U2 Until the end of the world live 1997 New York

[AltRockAddict]

@pasqualebonovox  Hell Yeah!

[MrSchincaglia]

Actung Baby the very best album of U2.

[jendrix56]

Los putos amos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Niesha18C]

Bono's bad ass!! He flicked off the crowed and he played with his junk :P!! Like he's super sexy in this!!

[1990kopkid]

Popmart.. the worst U2 Period.. i suppose it was hard to live up to the ZooTv period before it

[AltRockAddict]

Hot PopMart Bono <3

@nicos2597: Are you absolutely insane?

Sure, I agree, the first part up to the solo..Bono's singing is a bit "different" and not too fitting with the usual live song, but Edge's solo is MAGNIFICENT, -I am saying this as a U2 & Edge fan,but also as a Gibson Les Paul guitarist- the outro is absolutely stunning,with GREAT vocals from Bono with bits from the Doors,Larry going beserk at his drumkit and the Edge pounds out a truly heavenly boombastic drone from his vintage Gibson LP Custom Shop.

[Nicos2597]

i like adam's hat

[Nicos2597]

the worst concert and version of until the end of the world EVER

[Nicos2597]

@kindaedgy Dude i love U2 and i think that edges solo at this song is the best on U2 songs i'm a huge edge fan too but what i want to say is that this version was absolutely the worst they ever playe.but i never said that i dont like U2 and the solo....also what makes it even worse is the crowd....

[kindaedgy]

@Nicos2597 Ok mate, than this is a difference of opinion,that's all!Cheers and sorry,I did not mean to offend you! But the crowd is horrible, you are absolutely right about that. However, I still DO NOT agree that this is the worst perfomance of this amazing song. Sure, Bono's singing in the first part up to Edge's solo is not his best, but afterwards he makes up for that with an intense (improvised) snippet from The Doors and the Edge's Les Paul sounds like angels to me. But,..opinions differ.

[miracledrug5150]

is this the retarded u2 ?

[jeanfulx]

The Edge is crazy!! :D

[hartje1998]

It's a disaster compared with slane castle, Bono, Edge and Crowd sucks

[SocialStatusUK]

ahh the edge is a ledge.

we've done a semi-acousticy cover of One, please click on our channel name below to watch it - we're only young so need pointers! :)

[never4everuk]

I think bono looks rough in this one!

[andrewthedj8]

@never4everuk ...i think hes just mad he has to use a wired mic. hahahaha

[never4everuk]

@andrewthedj8 This is one of my fave U2 tracks and I love it when they do it live but this was defo a lack lustre performance and i get that Bono had to be wired up and he couldn't connect with the crowd which he loves to do, thanks for the reply

[potsy540]

U2 is my favorite band, but damn Bono looked like such an idiot in the this period. Mcfeisto was his best stage persona in the 90's because it was purposely over the top. He is 1000 times better with the serious, mature persona of the 80's than this stupid sold-out crotch grabbin shit.

[never4everuk]

my fave u2 song !

[tvdownloads]

Well it was the popmart era, Bono was probably knee deep in an MDMA comedown, can't blame him ;)

[fastfoodclowns]

You blow: Bono Sux

[JustaU2Fan]

Bono Looks Stupid in here. And bono Looks indeed Bored. Makes the Song not good as how it is. I Like the Version of 2001 Much better, Slane Castle and Boston! 360 Tour may be there as well. Bono coolest look was in 1999-2001 i must say. But in 2010 He looks cool aswell. Still a good song.

[chevycf15]

the crowd is so dead, that bon says "this is awkward" at the very end haha

[cashlezz]

I think Bono was bored here.... I would be too....the stage and crowd sucks....

[adictk]

I like the clothes of bono here

[LoLzZ85]

don't get the complaints about the crowd. they seem to be well into it for a non U2 show

[nandofrm]

4 justin biebers

[MultiSilversky]

great u2!!! love from Italy. silver sky rock band

[EpiLPstandard]

That stage sucks in the terms of a U2 gig. They are simply too high and far away from the audience. The audience looks like majority doesn't quite get the song's message and music although the performance is just perfect.

[youanselmotube]

U2 are the best....great song

[AndreDarkAngel]

USA crowd always sucks. Spoiled.

[desolationrow5150]

@AndreDarkAngel Spoiled is being able to talk out your ass without penalties. I'm sure somewhere down the line you've enjoyed what the USA puts in your mouth. Swallow little man. U2 LOVES THE USA!!!

[kesstuveu]

U are right, gezzburnz...we can see Bono doesn't give all he would like too...and the crowd is parked like cattle...America Afraid of freedom ?

[desolationrow5150]

@kesstuveu That's about the stupidest thing I've read next to the idiot andredarkangel who obviously is you leader.

