When their career is finally over, U2 will not only leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of rock, they'll leave behind one of the biggest footprints in the history of music. Their 'competition' isn't just rock legends like The Beatles, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones-- it's people like Mozart, Beethoven, Duke Ellington, and George Gershwin. Anyone who doesn't understand this needs to listen to U2's ENTIRE catalog, which rivals anyone's-- EVER.

I was at this gig , amazing night I will never forget , you have to listen to " out of control " from the same gig :-) and yes Bono had just lost his father , emotional stuff
i often think of 9/11 when i hear this song, maybe because i listened to it a lot afterwards....then i noticed this video was 10 days prior to the attack...rather stunning
@comfortably9numb Wow.... I have seen this video so often for a long time, but i never have noticed that fact. I had put this on my iPod and i love to walk though the cold air outside and looking for a sign.. Just walking. But actually, i don´t believe in god.
@Camillacc As I also have a brother, I can imagine how you feel right now... May he rest in peace. For the moment you have to walk on, Camilla. Best wishes.
Now, I don't know if there is any special occasion that happened in Ireland on this day, but for America, there is not a better song that could have been picked for such a sad day. God Bless those who were involved in ANY way w/ the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
@SaeJoke I'm so sorry for you, Sae. I wish you the best of lucks going through it, may she rest in peace now... See you mate. You're welcome, glad this beautiful music might help you a bit =,)
I never knew about this song. I have always loved U2. They are honestly the best band I have ever had the pleasure to see live. Bono has the most amazing voice and the older he gets, the more I love it.
this is a great song i just wish they could have played the full album version live. They can't probably because they never had a chance to work on it before the popmart tour since they were rushed to finish pop
Those two concerts at Slane, a week apart - because of the nature of our world then as Irish people and Bono's personal world of mourning his father - they are true classics of raw, poignant and ecstatic energy. Nothing was pretence in those two weeks. Bono was possessed in his grief (Wake Up, Kite and others) but also screamed defiance (Out of Control, Elevation, Bullet the Blue Sky etc). We offered him consolation as he gave us a mood the like of which we'll never see again. Exceptional time.
The body of Christ is within us, if we awaken to the moral tales; the tales of compassion for the poor, the ill, and the tales of justice against greed and corruption. Thanks Bono, Dave, Larry, and Adam for reawakening these values within my soul. Peace.
interesting choice of words... "musical god". I suppose it would be an accurate description if you believe in greek mythology. As I see it, Bono's lyrics and message point in the direction of God... but if you see Bono himself as "a god", Bono would consider himself a failure for inspiring that thought in you.
@zachsmit99 YA AND BY A FAIR BIT TOO. NOT AS COMMERCIAL OR POPULAR BUT MAYBE THEIR DARKEST AND MOST HONEST. ALTHOUGH, I CAN LIVE VERY COMFORTABLY WITHOUT MIAMI. PLEASE, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS NEAR PERFECT, ESPECIALLY LIVE.
For those who are arguiening about the filiming in one or two days...
It's recorded in TWO different nights, even though MOST of the footage is from September 1st 2001, second night. There are a fewe shots (Streets, SBS, mostly Until The End Of The World) where you can notice the footage from the first concert. In UTEOTW there are even daily images mixed with the night ones... :-P
@u2santos was there .. very moving gig .. i was there first nite .. his dad was only dead and buried a few days .. unbelievable they played that gig ... so many planets aligned to make what happened with this band .. its scary how good they are...
For me, this song completely, perfectly sums up how I have felt about God and my faith in the past. I went to church longing for a sermon that would help me understand my feelings, but nothing has ever defined them like this song has. Incredible.
So many believers haven't got the confidence to state their doubts about God being FOR them, yet all believers have them. Religious leaders are afraid that verbalizing their own doubts will give amplify the doubts of their people. Once again, art leads the way.
I think being there was all that mattered, not what gets the nod for a DVD.
First concert, Bono was in bits, he tried but he was all over the place emotionally - the crowd and the band willed him on. Wake up Dead man was particularly poignant.
Second concert was more celebratory - the football match - Bono had much more bounce in his step. Out of control set the agenda - frenzy. But he was still a man who had just lost a father. The two concerts were very much one unforgettable experience.
They are epic and extraordinary. Their songs hold more emotion, beauty and meaning than any others. Why waste your time with clangy indie bands or cloned girl groups that are here today and gone tomorrow when you can have this?????? Most people I know don't like U2 but I have never felt drawn to a band in the same way as I felt drawn to them. No one will ever touch them. Ever. They will be eternally epic.
I went to this concert, and all the songs were this way, perfect, the words just came out and the musci was part of the air, it was magic. As Magic as a girl that flew from NC to see a band she had never seen before in a place she had never been. Miracles happen, even in the land.. Wake up Dead Man...
was all taken on the night of the 1st sept. there was a first concert 7 days before but all the footage on the dvd is definatley from the 1st. I was at the show. recorded a few days after bono's father had passed away and the same day that ireland beat holland to make it to the football world cup
I can't think too clearly about what is beyond. Yesterday, I lost my mother, somehow this music, something of a catharsis here helps. I only pray that this is not all there is; this can't be for nothing.
This music help me alot years ago. It really touch my soul. I hope the same happens to you, and i also hope that makes you a better person since life is always trowing challenges to us all. Peace m8

