U2 We Are One Obama Concert - Pride + City of Blinding Lights 1280x720 HD 720p

January 18, 2009 / Washington, DC
Venue: Lincoln Memorial

Main Set: Pride, City of Blinding Lights

Comments: U2 perform during WE ARE ONE, a concert marking the upcoming inauguration of US President-elect Barack Obama. Bono changes lots of lyrics during COBL, including singing 'America's getting ready to leave the ground.' It's an abbreviated version of the song, missing the bridge, likely due to time constraints. All four band members also join the ensemble sing-a-long of 'America The Beautiful' at the end of the concert.

@TheRockfan68 hey Bieber fan, why don't you check the lyrics of the second verse? They don't repeat "city of blinding lights" the whole time you know

[TheRockfan68]

Whoa, lots of jealous Republicans commenting on this video. If it bothers you all so much, don't look at it! The only people that consider Bush a good President are/were the billionaires, millionaires, big corporations and uneducated hillbillies. So, the rest of us middle-class and poor stand together and never missed a couldn't care less about us President. Good Riddance to him!

Why the fuck dont you dummies realise when a historic moment is a historic moment...with such a short history in the USA maybe some shut mouth may be appropriate!!!

@gavbag1234 You do realize that this is a form of propaganda as well right ? This is not just plain music or plain pleasure.

[gavbag1234]

@ToxinalX

Nah man, it's when we're not discussing it in the comments of a U2 performance.

[ToxinalX]

@gavbag1234 Sure. Sure. And when is that ? When Obama has been re-elected ?

[gavbag1234]

@ToxinalX

Buddy, I'm here because I wanted to see U2 play some songs. I have no interest in discussing America's "steal from the poor give to the rich" themed foreign policy and Economic models.

There's a time and a place for all that.

[ToxinalX]

@gavbag1234 Yes, let's discuss the wars. Let's discuss the poverty. Let's discuss the debt. Let's discuss the already too high taxes.

There's already been a lot of talk about "security". Security for who ?

What does it really mean to be brave ? Does isolationism and war make one brave ?

Let's discuss the very meaning of the word freedom. Do we really live in the "land of the free" ?

- What is it more precisely that we are free *from* ?
