- U2 - Running to stand still/Where The Streets Have No Name.
Zoo TV from Sydney (1993).
Nobody´s perfect, except this tour from U2.
No copyright infringement intended
I watch these two videos every single morning for my daily dose of strength. I'm on my 12th day clean from smoking methamphetamine for the last 30 years. U2 and God and 4 months of hard work in a program have helped set me free by lifting the struggle off my shoulders. I'm finally a happier person. I love God, Jesus, my family and U2 ❤.
The greatest 10 minutes you can spend on UA-cam.
This was great. When I saw them at Foxboro, MA they did the acoustic set to a dark stage to Streets. Mind blowing.
I agree and I haven’t even listened to it.
100%
There are many greatest 10 mins from U2
you are fucking right magical
How does this ONLY have 1.8M views? Is everyone else deaf???
The moment when U2 firmly established themselves as the best band in the word and have held the title ever since. Aint nobody even close for 30 years
They were indeed great at that time. They peaked with Achtung and Zooropa. But the last 20 years have been very subpar.
I watched this As an 11yo. This what hooked me to them (u2) these two songs. I never saw anything like it. So haunting and theatrical
@agardad386
I heard their first album, or it might have been a CD, but I could hear that they were something special. The best performance with Bono sings Running to Stand Still.I have grown more in touch with the way he tries and spreads the ability of us collectively to help each other for we are all one. God bless U2 and the rest of the world. \m/❤
@@davidbrandt966 as a fan, a really fan I don't understand. I hated zooropa. But where you ever on a concert? See 2001, live at Slane Castle. They are the greatest Band alive.
This truly is U2 at the absolute pinnacle of their career in my opinion. I was only 8 years old when this tour was happening so I unfortunately never got a chance to see the Zoo TV tour. I’ve seen them multiple times in my lifetime and they are one of my favorite bands but I still come back and watch these live performances from this tour and I’m always so blown away. I can’t imagine what an experience it was to see them live during this era.
Saw them twice. Great shows. The joshua tree tour, was a great show.
If you think that shit is the pinnacle of their career you must be young or deaf. Shame on you u2.
You’re so right man. I was only 10-11 when zootv was going around. I’m sorry I wasn’t a few years older but I’m so grateful to be able to watch this video daily lol.
I’ve watched this 11 minutes probably 1000 times over the past 20 years. And I’ve gotten goosebumps every single time. Absolutely incredible.
You are not alone.
God walked in the room, and is STILL walking in the room
Absolutely agree!
Best song on earth
Good to know I'm was never alone in this!😀
We all know what a sunrise 'looks like'... This is what a sunrise 'sounds like'... 🌅❤️
Beautiful!
Wowww. I love that! Might have to steal it.
There’s definitely something spiritually stirring about the intro to this song. It’s a gospel song.
That feeling every U2 fan gets from the first synthesizer chord of Streets
CHILLS. That space cadet glow!
It's like thunder on a raining night
Denise Armstrong like all the colors of a royal flush. lol
No matter how many times you hear Streets come in after Running To Stand Still from this show, it is always enough to bring a tear of joy to the eye. This performance will never be beaten. Pure genius
Casey Decker I have ALWAYS loved this version of "Running to Stand Still"
This is whats called "Capturing the moment"......A band at the apex of their careers. A timeless tour and this here is the greatest performance of this song ever recorded.
They took off with the Joshua tree
randy touchet yes they did, and nearly broke up after reaching those heights. The advent of the 90’s brought a new challenge for them which they took to a new level. This tour and concert WAS and IS the apex of their career. They captured and owned that moment like no other band. Amazing concert.
What about Rattle and hum? I believe his voice was in a better shape.
You all prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any help you can give me.
@Will Paxton Instablaster =)
When those opening chords of Streets play....
Never gets old.
goosebumps...every time...
Flooding the house with light on the fat downbeat after the full groove kicks in is one of the supreme "rock & roll" moments of any live concert I've ever seen.
T-T
The best intro i ever heard.
Truly
yeah 27 years since the first time i heard the song and got goosebumps and every fucking time i hear this song still.