Right on chrisluvmusic! Hey Grovies, when you despair in God, what do you have left to believe in? And if you don't believe in God, then you're in trouble. Suffering is part of this world, and it proves that there must be something better later on...
You may be right Grovies, we might be alone in this world.But we have to believe in something, call it God or what you like. Is it in us or outside us? Miracles do happen, encounters that should never have happened and love that you can't explain. Maybe it's right in front of us and we don't see it because we are blinded by the dazzling lights. But there is something, we have to believe. And the beauty of U2's music makes me believe that we aren't just alone in this 'fucked up world'.
I have loved U2 ever since I was a teenager (i.e. a long time ago) and I know I will never grow tired of them. Just listen to this song! God has not made this 'fucked up' world, we have. Love is what he has given us and U2 is such a great messenger.
Since humanity 'fucked up the world', it's obviously in the human nature to fuck things up. Who created all human beings? Guess again, it's God! And since the world is fucked up, why doesn't the obviously omnipotent God save us? Does he like to see us suffer?
It doesn't make any sense. If God is omnipotent, God is always negligent or a sadist. If God isn't omnipotent, then why the hell is he an invisible man murmuring to a billion people at the same time? Open your fucking eyes man.
he doesn't need to prove himself to us, blessed is he who believes without seeing or hearing. We screwed up this world when we rebelled against God and became independant of him before i turn this into a sermon i'll go but U2 keep up the great work!
he doesn't have to prove himself to us. blessed is he who believes without seeing or hearing. he has showen himself to us through Christ. he is the way the truth and the life. God didn't screw this world up we did when we rebelled against him. it's not in himan nature to screw things up, all that canme into the world when we chose evil over good. before i turn this into a sermon i'll go. Us keep up the good work
if a child disobays his parents he has to be punished so that he will learn to be obideiant, that's the same as with God we have to learn from the mistakes of others, and ourselves that's why there's so much evil, God didn't want people to be raped, killed etcall that came in when satan tempted Adam and Eve, so God isn't a bastard, like Hitler, Hitler just wanted to kill everyone, God wants everyone to be saved, but people just say all these things and turn away from him!
well the reason why we suffer is because if we didn't suffer then there would be no need for heaven cause we'd already be ther, God allows us to suffer so that we can depend on him and so that we can see just how big he is. He doesn't like to see us suffer, but the reward is more than what we could imagine when we stick by his side. he has showen himself to us through Christ, he is the way, the truth and the life. He's only invisible because we have to prove ourselves to him,
are you serious? ok, for you... people have debated for years that u2 sings about god, this song proves they do. ok tony soprano??? tough guy, lololol.
where did i say i was born again? you are a fucking retard, why did you bother even replying to my comment if you are gonna be a dick? if you didnt like my post the it wasnt meant for you. grow up little person
What is more, I suggest you to watch film "Decalogue" by Krzysztof Kieślowski. Maybe then you will understand what I mean. But if you not everything will be ok...
I see that you don't like my messages. I still wait for sb's answer... In my opinion about atheism I thought about the fact that many people (because not everyone - maybe you are this person) don't seach God, but they want to find Him. That's all. I searched God long time and found Him in other people. I don't know which way to find God is the best for you... Maybe doing sth what you never did (I mean for exaple talk with people who believe in God or what ever). I don't know. It depends on you.
I see that somebody doesn't agree with me. Please write your opinion on this subject because I don't know why somebody gave my message bad note. Please write why my opinion is wrong.
I lost my belive in god and religion long time ago, cause of my childhood with my father. But when i was lying on my bed, listening to this song, the strong lyrics and the great voice i just started thinking again. started believing again. Thanks so much for posting this video!
I interpret this as saying Jesus is currently dead and Bono is calling him out, as it were. Is that everyone else's take?
I know there is a book out about the 'faith' of U2 but I don't really see that this is what they espouse. They are more along the masonic brand of religion or Rosicrucian. Does anyone else think that, or am I just staring at the sun?
@CdEfGh1a -this song is based on jeremiah the prophet calling out a spiritually dead man and putting the hol alive spirit in him---look at the album all that you cant leave behind jer333 jeremiah chapter 33 verse 3
