I was there. I was about 20 feet from where the second girl was rescued from the crowd. Bono could see they where being crushed, and that's why he raced over to the second girl and jumped down himself, he could see she was being crushed. The entire mood of the day, was the only time in my life, like i literally felt like we the people, where more important than the music. It was incredible, there was nothing contrived about Bono dancing with that girl, it was just a day where, we literally tried to live and send, as much love and hope as possible, as twee as that sounds. I still have my Live Aid T-shirt, bought on the day, U2 were only bested by Queen, although to be fair, Queen at Live Aid, was voted the best rock performance of the 20th century. And it was. I am in my 50's now, but i remember it like yesterday..
☝️😳🗣I’m SPEECHLESS... what you experienced and put into words shook me.. I have tears.. no really... this was beautiful to read! ITS HUMANITY! Omg, I can’t Thankyou enough for commenting... I look for these random acts of kindness to remind myself that the world is not all bad. You commenting this made me feel that not ALL artists are self absorbed 🙏🙌💕
U2 were not bested by Queen .... Queen although were amazing, they played it safe and played the "hits" ... Mercury was extraordinary, but Bono risked it all ... his life, U2´s life and played 2 songs that were not "singles" ... "Sunday Bloody Sunday" would turn into a hymn but was not a hit, was not a single, and nor was "Bad" a new song on the recent album "The Unforgettable Fire" ... U2 could have played "New Years Day" / "Pride In The Name Of Love" / "I Will Follow" / "Gloria" and safelly recieve the recognition for their songs / hits .... They chose not to, they chose the meaning of the event instead of the predictable situation which would have been to glorify themselves (like Queen and everybody). U2 were unique that day ... and have always been ... U2 is the greatest band of all time.
@@rebecalinares5393 Well said. Completely agree. I’ve heard many people talk about that day and not one of them said what this guy did. It was a little strange.
Im Irish and I never respected U2 until I met a beautiful friend Aidan who was an ex heroin user and I fell in love!!! This buddy has now passed and this song salute's him!!!! Peace bud!!!!!!
I remember this like yesterday, bono was only 25 yrs old than and had a great vocal range and was coming off the Unforgettable Fire tour and loved to interact with the audience
Ive seen U2 live several times. Once in the ‘80’s and a couple of times in the ‘90’s. They were the hardest working band on the circuit. They gave 100% every time.
From a Little Rock on the western edge of Europe, Ireland , my home, really does produce amazing music. I'm Irish and so proud when I watch u2 do there thing.
Yep you should be U2 are one of a kind. With so many greats leaving the earth this year we should really cherish them: RIP Kobe; RIP Eddie Van Halen: RIP Diego Maradona!
And, because YOU are so nice, I will tell you some facts....the young man that hands Bono his microphone in this video, was a Maori (from NZ) named, 'Greg Carrol' who died in New Zealand in a motorcycle accident shortly after this show....subsequently, Bono wrote the song 'One Tree Hill' from the Album 'The Joshua Tree', and the group dedicated the entire album to him....The album won the Grammy for 'Album of the Year' 1987 and had 2 number one hits, 'With or WithOut You' and 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'... For my own personal self, I have seen u2 all over the world, been a fan for 40 years now....the best way I can sum up u2 is this...'U2-The Deeper you dig, the more you will like....' Cheers.
@@bonoman1987 👊❤️🗣Thankyou for taking the time to write such a beautiful, informative comment.. how tragic that such an album would come from Greg’s passing. You gave me another reason to love U2. I am deeply envious that you are so Bold to have traveled the world to see such an awe inspiring band such as U2! Be well and be safe
He still says God bless you, and thank you for the life you've given us. There will never be another band like U2, ever! They will go down in history as the greatest band in history!
The whole world had a party to watch this concert together. It may be the one time in history when this happened. U2 and Queen were the standouts. I'll never forget it.
I know it was like electric in the atmosphere regardless of where you where in the world!!!! It'd be hard to pick @ fav U2 song....hmmm have to think on that one
This is not only U2's best ever live performance (IMO) but one of the greatest live performances of all time. Improvised brilliance form the band when Bono disappeared to ground level. Even the bit when Larry drum rolled as soon as Bono re-emerged.