What was truly great about this transition was that Achtung Baby was a million miles away from The Joshua Tree yet the band stood by those great songs, reworked them for the tour and gave them a new life of their own to fit in with the ZOO TV concept - genius.
Bono has one of the most emotive voices of all time.
u2mixer yes man, I was there at the Anaheim stadium in1992, the best concert of my entire life.
u2mixer 6:42 agree
We wont realise how good they are, until they are gone.
I've always loved and will always love U2, but I agree some people just don't value, now with the pandemic I think I will invest loads of money to be able to go to another U2 concert, whenever it is possible again, IF we ever have the chance again...
u2 will never be gone
We know they are good, but once they are gone people will be making books and tributes, movies, etcétera.
So true
If I had 12 minutes left to live, I’d live the first 11mins and 17 seconds listening to this
This may be the pinnacle of all professionally recorded moments in U2 history.
If I had to introduce U2 to an alien or convert a hater this is the clip I’d show.
I saw the Joshua Tree tour concert in 2018 and that was probably just as amazing.
It’s right up there with
I was there. I was 13 years old. Life changing experience.
@e mika me too
This song is about loss of friends because of drugs. This right here ladies and gentlemen is the very best version of this song ever recorded.
Everyone's bashing U2; how boring and bland they've become.
In many ways they are right.
But remember them at this stage; the best band in the world.
They made history with this tour, the most groundbreaking, but also the most soulful spectacle in rock.
It always will be.
And this video catches the exact highlight of that tour, which is then the highlight of U2's career.
I love this.
As big and moving as rock gets.
U2 + Daniel Lanois + Brian Eno. That collaboration was really special.
I'm a huge fan of U2, but after Zooropa it's all been kind of bland. The bassist and Edge need to get together and create unique sounds again. I think the bassist has lost passion and is going along for the ride. He was a big part of their sound.
For several years considered the best rock band in the world (most magazines like eg Rolling Stone. Their concerts are still sold out. Even my daughter (18) is a huge fan. Maybe their old, they still got the spirit.
@@JayZoop zoo was my first U2 CD. So badass!!@ but I fucking love these guys
They got older that's all.
This makes todays music look ridiculous
Absolutely for sure!😂😂😂😂
Uhhuhhhh! THIS IS music...❤ Much of it, is bearly that
Absolutely
You win for the most accurate, most honest, comment of this generation.
❤
Thanks a lot Larry Mullen Jr, adam Clayton, the edge and BONO. FROM THIS THEME
In my opinion running to stand still is such an underrated song and I feel like this just proves my point.
4:50 to 6:05 best musica transition in history of mankind!!!
Incredible
Dani F agreed
Its emotional never a dry eye great times.
2023 and this is still the most brilliantly haunting beautiful live U2 moment ever. Cannot wait to see them in a few months. Praying they play this ZooTV version of RTSS
Você tem muita sorte , de poder vê-los ao vivo . Eu infelizmente provavelmente nunca terei essa honra ... se divirta muito !
I just replay the transition from 4:50 to 6:30 over and over. Greatest transition in the history of live music. Chills every time.
Yes the best
Nailed it 🤌🏻🤌🏻🎯
I;m completely with you. However, their gorgeous transition from the intense, brooding take on "Please" moving into "Where the Streets Have No Name" during the Popmart tour was astonishing and haunting. My best to you.
Absolutely brother
You forgot All I Want Is You and WTSHNN at Slane Castle 2001
There are concerts, and there is a U2 concert.
I think this is the greatest beginning to a song live I have ever seen. The smoke, the lights, the strobe, that intro, then Edge's classic guitar riff. It is just a masterpiece. I have seen this dozens of times and it still gives me goosebumps. Epic in massive proportions.
I completely agree! Outrageously cool! i remember watching the DVD yonks ago. I still think they are one of the best live shows i have been to see. I wish i could have been there!
I love the way the lights fade out as Bono slowly walks back, then fade in red like the dawn of a new day. Absolutely, chillingly beautiful part of the concert. I doubt that concerts even exist like this anymore.
