@boagsale why? hasn't he donated millions to charity? hasn't he entertained millions of people around the entire world? He's making people happy is he not? i cant see your point :P
I was at one of their shows in Anaheim California and I get the exact same feeling listening to the song. THEY ARE AWESOME. Its magical how they get the audience into every single song they play
So that goes to prove it - just over 1% of youtube viewers are retarded. I saw U2 in Wembley in 1993, the Zooropa tour. Me and 500,000 of my good friends!! Best concert ever, and I been to a LOT of concerts in the US and Europe. Check out Bono and The Edge doing Stuck in a Moment on Letterman last week. Brilliant.
@Clank007 what the Stones is doing in great, IMO. I have been a U2 fan since I was around 12, as in proper listening + buying albums, and since then I have only had the chance to see them live once, in 2010. If they quit now, hundreds of thousands of fans will be disappointed such as myself. Besides, if anything, I feel that they should go out with a bang, and that they should end with a world tour supporting a new album, perhaps their best if they still have inspiration.
@thefonze007 Noone in the band is anything but the best at what they do. Bono is a first-rate vocalist, even after 30 years. The Edge is an innovator. Bass and drums are perfect. They're wise enough not to forget melody, dynamics, and beat.
Despite all of that, what makes them great is the songwriting. Bono losing his mother at 14 has a lot to do with the emotion he projects and wants back and the lyrics he chooses.
Ability to still have a sense of humor and stand each other is big, too.
@TimU2Cool - Most of the people in the crowd are middle-age. They're in a different generation; one that enjoyed music just as much as you probably do, but show it differently. It wouldn't hurt you to be a bit more respectful.
I always watch this every now and then. Roughly once a month. And each time without fail I think to myself when looking at that audience: "Those fucking lucky bastards".
Just on a hunch. Do you think that the heavy set guy (with the blue shirt in the front row of the audience) owns every album they ever produced? Also do you think that same guy likes chewing on tube steak?
@fastfoodclowns ...and thats why this song alone won 3 grammies, Song of the year, Record of the year and Best rock performance by a group with vocals??? Not only being a part of an album that won 7 grammies... Go back to that Bieber or Taylor shit or whatever the hell you listen to, no one wants to hear your shit....why the hell did you even watch this video??? Just to insult them? Seriously, get a life and learn the meaning of talent!!!
Does The Edge have a crew member hitting his pedals and effects for him? Doesn't look like he has a pedal board there and we all know he's notorious for incorporating a butt load of effects into his sound.
Example going into the chorus definitely sounds like he kicks in some distortion.
@xbigbryan they are playing along to a backing track. There are a lot of effects that cut in and out automatically. Also listen to the delay that kicks in on the lead vocal. Also the electronic kick drum in the intro. Also some keyboard sounds even though there is no one on stage playing keyboard.
If you notice that crowd just kept getting more into it finally going crazy.Many of them were older people dancing right there with the kids.INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
@worseto The funny part is the crowd is instructed not to stand and engage durring the live performances for television reasons, at least that's what they told us when I went to the Letterman show. . You could tell they wanted to and finally when Bono motioned for them to get up they did not hesitate.
I hate when people say bono cant sing anymore. Most of them just look at his performances during the middle of their really long tours where as if the critics look at performances at the start of the tour (like this one) bono's voice is spot on
@aaron19038 You're right. Bono's voice takes on a different sound from album to album because he's always looking for a new way of singing something. Thinking about it carefully, he actually doesn't sound the same overall on any two albums in the band's entire discography.
As for tours, he has to balance out his technique and passion - sometimes, when his passion pushes him, he can achieve what he was always capable of, if not MORE.
@DurtDurty I would NOT go so far as to say that. Radiohead, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers? And as the decade goes on, more real bands will show themselves.
