  • Cool video and one of their best performances ever!!!!

  • People of the internet, I honestly present to you, real music.

  • In memory of MLK, an early U2 Pride.

  • haha, in 1984 Bono could pull off having a hair cut like this....but no more :p Songs great though!

  • 1:47 Bono thought there were High Resolution HD cameras during that period.

  • This is the ONLY performance where The Edge wasn't wearing a beanie. Haha.

  • I love this song.. too bad i couldnt see it then. taken i was born in 1991... but hey, tye produced an awesome cd 3 months after my birth.. so hey. It was good for something.

  • VER A BONO EN ESTOS TIEMPOS PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y VER QUE SIGUEN TAN VIGENTES COMO SIEMPRE PORQUE CARAJO ESTO ES MÚSICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • En 1,984 ! Metallica estaba naciendo! mientras U2 ya estaba reinando!

  • Best "U2" song! wow! amazing!

  • you young'uns may have no context-- Bono [Vox] performed this a mere 16 years after MLK's murder-- this is a political song act of the highest order-- Ghandi wasn't assasinated, brother Martin was.

  • @androydnyc, Please try harder and post fact and not opinion or watch the movie Gandhi.

    Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (often called Mahatma Gandhi) was assassinated on 30 January 1948, shot at point-blank range by Nathuram Godse.

    Since 1934, there had been five unsuccessful attempts to kill Gandhi. Gandhi was outside on the steps of a building where a prayer meeting was going to take place. He was surrounded by a part of his family and some followers when three gunshots killed him.

  • @MrHoolits i stand corrected-- sad statement on the education system in the west-- apologies.

    regardless, anyone want to to take exception to my thesis in re the politics of this piece?

  • Comment removed

  • @androydnyc Ghandi was assassinated you utter fool.

  • Una de sus mejores canciones de lo mejor

  • Robin sjöng ju den bra!!!!!!!!!!! Hatar Alexander Bard!!!!!! Han är ju en b*g

  • @FestHosMangeMakers Nej han sjöng den inte bra. Sjung texten fel dessutom och låten var för kort.

  • @Martinski60 Jo han är ju bät i Idol. Men håller med lite med att den var för kort

  • I love this..

    in the name of love, one heart in the name of love, in the name of love, one heart in the name of love, with the name of Love, one heart with the name of Love..I Love you Bono, I love U2

  • @susanpresley01 it's '' what more in the name of love''

  • It sounds exactly the same live. U2 is nuts.

  • rip martin luther king

  • omg im 21 and i listen to u2. i wish more people my age would listen to them.

    LOL. what's up with those comments on every u2 video I see? "i'm this age and i wish more people at this age would listen to U2!"

    Who cares? if you like it, good on ya!

  • IN THE NAME OF LOVE IN THE NAME OF LOVE

  • @glenclosed Glen is a WANKER

  • 13 and saw U2 kickass in minneapolis on 360

  • Didn't know Bono was from Kentucky. Nice mullet!

  • I sometimes wonder why most "X% of people today are into ugy pop"-type comments give 95 for "X", rarely else ... Very creative artists' fans repeat after unknown YouTube users? Yet they offend everybody else ...

  • I'm 14. I know exactly three people who enjoy U2 and are close to my age. Go BenderPictures!

  • me too!

  • YOU ARE GOING DOWN TODAY THAT IS A PROMISE THAT I WILL KEEP.

    I WAS RE-BORN TODAY, SO COME ON DOWN AND "MAKE MY DAY"

  • MLK!!!!!!! AMERICA!!!!!!

    ~proud to be half irish descent.

    I saw Hollywood U2 the other night, this was soo siick!

  • i saw them LIVE in Oakland during their 360 tour THIS YEAR!!!(2011)

  • the funny thing is this 1.5M views performance isnt really RARE anymore lol

  • U2 was at their best in Bono's mullet days.

  • To all of you who were wondering, Bono wasn't having a bad hair day... he was having a bad hair LIFE!

  • 41 people have pride in the name of stupidity.

  • S.E.N.S.A.T.I.O.N.E.L.L. This is the Boombastic Music. Big Point

  • Nice mullet bono

  • Si Eres Ochentero Síguenos En Face Como "vidaochentera"

  • The Greatest Music of All Time

  • The Edge = Master of Delay effect.

  • Intemporal.

  • This is so awesome! I love this...please check out my version :)

  • My favorite thing about this band is i can never tell what year each song came out because they're all timeless

  • This is what music and art is all about.

