  • i have seen them once at the u2360 tour, and they were absoloutley incredibley aw inspiringly awesome! i really really really really really really hope that i get another chance to see them live again here in australia! and i really do hope to hear this song live.

  • This song will be played on my funaral!! So much full of emotional stuff.....

    I'm only 29 years old now... So powerfull!!!!

  • @TheDiRomatti

    You are so right, 'kite' is so powerfull and just an honest song . When both my parents died in 2005 (I was 32), 'kite' gave me the strenght to carry on with my life without parents . Since then I listen to 'kite' at least once a day and when I'm feeling down, 'kite' just makes my day better . I think about my parents while listening to 'kite' and I just know that they are happy right now . It's hard to discribe, but 'kite' is such a healing song to me . God bless U2 . !!

  • Who on earth dislikes this song!!

  • His father died on the 21st August 2001. U2 did a concert that night in England before bono came home and attended the funeral. U2 did their first Slane gig the day after Bob Hewson was laid to rest and the 2nd Slane gig exactly a week later.

  • AMAZING!!!!!

  • i know this is not goodbye *( ik weet dit is geen doei ) in dutch 

  • to me best song of U2.Absoutely beautyfull

  • real shame that he just looks down as he says I'm a man in the middle

  • According to the bible, there are 7 world wonders ..

    I think I just found the 8 th .. !!!!

    WHAT A SONG !!

  • @bonavox11 there are 9 world wonders- 8th are U2 and 9th are their songs

  • Its amazing these guys have been together over 35 years! Think about it. Where are your friends from 35 years ago? Let alone be in a band and dominate the world and CONSISTANTLY write good music.

  • I find it so amazing I want it every time just to look beautiful for words. I'm speechless.

    

  • I still pity him for his father since I've been at the concert

  • ow my god i can't bileved how can listen 3:28

  • 3:14

  • great guitar work by diedge

  • I think he must cry so pathetic 4:37

    I had to cry

  • Man, i nearly cry just watching. This performance is simply stunning. In his position i couldn't hold it together, singing about someone so important in your life and effectively making this your "last goodbye". Unreal, just unreal.

  • Four people have no heart

  • we are so fortunate that Bono lets us into his emotions, and exposes his deepest pain and joy. that's just priceless in a songwriter!

  • Astonish!! It moved me so hard i can't stop listen to it again and again. A great Paul Hewson there!!

    I love u , just the way you are,Paul Hewson.

  • Bono gets stick now for not pushing the notes anymore......this performance blows that out of the water!

  • for me it is a legendary performance.what an emotion there..GREAT !

  • his Father Bob had just died before this concert. It is hard to say Goodbye...This concert was nearly cancelled, but Paul Hewson said, I have to sing...and sing with such raw emotion he did...

  • what a song!!!LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!I CAN LISTEN TO IT OVER AND OVER!!U2 ARE THE BEST AND BONO SINGS WITH HIS HEART!!!AMAZING!!!!

  • amazing...

  • Bono is crying from the first time he says goodbye and until the end of the song.

    so touching!

  • Bono is crying from the first time he says goodbye and until the end of the song.

  • does he say "this is kite, this is above music," just before starting the song?

  • @DKViola

    No, he says: "This is Kite, this is for Bob Hewson (His dad)"

  • @DKViola i'm always guessing at what he says! I really don't know! does anyone know? i'm very curious :P

  • @stelliej23 this is for bob hewson,his father who he buried the day before the concert in dublin

  • @DKViola No, he says : "This is Kite, this is for Bob Hewson". :)

  • @DKViola he says this is kite this is for both of uze.

  • i've been a huge U2 fan since '83, and this is one of the best songs ANYBODY has ever written. this performance is deeply moving...

  • This was the best gig i have ever been at in my life, My Dad was in cameron musical society with bono's dad. Thank god i still have my da. Bono must have had a lot of emotion going on singing this song. BEST BAND EVER move over The Beatles.

  • I can't get through this without crying.

  • Amazing!!

  • Quite simply f**king outstanding!!

  • Beaucoup d'émotion .......

  • beautiful song

  • Bono, What a legend!

  • i love it ... <3

  • This is one of the strongest.. Dunno how he pulls this off. He doesnt really at Boston. (But it doesent make make it any less powerful, maybe the opposite..)

  • Espero em outubro ficar juntinho ao palco para te vêr bem Bono ;) vou gritar tanto adoro-te

  • paradox of our global society....... we keep inventing new ways to communicate but still don't TALK to each other

  • The band never played better around Bono than this track. You can see it on their faces, they know what it means to him and they are just making it as solid as possible.

  • ahhh. this video made me cry. the song itself is powerful enough, but you can just hear/feel the emotion in bono's voice and it never fails to make me tear up, especially when he does himself, and when his voice cracks singing the last "goodbye". intense. i wish i was there!

  • I love this song, don't know why, yes sure the lyrics, but it's the atmosphere of the song that really touches me, it is so...intense, the music draws you in...something like that...

  • just one word for this song FANTASTIC ! I love the part 3:15 - 3:45, it is one of my most favourite ever, Edgeś solo and then Bonoś voice...

  • Comment removed

  • amazing!

  • was at this show.. bonos old man had just passed away and so had my mine..cried like a little girl

  • @ bodhee: you showed your true feelings! You shed tears for a person you cared about, who deserved to cry for.

    It takes a real man to express his true feelings & NOT be ashamed of it.

    God bless you and your father.

  • No words... I've seen them 15 times now, no other band comes close. May they keep on amaze us with their gorgeous music! What a voice, what a heart, what emotions, what music! WAW! Thanks for everything, guys!

