"40"

[lucasamontenegro]

I think this is the best record of 40 live, it's a pity that this video doesn't goes until the very end...

[onedan1961]

Awesome song! Based on my favorite Psalm...(40)....well played!

[thefirstchampster]

Amen. 

[PISCORUSH]

I LOVE U2!

[viper1970025]

Star of David on The Arm..Represent Bono...Represent..Shalom

[RuiArouca]

This guys are the bosses of my religion .

[ericleb01]

Just saw them cap off their 360 Tour in Moncton with a great rendition of this song. Crazy concert!

[MrRandomer128]

aw man i wanted to see all the band do their epic exits, especially larry

[u2md]

How long to sing this song ? till the end of the world and one day longer

[KowaH84]

at the end - Bono says about colleague - JP2 ?

[aprilmay91]

@KowaH84 He says his rosary is for Father Scully at Notre Dame University.

[imedi]

why o why was this song not played in glastonbury

[xtianvilchez]

Puso Un Cántico Nuevo en Mi vida ..... Gracias por Rescatarme mi Jesús!!

[xtianvilchez]

Puso Un Cantico Nuevo en Mi vida ..... Gracis por Rescatarme mi Jesus!!

[prezydent2025]

Adam and Edge rules in this song

[mrxxsammiesammie]

larry mullen jr best drummer on the world

[neocant1]

What a gift these guys have been to the world- I hope they try to remember that at every performance- I've see a few where they seem to forget the brilliance of their artistry- but it always is a good chance it's someones first U2 concert- don't become the Stones- stay U2....I know they have the best chance....

[timounful]

Adma's maybe not the best bass player in the world. But he belongs to this instrument. He's personnality, he's look perfectly fit with it. He is the " rocker " of the band after all. And the bass is for that kind of guy

So Adam Clayton is the only bassist of the band !

[Brok3nC4rrot]

I see they're carrying on their tradition of switching bass and guitar for this song. Excellent song.

[schpaff]

Jesus H Christ, you left out the best part of the song at the end. Dope

[Jacarevoxxx]

the best band

[viper1970025]

The show is over

[GoMD3]

King David was looking for relief and help from his enemy...and out of the depths of his soul came these words (Psalm 40) that God would appear and rescue him...and eventually that happened. ...that is now immortalized by the singer Bono.

[GoMD3]

This song is based on Psalm 40!

Out of the bible!!

The fIrst WORSHIP SONG!!!

Amazing!!!

Worship JESUS!!

[Scrouby543]

Oh my freaking heck!

[Galant2500v6]

Adam rocks!

[viper1970025]

When this sp/track comes on. At a gig you its time 2 get your JACKET.

[BLAISJU]

Bravo U2 pour vos chansons engagées... spirituelles... "40" est une fusion des psumes 40 & 6 de la bible...

[notehagaslaboludakru]

hermosisima

[equipdotorg]

lyrics from the book of psalms in the bible...psalm 40

[calangodoido]

If you don't get goose bumps listening to this song...you shouldn't be listening to it in the fist place! God Bless U2!

[assfacerz]

u2 the band that can not play an instrument but yet seem to fool us far from belief but without each other they would jedward

[RushRules4]

Hell Adam while you have the guitar you should've started playing Spirit of Radio or something.

[jcarlosrodriguezm]

from what album is this song?

[DraekBaekhard]

@jcarlosrodriguezm This song it's from "War"

[33sera]

R.I.P. Jill Lindsay

[33sera]

When I was at work I said to Heath "Did they just?" And he said "Fuckin' oath they did."

[33sera]

Does the football club want to give me a lot of money as well?

[33sera]

Does it suit the bigwigs if I say it like that?

[33sera]

A little bit concerned about the headline on the paper today

[bipo25]

AMO A GURU!.

[33sera]

Take two

[u2akrobata]

u2 Masterpiece!!!

[evbunke2]

Aww, why'd you cut off the rest of it after Bono goes off stage?

[U2IsTheBestBandEver]

3:18 sexiest smile eva! love u Bono <3

[GGhostDogg]

@TheNo97- Yes. Edge on bass & Adam on guitar for this one.

[rainking883]

What a band, what a song, what an audience.. what a night!!

[timounful]

3.18 Bono's smile give me chills !

[jorgoshki]

@timounful mee too!!!

[getsbent]

wish adam played more at the end one of my fave guitar solos with edge goin nuts on bass ..................beautiful song A true U2 Classic always used to end with this :P In their early days ....

[jorgoshki]

@getsbent IMO the best version of this song is from DVD live from Paris -87 Joshua Tree Tour.. Adam goes crazy with his guitar.. I just love it!

[nitch003]

pretty smashing cymbals there

[shortandbig0]

How long to sing this song? Forever please

[timounful]

Edge is so beautiful <3

[rajeevbat]

I love the part between 4:15 and 4:40

Adam is just too good. Creates a hypnotic sound!

