And THIS my friends, is why U2 is one of the greatest rock bands of the world!
Still beautiful and inspiring after more than 40 years. Thanks, U2
Incredible. Takes me back to when I was 16. Bono's voice was like a choir. Jesus, they were so good back then.
😊
This is awesome. I was 13 when I first heard "I Will Follow" around 1980 and it shaped my musical tastes dramatically. I was a bit of an outsider embracing U2 in those days, but I've never looked back. This period of their career was magical, powerful and ballsy. There was certainly more to come. Thanks for sharing.
These were the good Ol days. I'd go back in a millisecond.
Awesome MAN
Whow What Song I Will Follow 100%
Never Band Like U2
Except America S, Dan n Doobies Yeh Ireland Fanatic
Recorded in 1982 and has better fidelity than modern rock.
I wish I was that mature and thoughtful when I was 21. The confidence Bono had at that age, on and of the stage, is remarkable.
Может быть и был бы таким, имея такие вокальные данные как у него
Pride in his thoughts ❤
It's remarkable to me that Bono had a vision for their local culture and the world and a sense of what the band would/not be at such young age and expressed it so poetically. Not many songwriters would write about tough times for the purpose of finding the joy and optimism that can come of it, especially at that age. At 13:28 Adam and Larry have no idea what he's talking about. Edge is listening and catching on somewhat. Whatever thoughts they have now about activism, justice, etc., likely started with hearing Bono bursting at the seams with what he wanted to see change in the world. I am a stronger, more resilient activist because of what I've heard and watched Bono say and do over the years.
BreatheFree yes i had the same thoughts that Adam looked clueless like wtf are you talking about but at the same time thinking this guys gunna be our lead speaker
what was the words that Edge says that makes them laugh around that same part of the video? more like 14:00 I think..
To me it's not so much a reaction of being clueless as it is "here he goes again..." Probably not the first time Bono went off on a tangent and certainly not the last. All of which makes U2 U2.
Bono's father was a very bright man, taught himself Opera and was a great singer apparently, but sadly didn't encourage Bono much and even sold the family piano which pissed him off.
Bond is the King of Ireland...
I wish U2 would play more of these old classics on tour these days like "Celebration" and "Rejoice" and "Eleven O'clock tick tock"....
And “ I threw a brick through a window “ great song!
How can u not like bono somebody that is that smart and a good person
Sadly the world has allot of narcissists in it ...and power hungry liers fooling the masses of uneducated weak minded poor
James Adcock agreed.,a great Irishman..person
Because is a globalist threat. He isn't even american and yet uses his influence to dictate politics in that country. He would kill catholic church if it was for him.
Tour. Truly the most important band since 1980. They created a sound in rock that wasn't there before. They were the future.
Gloria
Another time another place
October
I will follow
A celebration
11 o’clock Tick Tock/give peace a chance
Superbly performed by a young band who even then were already one of the best live acts around.
When Larry Mullen still had vocal cords
Before Bono's incessant talking and interrupting had made him lose them.
"look, you started me off now" 14:11 magical emotional Bono moment from Bono after a great speech. No words can describe that look he gives to the camera... war album was already brooding inside of him and they were about to be grand.
jesus christ well said , same thoughts as mine...Bono was a one of a kind , one of a kind
I loved his little mock song: "we're out of work, we're out with nothing to do". Wonder who in particular he had in mind.
My goodness, love the way you've said it! Same thoughts here. He was so revolted and took it all personally, all injustice in the world - he wanted to make everything right and to help everyone. So young, yet so profund and mindful Bono! Such a man is born once in a lifetime!
That look at the end may have meant something like, "Just watch and see what we're going to do about all of this!"
wow. exactly. How perfectly you expressed that.
“A Celebration” was one of their great singles.
I’ve recently reflected on this song because it is one of my favorites. There is a certain energy to it. Although it was released before the War album it feels like it’s a blend of their songs from War and post Joshua Tree. A certain pop post punk blend. It’s one of their best.
jesus christ ! Bono's speech about October ...wow ! how passionate and smart he was
MY LETTER TO U2-1987
I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono!
