[Take0you0Down]

[Netlocd]

Haha, The Edge messed up! 4:23 - 4:27

Funny.

[ronsworld250]

Wow, thanks for posting. I was at this show and it brings back some good memories.

@jesuslove110

They're the most popular band to sing of the troubles by far, but sure listen to irish folk music in general, christy moore for example, the music is littered with history..

[MMSMikey]

we can be as one tonight

[Niesha18C]

Is there anyone in the crowed?? where's the people!

[TheFly212]

[Durbot999]

What a great song. It really encapsulates the frustration of a Sunday, doesn't it? You wake up in the morning, you've got to read all the Sunday papers, the kids are running round, you've got to mow the lawn, wash the car, and you think "Sunday, bloody Sunday!".

[NsLx123]

@Durbot999 its not that it was about northern ireland troubles in derry and belfast im from derry

[MrNealR]

@Durbot999

You really need some history classes dude !

[EcoFascist]

Damn that guy can sing

[Wadnor1]

as soon as the drums start my hair stands on end, go to be one of the best live songs ever

[opirlouit]

Great version!

[TheWanderer811]

[shocklinboss]

[CatorsCinema]

Watch Irish Films On my channel i say this not for Views but to Spread Irish Culture.

[robertk2007]

zoo tv tour U2 didnt want to take things so seriously like they had in the 80's. bono has said this tour was kind of making fun of the U2 in the 80's.

[wigletzard]

I was at this show. Great night. Went both nights that year. Not as fun as seeing them in Koln, Germany in 1986 but a great night.

[MitchGettman]

I'm a HUGE U2 fan and Sunday Bloody Sunday is not at all one of my favorite U2 songs, probably just because of hearing it too many times, but the Zoo TV tour was probably my favorite tour of all time from any band and because of that and the fact that they rarley played it durring that tour this video has really increased my interest in the song. This was an incredible performance. However I just remembered that I used to really like the version from Rattle and Hum.

[clmsntigr113]

This song is really one of the best rock songs of all time. The guitar work is just awesome and the whole song just kicks butt!

[anacrobat89]

Sunday Bloody Sunday was only played a few times during this entire tour (Zoo TV/Zooropa) in 1992-1993. This video captures one of the few times it was played.

[PR0G4M3RING4M3S]

fuck you

[u2ZOOTV2]

Snarare för dem med extremskånsk brytning

[WayneSuomi]

Yeah!

[HarryPotterPower]

who doesnt love this song?

[cshgeo]

BLOODY SUNDAY = HATE IS UGLY. True then & now: from sept.11, Iraq, Israel, and the great sum of human history - from the pharaohs to HITLER. Stop this shit, for religion must to be separate from the state, as Jesus said. Matthew 5:43-44 (love - simple?), 1 John 3:10-12 (murder is not love), and John 17:16 (faith not meant for policial gain). BEING A HUMAN should come before nationalism or 'said' religious zeal.

[DarkRising12]

3:08 Bono says whipe ur jizz away >:) I like their music U2 !!!

[javiercristian06]

fucking amazing

[kroelhaantje]

No more No war !!!!

This is not a war song

This was and still is, a cry for peace.

[stefanieashlee]

This song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it. Amazing musiQ.

[hildaelviachapa]

U2 I love U !!are too nice ,,Good bless you always!!!! SO GREAT!!!!!!

[bb6f44]

Was this at RFK Stadium?

[ronsworld250]

Yes, this was at RFK. I attended this show. The concert was excellent. Damn, I met my future then ex-wife at this show, too.

[amozartii]

Cool to see them get away from that Zoo TV for a moment then and do this CLASSIC KICK ASS WAR SONG!!

[jpjames1]

They are on it in this show best i think i ever heard Bono sing. Where can i get the full show??

[jijouebenisterie]

You can found it on emule, ZOOTV live from DC, great videoshow.

[u2MRtheFLY]

is edge using delay in this version? because i know for the WAR album he really didn't use any delay, but I know this is obviously the Zoo TV Tour, what do you guys think?

[lukaU2]

no more no war

[Guarddog7877]

this has got to be the loudest, therefore best, version of this song ever.

[ninelivecat]

There was a bloody Sunday in Dublin in 1920 also I think the lyrics could be open to interpretation

[Franckdatankpart2]

Larry!! what happened? haha, still the best drummer ever.

[lennwod]

what u mean?

[Franckdatankpart2]

At 4:24 where they start up again, Larry didnt come in at the right time, its a difficult part. Larry rox!

[vicvega12]

I am probably the biggest U2 fans you can ever meet, and I play the drums to pretty much every U2 song. That was not Larry's fault, Edge has to wait for him to start playing first.

[Vinc90]

true, it was edges fault. Love hi singin in the end anyway!

[Vlaco84]

AmericanFenian....you're an idiot.....

[AmericanFenian]

U2 sucks balls they care more about Darfur and whales then they do their own people.

[Guarddog7877]

how terrible, they want to help poor starving people and not ordinary, well-fed people.

[AmericanFenian]

Yeah the Catholic in the occupied north of Ireland have lived so well. And it's not that bad that the british have occupied Ireland for over the last 800 yrs. killing millions in an 800 yr long genocide. The Irish haven't always ate that well not to mention the execution of Catholics and Republicans at the hands the Brit military and loyalist gangs.