The roadie in the sleeveless shirt handling Bono's microphone was Greg Carroll, who tragically was killed in a motorcycle accident the following year in 1986. The motorcycle belonged to Bono. U2 wrote the song "One Tree Hill" in his loving memory and it is included on "The Joshua Tree" album.
Your eyes said it All. It was beautiful indeed. Thank you for posting. I remember this back then. U2 are and were a very special and incredibly talented band 🎉
A version I'll never be tired of watching. Utter classic. If you like this version a year later they did another show for the homeless and drugs in their home country Ireland. You should have a look at it. It's called Self Aid and that version of Bad is topping this version
It is their most unique song...there's not a single song anywhere else that sounds like it...and no two versions are even the same...it's a GREAT song live...much better than the album version.
I've seen U2 several times in concert they're my second favorite band behind Rush and I will never forget going to the concert in 2001 in Madison square Garden right after 9/11 it was the first show they were doing at the Garden after the towers fell and they scrolled the names of the deceased upon this canvas that went up in the center of the arena and it was the most amazing moment I'll ever experience in a concert period. They always knew how to make a poignant statement.
Important to note there was no internet in the year this concert took place so no youtube!! We only had VHS video tape recorders. Bono was singing words from several other songs including 2 rolling stones numbers. The concert was also being held simultaneously live in Fort Lauderdale. Phil Collins performed at wembley then caught Concorde to fly supersonic to uSA and later drummed for Led Zeppelin when the Live Aid concert continued there due to 5 hours time difference. This was the first time a concert was beamed via satellite live all over the world for live aid!! So landmarks in many respects!!
The woman in the crowd was getting crushed and Bono saw this happening and reached out for her. This extended Bad, meaning they couldn’t play the rest of their short set list. Epic...
@@amnril true...and future versions of the song featured some epic guitar by Edge...it would have been great to hear him really cut loose in the long gap here, but he probably just didn't know how long it would be so didn't really let go.
Loyal I do agree that Pride had to be cut. But I find that a blessing. Absolute no disrespect to Dr. King, a great man, but the extended version of Bad was exceptional. Much more hypnotic than Pride.
Taken from two separate articles regarding the event at 7:40 "The third girl is 15-year-old Kal Khalique. She is not in the front row because she wants to be close to Bono. “My sister and I were desperate to see Wham!, so we had made it down to the front of the stage,” she explained... Bono saw she was being overwhelmed by the Wembley crowd. The U2 legend leapt off stage and pulled her free -- then smooched with her as his band played on. Kal, of Hampstead, North London, said: "The crowd surged and I was suffocating -- then I saw Bono. "Security helped him pull me out, then he held me and we danced. My heart was pounding."
during this time period, you had the Troubles in Belfast, and most of Ireland at the time. They concluded the set, in England, with so.e iconic English songs
They were on the cusp though. The "Unforgettable Fire" tour was seeing them break out from smaller venues into basketball/hockey arenas. I had just seen them at the Capital Centre in Landover,MD in April of '85 (also got to see them at DAR Constitution Hall in DC,with The Waterboys opening for them in December of '84 on a quick little mini-tour they did to promote the album dropping,top 5 concert ever for me) and they sold out those 20.000 or so seats FAST. For sure though that their performance at Live Aid set them up to be launched into the stratosphere,along with their performances a year later on the Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope Tour.
Guys, come on, do I need to point out the obvious here? U2 were playing an early evening set at Live Aid at around the same time as iconic acts such as Queen and David Bowie ffs, of course they were already HUGE! They were introduced on stage via satelite from Philadelphia by Jack Nicholson, who asked to be allowed to introduce them. They just became even bigger, but so did almost every act who played that day.
U2 was already quite huge, but mostly among real musicfans. I was a fan of U2 at that time, but together with one other we were the only ones in school and neighborhood who knew U2 at all. And yes, WE were 'famous' for that. Yet no one wanted to know. Then came Live Aid. And i'm not exaggerating if i say that the very next they all hell broke loose at school: everyone was talking about it: U2 and Sunday Bloody Sunday. They might have been already quite some band by then, but how i experienced it, it was this performance that launched them to the stars.
They were already known for being a band with their own sound and strong lyrics, otherwise they would not have been invited to this event full of established bands and artists
Remember Bono had the most profound line in “Do They Know It’s Christmas 🎄” so the anticipation of the young and rising band from Ireland was high that day.