  • he was brilliant back then!

  • one more replay of this song In the name of love!!! :D

  • Absolutely brilliant!

  • Jesus Christ, Bono is one of the luckiest men ever. One of the greatest singing voices I've ever heard, period. And he's an excellent showman and songwriter to boot.

    I envy this man.

  • @jerzy862 ........he needs auto-tune

  • Nothing but BEAUTY IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. Bono the Master!!

  • Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey! :D

    da.....da......da....IN THE NAME OF LOVE!

  • Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey! :D

  • Love, love, love this song! Sooo stunning.

  • can someone confirm whether this is tuned down a half-step or a full step from the recording?

  • @Glassesmaketheman Yes, it is a semitone lower than the studio version. Like with many other U2 songs live, they do it to suit Bono's voice. I suppose for hitting those high notes a bit more comfortably (for him !).

  • @Glassesmaketheman This performance is 1/2-step down. Recording is in B major, this is B-flat major (same as Rattle and Hum & Zoo TV Sydney), from PopMart onward it's been played a full step down in A major.

  • Great band singing about the greatest nation in the world.

  • I`m crazy for this Song! Nice greetings from Farrah Music, Hannover Germany

  • wow) U-2

    rip Martin

    free

    people

    great))))

  • @ssurfcity you must remember that Democrats ran the congress, held the majority of governorships, state houses on down to mayors, city councils, etc. when Jim Crow laws were passed in the south. A liberal democrat President ordered Japanese U.S. citizens to internment camps during WWII. It took Republican votes to pass the Civil Rights act. Look up Senator Edward Dirksen, there is a building in D.C. named after him. Education is free, look into it.

  • @SEA1KING Both major US parties today are nothing at all like they were historically. Both are equally inept

  • + 4. April 1968. Rest in Peace Martin Luther King. This song is for you.

  • ONE MAN ON THE CROSS. UN HOMBRE EN LA CRUZ DIO TODO POR AMOR Y TRAICIONADO POR UN BESO....

  • Great Man indeed. He used proverbs and the message of God to deliver his message. Another great conservative whose Christian values shaped his message of hope, was Abraham Lincoln who risked his life to free the slaves.

  • @CaribbeanLatino Too bad the so-called 'conservatives' have managed to twist the message to suit their own political agendas in this day and age. Those on the 'right' hated MLK enough to shoot him.

    Abraham Lincoln Didn't as much free slaves as much as give in to political convenience. You give conservatives way too much credit for anything good happening here in the last 50 years.

  • VIVA A PAZ E O AMOR! A PAZ É NECESSÁRIA E O AMOR TAMBÉM! FAZ BEM À SAÚDE! ADORO ESTA MÚSICA DO U2! WONDERFUL! SONG FOR PEACE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

  • Things like this r wat make me proud to have Irish background!

  • I don't care if Bono has the most 80's hair ever. This performance kicks ass.

  • superb

  • Oh man MY WISH IS THAT EVERY PERSON IN THE WORLD  LISTEN THIS MUSIC AND LEAVE THE WEAPONS AND TAKE THEIR HANDS FOR PEACE

    YEAHHHHHHHHHHH XD

  • If You like Irish rock like this, We are a band with a singer born in Ireland and we want tp share our music with You. Go to our channel here by clicking on the blue word to Your left and tell us what You think. Michael Shanahan, Summer and Lightning.

  • 35 people are racist, and are agains Martin Luther King ;)

  • makes you wanna go back in time and join that concert there..

  • I still think Irish ppl will rule the world. Watch out those red haired bastErds...

  • AMAZING!

  • I'm 16. I was exposed to U2 back in the 90s. My dad always played their music.

    I really wish more people my age would give U2 a chance. I've known them all my life, and some of these kids I go to high school with can't even name one of their songs. Such a shame. They truly are ageless, though - they will find a way through people like me. They will transcend lifetimes and last generations.

    U2 offers real music. 95% of today's artists do not.

  • @BenderPictures I'm also 16, and U2 is my all-time favorite band. My dad exposed me to them at a very young age, so it's kind of like U2 has always been the soundtrack of my life. A lot of my friends don't like U2 because they've never given them a chance, but I just don't see how you couldn't appreciate such revolutionary, powerful music.