[rcadegeest]

U2!!!!! Is the best:D

[s8715053122004]

This song is based on the Bible’s Psalm 40, hence the title. Bono once explained it as “We spent 10 minutes writing this song, 10 minutes recording it, 10 minutes producing it and 10 minutes mixing it – which has got nothing to do with why it’s called 40.”

[kickinwayne45]

anybody know what he says at the very end as he hangs the rosary??

[amadeus1756]

@kickinwayne45 They were at Notre Dame in South Bend just the previous week and it sounds like Bono was dedicating the song to someone there. I can't make out the name however, sorry.

[Friars93]

My favorite version of any U2 song to date. And that is hard to do.

[DrummerJP95]

awesome song and that was a cool solo adam did

[davins90]

spettacolo... gesù ti amo...grazie U2

[cristie1969]

this is U2 vulnerable, showing their heart.... beautiful. who is not moved by this? glory to God. <3

[oovardz]

divine sounds........there are miracles for sure.....

[ardode]

sono sempre i migliori!!!!!!!

[ilsiita88]

only U2 can sing beautifully to God...i looooooooooooveeeeeeeeee them:)!

[MrKrypton88]

u2 r still the best live band on the planet ! their songs r  anthems & their gigs r a rollercoaster full of energy & emotion that leaves u wanting more & more ! ive seen muse live & to compare them to u2 is a joke theyre overrated & blew up by the english press !

[boredrobotbored]

@MrKrypton88 Don't agree, Muse slogged away for years selling buckets of albums and filling arenas around the world but were always conspicuously ignored by the British press. It was fans that pushed to get the umpteen 'Best Live Act' awards over the years, and finally after selling out the new Wembley Arena twice the mainstream press noticed them. Seen both U2 and Muse live a few times, they are both brilliant but different (and very good friends of each other).

[alithomson]

What does Bono say at the end when he hangs his rosary on the mic?

[getsbent]

oh i agree Best live band ever But there is one band that IS = when playing live ... U2 fan since the ealry 80's and best concert was zoo TV ! But Queen and u2 are the best bands playing Live ,, look at Queen at Live Aid And damn ,, Can tell a good band by how the play live .!

[RushRules4]

That's cool how Adam and Edge switched guitars.

[jepelico]

Lets pray for "40" in Chicago July 6!!

[kyfuneraldirector]

Oh my God...YES....I'm there too....And let's play 'BAD' also. Sect 306 row 1brother. See ya there!!

[logixish]

He don't tighten em. He pings em for the effect that Edge does sometimes. Quality

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

@logixish: sorry, my husband stands corrected, so blame him:) (see my comment to Antirellik below);and the funny thing is that my hubby used to play bass, which made his 'logic' about what Adam was doing even more amusing, lol:D Anyway, Adam's 'pinging' sounds pretty cool:)

[MrDazza70]

quite simply the best live band ever theres no1 2 compare

[Tarafriend33]

@MrDazza70 I am in great agreement! You have great taste! :)

[Tarafriend33]

@MrKrypton88 I'm sorry, dearie, I don't give my e-mail address out on You Tube. Nice to know ya though! :)

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

At 2:19, Adam tightens his guitar strings, while Bono (and fans in background) RAISE-THE-ROOF!!!

[TheGavio93]

@LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness he's not tightening them

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

@Gavio: I know, I know! Thanks for the *second* correction, lol! Blame my husband for my comment. He was the one that pointed out to me that Adam was tightening the strings (the funny thing is that my husband used to play bass, but it is obviously clear that he had NO clue about what Adam was doing!) Thanks for the heads-up, though; I'll make sure to pass it on to The Husband:)

[rmevans0309]

You are rock gods! Thank you God for people lke you!

[pandemia11]

is good

[michaelcalab]

EVEN TODAY this song brings me to tears.. Such Truth!

[stellina997]

Bono Is So Wonderfull

[stellina997]

2:19...bono <3

[AntiRellik]

What the hell is Adam doign at 2:19? haha! fun!

[LuvMyGr8DaneGuinness]

AntiRellik: I was thinking the same thing when my husband and I were watching this DVD; my husband said that it was just Adam tightening the guitar strings. It actually sounds pretty cool!:)

[AntiRellik]

haha! yeah it sounds great. I hope my future wife likes U2 haha it would be pretty fun.

[ELLEONTHEJUDA07]

" We know you are watching over us"...

Praise our King Christ !

[swiftyguitar]

Beautiful song....beautiful crowd. Beautiful God.

[RayLuka75]

I agree with everything except God! Read Stendhal and Nietzsche child ;) ooops and de Sade ;)

[legodesi]

@RayLuka75

which part of the song do you agree with, then?

[WhoDoYouWant]

@RayLuka75

Stendhal and Nietzsche - intellectual 'Gods'

Nietzsche, God to Nazism

De Sade, God to anarchists

Stendhal quote " All religions are founded on the fear of the many and the cleverness of the few"

Add then to the list of religions philosophy.

