Love Adam's face at 1:18 - 1:19. Like, "Where are we? Where's the pub?!" haha

Great video, thanks. :D

Despite the ironic absence of audio, this is my very favourite U2 footage.

In 1987, I was 11 years old, and The Joshua Tree had just been released. With it, U2 became my introduction to rock n' roll...my first idols.

For all its silence, this film represents the mythical spirit of the band, to me...it's like a time capsule. This was how I first saw U2, and how I'll always see them. And they're younger here, than I am, now. It's bizarre to watch.

25 years...I've never seen them live, yet.

FWIW - Opening scenes were at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley.

Back then many of us thought the footage & album pixs were all done in Joshua Tree Park (what did we know - this was well before the Web....when a lot was still left to the imagination). When I first went to Joshua Tree Park I couldn't find anything like the Joshua Tree album cover shot. Then a trip to DV and came upon the most memorable sights: Zabriskie Point, late night all moon-lit. No one else there. Thank you U2 and Anton.

The last listenable U2 album - The Joshua Tree. Not that I don't respect them for doing what they did after. It's just that it was their thing, not mine. That's good though. They helped steer me to the beautiful "alternative" scene that was happening at the time.