[gezburnz]

not a typical u2 stage set-up, and this shows a bit. the crowd are too far away from the stage and although the band are kicking ass and working it hard the crowd are half asleep-(typical yanks though)!! bono needs to be a lot more closer to the "action" as in more recent u2 shows. this period of u2 is very much under-rated, it was a very experimental time for them and personally i think the album "pop" and the subsequent tour were the dogz bawz!! ( totally amazing).

usa didnt get it though:(

[espinozafn]

@gezburnz Im from the U.S.A. I got it. I was mad at the skeptics. Saw U@ in this period at the Coliseum in 1998 for the POP Mart Tour. Loved them

[limbo628]

Really brilliant lyrics. I see the crowd are just observing their proper decorum haha!

[ALBERT3076]

listen to the guitar: taratara, taratara,.....ahh

[JoyC666]

The crowd is like a mile away from the stage....

[terrasidius]

that was awesome! shows they can play that kind of stage aswell. i loved the snippet of the doors at the end! i think the crowd was digging it, def.

[santiago2u]

Now I see that stages with not catwalk are not enough for Bono to move the crowd...people seem dead-despite this bom-blast-rock-music

[bete22izzy]

@santiago2u Bono is natural communicator that's why he needs the crowd near him.

:)

[suitbluesky]

OMG

Bono is so fucking sexy

[Nightsurf59]

I swear, few people can make a Les Paul sound as good as the EDGE does.....

[rocksdiamonds]

ROCK AND ROLL!!

[russell7771181]

oh wow - really love this - there's no denying the power - also at the end - doors lyric - 'break on through'!

[alternatereality85]

Is this rock and roll? Damn right it is!! I would be quite happy to rock out on that coda until the end of time.

[Tecnofireman]

freee tibet ||*||

[laboloche]

The crowd sucks...are they sleeping like always in states??

[michaeltgrace]

Short answer "Yes with an If", Long answer "No, with a but"

[aluapmt]

Pretty much! The first time that i went to a concert here in USA and see how people behave, i was so frustrated!

[ash1381]

@laboloche HAHAHAHA!!!

[ash1381]

@laboloche YEAH always sleeping in the states so fucking boring even in a Metallica Concert, even Woodstock for god´s sake

[7franny7]

@laboloche ther elike a loud of zombie. 'yehhhoooo..... bonoooooo. mehhhhhh zzzzzzzzz'

[ChicagoIrishman]

@laboloche THEY AREN'T ASLEEP LAD...its the brilliance of the movie, brilliance and de fookin' band in their face. Seriously, this song is their apex. Go Kerry, Mayo and Meath!

[yomathu]

LOOOL. 2:28. i think thats bono's default move. otherwise known as the "I Will Follow" act. i love it.hahah

[evilknivel84]

they were just so fucking cool in the 90s... is miss that a lot! but "no line..." is a great record, too...

[JiffySpook]

It's great to see them in this era all stripped down (as Tom Waits would say) and STILL kicking some serious ass.

[henrijoel]

Oh my God, what happened here, this end is SO GREAT!!!

[BlueberrySwede]

This song has always worked extremely well live..just gotta love that climatic final...Bono actually reminds me of Jim Morrison towards the end of this clip..Awesome!

[frostflow]

his taste is shades was way better back then

[yomathu]

he's getting old, man, give him a break. no need to compare a man to his prime when he's past it, thats just cruel. especially when its a charmingly overconfident bloke like bono

[frostflow]

i know what you mean..

just think something happen to him after these 97 years that really messed up his perspective on his shit.

I gotta show more love but I'm just being honest.

[yomathu]

na, you know, i think he's just- again- grown up, & reached anther level in his life, wher politcs & worldly events & strong opinions of specific things have become as important to him as his music. he's prioritizing differently, as do we all. nd honestly, i think its admirable that despite "growing up" and becoming so ridiculously socially responsible (regardless of if u agree w/ their specifics or not), they can still make quality music. different, and not always to EVERY1s taste- but QUALITY

[azukikiti]

guitarra de dioses

[rocksuena]

YEAHHH FOCK

U2 IS THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD THE TOUR ZOO TV 92 and 93

is the best tour

[spacehopperballs]

@rocksuena ditto

[doomeddodo]

LOVE 'EM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GayFoxxx]

um diese uhrzeit schlafe ich noch - adam kommt grad von ner safari ?

[blueeyesm2]

fu*%ing awesome

[buzzkill27]

I was there Randall's Island in Nrew York City....I was pissed because our group came in during the middle of U2's set...they went on so early and they had just played 3 out of the last 4 nights at Giants Stadium in New Jersey...so I think they were pretty tired

[JDBONA]

wake up China!

free Tibet!

human rights now!