I had just returned from hockey camp and was fortunate to watch this performance. It was the coolest thing I had seen on television! It was mesmerizing!!
Everyone talks about Queen's performance that day and rightly so but this performance by U2 put them on the map and showed that there was a worthy successor to Freddy on the same stage by the name of Bono.
I watched live aid all day that Saturday in 1985. I was 14 years old. I had 8 hours of it recorded on vhs tape but my mom recorded over the entire thing.
Me too, I was 13, stood in front of TV most of the day. Even at that age I knew it was epic and historic, cried a wee bit at Bad, has that effect on me to this day!. My mum went one further than yours: I had tickets for the Joshua Tree tour in 87 and she forbade me to go ( picturing crowds like live aid n me an asthmatic) I've reminded her of it a few times a year ever since lol. Greetings from Scotland👋
@@angelaortenzi-maccoll2917 I see u2 Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at Murrayfield rugby stadium. Paid £69 for a coach from Dover to Edinburgh a night in a hotel plus the u2 ticket. Best time of my life. See them again at Twickenham Stadium for the vertigo tour. I've seen many more concerts like Tracy Chapman. sting. Peter Gabriel. Simple Mind. Red Hot Chili Peppers. And many more. My biggest regret was not seeing queen
I was 17. We were on holiday in Majorca on that day and flew back during the day. So, flew back to the UK and continued watching when I got home. A friend recorded the day on VHS.
I seen U2 live after that Bono pickeed up at the concert I was to three girls. He had also an champagne bottle with him who the girls poored over him while they all hugged him. Until the guards took them of the stage. This was 1991. My favorit song with U2, where the streets have no name. And Sonday bloody sunday. It was through most of us discovered them
If you think this is the best you should watch the version of Bad they did in Dublin Ireland for charity a year later 1986. Name of the concert was Self Aid. Let me know what you think
U2 has a real connection with their fans. At the end of every live U2 show I’ve been to, Bono thanks the fans for giving them a life they love. Their new Sirius XM channel has a regular show that features U2 fans selecting and introducing their personal Top 5 U2 songs. They’ve been my favorite band since 1983...best live act EVER!!
I remember this day like it was today, I was 17 and waited all day for them to come on about 5ish, I was mocked back then for being a fan especially from the old man, he shouted me from the room to tell me yer bands on in 5, I finished the washing up and ran into the room, half way through Bad the volume went up a couple of notches, then the magic happened, not Bono jumping in the crowd but looking across and seeing the old man tapping his foot in time to the beat, I will never forget his smile when he realised he'd been busted, it was a validation to me and a moment of dawning for him, dad may be gone but the memory will last
This comment & memory in a word.. is perfect. If I had a father growing up then this is a memory I would treasure. Thank-you for sharing something rare.
I was 24 going on 25. I watched the U2 set live in Australia on the TV during the early hours of the morning - it was nightime in Australia. It still sends goosebumps down my spine - knowing how Bono went completely off-script as the band played such a long version of "Bad" - & were unable to play their third & final song "Pride". During "Bad" in Live Aid - U2 were discovered by the rest of the world - it was a defining moment for the band.
This is when U2 was introduced to the world. Their popularity sky rocketed after the world saw this... then Joshua Tree made them the biggest band in the world.
They don't know each other. Bono felt the need to reach out with touch. He became personal with the audience as it was his way of saying I'm just as you. I'm human and love is with me as well as with you. Let music bring us closer. ❤❤
This is great. You know, after this performance, all five of U2's LPs at the time went back into the UK charts; such was the interest in the band after this epic 20 minute show or whatever it was. This unexpected windfall allowed the band to spend more time on their next record, which would become The Joshua Tree. That record didn't do too badly at all! Best wishes to you and thanks for this great video.
I saw them at the LA Coliseum in the late 80s (before Joshua Tree). I still have an unused ticket from that show because one of my friends couldn't make it at the last minute. Face value, printed on the ticket: $15.
Bono said he didn't feel they were connecting with the crowd so he started motioning for security to allow someone up on stage. He then saw the dark haired girl, who he danced with, being pushed up against the barrier, so he jumped down to stop her from getting hurt. U2 was actually scheduled to play 3 songs (Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad and Pride), but because of him jumping off stage, they ran out of time before performing Pride.