Everyone - EVERYONE has a God. Glad you remain faithful to yours ...... ;)

[LOW1711]

@swiftyguitar Adam on lead, edge drops down to bass ..pure genius !

[bionicbigfoot]

"I'm not even the best bass player in U2"

-Adam Clayton

[JavierKrumholtz]

at the end of the clip i think Bono says "this for our father (.....) at  Notre Dame university, this for you. Thank you"

that`s what I heard

[donremi76]

thank you javier :)

[SNovotny86]

Theres a lag after he says father, but i believe he says "This is for our Father Sorin at Notre Dame University. This is for you!"

[donremi76]

I didn't understand what Bono says at the end of the clip. Can someone help me? thank you

[ELLEONTHEJUDA07]

U2 has always been a rare instrument, specially nowadays to bring the word of God to the World. To bad the flick got cut off at the end. Thanks saxyreno.

Gb!

[1bam18]

The edge is playing bass. Im too lay to say why so go look it up on wikiepedia

[darwleg]

it sounds like "bullet the blue sky " !

[goofygoat2009]

wait, what did bono say at the end? who did he devote the song to?

[RXR4rr]

He Devoted it to his dad. *sniff*

[americanpitbull04]

Bono... says this is for father skully at notre dame university

[goofygoat2009]

adam and edge always switched guitars when they played this live.they've been doing so since 1984. i think it's the only song where they switch--unless there's another song but i think this is the one.

[oliwil92]

They have always switched with eachother ever since 83 not 84

[LukeJ60]

qwhy do they switch? is it just for fun?

[eroplane]

beautiful!

[kahn3OOO]

Love Adam's Improv' at the end.

[Cb704tx]

Adam on Guitar and Edge on Bass? Awesome

[anotherU2fanboy]

hoooow long to sing this song!!!!!!!!!!

[Hatjo176]

Adam on the guitar. Really Great. I guees the passage from 4:15 up to 4:40 is improvisation. Not bad.

[labandotaforever]

la mejor banda del mundo, simplemente los numero uno.......y la mejor musica...

[whiteonsolo]

[metaldroide]

[LordLiamo]

[americanpitbull04]

[isuckle]

Holy Christ-love!

its the Messiachnic psalm..

after the 40 days/years/etc wilderness fast comes the new rejoicing..

U2 leading us closer to the age of Love,

Holy Ghost! She works in mysterious ways..

[whisper180]

not 40 years-- Psalm 40.

[sweetblueskies]

this song always brings me back...it's a love song...from our father to us

[malilite]

Wow beautiful version, really ! Much better than at Boston or Dublin, isn't it ?

[Zujfsn]

Paris version is pretty good

[JohannaEm]

This band never fails to take my breath away.

[qsalama]

the best band ever, they are still together and with great songs that will live forever... I wish U2 will sing a song in my upcoming wedding..

Go On U2

[mtylerf1974]

looks like the spotlight bono held on edge on the cover of rattle and hum

[pinkfloydiano1626]

Carajo, no dejan de sorprenderme. La primera vez que escuché a U2 tenía 12 años y fue algo muy extraño, como sincerarme conmigo mismo, con mis emociones. Tengo 20 años y, hoy en dia, puedo decír que U2 ha cambiado mi vida. Si fuese a morir mañana, me iré en paz porque pude ir a la gira u2/vertigo tour/2006 en el Estadio Azteca el 16 de febrero de 2006. Gracias primo... El mejor regalo de cumpleaños de mi vida.

[dingopinguino]

no coments, only i would say, THIS IS THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD.

[hustedge]

Beautiful music and song. Absolutely, a U2 great ending.

[evergreen0087]

love this song very well, is my "lullaby" love the sound,melody,rhythm this song gives me the creeps!

[glossross]

back vocal the edge amzing

bono beautiful voice and glasses.

Adan the best bass

larry the best solo drums

[melon087]

Para mi, el mejor grupo que hay, cada cancion te hace sentir algo que solo ellos puede expresar.

Gracias U2, espero veros pronto.

[baltazx]

The most performance of "40" BY u2.

Beautiful Song

[cryan03s]

I know how to explain it. Read Psalms 40 from the Holy Bible. The lyrics are taken directly from those passages from the bible. That's why the song is called '40'. It's cool that God speaks directly through the bible and stirs faith and emotion and gives peace, a peace not of this world. The Holy Bible has words that when heard by the human ear do not return void. They do something. They are real.

[cbono69]

I was going to put those same words on here but when i saw your words it made me see again and feel god within...Today,,I'm going through a tuff time and psalm 40 is all i have,,,Thanks for your words and hope..Psalm 40 rules....

[baltazx]

This song give me faith and tranquility!

I Love U2. This song in Chicago it's a moment of LOVE

[fedepinnaattosecondo]

i don't know how to explain the emotions that this song gives to me.

amazing.beautiful.gorgeous.inc­redible.eccezionale.emozionant­e.non c'è che dire.

[Effer90]