I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage!
I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations.
Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year!
All the Best!
Gary Lagstrom
THE BEST BAND OF THE WORLD FOREVER!
Saw U2 for the first time in 1982 for £10 seen the band several times upto the Joshua tree tour best live band ever then in my opinion ...
Damn they rocked even as kids...awesome, and Edge...same as today...they all are!!! Turn it up!!!
Thank you for this priceless piece.
BTW -- I would pay whatever the ticket cost if they toured just playing Boy/October/War. Anyone with me??(OR, did what Springsteen did on Broadway -- in their own, U2 kinda way)
35 years later and the message is still the same. Props.
JoeJacobyforHallofFame nah they are suck ups to big money and politicians
Incredible. Thank you for sharing. I've loved U2 all my life and only just saw them live for the first time in Las Vegas last year for my 39th birthday, which is 2 days before Bono's birthday. I was practically front row and they looked at me several times. Bono and The Edge actually waved at me (well, Edge nodded his head) then the 2 posed for photos for me while on stage! It was truly a magical evening and the tickets were all courtesy of a good friend and the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. I love U2's earliest works of music, even when they were just 4 punk rock lads in a band called Feedback. The evolution of this band really impacted my life deeply all throughout my childhood and teen years when "Achtung Baby" was released. That album rescued me in many ways... It remains to be one of my top 5 favorite albums of all time and I think it was years ahead of its time. Even now as an adult at 40, I still love U2. This set reminds me of their "Live: Under A Blood Red Sky" 1983 live album from their performance at Red Rocks, Colorado (USA), one of their best performances in the 1980's. It's basically the same song set. Thank you again so much for sharing this. God bless you.
🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
willfade 79 I have a FB friend who was at Red Rocks that night. I am so jealous! I was lucky to meet the band back in April 1987 on the original Joshua Tree Tour. They were friendly and funny guys and took the time to talk to us fans after the gig even though I’m sure they were tired. I’m so glad this has been shared, I think a lot of younger fans have no clue what an awesome band they were when starting out. I’ve been a fan since 1982, and am thankful that I got to see them before megastardom. ❤️
Legendary, even at 22 yeard old!!!!
Bono has a spiritual awareness that's why he speaks like that.....
Its no often you see A celebration live
1982 - Year of the great Irish hair conditioner shortage.
that's from the Graham show😂😂😂
I was thinking of that line as I watched the interview!
“Gloria” sounds just as good now
I love Bono and always will. He is a great man. Loves his wife and children and will never be swayed by anyone else. What a man! I love you Bono xx
Yeah, really? He bought $70 million dollars worth of Facebook Stock at the IPO and got an insider price and made a Billion dollars of that inflated stock. What a greedy guy! Along with his buddy Suckerbucks who donated 400 million to Joes campaign and installed Joe. What a nightmare and rotten Regime that is! A disaster! Doubled the Rent in one year for many people. And tripled the Gas prices since Trump. Then opened the Border so 20 million criminals, gang members and drug smugglers can come in and kill Americans. Thanks Suckerbucks! Bono’s good buddy. Yuck!
The Edge has a one of a kind unique guitar sound... I love these guys!!!
Listen to his guitar in isolation and just how wildly different he is really stands out
I think The edge was heavily influenced by the likes of Tom Verlaine of Television and John McGeoch who was in many different new wave groups including John Lyndon's PIL and "Siouse and the banshees"...other punk/new wave guitarists and bands who influenced the edge...the dead Kennedys..the Ramones...the police..the damned...gang of 4s Andy Gill was also an influence on the edge (as well as red hot chilli peppers)....another huge influence was joy Division .. songs like "no love lost" would have influence the edge greatly...I've heard a radio session version of "no love lost" and the guitar sounds very like edges heavily delayed effect sound from u2s first two albums
Fender through Vox ac30, delay etc. Loved his sound on Unforgettable Fire, the tone he had on that album was brilliant.
We are U2ers for 32 years and still counting...thanks for that video
i been into them for 31 years since i was 13. x
Remarkable Live performance recording quality Sound with dynamic energetic genuine super Cathedral Echo Sound!
