true U2 and that's not the group or band... it is an institution of greatest pop rock ever

  • weak... bad..sorry... i´m disappointed

  • que qué la pasa? que esta hasta los huevos de tocar este tema..

  • Qué le pasó a Bono? Parecía que le faltaba pasión...

  • espanol?

  • looks shit.....i went to the joshua /elevation / vertigo tours which were awesome ...watched the others on dvd......but their new album doesn`t inspire me to see this tour...really pleased i made that dicision

  • Oh, yes, sure, and why they don´t also crucify him?

    ...silly

  • Maybe you sixstringglory can go to hell, Bono is one of the best that there are at this time, and as a rock band, these days its hard to find one that last as long as U2 so, again go to hell and listen to brintey

  • OMG>>>

    I'm a big fan from Brazil, I've watched Zootv, POpmart ( in Rio ) and Vertigo ( in Sao Paulo)

    Man, this stage is overdoing it>>>>

    Where is U2's energy???

    GONE?

    They seem to have fun, but at all, I didn't feel them at all>>>> and the opening song is something realli nonsence with all this tour!

    I hope that was JUSt the first and LAST night with this format>> boring at all

  • everything is cool but the concerts will need more energy like in ZOO TV, POPMART, ELEVATION, AND THE VERTIGO TOUR AT THE SAME TIME IF THEY DO THAT THE CONCERT WILL FEEL IN AN OTHER WAY AND IT WILL BE BETTER TO THIS STAGE THAT ITS AT THE SIZE OF THE ZOO TV AND POPMART TOURS AND I WOULD LIKE THAT THEY MAKE A TRIBUTE TO ZOO TV IT WILL BE AWMEZOME ANYTHING YOU WANT TO TELL ME PLEASE SAY IT

  • the song that came straight from the planet mars!

    unreal

  • But you have to remember that Bono is getting older and so is his voice. He might not be able to reach the high notes as he could in the joshua tree, but his voice has changed and it's still amazing! Just in a diffrerent way.. you know? :) I love that song anyway!

  • i take it everyone who is slatting bono probably has an average age of about 20.

    just remember first gig on a mamouth world tour he's not to strain his voice on the first night. it will get better.

    yes i'm a huge fan. first time saw the boys was theRoyal Court Liverpool 1983 and have seen them live 20+ times.

    Come guys first night!

  • wow.... :) i'm happy for you, i was born in '86, i first heard them in 3rd grade (achtung baby), i grew up with them, i fell in love w/ ireland b/c of them :)...and i've never been able to see them live... now their tix are so expensive & they never come to my country so i'd have travel far. love them though.... :) luv u guys!

  • man, wasn't good at all.

  • he started out of tune =/

    but it's a u2 show!! it must had been amazing!!

  • que mal!

  • A little bit disappointing at the beginning, but I still love them

  • Sounds like he messed up at the beginning.. really out of tune. I feel so bad for saying this, I love Bono and U2 so much but he really lost it..a lot but once his voice gets warmed up on tour it should sound better!

  • Don't count on it. U2 pretty much suck now. The new album has been a failure and as you saw in Barcelona they don;t even put in an effort to play the old songs good. they are finished

  • The problem with more recent U2 is they started "Americanizing" their sound. Beautiful Day, Vertigo, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent... etc. They try to be more 'catchy', and not passionate like they used to be. Bands like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin never did that. U2 had a great sound in the 80's, and even recreated themselves in the 90's, but now they seem to be going with the flow, taking an easier way out. I agree with your thoughts on the album and this performance... just not good.

  • Just so you know Led Zep had stated, when they where reaching a peak, that they weren't interested for the British audience but for the american one, so before u get all judgy get your facts right! You cannot say the Zep weren't "americanized" ...and even if they were, what is the big deal about it, every band experiments, so do the U2, i say 'thumbs up' for trying something different!

  • You've completely misinterpreted the point. Obviously Zeppelin was gunning for American audiences or else they would not have toured in America as often as they did! I'm talking about their SOUND. You're right, every band experiments, but U2 in that case took a wrong turn in my opinion, because towards the latter part of the 90's they made their music more 'poppy', more techno-like... this therefore makes today's U2 more redundant. Zeppelin at least stayed themselves while experimenting.

  • horrible version of this classic song... probably first night of the tour nerves.

  • i love bono but he has to step it up with his singing 1st night of the tour is probally the problem he just doesnt seem in sync with the band

  • 22 años cantando este tema y no se acuerda la letra el hdp! jaja

  • a estas alturas del concierto.... esta cancion  era lo unico que nos faltaba para caer rendidos a los "pies" de U2 !!!

    Impresionante

  • why don't you come also on Greece? we wanna hear your songs too!!

  • Eh, tour opener is really like a dress rehearsal when you think about it. Band still has to get comfortable with the new stage and songs. It's their first time in front of a mass crowd in 4 years. This will sound 1000 times better in a month's time.

  • finally someone is getting it! ofc they are all going to be shaky, you have to remember they're almost 50. So I'd give them 2 or 3 weeks before you can start judging. besides, i find the crowd pretty bad.....

  • Earth to people...obviously this is just a big screw up....Bono's voice is fine, just this whole song got messed up - he probably would have liked to start all over...

  • Bono sounds worse than ever.

    Out of key and ouf time.

    And this is the very first show of the tour...

    I still can't get why does he try to sing it again and again when he's obviously unable to sing it no more.

    Maybe Edge should try.

  • Hate how Bono got so Lazy singing this song live!!!

  • he always sings this song this way live after 1987.

  • Agree with you

  • i know ever since Rattle and Hum he hasn't done it the "right" way, and I hate it!!

  • yeah, that's sad, cause i really love the song.

  • Zoo TV he did it differently, but still pretty well. Popmart he couldn't do it well because his voice had trouble, but so far in the the 21st century he hasn't done it right, except maybe Sao Paolo in 06', but other than that he hasn't really done it "right". Not only is their new album possibly my least favourite from them, but they fail to do one of their best songs the "right" way and probably only care about making sure their new stuff is "perfect".

  • I completely agree!!!

  • Yup! And Bono's voice just isn't the same... when he tries to sing high it is shaky.  I don't get how some of these new songs make it on the radio... the only song I liked from their new album is Cedars of Lebanon, and it's probably the least popular song from it.

  • He half sings it ever since

  • Bono sings so badly... oh my god...

  • Strange version!

  • ci vediamo l'8 luglio :D

  • Milano 8 Luglio, vi aspetto :))

  • Look forward to the second concert in Barcelona!!