I've always felt the exact same way about this version and I've been a fan since the 80s and seen them live over 20 times.
I couldn't have said it better myself - by far the best live rendition of any song I can think of, an utter legend.
You're absolutely right! I LOVE the way they mixed 'Streets' - kinda muddled, but perfect anyway, with Adam's thundering bass - it makes for a sort of 'techno' feel. The rush from when Edge starts playing the intro to when the flashing lights come is immense...I always seem to rewind to the start when Bono starts singing. It must be the ultimate intro ever.
the dramatic lighting, Edge's piercing guitar notes. one of their best videos ever.
Quite simply the best tour of all time. It changed the way stadium shows were done.
You simply had to be there on that tour. We Aussies always loved them. They always played at the next level here.
@@johnkerr1957 Absolutely
Brisbane was my favourite, with the pissing down rain, but this nite i can watch over and over again
Zoo TV was my first U2 concert amd it was one of the best nights of my life
5:40 so this is what a sunrise sounds like. ^^
YES!! I always imagine a sunrise with an air-plane taking off when I hear this sound!!!
This what going to heaven sounds like.
I get goosebumps during that transition into “Where The Streets Have No Name” every fucking time. The smoke, the lights, and Bono’s harmonica bring “RTSS” to a close. Bono coolly walks back to the main stage and glances back to the crowd one more time before the lights are killed. Then it gets even more awesome as the lights come on when those opening notes of WTSHNN hit. Oh my fucking god this is a top notch rock concert no doubt.
I still get those goosebumps too. This transition is brilliant. Add that light show at tge start of WTSHNN and it's glorious🦋🦋🦋🍀💚🤍🧡🇮🇪
Me too, every single time, but this version is something else. Incandescent.
Same here 🙂
I was there that night. Unbelievable
Summed up perfectly, and I must have watched this a thousand times, breathtaking performance
Epic interpretation of RTSS, but the transition into Streets with the Harmonica and then the synth of Streets has and always will goosebump the hell of me only to get go even higher when Edge hits those pre intro Harmonics, what a show, what a tour, what a catalogue of songs, what a band
I agree 100%. This was this best rock show of all time. And these ten minutes were the highlight of the whole fucking tour. Except from the uploader of this video, who ruined the sound with his 'upgrades'.
I concur. The segue from RTSS to WTSHNN is just magical
Well said my u2 loving brother from another mother ✊
This is my favourite version of Running to stand still. The recurring guitar bit gives it something extra the other versions don't have.
Yeap!!
Totally agree. Edge is subtle but powerful in this version.
bad singing but nice drama
@@LondonMoscowwashington nah, this was Bono in his true heyday.
@@trr9230 no
I've seen U2 ten times but I'd give them all up just to have been old enough to go to this gig, amazing
I always say this!
Saw this concert in Cardiff. Sad thing is I knew then I would never see anything better than that.
Saw this concert live when I was 15, and have been a lifelong fan ever since. These two songs in particular just moved me in a profound way.
Saw them on the zooropa tour in the RDS in Dublin on a hot Irish summer night, very memorable.I was 18 and in love with an southern American girl. We are still together at 50. Love, true love is eternal, go out and find it. Fuck tinder and all that hook up cŕap,look for the real thing.
No cell phones, hallelujah good times. 🎉
Greatest group of all time. Period. I was lucky enough to see them 3 times!!!
I was lucky to meet Bono and Edge in 2001 in San Jose, California. One of the best times in my life!
Incredible licks by the edge, this guy has always been incredible....🎸💥 for the last 45 years!
PERFECTION: Edge's chiming guitar, Bono on form, the synth bass line, the keyboards, the imagery, the atmosphere, the lights, the smoke, the concert, the band, the boys - U2.
ZOO TV is timeless - they could tour with that stage show tomorrow and it would sell out in minutes!
God bless U 2.
Aaaand I hope they bring it back in Vegas this fall!! I'll be there again, hoping to recapture the magic of this tour.