U2 Interviews are Timeless
"it was so close we were blind" thats what elephant was about in 1989
14:05 Bono writing Acrobat in 1982 caught on camera. Incredible.
I was nine years old when this was on tv. I was a fan immediately and never stopped.
I was 18.5 years but U2 were excellant. However, that young girl from the audience, what a spontaneous reaction. Brilliant. Great set of hips
Wow.. even in ‘82 they were a great live band when it came to improving their songs
2nd only to the beatles but my favourite band of all time. Their songs were pure genious of another time another place
Gloria is such a great song.
Gosh they were so young
2 years later and they'd be performing at Wembley.
Three---1985
@@jude999 Take a chill 💊 and RELAX !
@@davidellis5141 😆
The vocals in October give me a special feeling especially in the second “you go on”
Edge with hair.
And got on his boots.
He was 19
@@light106year6 No, not in 82. He was 20. He'd turn 21 three months later
Bono is and was an amazing person. And pretty cute back then.
Most bands never find their own signature sound. Most guitar players only dream of their own signature sound. Most bands break up & change members. Most bands have little longevity. And Most bands don't ever have a hit, let alone multiple hits. Well, this is NOT most bands.
Best bass tone ever with the Ibanez.
Brilliant live performance. I've seen U2 five times since 2001. Wish I'd seen them around this era.
Bonos 1st daughter definitely looks like him,😁This is when I first knew this amazing Band, takes me back to better days💕Love bonos hands on hips Irish dancing ,and his voice doesn't sound as Irish anymore like it did when he was younger, anyone else notice that ? I'll love him forever 😍😍😘
he doesn't soundor have the Dublin accent.. i would say he sounds like a southern dublin (posh area) now a days.. a big change anyway..children sound the same..
4 GREAT IRISH GUYS BEGIN TO ROCK ALL OVER THE WORLD INSIST AND PERSIST FOREVER!!!
This is the U2 I fell in love with all went downhill after the Joshua Tree for me
Because you are not smart, I guess
@@JohnSmith-rr2ti haha achtung and Zooropa were legendary and pop was good too they started going down hill in 2015 their most recent albums are ok but I mean what else can you expect their 60 years old like people get pissed off but their doing it for us so kids like me can see them live like making an album is the only way they can tour
Absolutely. Joshua Tree was beautiful. After that its like they became a U2 cover band.
You've missed out on some of their best work then.
Actung Baby was fire
I wish Larry hadn’t become so quiet! Would love to hear him speak more, he’s brilliant. I’m sure he has his reasons!
Image recording this performance broadcasted on radio at the time.. still got the tape, lol. Played a kazillion times on my walkman traveling to school.
U2 never stopped working in their first three years with Island Records. They appeared anywhere they could and always gave 100%, because they knew they could cut it live. There was no snobbery either. They were as passionate on teatime kid’s telly as they were on “serious” music programmes like Countdown or OGWT, and never looked down their noses at those younger audiences in the way that many English groups did. If they had struck an attitude, Island may well have either dropped them or cut their investment and ran down their contract.
Im the only one who see Princess Diana in the face of Bono when sings Gloria ?
yes!
LMFAO
That's probably the most random thing I've heard in a while
You don't know my Mum.
I loved this era of the band as they were similar to the Police: sophisticated punk music.
What happened to Edge's hair. Doesn't fall while you're doing what you like, right? All bussiness😢
How many fake concerts I have done with my brother on this music (under a blood red sky) with our tennis racket as guitar and empty laundry barrels as drums ? A lot !
U2 CHANGE THE WORLD!
larry has that drum kit beautifully tuned. x
They were SO good when they were young. Don't know what happened after the WAR album, but it wasn't the same for me.
They lost it at rattle and hum for me.
They started to be commercial and sold his principles and ideas
U2❤ good days discovering them in 1980
Excellent vid quality
I miss this times...
My 18th years, my friends, the gigs, fridays nigths girlfriends, ....wherever...
Good times remember 4 ever.
How this amazing band turn into the Vertigo band?