I always say this: We are too small to understand this existance. If God would be incredibly wise, how can we claim we understand him? I'm no christian myself, not anymore at least, simply because I don't feel anything. I hate seeing religion and admiring some God as a tradition rather then something sacred.
Still, wether they are right or wrong, I only try to understand when I'm under the stars or fascinated by a cup of water, I try minding the little things with the rest of my fylosophy.
beautiful song and beautiful version but that u said krobs151 alot of it is true.... religion is full of holes but not al religion dude... if u ask a priest about what happends after death he will just say that god wanted another angel in heaven.... thats ur bs man. but dude i hae tryed this and try it u too. ask the next time a jehovas witness knocks on ur door ask them what happends after death and they will tell u
Jesus isn't coming back...but if that makes you sleep better at night...religion is so flawed and so full of holes and such bs and small thinking for people...'The less you know, the more you believe' from Last Night on Earth, basically sums it all up
You won't be thinking that when you're judged for your sins, and everyone who had believed in jesus looks at you while you're being convicted. You live for what, 80 years? Eternity, is way longer. BTW you've been spoon fed the beliefs of Christianity, it's not as absurd as you believe. Look it up, there is a lot of proof to it all.
pity?dont pity me my friend...where i am only 8% o f the population are christian.there are alot of religious choices in this GIANT world and just because im not christian does make me a bad person,a sad person...and it does not make me a wrong person.i dont need pity...i need christians to be a bit more open minded.
to tell you the truth, I don't care whether you're buddhist, muslim, jewish, or anything. It's you who makes the decision. I'm just focusing on becoming a better christian, and trying to help others to find the light also. I feel satified by just telling you to change. There's nothing more I can do for you. You have to look it up for yourself. As far as I'm concerned I am really open minded, and so are a lot of other christians.
well...i dont know about that.i was raised chritian.i am now a buddhist but i dont go telling christians to convert to buddah.i understand your point.
If you want to know everything about God you will never believe in Him. Some people waist time thinking "Is there God or no?". You must see Him by heart, feel Him not think about Him or imagine Him because it's impossible! Our (human) mind is too small to know everything about God and understand Him. Religion relies on trust. But at first you should try to feel His presence. It's easy to find God if you have clear heart. I know it because I experienced it...
Ps. I think atheism and deism is one big hole in which people live in darkness, sadness, falsehood and hopelessness. Holes in religion are made by people, not by God. That's why we should concentrate on Him and love, not on religion as institution. Because everyone can make mistakes.
great song, but one needs to listen to whole song. Bono himself mentions how much Christianity is hopeless believing and this song is about how so much bad happens and God/Jesus isn't around.
Exactly my point...if God was really looking out for us, why are things always so bad and people's prayers go unanswered...ie Sago Miners...even Bono has major doubts about all the BS affiliated with religion
For me the song is more a hope for jesus to come back (wake up), once more, and set things right with mankind. The bad things that are happening right now is ALL about mankind -not God (whom has allready done his part for you and me. Its has been up to us now for quite a long time to follow his words...
Things are bad cuz people made it bad... Everyone has free will and caused it on themselves. God will make it better one day, soon, now that it's the most violent of times.
Things are bad cuz people made it bad... Everyone has free will and caused it on themselves. God will make it better one day, soon, now that it's the most violent of times.
You should know that sometimes people pray for something what is wrong on the long run but they don't know about it now. God listen prayers all the time but sometimes He can't do something what we want because it is not in His plan. Because He plans everything and all He wants is good for people. Sometimes we can't understand why we should go other way that we want, why we should go this more difficult way. But this more difficult way is the only way to God, way to know Him and understand Him.
Maybe you just can't find Him in human live on the Earth. Because I can see Him. I see Him everyday. It's not easy but if you try... And what's more, I think you should be quite inteligent to know that not everything what say Bono is perfect, great and smart.
God can't do everything instead of you. That's why sometimes we think that He looks at us from distance. But in fact He is closer to a man than other people. Maybe you should start search Him in ordinary life, in other man or in nature.