Thankyou sooo much for all of this good information!! I appreciate every bit of it! wow! i feel he was connecting with the audience big time... it was a HUUUGE AUDIENCE THO! :)
@@KristinKali You're welcome! I just hope I got the story right 😅(just kidding). Love U2 so thank you for the reaction!... I just want to say you're an amazing person and that always comes through in your videos. And thank you for being a nurse, not just during these crazy times we're in, but always. Take care. May God look you full in the face and make you prosper.
Missing that one song and the act of kindness is what threw them to the top! It seemed like a mistake at first to the band, but what a huge surprise they got!!!!!
The band WAS really connecting with the crowd during the song. But Bono *always* wants to get as close as possible to the audience-more than normal lead singers do. There was a big gap between the Live Aid stage & where the first fans were-and Bono wasn’t accustomed to that (U2 were famous then but not global superstars yet). So he jumped down a level to where the camera & sound guys were. Then when he saw the 15-yr-old being crushed, he jumped off the stage completely. (Which is crazy because he’s actually scared of heights, but says when he performs he sometimes gets so into it he’s nearly loses his head.) In later years U2 pioneered innovation stages with long narrow catwalks & such that would allow Bono to be out in the middle of a stadium crowd for whole songs. GREAT video. 👍
@@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn I too hv told this to folks but I did see a Elvis performance where he performed a stage inside the audience who U2 had influences of. Also recal Bono saying he went to a Led Zeppelin concert as a teen or some other band maybe and he wanted to get close to his audience like they did when he became a band member himself something like that its ben decades since I read it but yes Zoo TV started the stage platforms into the audience that we see today imo
I constantly watch this performance on your channel & dare I say it, a few other reactors as well, I was 16 when I watched this on TV the streets were empty when Live Aid aired. What a performance & it still gives me goosebumps at 54 years of age, nothing will ever come close to that ever again, Hope your well, Love from the UK 🇬🇧
The young girl he had Security pull out of the crowd as she was getting smashed was at a show at the last experience tour. Bono pulls people up on stage quite often, I had the privilege of meeting him before sound check at the experience tour show he held my hand and it was so moving! I love Bono to the moon and back, he is so humble and sweet, Seeing U2 is almost a religious experience, I'm the same age as Bono I've been a rabid fan for 35 years and U2 never gets old! Best band in the world!!!!!❤👌
Wow, you are very lucky!! I believe you when you say it’s a religious experience! People talk about him a lot! His spirit (aura) must be ? Well, I can’t even speculate.. 👋😳 What I believe about Bono is that he is a gift to music & to the world. Thankyou, so much for sharing your story!
@@KristinKali Bonos "aura" is humble, loving and a sprinkle of spirituality, I felt like I had personally know him forever in that short time, he truly is a gift from above.🙂💗
At the time I think we felt that the girl he danced with was a proxy for the audience, for the world. For the love U2 was trying to say we should all have for each other. Especially at a time like this.
This almost broke the band up, Edge was furious at Bono for his antics here. I agree with him here, this song is so powerful on its own, and the reality that they were still somewhat unknown. Reportedly, after they played Edge left without speaking and boarded a jet.
A great video I saw was Chester Bennington singing in the middle of a crowd and gravitated to a young girl. It was raw, emotional, amazing. Unfortunately I saw this video a few weeks after his death. He was truly loved
Thankyou for this... i just saw your comment rt now... we had tickets to see Linkin Park and we were refunded (you know why) I appreciate the "link" I was given a strike so hopefully I can play this for you without the video being blocked
Live Aid was designed to fight apartheid in South Africa. Bob Geldolf was apart of an unknown, in America, band called the Boomtown Rats, ... truly amazing what an unknown person can do to fight injustice and spark the world's attention
He saw the girl getting crushed and wanted to help bono has always hated the distance between fans and artist i think the moment summed the day up brilliantly
Bono has a thing about wanting to make a connection with the audience so tries to dance with someone on stage. But this was the biggest concert and venue they'd ever been to and no way to get from audience to stage so he had to jump down. Then of course he couldn't get back up. U2 almost broke up after this gig as this was their BIGGEST break ever but they had to cut their third song 'pride'(in the name of love)' which was their big hit, because they ran out of time due to how long it took to do the dance and get back up.
Well U2 had originally more songs to play but because of him having to help the poor lady who was being suffocated in the crowd they instead made it an extended version of the song.. They ( the band ) never missed a beat. That's talent.!!!