U2`s finest tour, Bono`s outfits are just nutty-lol
I brought my daughter aged 10 in 1993 to the Rds in Dublin Ireland for her first u2 concert. What an amazing u2 performance. Out of this world. 🎵❤️🎶🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪
Best version ever 😍 love the build up too where the streets have no name / orgasmic 😂
Larry when he is smiling just sums it up caught in that incredible moment knowing this probably there best ever gig.
I still think this is Willie Williams' finest work. That stage just blew everything else off the planet.
What a special moment, great time to be a
alive…This is an amazing version of streets..tough call this, slane castle or Boston 2001.
Or "Please"+"Where the streets have no name" during Popmart Tour.. Fantastic!!!
Bono singing running to stand still,so poignant,getting across that it could be any one of us, and not to mock the afflicted,somehow saying we should all try to help each other,absolute genius,certainly knows how to connect, a man of the people.He gets my vote,everytime.Long live U2
Bono lived right next to the neighborhood this song was written about in Dublin. He played in the structures of the seven towers when they were being built. So thus Bono is singing from his heart.
MR. TROY. I think bono said a few years ago that only three of those towers are standing today
Richard Sheehan pretty sure they’ve all been knocked now
I have said it before and will say it again.....the best live concert there has ever been
Can I get an amen
I submit for exhibit B - Depeche Mode- SOFAD Tour.... also, wow.
This is great but Slane Castle was better
@Hallucination each to their own😄 but yeah Slane Castle did look decent tbf
@@Hallucinationyour coming to a rock n roll gig and watching television what more do you want.
Could be the best 11 minutes on UA-cam..............
This Is A Symbol Of An Unseen Powerful Love Beneath The Skin.. 🧬..👣
Thanks for the great love ❤️ and support you show me as a special fan of mine😍, I hope you won't stop listening to tracks , and thanks for your sincere
Compliment and love towards my tracks ❤️may God bless you.
My first U2 Concert! At the Sydney Football Stadium, what a Magical night! SO blessed to have experienced it first hand. I remember Bono apologizing for the price of the Tickets saying he didn't expect we'd have to pay that much ($120) .. Best money ever spent!
Every time the streets intro starts it just hits the soul
Back in 87, just a month or two after the huge single Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For was on the radio like every 2 hours, they came to the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan where they play football and 80,000 people pack in. There was easily 60,000 because of the stage setup at the end of the stadium, and my girlfriend and I copped front row seats, and they started the entire show with the lights going black and the crowd going nuts, and then slowly started the opening notes for Streets.
I want to tell you man, that place went absolutely bedlam. That song was the first song they released on our radio from Joshua Tree, then next was With or without You. Which was getting huge huge MTV airplay Then the single that everybody had just been hearing a lot was Still haven't found what I'm Looking For.
They actually played all three of those songs right off the bat. It was just unbelievable
Streets intro hits and I cry everytime guaranteed
sometimes I wonder do people realise how good they really are
I often wonder the same thing; I don't think they do.
i dont know if they are really that good. they are good but i dont know if they are spectacular. they have this strength in feablness but sometimes it is a bit cheesy and falls flat on its face. but in terms of humility relative to other big bands their ability to show vulnerability is unprecedented....in this respect as a measure, they are great.
Elinor Taylor I totally agree
Dara
Your'e fucking right.
God loves U2 , and you too.✌👍.
Dara people love to put them down especially some irish people I'm irish myself and am really proud they are from Dublin amazing band
This is one of the most profound performances of all time...
Amen
I was there in the middle of that. It was incredible, you'll never see production on this scale again. They had to get permission from the airport to put that stage up.
how to even put into words. completely naked and artisitic moment executed in front of thousands of people with zero guardrails and no parachute. this is what made U2 U2, especially during this time period. they were not the beatles. they were not the stones. they were not zep, the doors, the who, the kinks, or the pistols or even the clash. but nobody, i mean nobody, was more amazing at being U2 than U2 during this window.
3:33 When your front man connects with his fellow band members and draws out the emotions of the drummer. They are truly ONE.
Hallelujah part shows how powerful Bono's voice still was back then!
just cant get enough of this version of 'running to stand still'
This performance is phenomenal! I always get chills with this song when I listen to it with my eyes closed. It always makes me cry.