[Guarddog7877]

sure it may be bad, i sympathize with ur position, but modern ireland is nowhere near as bad as modern day africa and they need U2's help a lot more than ireland, so dont go insulting a group of good human beings who are simply trying to help ppl who r actually quite similar to the ppl of ireland back in the worst period of the british rule.

[mercougar]

aufwiederzehn shizekopf!!!!!! fick du!!!!!!

[AmericanFenian]

sorry all I get out of aufwiederzehn shizekopf! fick du! if the fuck you part. aufwiederzehn shizekopf???

[mercougar]

good bye shithead.

[AmericanFenian]

Yer the fag with Dr. Phil shit on his page. Watch any operah 2?

[Vernbernau]

nice little mistake in between 4:22 to 4:24

[smiley1two]

I LOVE this song...however...on the guitar it doesn't require that much talent to play it...hmm...

[lennwod]

go away

[sparkyoung]

i think they were just out to cause mayhem i for one am glad the IRA are a spent force

[Harmonstown]

U2 is a big band on the earth !!!! Sunday bloody sunday hey hey !!

[ollessendro]

........

No one on the loylalist side has been able to adequately explain innocence of the soldiers on that day, even the most Stalwart of Red hand men such as Paisley. In fact I think even Hugh Hanna could not have given an explanation?!

Im British, so I can't be accused of being an IRA supporter/sympathiser.

There seems to be a lot of hot air spouting on thsi website ..... or perhaps it's a few pedantic w*****s trying to stir the pot?!

[ollessendro]

The people fired up on were innocent.

People involved (very justifably, by the way catholics were being treated in Northern Ireland at the time) in a civil rights protest.

The British troops were experienced and should not have opened fire. They fired semi automatic weapons into a crowd of unarmed people.

No matter how panic or scared (which im dubious they were) they should not have done that. Even if Mcguiness and crew were throwing bottles and stones.

[thekingofpainforever]

They were Less Lethal munitions.That means they can still kill. Severael protesters were shot in the back running away.

[jeffsicile]

search "Sturman on the Loop" and watch my friend doing his version of Sunday, Bloody Sunday using a loop pedal. Thanks!

[LucindaLC]

Hey, I was at this show! Always amazing. I saw 3 U2 shows in 6 days in 1992.

[U2387]

And another thing, this version is features many EXCELLENT displays of Larry's drumming ability in terms of speed and accuracy!

[imtyrone]

Course. It's the problem in Ireland. The Elenskillen bombing, about the people who were killed that sunday...

[U2387]

Eniskillen, equally as horrible is not the inspiration for this song, its as mrgreyshadow said, the 14 innocents killed in Derry! Bono used this song to comment on the 1987 Eniskillen rememberance day bombing on rattle and hum... this was to show both sides.. British occupiers and IRA were equally wrong and immoral. British need to leave but violence in place of violence accomplishes nothing in MOST circumstances, not all, though!(WW II, etc)

[livedetihweht]

Just curious if anyone knows what this song symbolizes? im sure some of us older crowd do im just interested in seeing how many young irish decendents really know?

[mrgreyshadow]

It's about the killings in Derry, Northern Ireland in '72. British paratroopers armed with live ammunition opened fire on a crowd during a peaceful protest. The British didn't belong there anyway.

[livedetihweht]

AMEN

[adrianbarratt]

hardly apeacefull protest as it included petrol bombs and bottles. The trouble in those days the paras wernt trained to street fight and they panicked .

[mrgreyshadow]

Who had petrol bottles? The way I heard (as it is on the gravestone) the police fired on innocents who weren't fighting back during a peaceful protest for civil rights. The paratroopers should have just been using rubber bullets or other nonlethal weapons if it got out of hand.

[adrianbarratt]

what like they do in Iraq, you cant sit behind a monitor and criticize what people do when they are frightened and under attack, there wasnt any friendly anything back in 72 and the army didnt understand street fighting

[cnockycv]

kill them all pity the paras ran out of bullets

[linuxguy999]

32? Yeah right!

[hugoegbert79]

Excuse me?

[U2387]

NO NO and more NO! I am far from an IRA supporter, but these particular people who were fired on were peaceful(as greyshadow mentioned) think Fr.Daley and the white flag... the petrol bombs and bottles u speak of were being used in an IRA rally about 3 blocks away! These 14 were INNOCENT!

[RobVox]

Fantastic!

[pacmule]

This kicks ass, but why did Edge have to always wear pink during the ZooTV Tour lol

[u2ZOOTV]

you mean purple?

[hottunes007]

love the boots

[frankdefoot]

washington is highlight of ZooTV tour

[fIagg]

yeah i agree, its too bad they released Sydney instead of Washinton.

[tostaky69]

somptueuse version...

ma chanson preferée...

[jpjames1]

Its like Zoo tv with Joshua tree vibe

[jpjames1]

i love this Washington show

[braxx12]

it was good to see u2 sing this song during the zoo tv era when they really did not play it often at that time

[mybeano]

This is great.. Edge's foot stomping!! hA !!! YEAH@!