Actually at the time the other band members were pretty pissed off at Bono for taking up so much time, since the band was due to perform 3 songs. Now there was no time anymore to do the third song. They thought they fucked up because of this,,,little did they know this would go down in history as one of the most memorable perfomances and catapult them into superstardom in the years ahead.
Just subscribed to your channel. And you're reaction to this concert was great to watch..i was at this concert I was 18 years old. And you're response made it as special as the day. Thanks ❤
Yeah.. notice he was like. No wrong girl.. I want the girl with Spanish Eyes Baby hang on.. I'll come down n get chu myself! Risk this whole u2 lead singer thing 😆 The rejects were sent to the top to wait for him clueless onstage 🤣
We saw Bono and U2 do the same sort of thing in the "Under A Blood Red Sky" video, filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheater . He grabbed a girl out of the crowd to dance with her to "Party Girl", I think it was. I believe I read or heard an interview once (a long time ago) saying that Bono (and the rest of the band) were really influenced by Bruce Springsteen and Bruce was known for bringing a girl out of the audience to dance with (hence the "Dancing in The Dark" video). Anyway, really cool. Bono is the man.
He also sang to his own daughter, Eve on a couple of occasions. He did “Party Girl” for her on her birthday and when she was younger, he brought her up to dance during “Mysterious Ways.”
"Kal Khalique was just 15 when Bono saw she was being overwhelmed by the Wembley crowd. The U2 legend leapt off stage and pulled her free--The crowd surged and I was suffocating -- then I saw Bono. " "Security helped him pull me out, then he held me and we danced. My heart was pounding." This is the true story in the girl's own words as told in The Sun on July 1st, 2005
They never got around to playing thier hit at the the time Pride (In The Name Of Love) due to Bonos excursion....the band had a huge row back stage and were very seriously considering firing Bono at the time. It was only when they saw the publics reaction afterwards that they realised they were one of the stand out performances of Live Aid and it elevated the band.
👊❤️🗣I love that you told me this story! I happened to watch “Queen” last night. It seems “Live Aid” humbled & was also a wake-up call to some of our most legendary bands! 😳
@@KristinKali There were quite a lot of good performances that day, both in London and Philadelphia. But three artists/bands absolutely put the rest in their shadows: U2, Queen and David Bowie (in no particular order).
For background explanation at 9:00, Bono does not know the girl who was pulled from the crowd. There is an obvious security concern of people being crushed. That's why people are being pulled from the crowd. This song was written from the perspective of someone helplessly watching a heroine addict slowly die. The beautiful section of music at this section of the song doesn't require any singing. So, during the live performance of this song, the singer would dance with someone to this section of music to demonstrate the bond between the addict and those people who love them. That's also why he sings the medley of the songs "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday", "Sympathy For The Devil", and "Walk On The Wild Side" for thematic consistency at the end. This was a breakthrough for U2 because they had never played to a crowd this large before. Their ability to win over this crowd convinced U2 that they could play stadiums, which is what they still do today.
👊❤️🗣Thankyou so much for taking the time to write this 🙏💕 I couldn’t wait to read this.. and find out what I was missing (A lot) The talent and respect for U2 has just skyrocketed in my book ✌️☺️
@@KristinKali Here's a link to a follow up interview from U2 about two years ago describing that moment with that girl on that day at 7:05. I like the reaction of the other members of U2 when Bono tells them that the girl was at the previous nights concert. This interview was during the 30th anniversary tour of the Joshua Tree, which was all done in stadiums .... ua-cam.com/video/vsKZ3YrF_3Q/v-deo.html via @UA-cam
The people in the crowd weren’t even fans!! This was before the Joshua tree era when they made it “big”. This just proves how good they were(are) & why they still perform at the highest level & make sure that all the other groups aspire to get close to their mastery. Queen were very good on the day also but the longevity of U2 makes them the greatest band of all time & that includes The Beatles!!!
the lyric “wide awake” is right....how Bono managed to be super-humanly alert & notice/see those girls in that literal sea of people is just crazy to me, & beyond me... i read ur reply to the guy who explained the situation, & every time i see this, i tear up a little, sometimes, & im a dude...its a truly incredible moment...great reaction:D
I love U2 so much they're my favorite band. Thank you for the awesome video. I really appreciated the things you said. This was definitely one of the best reaction videos I've seen so far. You did awesome. Thanks!