Amen sister
Zoo TV the best gig I ever saw. U2 in their prime
The ending video when they were young... mskes me cry all the time!.
The angels make music; and U2 seems to listen, then hear, then decipher for the world.
"...we all shine on!" -JWL
The GREATEST band in the history of music!!!
There are so many... Love them. But I love Pink Floyd too. Or the old Genesis or The Cure or Dinosaur Jr. or ....
Amen
Live in Sidney the best concert of my life
Absolutely incredible! No words can express how amazing this band is, WOW!
Why does it make me cry always?
Now here’s the thing with U2 concerts: you cannot help yourself from singing along and dancing during the entire show. It’s just one big party! Thanks very much to Paul, Dave, Adam and Larry for sticking around for so long 👍🏻
Still to this day, the very best live version of this song!
the Sydney concert ...... u2 at their best
Awesome! Don't know why they ever dropped this from their set list. This version takes your breath away with Edge banging away at the electric guitar. The man is a fookin genius!
Fave song next to Bad and definitely favorite concert. Never forget that runway with the belly dancer for Mysterious Ways, then Adam Clayton meets her on this tour and frickin MARRIES her. Wow guess things do work in mysterious ways cuz he was almost outta there, then got turned back around. Crazy how life works.
freeedom29
Pretty sure it was The Edge that married the dancer :)
Matthew Bird
Yeah, amazing to think that he was engaged to her - I think she must have seen the original 'naked Adam' cover of Achtung Baby and been impressed lol. Recommend you listen to Jack White's cover of Love is Blindness (if you havent already). I dont normally like other artists covering U2 but this is awesome!
spectacular! a direct bond between performers and spectators and 100% focus. Too bad cell phones destroyed this era.
The definitive version of Running to a Standstill - Just Wow
I was there for both Sydney concerts, minus Adam on the first night. This concert rocked!! Was one of the most memorable of all their concerts I've seen. Noticed the absence of mobile phones which should be banned today.
How was it?
This concert changed my life as a kid. I really saw how music can really move you and showed me emotions that I didn't even know I had at 12.
Were you there in Sidney??
@@talltree3941 no, I saw it on pay per view. It came out when I was around 11 or so.
jon siewert oh ok. I got the dvd some years ago. It was an awesome concert indeed. I have watched them live also. Great band.
Agreed. I was the same age as you when this was released and it was life changing, showed me emotions I never knew existed. For me, this tour will always be the most incredible. The visual arts, the way the band brought the stage to the crowd, which was never done before. Simply incredible concert from start to finish ❤️
This never gets old
best concert ever, best combi ever, just listen to the end where Bono sings his Hallelujah, and then Edge plays the intro of Where the streets...then the crowd is jumping and Bono screams I wanna run...
really makes me c-r-y every single time I hear it!! from happiness, and beauty, and feeling so well! goose bumbs!!
I wish they would bring this combo back for their next tour. It's probably my favourite live U2 moment ever!
Stadium rock perfection, and what a voice that is
Putting an ad in the middle this is criminal. The band were at their peak here for me.
The despair and all the Hope of humanity turned into ten minutes of music ❤ mind blowing
Caught this tour 5 times - two nights in Glasgow, one night in Cork and two nights in Dublin. Best tour ever and this was the absolute highlight!
2 nights at celtic park and seen them the year before in the indoor leg of the zoo tv,amazing!!!!
+Michael Kelly
Yeah I caught them at the SECC the year before as well. I had to sleep in the queue. Luckily the staff at the SECC let us sleep in a hall and we were able to listen to the Cher concert in an adjacent hall.
lol no way me and mates slept in the hall as well got the tickets saturday morning,fantastic times x
Michael Kelly
I still have my wristband that the SECC gave out to stop any queue-jumping. I was sat near a crowd with a guitar who spent the whole night belting out U2 songs.
honestly i always remember about 3 in the morning everyone belting out 40,me and my mates couldn't have been far from you x
Was at a zooropa concert and remember the same introduction with that great light Fantastic my favourite U2 track !
