[spodonn]

Absolute gem! Thanks for posting!

[sillis75]

Thank u for posting! I knew for the past 23+ years of being a u2 fan, that someone out there that day must have had a giant VHS recorder on their shoulder filming this! I finally get to see a fans recording of that day! Thanks!

[MegaTrainspotter]

This proves that the streets have name video was a fake..They played an entire concert ..With no objections..Once trhe cameras were off?mmm?

[Libsdontcareee]

awesome. despite the fact this guy thinks Obama IS GOD in our country, so, Bono wrote this song about Obama years before Obama brought down this country and after he lied and abused cocaine. So thank you BonoBAMA

[RnRDoggie]

this is ultra rare!

[69JayBee]

Classic!

[mrst0754]

This is amazing! I am stunned. This really is GOLD!

[adamatova]

Thanks for posting. I think there's an official release of the video - just couldn't find it, lol - cheers and rock on.

[Jpkingu2]

I actually exclaimed 'Oh fuck!' in a wondrous shock when I saw this in the suggestions.

[crushedguy]

WOW!!! i love it, i was searching for this song performed live and came across this and this is gold my fellow fan lol....they sound so true live when your a u2 fan :)

[SavethePlace]

Sucks, I worked a couple of blocks away in the IBM Tower and had tickets for the concert, but thought all of the rumors that day were a hoax. Had lunch at my desk instead and missed this - DOH! BIG mistake. Great time in music, great time in LA, and ultimately a great concert at the Coliseum.

This a diamond dug out of the mud, buried 23 years ago

[u2martin79]

esto es increíble! esta cinta puede ser una reliquia. es muy emocionante! es como si uno hubiese estado ahí.

This is unbelieved! this tape maybe to be a precius shot! Is very emotional! This is like Have to being there!

[1nativeaustintexan]

Wow! How did you find this? Awesome.

[rottenlydon]

@1nativeaustintexan Ive had this since 1988, I put my collection of vhs tapes away in storage some years ago

and only recently decided to browse through them when i found this, I promise i will upload the rest of the show (ive already uploaded a few more tracks from it)

[davesommers2]

Lol, Bono looks like Skeletor!

[TheGavio93]

NOW THATS WHAT I CALL ROCK AND ROLL!

[WhoDoYouWant]

He's like a Sioux brave proud on his hilltop.  Little did he realise how high the hill would rise in the years to come.

[Nigelxman]

@WhoDoYouWant Um....yeah...yeah...Bono's totally like a.....Native American.....lol

[WhoDoYouWant]

@Nigelxman I've had a re-look, and yep, I was right the first time. Just 'cause he ain't don't mean bad video footage doesn't give him that aspect. It's called optical illusion. You know how it goes, you type LOL and the rest of pretend we're laughing. Now you got it ;)

[TonkinStudioTube]

sad eyes crooked crosses...In God's Country...

[andisetsfire]

this is by far the best version of this song ... bono sings it so good and hey its not sooo upspeeded like the rattle and hum thing ^^

[southernal13]

Oh that is so cool.. One of my favourites. How many songs did they play???

[rottenlydon]

@southernal13 They played 5 different songs, Streets, people get ready, in gods, sunday & pride, streets was performed about 4 times in total, pleased you liked it

[kathrynkitchen]

Wow just came across this, and could not believe my eyes. You very rarely come across clips like this, i'm glad i found it, i'm such a big U2 fan. Thanks man you made my day!!

[rottenlydon]

@kathrynkitchen You're welcome, im pleased you enjoyed it,it seemed such a shame to keep this to myself

[u2fan33]

PRICELESS video clips!! U2 fans around the world are thanking you for posting these jewels!!!!!

[US2ROCK]

I love these guys ... the band U2 and Dog Savanna are the bands that I like to hear! Viva Rock!

[jem3911]

this is the absolute king of cool.dont argue

[chamillionairebestg]

These comments are ridiculous. This is garbage, filmwork and audio incredibly bad

[rottenlydon]

@chamillionairebestg comments from REAL fans who know the quality lies within the rareness of the video not the camera work ?

[smoo70]

AND .... whomever took the time and effort to convert it from film stock to a digital format so that it could be uploaded. EXCELLENT WORK, THANK YOU SO MUCH

[rottenlydon]

@smoo70 it seemed only fair to share this with others 8)

[cultb52]

Fuckin' amazing!!!

[Nigelxman]

Yes!!! Never ever saw this amateur footage. I used to live about 3 miles away from here and it's just so fucking cool to see. I managed to miss it though :-(

[santiagochi]

GRacias gracias gracias gracias

thanks for this incredible post

[rottenlydon]

@santiagochi You're welcome

[zodiacdragoon]

Hey is this the same video shoot where they made the video for Where the Streets Have No Name?

I remember it being on a rooftop in LA...

[rottenlydon]

@zodiacdragoon yes it is the same video shoot

[smoo70]

rottenlydon...aside from the obvious official version that would have been filmed on the day this would just about have to be the only other version in existence. Like most others, i thought they must only have done "streets" to a backing tape, filmed that and then shut down. rottenlydon, this is absolutely amazing and very rare. EXCELLENT WORK MATE!!!!

[rottenlydon]

@smoo70 Im only to happy to share such a find with you and many others

[colpetne]

since you can see the camera crew in the video theres got be a pro shot somewhere i hope somebody releases it!

[VanillaBean130]

[theedge76]
