  • This is awesome! Can´t wait to see them live!

    U2, 2009 is yours!!

  • A great performance, I just wish CBS didn't suck so much. The entire night was mixed horribly. And the camera work during this performance was awful. Barely any close-ups of Bono, no shot of Larry standing up while drumming during "Let Me in the Sound," and no real significant shots of Adam the entire performance.

  • Quality!

  • Still sounds shit. It's empty. There is no real soul to this song/performance. I've been a U2 fan since 1980 but this song aint growing on me one little bit.

  • Fucking love it!

  • U2 Rocks!!!!!

  • like it

  • so do I

  • dont like it

  • dont like it

  • Give it time. I personally don't like it much, but I thought the same thing when I first heard Zoo Station, and no I don't find it that bad. It's a matter of getting used to it. That is why famous bands use a lot of publicity so their songs get in your head to a point you end up liking them.

  • i heard the 11 snippets of the album on the walmart website and all the songs are sounding really good. this song isnt a representation of the album as a whole.

  • I hope this isn't a representation of what their album will be like....gosh this is awful. I love U2 and was looking very forward to their next album, but...sheesh. I just don't know what to say.

  • I am a big U2 fan but this song is shit

  • Comment removed

  • cant stop laughiing with the dance he makes around 2, 45 ahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahah

  • resembles the intro to zoo tv with bono in front of the screen

  • love the start, its like kashmir, led zeppelin. Na na naa..na na... EDGE!

  • cool bout time.

  • r they rocking or wot. The drums very Zeppelin

  • so much better live than the record!

    can't wait!

  • uhg. bonos moves on stage are teriblle! ade the song isn't so great, nothing new, special.

    definetly i'll don't buy the cd.

  • Good thing Youtube users don't rely on you for proper spelling, or advice on what's good or not from the Irish rockers known as U2.

    You know, when you sell over a 150 million records (try to grasp what that means if you can; it helps to write it out), I think you can safely say these guys know what they're doing in terms of what type of songs to write and what should be released to the public as singles.

    Thanks for your input though!

  • OOO look its and old man in young trousers.

  • I like U2 , but I don't understand why it's mandatory every year for them to play, there are alot of other great 80s bands still playing, why not invite them?

  • because U2 is on the international scene like none of them are.

  • sounds a lot like Elvis Costello

  • Wow! What's the brand of Bono's new sunglasses? RED or...?

  • A class energetic perforamnce, some parts could of been a little better, like lemme hear the sound, but grammys always been known for there shit sound, anyway i really love bonos new image, from there latest clips and pics he just looks like he was in the vertigo tour but with short hair, but the eye liner and new shades, looks class, 09 awaits xD

  • AWESOME !!!!

  • I do not understand all these people (even the "die-hard fans") saying this was a bad performance. THEY ROCKED! It was awesome--I don't know what performance those other people were listening to. And the eye shadow is Bono getting into character for the song: what's it about? Women! Seriously, it's not that hard to figure out. I wasn't super impressed with the song the first time I heard it either, but trust me, let it grow on you---U2 is genius.

  • Magnifico - U2 are back at their best. Fantastic

  • Bono is so annoying!!!

  • SO ARE YOU YOU CRETIN !!

  • I disagree with ur EMO comment.......

    BONO & U2 have always EXPERIMENTED with both their SOUND & IMAGE.....this is WHY they have been able to REMAIN relevant and have appeal even after 30yrs...as a longtime fan ive seen all the U2 era's & as always.....a song that I wasnt to keen on when i heard at first....as ALWAYS it comes ALIVE - LIVE!!!

    U2 is a LIVE band...always have been - their studio albums are always a prelude to a GREAT LIVE SHOW....ask anyone who has seen them live! FANTASTIC

  • I'm liking adams new bass! Mint song! U2 is back people.. at fucking last!

  • U2 still give me the chills. they should of let them play a few more songs!

  • Great

  • This was fantastic. I am so pumped for the new album and the eyeliner is totally rad. I can't wait to see them again.

  • zoo tv again amazing they are back to there best its going to be great and better this time and all the douters that think this is shit this album is going to be massive and the tour they try something different again and make it work who else atempts to do it.......

  • Fantabulous! Love love love this performance.

    Though I feel a bit queasy with the eyeliner. I think Bono does not need it. He has beautiful blue eyes. Still ... this is electrifying. Can't wait for the whole cd.

  • great quality, ths so much, I love this new record

  • Great live! They're back!

  • playback

  • playback your ass! even a baby knows u2 can be THAT amazing, asshole!

    envy...

  • Look at Larry at 3.02!

  • What's he doing?

  • I really miss u2 love songs! but this one is not so bad n_n

  • apart from tem eyeliner... (bad bad move), i really enjoyed it! U2 is not afraid to try new things.

  • Gosh!!! He put some make up on him!!! Ugh!! So emo!!!

  • my laughter is eternal coz my joy is real!

  • Wow. Didn't like the song when I first hear it...live unbelievable. U2 is back (not like they went anywhere!). Thanks for posting!

  • 3:19 is bono wearing mascara ? :P

  • yes he is, thats the new style, check q magazine with u2.

  • It was great !