Their entire back catalogue is better live than the album version. And Running to Stand Still is probably, in my humble opinion, their best example. Still gives me goosebumps all these years later.
Bono vox is a great artist, great singer and a great lyricist.
This stage was the best of all u2's and their shows were always great.
U2 already has its name in history and Bono Vox has immortalized itself as a great artist and a great human being.
I was 15, my first concert and it was U2 In Paris. What a gift, what an experience, what a shock, what a voice, what a band, my best concert ever!!! Thank you U2 for these sensations, these unique feelings... you rock my heart... forever!❤️❤️❤️
Amazing and so inspiring! Can't wait for Vegas 🙂
God I love this song.
Watching this on VHS as a teenager, this specific song, changed me as a person. It sounds stupid. But it pulled out emotions that I didn’t even know were possible. I’ve listened 1000s of time since then, and It still utterly consumes me. Everything about the performance just comes together so perfectly. And the words…god. I feel this song in my soul and I’m so thankful it exists.
These were their best shows. I saw both the arena and stadium versions. Outstanding.
True. August 16, 1992 at RFK in DC. 14 years old. First concert.
U2's set list during the Zoo tour was nothing short of magical-especially the transitions. With "Running to a stand still" you have Bono kneeling and pleading for help metaphorically from a heroin battle, emphasized with smoke flares signaling an SOS. Finally finding hope and redemption with the opening chords of "Where the streets have no name" to pull him out of the darkness.
@Jim I was British Soldier Serving in Northern Ireland ( as I prefer to call it Ireland) u2 gave me hope throughout albums such as WAR and BOY. We hoped one day I as a Celt .(Scots Black watch Royal Highland Regiment) we could find something we could agree on. I spent a few hours in a bar in South Armagh, (Bandit Country) where bombs were built such as manchester and canary wharf. not to mention all those used to kill civilians of both divides. we drank we laughed and we listened to U2 we both knew who were were, but for those few hours we were no longer enemies, we were on armistice. I saw the Zoo Tv Tour when they played round hey park in Leeds. it was every bit as good as all the others just as large just as spectacular and just has hopeful and for some of us. tear jerking in parts. we all paid a huge price back in the 80's and 90's let's hope we have moved on from that since we all face a much less political enemy and now a real religious one that just wants to watch the World Burn.
Love what you said here
Shame the Black Watch weren't all decent folk like yourself.
Still one of my favorite performances I've ever seen. Just a spectacular show, concept, tour, and period for one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
9:17 for me has always had a real special meaning. Bono acknowledging his former self. It was clear U2 had to move on from that Joshua Tree/Rattle and Hum era, and one could be forgiven for thinking they would want no part of who they once were. But at that moment, it's like Bono waves to his inner child and says "it's ok. I liked what you were doing, and we're still doing it today".
Simplest guitar riff Edge has ever played , while being the most haunting at the same time.
1st saw U2 on 21 Aug 93 At Wembley Stadium during the Zoo TV tour and part on the B stage inc these songs was beyond description. Looking at this video from the same period I know that my memories are solid and I wasn't imagining how great they were then.
Epic. Such an impact with 'Running to stand still', NOT finishing the song and making a slam dunk with 'Where the streets have no name'. Epic indeed.
The openings of streets....... Goosebumps! ..... Every time
Best live band in the word !!!
In my humble opinion this is the best fase of bono's voice! on the right key. Early stage he does too much of higher notes, now he defends too much and in that stage he was perfect.
And that music, holly crap, there's no way you heart doesn't pumping
I remember watching this countless times on VHS back when I was 8, and this is the first time I've watched it since, it still kicks the fuck out of it!!! That intro blows my head every time
Pure brilliance..🤣🤣..
I was at that concert 21 years ago...time flies
lucky you
You lucky sob, how was it? Has the 'Streets' version been altered? I mean, they played it so hard and intense...the place must have been on fire!
You too what more can you really say bunch of friends that grew up in the same city went to high school together formed the band stayed true to the music {period} if anybody ever wants to read a good book read the spiritual journey of you too great book great knowledge
This is the point, when a show is bigger than the band! And that was 30 years ago! The Times are a changing...