Who are these kids? Greatness.
There 60 years old now
Oh how I loved them back then💓💓💓💓
So who else has the Dutch 7" of the performance of "I Will Follow" from this show?
I do
always loved 11 oclock and the dancing....
Early U2 was matchless. They lost it by the time of Pop but I'm glad we got to enjoy it for as long as we did
Incredible footage and life long U2 classics, that still speak to me @ 50!!! 💚👍🏻
"I Will Follow" and "Gloria" did a lot to get them there, and maybe One kept them together.
What a great set. I wish I could go back in time a turn up the Edge's mic a little bit.
Than you for existing!
I was hooked on U2 when I first heard "I will follow", lol!!!!
Happy 60th Birthday Bono!
I still have my original tour shirts of WAR, The Unforgettable Fire, and Joshua Tree! My brother gave me his original Boy and October tour shirts so to me the 80’s were U2 at their finest!
They'll be worth a small fortune. 👍
no one can ever set foot on the moon
I was there and at the time did not realize how lucky I was to have been there.
Make no mistake Edge is one of the greatest British guitarists ( He's Welsh before you say he's Irish) he has a great touch, feel, and vision. Never overplays.
If he is welsh why did u call him a British guitarist if U2 is a Irish band 😂
@@mysticedge4 Because Wales is part of the UK. The same way i am British even though i was born in Cardiff Wales. It's really not hard to understand.
@@Mysterywhiteboy78some people just never get it do they, much support coming to you from Bridgend.
The Who were just starting their ''farewell tour'' that year and these guys were just getting warmed up. 1982 was a fun year for me.
My heart goes with, 11 o’clock Tick Tock !!!! i love U2's music but, 11 o’clock Tick Tock is my everything. I just wish i could play the song myself , as i am a Guitarist. I saw U2 at OU gaylord stadium Norman, Okla 2009. I was disappointed they did play 11 o’clock Tick Tock. but oh well.
A Celebration. Nice.
14:13
Looks like a squirrel is on the head of that bass player.

+ReelinInThe Years66 - This is brilliant, Thank you.
Stop making this guy a God. Been a fan since 82, they are great. But the comments in this section are beyond hero worship. By his own account he is an ego maniac that struggles with an enormous sense of self righteousness. He is human like the rest of us. In fact during this time the band was very selfish amd actually turned down Bob Geldof intially for Live Aid Because they wanted more time on stage.
Let these guys live their lives and make great music that moves people, but the elevation of Bono to a super human in these comments is just plain wrong.
Exactly. Like the guy, but once they sold out kinda showed me. Saw them many times. If they toured again, no thanks.
Some years back while driving from Houston, TX, back to my town, I was listening to a radio program and the host was a former radio DJ. And that was when he threw out this nugget.
One evening he and his wife were in a club in Dallas ( where he's from )
and it was a Wet T-shirt night, so anyway, they had a band playing there that night:
The band was U2
He mentioned that while listening to them play, his wife turned to him and said: .." They really are good
I get it. 👏❤️
Fuck yess
Yeah, but you're not politiical or anything like that, Bono. Haha. But it's just get music with great energy. Epic band.
Wonderful guys, this is THE U2!
Once they discovered irony and cynicism it was all over...
Cara!!! Imagina quem foi a esse show!!! Putz!! Coisa incrível!!! "October"... Que música!!!
The Edge with hair ! Awesome ! Their Prime.
Way before I was even born. Daamn!! How young they are!! Teenagers
I love the The Edge"s sound
TinTin0459 me too!
Is there a way to watch this without the watermark?
Back when they half-assed thought what they said was how they actually believed and wanted. Whereas today it's telling people how to think.
Adam looks uncomfortable with Bono’s definitions
Come on, Adam. Let someone else speak for a change.
OCTOBER is still my favorite U2 record. An Cat Dubh...
Great Track but it's on Boy.
@@davidellis5141 😂😂
October was my first U2 record and I became a fan right away. Have never seen much appreciation for it over the years, but I still think of it with affection.
I think October is (unfairly) the absolute most underrated of all U2 albums.
Massively underrated.