  • @shelleykinzerton the sad thing is that if U2 weren't already an established band, they wouldn't be played today. I was 15 when this song came out and love it more today than I did then, and it was a favorite...I know exactly what you mean when you say "the soundtrack to your life."

  • @BenderPictures These guys and Rush are my official favorite bands....OK, I was mainly their hardcore fan, spending money on them and listening to them all the time and having posters when I was teen more than as a grown woman but I still love them and still listen to them even though I have enjoyed many newer bands as well.

  • @BenderPictures Just remember kid Larry Mullen Jr is the greatest rock drummer of all time.

  • @BenderPictures dude, exacly the same with me!

  • @BenderPictures GOOD COMMENT MY YOUNG PADAWAN!

  • @BenderPictures Yeah, I'm 18 and most of my musial comfort zone doesnt extend beyond the 80's-90's. Don't get me wrong, I keep an open mind an ear, and will always try new things, but at the end of the day I always go back to bands like U2, RUSH, and Iron Maiden.

  • @BenderPictures dude... im 13... same as you.. been exposed to them my whole entire life...i grew up on anything 90s and below......im in 8th grade... and no body even knows who Aerosmith is unless they played guitar hero.... hell half of them haven't even heard of the rolling stones.....

    and id agree to the 95%

  • @BenderPictures Actually, I've been really surprised. Almost all of my friends prefer 80's and 90's stuff.

  • @BenderPictures This is awesome! It gives me hope for the future of music. I totally agree with you about today's artists. How many of them will stil be making music after more than thirty years, like U2? Not many, I'd bet.

  • @BenderPictures Go to as many of their concerts as you can while you can. I just flew from Arizona to Pittsburgh, worth every penny!

  • @BenderPictures lol you are 16 and talking about the 90's? u still remember when u were 5? damn

  • @LDZPLEN Nope. I barely remember the 90s at all. I'm saying I was exposed to it back then, or must have been. My dad listened to U2 most of his life, and onward into the 2000s. That's what I'm getting at.

  • @BenderPictures Also Bono is the only person who can successfully pull off a mullet

  • @BenderPictures I'm 18 and feel the exact same way. I've been listening to U2 since I was a baby and I think they're incredible.

  • @BenderPictures I have exactly the same story. My girlfriend's mom is a huge U2 fan and she was blown away when she found out I listened to them, which is kinda disappointing in my opinion. They are some of the most talented and influential bands of our time.

  • @BenderPictures right on man. Im 16 as well and ive listened to u2 all my life on the radio and stuff, but ive really gotten into them recently. Bono's pure emotion in his voice gives me goosebumps

  • @Curtis40E1 i think your english teacher Betrayed you...

  • Betrade by a Kiss, Jesus what betraded by a Kiss, I love U2 For they sang the truth.

  • Thumbs up if the Simpsons "Trash of the Titans" got you into watching this.

  • oh my bono.

  • only fing is Bonos got his head up his ass RE world hunger

  • @lindsay3640 u sed it!! hes up his arse alright!!

  • strange innmit ..... This records an oldy but music today is so bad we hark back to it

  • @lindsay3640 music like this is timeless...and always will be. It's as great today as it was when I first heard it back in 1984.

  • the greatest u2 performance ever!

  • Mullet Bono is the best!

  • Pure Greatness!

  • Comment removed

  • happy birthday Dr. King, this is for you!

  • The EDGE had hair... Skin head is better... LOL

  • Idea musical!!!

  • La canzone rock più bella del mondo!!!

  • About 2 months ago my father & I heard this in the car. We started singing along to this at the top of our lungs. It was so awesome.

  • U2 is the ultimate in bands!!! Great voice of Bono and excellent guitar work of Edge!!! Humanatarians for sure!!!

  • U2, They have always had a poltical and caring influence about speading a good sence of humanity thru their music. But, after a U2 concert, does it really change the world. Raising money is a great concept for the needy. But soon, will he be raising money for America? SC

  • IN THE NAME OF LOVE

  • I was at the Nürburgring concert of U2 in 1985. Bono was climbing the huge stage setup, a not at all obviously safe undertaking, to a height of about 15 m, and was singing  Pride from up there, to a mesmerized crowd of 70.000 people. An unforgettable experience, and one of the greatest ever I had visiting a concert.

  • I wish I was there

  • This is the best bend of the world!!!!!!!!

    

  • MULLET FTW!!!!

  • YES WE CANNIBAL !!! the new president is in the video legris75

  • 33 dislikes??? haters of this beauty and power are a miserable lot indeed. what sort of twisted bile must run through the heart of someone to dislike this????

