Iremember when U2 played this on SNL in 2004 and they sounded exactly the same as when they were kids ,I choked up Bono was having fun singing this powerful tune written for his mom-a lovely tribute.
Always inspiring to see a band playing in a country other than their own and watching the reactions of the crowd, seeing they know all the lyrics, etc.
@CastletoKarma Absolutely and this is what U2 needs to do again - even though they are tired - One last album of sincere teenage energy is what is needed - and then I'll let them go after all - they deserve their pipes and slippers at this stage
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was in a trance of thrashing around with my eyes shut and completely without realizing it I had turned the volume up to ten. The volume hitting the end stop was what snapped me out.
@freydey nah..best was when they played Saturday Night Live - they played at the end of the show and the cast on the side stage looked GENUINELY excited to see them. Bono goes in to the crowd and starts lapdancing one member of the audience. Go watch and see - incredible energy from band, crowd, and cast.
Wow! And to think the lads came up this when they were so young. Magic! Side comment: Having 60,000 people screaming at-for-with you must have some effect on you. Hard to keep grounded in reality, I would imagine.
my best regards.."mon ami"...i don't think bono had mistaken..he knows perfectly,how to use and compine words from all around the world,in the right time...in the right song....right straight from their sources to point out something pure from it's place of nativity...so..i think he made it on purpose,..he made it right...besides he is a musician-composer! ciao amigo..:-)
Ok, but according to all known 'records' of their development, I Will Follow was not performed until the Boy tour, autumn 1980, and, according to some info, I Will Follow was written about three weeks prior to going into the studio to record the Boy album, and, Out of Control was written by Bono on his 18th birthday, according to Bono, apparently,.....and, that would be 1978, not 1977. In 1977 they were called The Hype, it wasn't until March/April of 1978 that they called themselves U2.
@gicandg71 Lol not quite mate, its the San Siro in Italy which has a seating capacity of around 80,000 but obviously as people are on the pitch it will be a bit more. However i doubt there are 420,000 people on the pitch :)
@JimmyMcGovernBNBN Popmart Mexico is ok, but they didn't even do the slow part during that tour. I'd take just about any version over that. I think I'd vote for the Saturday Night Live version.
I love musicians who, after all those years still go all out into their music!
WOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!!!!🤟
One of their greatest performances, beyond a doubt. Inspired.
what an addictive riff this is!
The first one I ever learned on guitar.
Iremember when U2 played this on SNL in 2004 and they sounded exactly the same as when they were kids ,I choked up Bono was having fun singing this powerful tune written for his mom-a lovely tribute.
This is from their debut LP all those years ago, I think it sounds as good as ever, and I followed U2 back in those days.
love Bono's poise and presence in this performance..Pure showman.
He learned from the best: Bowie, Jagger, Cash, Lynott, Mercury. Bono said he became a proper singer after he met Sinatra.
Is there anyone with me here listening to this in 2022. Love these Irish lads!!🇮🇪
"Walk away, Runaway, I will follow".... and they did, andvthey will again in 2020. Keeping The World Free Always 👍⭐🙏👊😘🌎
The Edge is shredding it, serious energy here.
I love this song preformed live, U2 is still the best live band preforming today. ❤️

U2 with or without you
"A boy tries hard to be a man..."
Awesome lyrics. I'll follow U2 all the way baby!
Love the album version of this song and this performance has such a great sound..clear and full..Bono's voice fills that place up!
the dude at 1.13 makes me smile every time.. he is having the time of his life!!!

Italians..we do it like that!
Me too I laugh..looks like he having fun
Dont forget, from their FIRST album release "Boy" from 1979 - 80 and still, it still sounds as good ever. Doesnt that say something about U2?
Probably my favorite U2 song. You have to play it LOAD!!!!!!
The Edge é um animal 🤘(This a punk rock)

I was in a trance of thrashing around with my eyes shut and completely without realizing it I had turned the volume up to ten. The volume hitting the end stop was what snapped me out.

The song has different lyrics live....any idea what the changes are? I know in the second stanza they change
3:56 "agape!".
There`s more depth to U2 than meets the eye. Look up "agape" in Wikipedia.
@gicandg71 Lol not quite mate, its the San Siro in Italy which has a seating capacity of around 80,000 but obviously as people are on the pitch it will be a bit more. However i doubt there are 420,000 people on the pitch :)
idk about stronger but Bono does seem to sound alot clearer these days now that they're recording a new album!
U2 wrote "Miami"
@Georgikinz well spotted, he played this guitar at Red Rocks back in the day as well!
so many people thats over 500.000 !!!
In love with min. 3:21!!! I´m here! waiting for you! ;)
it was feedback first and then the hype
Bono is soooooooo HANSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@JimmyMcGovernBNBN Popmart Mexico is ok, but they didn't even do the slow part during that tour. I'd take just about any version over that. I think I'd vote for the Saturday Night Live version.
best i will follow: Elevation tour, 2001, Boston DVD
1:15 THE BOY WITH PINK BANDANA MAKES ME SMILE