If you think about the crowd size the old Wembley seated Capacity: was 82,000 ((original standing capacity was 125,000) Bob Geldof was also from Dublin.
Just in case you are interested I've got a bittersweet story. In 1984 the band went to New Zealand, one night Bono couldn't sleep and wanted to wander around a bit. One of the people who accompanied him was a Maori 20 yo guy, Greg Carroll. They became good friends and Greg left home to travel with the band as a roadie. He's the guy who jumps on stage to pick up the microphone around min 8:20. He died in 1986, in an accident driving Bono's motorbike. Bono wrote for him One Three Hill, which is a sacred place in the Maori culture, and one amazing song I strongly suggest you to listen to :)
👊❤️🗣WOW, 🥺 that is truly one of the saddest stories I ever heard 🙏💕 Thankyou for telling me tho ..it makes me feel like ppl still care about one another deeply
I was there. I was about 20 feet from where the second girl was rescued from the crowd. Bono could see they where being crushed, and that's why he raced over to the second girl and jumped down himself, he could see she was being crushed. The entire mood of the day, was the only time in my life, like i literally felt like we the people, where more important than the music. It was incredible, there was nothing contrived about Bono dancing with that girl, it was just a day where, we literally tried to live and send, as much love and hope as possible, as twee as that sounds.

This is a masterpiece in human connection and Bono with a glorious ability to exist with no barriers.
He still says God bless you, and thank you for the life you've given us.
There will never be another band like U2, ever! They will go down in history as the greatest band in history!

Hi beautiful queen
HI Q... LOL.. i think you accidentally typed in Jeff's comment :)
Jeff H You are welcome no problem
I know it was like electric in the atmosphere regardless of where you where in the world!!!! It'd be hard to pick @ fav U2 song....hmmm have to think on that one
Yep
This is not only U2's best ever live performance (IMO) but one of the greatest live performances of all time. Improvised brilliance form the band when Bono disappeared to ground level. Even the bit when Larry drum rolled as soon as Bono re-emerged.
yeah Larry never has ever done that part in a performance of Bad before or since this performance.
You need to check out the Us Festival performance. Bono pulls girl out of the audience, then he climbs to the top of the stage.
The roadie in the sleeveless shirt handling Bono's microphone was Greg Carroll, who tragically was killed in a motorcycle accident the following year in 1986. The motorcycle belonged to Bono. U2 wrote the song "One Tree Hill" in his loving memory and it is included on "The Joshua Tree" album.
Bono and Larry attended his tangi in, Aotearoa.
Your eyes said it All. It was beautiful indeed. Thank you for posting. I remember this back then. U2 are and were a very special and incredibly talented band 🎉
A version I'll never be tired of watching. Utter classic. If you like this version a year later they did another show for the homeless and drugs in their home country Ireland. You should have a look at it. It's called Self Aid and that version of Bad is topping this version
It's been literally decades and still whenever U2 play Bad live the crowd goes crazy. An absolute classic
A.S. 2D I’ve seen U2 live three times....they are amazing live❤️❤️❤️
I know i do when i hear that opening im always so so happy to hear my song
It is their most unique song...there's not a single song anywhere else that sounds like it...and no two versions are even the same...it's a GREAT song live...much better than the album version.
I remember being 13 and waiting for U2 to come on stage. Love this band.
I still goosebumps when I watch this video. Bad is one of my favorite songs.
One of the best live bands ever. Amazing and truly timeless.
👊❤️🗣Well Said!
Would be more accurate to say one of the best band of all time overall and the best live band period.
The love and seance of unity on that day was something to behold.
I've seen U2 several times in concert they're my second favorite band behind Rush and I will never forget going to the concert in 2001 in Madison square Garden right after 9/11 it was the first show they were doing at the Garden after the towers fell and they scrolled the names of the deceased upon this canvas that went up in the center of the arena and it was the most amazing moment I'll ever experience in a concert period. They always knew how to make a poignant statement.
You have excellent taste! Thankyou for your comment!