  • @MrUndercoverblues because bono is a cunt, how old are you you prick...!

  • @carlosdeno I rest my case.  You comment sums up the haters for me and what sort of #$%^ comes out of them.

  • @MrUndercoverblues Bono or is it Godo....the man is a prick, just like sting, look into your hero a little deeper, you will find out what he is all about. He should stick to what he is good at singing and being a complete shirt front. Now go a play with your mothers tits, thats if you know who the slag bitch is you fucking donut.

  • Comment removed

  • @skydannymonty No, Bono is no God and he can be a megalomaniac for sure. But U2 make brilliant music and good music is good music if it's done by Bach, U2 or Springsteen or whomever. It's amazing how bold you guys are online with your insults; you suffer from internet steroid syndrome, where kiddies seem to grow 20 lbs of muscle and gain 5 inches in height online. In person, I tear you a new one.

  • BONO = PURE TALENT

    33 DISLIKES = PURE IGNORANCE

  • @MrUndercoverblues they're just idiots who could dislike this!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrUndercoverblues - perhaps they dislike republican violence and terrorism and 'Im a minority hard done by' syndrome!!?

  • @MrUndercoverblues Maybe they just don't like the song?

  • @spackhollogay I guess? I meant it less as an insult as bewilderment. To me, I don't get how someone can watch that performance and be so hateful and in my opinion, ignorant. It's like not enjoying a sunset on the water or a cool breeze on a warm summer eve, or cherry blossoms in the spring.  In other words, it takes real hard work to dislike any of those things... and so it does with this performance and song.

  • @MrUndercoverblues I personally think this is the best performance of their best song, but at the end of they day not everyone does, and the fact that they dislike shouldn't be cause for calling them miserable.

  • @spackhollogay  well... read back some of the hateful comments in here and you might understand why I used the language I did.

  • @MrUndercoverblues This a GREAT video. I think people are saying its not 'rare" as the video says. There are a thousand on line of this.

  • @MrUndercoverblues

    it's probably the mullet.

  • u2 , the beatles, the rolling stones ,need i say more

  • I am still kicking myself for not seeing U2 in the 80's! Awesome video, one of my favorite all time songs...thanks for posting this!!

  • 1 of the best voices and bands in history

  • @bonoireland8888 : True. Maybe even the best!

  • R.I.P Martin Luther King

  • Pride's best performance I've ever heard. Ever.

  • That cameraman must've been annoying

  • @Hiki321 lmao i no fuck, you may aswell make bono swallow the fucking camera lol. @ 0:33

  • Awesssssssommmeee songgggg!!!!!

  • please to the people with negative comment .Why not go listen to the bands you like rather than downgrade u2 and there followers.U2 are and always be a great band

  • What was the name of this tour?

  • @Wuvdeer I think it was Unforgettable Fire Tour

  • Also compare 1989 Seattle version of Metallica with more recent offerings, not as good it shows that youth is a fleeting thing and that you have to give your best when you are young

  • @SkinMechanic65 - Don't have time for you mate if you can't have a conversation without insulting. Go get a life and learn to respect other people's views. If you think U2 are amongst the best ever then that's fine by me. There was a time when I did appreciate their music, but in MY opinion they went the wrong way and became too commercial. I like music for other reasons besides all the commercial and multimedia that goes with most bands nowadays, but you are free to have your own views.

  • @SkinMechanic65 - An idiot, why? Because I don't rate U2 amongst the best bands ever? There must be a lot of idiots in this world then, because I have never heard any professional musician (and let me tell you I have spoken to quite a few in my time) ever mention that U2 where amongst the best groups ever. Read the whole thread and you'll realize why I listed all those tracks. Maybe your ignorant generation will finally learn something, but in the mean time, insult all you want my friend!

  • Bono rocking the ill ass mullet!!

  • ORGASMO INFINITO:)

  • jesus, that man can sing

  • man, you really have to respect bono's pipes here.

  • Amazing live version !

  • i bet they did not even dream of been so famous in 2010..

    they totally deserve it... :)

  • BONO FOR PRESIDENT 

  • huh 31 mentally retarded people watched this video

  • Holy shit you spammers are stupid. If you aren't convinced that U2 is awesome, I'd advise you to stop watching these videos, which happen to have "U2" in the title. Next time "read" the titles before you click to watch something. wankers.