I can't think too clearly about what is beyond. Yesterday, I lost my mother, somehow this music, something of a catharsis here helps. I only pray that this is not all there is; this can't be for nothing.

Right on chrisluvmusic! Hey Grovies, when you despair in God, what do you have left to believe in? And if you don't believe in God, then you're in trouble. Suffering is part of this world, and it proves that there must be something better later on...

You may be right Grovies, we might be alone in this world.But we have to believe in something, call it God or what you like. Is it in us or outside us? Miracles do happen, encounters that should never have happened and love that you can't explain. Maybe it's right in front of us and we don't see it because we are blinded by the dazzling lights. But there is something, we have to believe. And the beauty of U2's music makes me believe that we aren't just alone in this 'fucked up world'.
chrisluvmusic 3 years ago 2
I have loved U2 ever since I was a teenager (i.e. a long time ago) and I know I will never grow tired of them. Just listen to this song! God has not made this 'fucked up' world, we have. Love is what he has given us and U2 is such a great messenger.
chrisluvmusic 3 years ago 6
Since humanity 'fucked up the world', it's obviously in the human nature to fuck things up. Who created all human beings? Guess again, it's God! And since the world is fucked up, why doesn't the obviously omnipotent God save us? Does he like to see us suffer?
It doesn't make any sense. If God is omnipotent, God is always negligent or a sadist. If God isn't omnipotent, then why the hell is he an invisible man murmuring to a billion people at the same time? Open your fucking eyes man.

he doesn't need to prove himself to us, blessed is he who believes without seeing or hearing. We screwed up this world when we rebelled against God and became independant of him before i turn this into a sermon i'll go but U2 keep up the great work!

he doesn't have to prove himself to us. blessed is he who believes without seeing or hearing. he has showen himself to us through Christ. he is the way the truth and the life. God didn't screw this world up we did when we rebelled against him. it's not in himan nature to screw things up, all that canme into the world when we chose evil over good. before i turn this into a sermon i'll go. Us keep up the good work
healthenations 3 years ago 2
it's not about proving himself to us you deepshit, it's about people not being killed, and raped every fucking day.
so people are just supposed to suffer because somebody rebelled against god? if that's it then fuck god, he's an asshole just like hitler.

if a child disobays his parents he has to be punished so that he will learn to be obideiant, that's the same as with God we have to learn from the mistakes of others, and ourselves that's why there's so much evil, God didn't want people to be raped, killed etcall that came in when satan tempted Adam and Eve, so God isn't a bastard, like Hitler, Hitler just wanted to kill everyone, God wants everyone to be saved, but people just say all these things and turn away from him!
healthenations 3 years ago
well the reason why we suffer is because if we didn't suffer then there would be no need for heaven cause we'd already be ther, God allows us to suffer so that we can depend on him and so that we can see just how big he is. He doesn't like to see us suffer, but the reward is more than what we could imagine when we stick by his side. he has showen himself to us through Christ, he is the way, the truth and the life. He's only invisible because we have to prove ourselves to him,

I see that you don't like my messages. I still wait for sb's answer... In my opinion about atheism I thought about the fact that many people (because not everyone - maybe you are this person) don't seach God, but they want to find Him. That's all. I searched God long time and found Him in other people. I don't know which way to find God is the best for you... Maybe doing sth what you never did (I mean for exaple talk with people who believe in God or what ever). I don't know. It depends on you.