Bono and u2 has always been gracious to his fans always warm and welcoming just a great band thanks for an amazing heart felt reaction u rock
Important to note there was no internet in the year this concert took place so no youtube!! We only had VHS video tape recorders. Bono was singing words from several other songs including 2 rolling stones numbers. The concert was also being held simultaneously live in Fort Lauderdale. Phil Collins performed at wembley then caught Concorde to fly supersonic to uSA and later drummed for Led Zeppelin when the Live Aid concert continued there due to 5 hours time difference. This was the first time a concert was beamed via satellite live all over the world for live aid!! So landmarks in many respects!!
I was very fortunate to meet him and we held hands! It was amazing! A day at the experience show that I'll never forget! He is a lovely humble man!
👊❤️😳🗣WOW! Anna!! That is INCREDIBLE! You always wonder if these artists are as caring as they seem? You confirmed this question for me 😊 Thankyou
I’ve seen them live three times...absolutely epic concerts❤️❤️❤️
I have see U2, 4 times always in Italy. Bad, is a Masterpiece
Totally random bono being bono he cares for everyone hes a angel in disguise as a rock star god bless him...enjoy from new Zealand 👍❤
And that ladies and gentlemen is how you work a crowd
The woman in the crowd was getting crushed and Bono saw this happening and reached out for her.
This extended Bad, meaning they couldn’t play the rest of their short set list. Epic...
unfortunately, the song that was cut was "Pride (In the Name of Love)" which would have been incredible at Live Aid.
It was great that it was extended , I like ‘Pride’ but the Live Aid version of Bad has become so iconic and memorable.
@@amnril true...and future versions of the song featured some epic guitar by Edge...it would have been great to hear him really cut loose in the long gap here, but he probably just didn't know how long it would be so didn't really let go.
Loyal I do agree that Pride had to be cut. But I find that a blessing. Absolute no disrespect to Dr. King, a great man, but the extended version of Bad was exceptional. Much more hypnotic than Pride.
Amazing band.
Taken from two separate articles regarding the event at 7:40
"The third girl is 15-year-old Kal Khalique. She is not in the front row because she wants to be close to Bono. “My sister and I were desperate to see Wham!, so we had made it down to the front of the stage,” she explained... Bono saw she was being overwhelmed by the Wembley crowd. The U2 legend leapt off stage and pulled her free -- then smooched with her as his band played on.
Kal, of Hampstead, North London, said: "The crowd surged and I was suffocating -- then I saw Bono.
"Security helped him pull me out, then he held me and we danced. My heart was pounding."
👊❤️🙂🙏🗣WOW! Thankyou so much Mark!! That explains sooo much! 😊
I think the band were a bit irritated at the time, this was their chance to showcase their music but Bono went off sprint, obviously didnt hurt them
I was just getting into U2 and caught this on tv on the day....the deal was sealed... awesome live band
when time stood still. Wonderful reaction greetings from Australia
I was fortunate enough to catch this on tv! One of my favorite bands along with Led Zeppelin
during this time period, you had the Troubles in Belfast, and most of Ireland at the time. They concluded the set, in England, with so.e iconic English songs
important to note: U2 wasn't a huge band at this point. They definitely had fans but...this performance and the next album began their superstardom
They were on the cusp though. The "Unforgettable Fire" tour was seeing them break out from smaller venues into basketball/hockey arenas. I had just seen them at the Capital Centre in Landover,MD in April of '85 (also got to see them at DAR Constitution Hall in DC,with The Waterboys opening for them in December of '84 on a quick little mini-tour they did to promote the album dropping,top 5 concert ever for me) and they sold out those 20.000 or so seats FAST.
For sure though that their performance at Live Aid set them up to be launched into the stratosphere,along with their performances a year later on the Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope Tour.
Guys, come on, do I need to point out the obvious here? U2 were playing an early evening set at Live Aid at around the same time as iconic acts such as Queen and David Bowie ffs, of course they were already HUGE! They were introduced on stage via satelite from Philadelphia by Jack Nicholson, who asked to be allowed to introduce them. They just became even bigger, but so did almost every act who played that day.
U2 was already quite huge, but mostly among real musicfans. I was a fan of U2 at that time, but together with one other we were the only ones in school and neighborhood who knew U2 at all. And yes, WE were 'famous' for that. Yet no one wanted to know.
Then came Live Aid. And i'm not exaggerating if i say that the very next they all hell broke loose at school: everyone was talking about it: U2 and Sunday Bloody Sunday.