  • May you rest in peace Mr Bob...i see a lot of you in your son

  • the biggest band on the planet

  • You've got to love U2

  • @BabyBubbleBear

    I do!

  • This is a very good live performance, you can hear the emotions in his voice.

  • got lyrics of song on sing365 while surfing, this link not only provides lyrics for the song, it also displays the comments added by users. these comments shows that how "meaningful, true" u2's songs are and one can relate to them to life.

    u2 not only makes songs for the sake of it. they make songs that gives you goosebumps as many times as u listen to them. hats off to u2.

  • pissed as farts

  • Que dire de plus que magnifique... J'adore u2 ce sont les meilleurs au monde personnes ne les vaut ... Merci pour le bonheur que vous me procurer a chaques fois que je vous ecoute

  • Best version ever heard!

  • Goosebumps. Fucking beautiful.

  • you don't need to do drugs, just go and see a U2-concert

  • they have nough for everyone

  • when he tries to say the last 'goodbye' his voice cracks, must be so hard to sing through that kind of emotion..... simply a wonderful performance

  • In fact, this concert was two days after Bono's father passes away.... Without anydoudt this was one of the most sensitive moments during this concert.... another one was during the song "Out of Control", when Bono thanks his father for lending him money to make the first u2's record in london.

  • you're slightly wrong. this was a week after his dads passing..

    They did two gigs at slane. bono's dad was buried the day before the first gig and the dvd is the 2nd gig, 1st september 2001..

  • @Nedbeaner the song was written when his dad was dying, but the thing is, his dad had just died, which makes the performance even more emotional.

  • Comment removed

  • @Nedbeaner ... I know that this is not goodbye.

    , ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ .

    .. ♥ ♥ ♥ ...

  • U2 at one of their finest moments. Fantastic.

  • its not just bono who is singing on this song. its the edges guitar. awesome song.

  • "The last of the opera stars...."

    Beautiful.

  • this is just incredible...wow...

  • I absolutely love this song.

  • Comment removed

  • Only U2 can write songs that are so complex and still popular. The poets of this generation.

  • Brave man! And he cheers us all up so well! Luv that!

  • I can't believe how beautiful this version is.

  • I know this is not goodbye Pills...

  • -one of the best songs ever...

  • the best tribute a son could give to his father.

  • you can actually see his tears rolling down...it makes me cry...marvelous song!!! just AWESOME

  • wow...unbelievable...he's so brave...he's just full of inpiration to all of us...what a great and brave maaan!

  • "the last of the Opera stars...." super heavy duty sh*t there. Bono is an inspiration to all. One of my favorite songs. U2 is the greatest.

  • Anything can be accomplished if you put your heart and mind to it... too many give up before the full potential is realized. Whether you like U2 or not, the point is that they could have canceled this performance and they didn't. Really, listen to the CD as well and you'll find that this was probably one of their best shows ever done.

  • one of the best song of this magical rock band.

    thank U2

  • 4:13 edge just looks like "wow...how does he do it...." shake it off shake it off...cathartic....

  • oh my god , i never noticed that before, i think you are right, i;m not sure i could get in front of crowd and sing so soon after my father's death

  • Won't get involved in all the "handbags" going on, just dropped in to say what a fantastic song and performance! 5*****

  • holyshit this songs is reall good.

  • "So if U2 isn't your cup of tea why do you keep listening to them? So you can be a music critic. I believe the reason you don't like u2 is because their songs are too deep for you, and actually makes one think! The bands you've meantioned all have the same meaning for all." Actually, if you were anything into music and constructive thinking you would'nt state such a thing. I cant take you seriously after such a statement. Sorry. Again, it proves the u2croudtheory I have. Best falsetto? I laugh.

  • I laugh at your comments. If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

  • Are you serious? "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." How would for example politics work if everyone followed this? You are 50 years old and you dont know the basics of a debate. Go out.

  • i´m never forget this " I´m a man ; i´m not a child . . . . . . . DEEEEEEP im not words tho discrebe that.

  • U2 forever. Adam the best!

  • Increible, no hay palabras....

  • Que huevos, tocar dos días después de que se muere tu viejo. La verdad que Bono es lo mas grande que hay.

  • LINDOOOOOOO

    AMO U2

  • bono is very very big man,,,,sing at concert two days after his dad´s death,,,very strong

    U2 forever

  • 4ewerBonJovi,

    Actually this was taped a week after his fathers death. But Bono had to have much courage to play a concert 2 days after his fathers funeral, and then allow the concert to be taped a week after. Bono always does put his fans first, and iws such a courageous man.

  • Fanstastic , U2 and Bono you the man!

  • What a fantastic, heartfelt performance of this great song! Talk about raw emotion! You can really see how heartbroken he is! What a fantastic tribute to his Dad. I'm sure he was very proud of Bono.

  • looking forward to see them in Zagreb yeeeeeee

  • you mentioned...

  • looking forward to see them in Zagreb yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • so great ... there is no better song ..no better video .....

  • Such a nice tribute to his father that died this day! He is so very proud of you Bono!

  • He is crying all the time

  • He's crying at 4:48. His Dad had just died a few days earlier.

  • not only that but Bonos dad was buried the morning of this concert. very touching.

  • Love It!...

    :)

  • i love this song, so much better live

  • i love U2 <3, i think there amazing and although they are an old group there still amazing and even i like them and im 14 :) :D x

  • Thank God a young person has taste, I hope everyone reads that also. For a good old person doing a new song try out BobDylan doing Beyond here lies nothing, hope you enjoy!

  • aw, thankyou i will go & listen to bob dylan, never heared of him before mind you, but im sure he will be good :)