I interpret this as saying Jesus is currently dead and Bono is calling him out, as it were. Is that everyone else's take?
I know there is a book out about the 'faith' of U2 but I don't really see that this is what they espouse. They are more along the masonic brand of religion or Rosicrucian. Does anyone else think that, or am I just staring at the sun?

I always say this: We are too small to understand this existance. If God would be incredibly wise, how can we claim we understand him? I'm no christian myself, not anymore at least, simply because I don't feel anything. I hate seeing religion and admiring some God as a tradition rather then something sacred.
Still, wether they are right or wrong, I only try to understand when I'm under the stars or fascinated by a cup of water, I try minding the little things with the rest of my fylosophy.

You won't be thinking that when you're judged for your sins, and everyone who had believed in jesus looks at you while you're being convicted. You live for what, 80 years? Eternity, is way longer. BTW you've been spoon fed the beliefs of Christianity, it's not as absurd as you believe. Look it up, there is a lot of proof to it all.

servo1056 3 years ago
to tell you the truth, I don't care whether you're buddhist, muslim, jewish, or anything. It's you who makes the decision. I'm just focusing on becoming a better christian, and trying to help others to find the light also. I feel satified by just telling you to change. There's nothing more I can do for you. You have to look it up for yourself. As far as I'm concerned I am really open minded, and so are a lot of other christians.
atruelover123 3 years ago
well...i dont know about that.i was raised chritian.i am now a buddhist but i dont go telling christians to convert to buddah.i understand your point.
servo1056 3 years ago
If you want to know everything about God you will never believe in Him. Some people waist time thinking "Is there God or no?". You must see Him by heart, feel Him not think about Him or imagine Him because it's impossible! Our (human) mind is too small to know everything about God and understand Him. Religion relies on trust. But at first you should try to feel His presence. It's easy to find God if you have clear heart. I know it because I experienced it...
jfdkrli89 3 years ago
Ps. I think atheism and deism is one big hole in which people live in darkness, sadness, falsehood and hopelessness. Holes in religion are made by people, not by God. That's why we should concentrate on Him and love, not on religion as institution. Because everyone can make mistakes.

great song, but one needs to listen to whole song. Bono himself mentions how much Christianity is hopeless believing and this song is about how so much bad happens and God/Jesus isn't around.
krobs151 4 years ago
So why does bono sing "i know you are looking out for us"? Awesome song by the way...
newfounders 4 years ago
Exactly my point...if God was really looking out for us, why are things always so bad and people's prayers go unanswered...ie Sago Miners...even Bono has major doubts about all the BS affiliated with religion
krobs151 4 years ago
For me the song is more a hope for jesus to come back (wake up), once more, and set things right with mankind. The bad things that are happening right now is ALL about mankind -not God (whom has allready done his part for you and me. Its has been up to us now for quite a long time to follow his words...

Things are bad cuz people made it bad... Everyone has free will and caused it on themselves. God will make it better one day, soon, now that it's the most violent of times.

You should know that sometimes people pray for something what is wrong on the long run but they don't know about it now. God listen prayers all the time but sometimes He can't do something what we want because it is not in His plan. Because He plans everything and all He wants is good for people. Sometimes we can't understand why we should go other way that we want, why we should go this more difficult way. But this more difficult way is the only way to God, way to know Him and understand Him.
jfdkrli89 3 years ago 2
Maybe you just can't find Him in human live on the Earth. Because I can see Him. I see Him everyday. It's not easy but if you try... And what's more, I think you should be quite inteligent to know that not everything what say Bono is perfect, great and smart.
God can't do everything instead of you. That's why sometimes we think that He looks at us from distance. But in fact He is closer to a man than other people. Maybe you should start search Him in ordinary life, in other man or in nature.