  • the sound is very bad

  • these guys really know what they are doing

    thank you so much, U2

  • Pretty F'n awesome.  They impress me every time.

  • Very Good Music !

  • Why cant they do it like that on the record

  • that song was pretty over-produced, same reason why zooropa, achtung baby and pop dont sound the same live as on record.

    but they'll get there..

  • i think they been doing it long enough to get their albums right. Its probably quite difficult the studio enviroment and all that. Bono sounds like hes' trying to be to perfect on the record. But if they record it like playing live it probably sounds a bit messy on record. Its a fine line they gotta tread to get it right in the studio

  • THAT WAS FU***NG BRILLIANT!!!!!!

  • wow. that was incredible.

  • oh my GOD!

    Unbelieveable!!

  • absolutely incredible performance

    well done boys :)

  • they are old but they still rocking, that's just amazing :D song sounds live way better than the radio version. I believe that their new tour will be GREAT!

  • 30 years and U2s still got it! Let Me In The Sound!!

  • Whitney Houston? Uh ... no.

    Next up on the Grammy Awards, Whitney Houston performs live with Yo-yo Ma, Haystack, AFI and Garth Brooks in a performance no one wants to seee right after this 10 minute commercial break.

  • All I can say is "Let me in the sound, sound!!"

    That was awesome!!

  • Perfect. I love the kind of Clockwork Orange style they're into now.  Song sounded much better live. Still innovative after all these years.

  • Also, does anyone have any Idea as to what the Whitney Houston comment was in refference to.

  • She was ready to enter the stage, presenting the first award.

  • That was pretty awesome. Im looking forward to hearing the new album and seeing them live. I am kinda starting to like this song a little now, but I still can't get into the chorus part. I love the guitar playing, but it just feels like the tempo of the chorus just feels like it does't really have a payoff. Its hard for me to explain, but it just feels like it kinda dies, and then a new verse starts up.

  • its a lot better live

  • @Nelsonu2

    Neh, not the powercrash... makes it to messy... fullcrash but I like the hi-hat much better... more drive and balls ;-)

  • LarryMullennl : Exactly, in the middle of the chorus he must switch to the Hi-Hat or to the power crash...

  • GO PLAY WITH THE TRAFFIC

  • me see the return of the fly is imminent

  • vi amo!

  • AMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZING!!!!!!!!!­

  • its like they're doing the pop mart era again, but good!

  • popmart was good

  • Wow, this song works so well live!!! :) Plus, Bono's voice was great. I was expecting it to be quite bad, after seeing the Obama concert... Glad to see I was mistaken.

  • It was probably a mistake to show the lyrics on the screen behind the band - they're more than a little cliched and feeble.

  • STFU

  • I like U2 (especially in the 90s) - I have all their albums and a lot of their singles. IMO, this one is not up to their usual standard.

    Learn some manners - by simply telling me to "STFU", you're just showing yourself to be stupid AND rude.

  • STFU X 1000

  • How old are you? 10?

  • No 8 lol!!

  • Fuck, this was DAMN AWESOME.

  • Oh so knew this song would kick arse live!! Good one lads :)

  • Larry, please, in the chorus switch from floortom to hi-hat or fullcrash... sounds much more crisp!

  • and larry's really gonna take advice from you !! Fuckin loser !!

  • Amazing! These guys have an outstanding ability to make songs come alive when they are performing live... I mean, this song is a song that needs a few hearings to get to you - but this version, live - it gets to you at once!!!

    I CANT WAIT for the tour.....!

  • I'm also glad it got this good live, but it also means, the recorded one somehow lost it's excitement, hmm. it's the opposite of (a)live....

  • GREAT GROUP, GREAT PERFORMANCE, GREAT SONG! I love you Bono!

  • wow, rare thing for me but i LOVED the song right away! great performance! - fuzzy soul tiger, Mr. PJ

  • yeah! they're back!

    what the hell was larry playing at 3:01 ?

  • fantabolous!

  • I WAS THERE!

  • how was it in person...they seemed to have trouble with the sound...but I don't think it was a performance thing....they did awesome

  • did people there love them...were people screaming for them? I would have been

  • His eyes are sensitive and he is allergic to salicylates. They water in lights etc. That is why he wears the glasses---he probably wants to try the eyeliner for the effect it gives football players who use the black smudges under their eyes....instead of glasses?

  • Great performance

  • woah they ve still got it no doubt!!!!!

    can't wait for the album to come out.........

  • FANtastic!

  • I love U2 but it seems like they're trying to chase after hits, which obviously sells cd's, but I wish they'd write a cd for themselves and not the critics. Especially after watching U2 at RedRocks on here, I'd like to see Bono be less of a pop star and go deeper. Loved How to dismantle cd...

  • just wait till march 3rd!!!! This is deep but it is disguised...remember Everything you know is Wrong....a pop song or a statement..??

  • You obviously have not listened to the clips from the new album? Its a complete departure and if anything else they have done. HTDAAB was U2 chasing the hits, not the new album. The new one is going to be amazing.

  • that is roooooooooockk!!!!love it

  • best band in the world for sure...

    Jesus... hope to see they touring sooon

  • muito boa a peformance dos caras!!!=D

    Só o som do vídeo que nao contribuiu muito!=/..hehehe

  • GOYB liveee \o/