[sally55510]

great performance, and Edge totally blew me away

[zoostyle]

Bono in his prime!

[ishhod]

The Fly era was his prime. Awesome nonetheless :)

[jpjames1]

80s Bono is prime

[rodrigoeulalio22]

sem duvidas a MELHOR BANDA DE ROCK DO MUNDO!...

JHOEL P. MORAES

[azalee133]

Love it until the end of the wold

[corleonex]

fucking great!!!, the edge and larry were the best in this performance

[allth3s4me]

wtf? anyone who understands about sound engineering would disagree. the bigger the size of the venue, the bigger problems, harder to manage sound etc... smaller places like this. they still sound good, except on this one- they look kind of tired. bigger venues and U2... you'd like the whole energy there... so do I...but they sound good wherever they are.

[1gakk1]

Wow, I really love the ending. The Edge is on fire! ;)

[4711shaun]

as a HUGE U2 fan.. i agree with many of the comments here that this just isn't working.. they need big light shows.. mega stadium sound and production standards to pull this off.. stripped down they don't sound good.. . if this was a cover band they would be getting slammed for a lack lustre wannabe performance.. Bono looks (and sounds) like he doesn't want to be there for the first 3 minutes..they do pick it up at the end though..

[shotkider]

I think bono,s pissed

[hildaelviachapa]

So fucking great, I love U2,,,

[lahevmlika]

Can somebody rewrite the snippet of Break on through as it Bono exactly sings? I'm not a native born speaker... Many thanks!

[crushedguy]

looks like bono is playing pocket pool at 3:18 lmao.

[Vlaco84]

Disagree very much with your opinion leewelshy. Especially that final snippet is really great.

[Zakdayak]

I agree with leewelshy-the basic fact is that U2 needs Cape Canaveral soud, a HUGE arena to sound good, medium size space like this with less electronics, they sound kind of bad.

[grantsmorales]

pareciera q el publico no sabe que u2 es el mejor grupo del planeta

[grantsmorales]

la bateria de larry suena espectacular

[amozartii]

I dig that hat Adam is wearing..classic!!

[crushedguy]

adam seems to always dress the best eh.

[leewelshy]

Bono looks and sounds very out of place, not the best!! Coincidence when money isn't involved he gives an below average performance !!

[buzzkill27]

Love this version...thanks Axblack ....I was just walking in to the stadium when they were finishing this up...they went on so early that day

[mattshine1]

"MY SORROW's LEARNED HOW TO SWIM!!!

[jfdkrli89]

[0:19 - 0:25]: 'Aha aha aha, aha aha aha aha'... What's this??? In my opinion it sounds quite stupid and it's one of the worst versions of this song at all. :(

[VoxJovi1123]

AWESOME!! Edge was seriously on a roll. Thanks for the vid!

[nudger08]

fucking rocking tune

[jddrock]

After all these years, I still dig this band!

[suitbluesky]

pobre bono, el tratando de animar al public...

siento verguenza ajena

asi y todo el es todo un profesional

[suitbluesky]

por dios!!

esta gente no tiene sangre en las venas???

ES U2!!!

ahora entiendo porque u23 esta hecho en Latinoamerica ;)

[colscols]

Ananaki gods.

[hiwaymanx]

This is when he started losing his hair, thus the awful haircut.

[tommywm24]

Do you mean The Edge or Bono, because up until recently Bono had long hair!

[bonecakabukidoll]

històrico! gracias por postar el vìdeo!

happy new year!

[buzzkill27]

I was at this concert at Randall's Island in New York City..the site was an old soccer stadium that has been recently overhauled and is now called Icahn Stadium...anyways U2 played this short set after having played three straight sold out concerts in 4 nights at Giants Stadium in New Jersey about 15 miles from this place

[splorenzo]

The best, the best, the best!!

[gunfercan]

the year which bono decided 2 make some difference on his music to pop...no comment, inspite of tihs unnecessary searching..i like it

[ROBZOMBIEbr]

bono ta playboy ae.. rsrs

[bigfraz23]

love this many thanks m8, so good to see one of my favourite songs in full daylight, i have done a version of Love is blindness if anyone would care to hear it, god bless

[cbono69]

Axblack you have vision like u2 and i wanna thank you for making my night and day better..You see the u2 as family and home and we all love it...God bless..cbono69

[ToulacAxeHand]

I like the t shirt and simple trousers look.

[splorenzo]

me too!

[DhampirVK]

Awesome!! The final snippet is great

[jesubono]

Wow, what a live version!

[bluespower]

kooool

[zooropa1967]

Axblack is the hardest working, dedicated U2 fan I know of lol :) thanks Ax for the videos :)

[axblack]