They might have been already quite some band by then, but how i experienced it, it was this performance that launched them to the stars.
They were already known for being a band with their own sound and strong lyrics, otherwise they would not have been invited to this event full of established bands and artists
Remember Bono had the most profound line in “Do They Know It’s Christmas 🎄” so the anticipation of the young and rising band from Ireland was high that day.
This performance put U2 on the map globally. It was one of the best of the whole series.
I had just returned from hockey camp and was fortunate to watch this performance. It was the coolest thing I had seen on television! It was mesmerizing!!
🙏😂🥰🗣Very cool!
Everyone talks about Queen's performance that day and rightly so but this performance by U2 put them on the map and showed that there was a worthy successor to Freddy on the same stage by the name of Bono.
My favorite U2 song. Live version is always better.
Everyone seems to love this song! Bravo!! it was pretty awesome!
Best version ever
There was 110,000 people that day and I was luckily one of them,blinding day x
I watched live aid all day that Saturday in 1985. I was 14 years old. I had 8 hours of it recorded on vhs tape but my mom recorded over the entire thing.
👊❤️😳😳😳🗣Ohhh no!!! I have heard of kids doing things like that but not parents!! This calls for a special emoji... 😫
Kristin Kali I remember being so upset. It’s especially bad since we can’t even buy any of the performances on video.
Me too, I was 13, stood in front of TV most of the day. Even at that age I knew it was epic and historic, cried a wee bit at Bad, has that effect on me to this day!. My mum went one further than yours: I had tickets for the Joshua Tree tour in 87 and she forbade me to go ( picturing crowds like live aid n me an asthmatic) I've reminded her of it a few times a year ever since lol. Greetings from Scotland👋
@@angelaortenzi-maccoll2917
I see u2 Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at Murrayfield rugby stadium. Paid £69 for a coach from Dover to Edinburgh a night in a hotel plus the u2 ticket. Best time of my life. See them again at Twickenham Stadium for the vertigo tour. I've seen many more concerts like Tracy Chapman. sting. Peter Gabriel. Simple Mind. Red Hot Chili Peppers. And many more. My biggest regret was not seeing queen
I was 17. We were on holiday in Majorca on that day and flew back during the day. So, flew back to the UK and continued watching when I got home. A friend recorded the day on VHS.
I seen U2 live after that Bono pickeed up at the concert I was to three girls. He had also an champagne bottle with him who the girls poored over him while they all hugged him. Until the guards took them of the stage. This was 1991. My favorit song with U2, where the streets have no name. And Sonday bloody sunday. It was through most of us discovered them
You are super lucky Leif!! Wow!! I’m gonna look into these other songs by U2
We can not stop to admire artists with a great talent !!!
He saw the SAME Girl at a show 30 years later. Best live band ever.
👊❤️😳🤯☝️🗣That is Awesome!!
Best version of Bad live...Fact
If you think this is the best you should watch the version of Bad they did in Dublin Ireland for charity a year later 1986. Name of the concert was Self Aid. Let me know what you think
remember, this is before the internet.....
U2 has a real connection with their fans. At the end of every live U2 show I’ve been to, Bono thanks the fans for giving them a life they love. Their new Sirius XM channel has a regular show that features U2 fans selecting and introducing their personal Top 5 U2 songs. They’ve been my favorite band since 1983...best live act EVER!!
Besides journey live in Houston 81 Queens live aid performance was awesome. One of the best I've ever seen
Ricky Arme 👊❤️🗣You got to see Journey🤘😮 I love Journey 💞
Legends
He always does that! My love ❤️
That day was magic
I remember this day like it was today, I was 17 and waited all day for them to come on about 5ish, I was mocked back then for being a fan especially from the old man, he shouted me from the room to tell me yer bands on in 5, I finished the washing up and ran into the room, half way through Bad the volume went up a couple of notches, then the magic happened, not Bono jumping in the crowd but looking across and seeing the old man tapping his foot in time to the beat, I will never forget his smile when he realised he'd been busted, it was a validation to me and a moment of dawning for him, dad may be gone but the memory will last
This comment & memory in a word.. is perfect. If I had a father growing up then this is a memory I would treasure. Thank-you for sharing something rare.
I was 24 going on 25. I watched the U2 set live in Australia on the TV during the early hours of the morning - it was nightime in Australia. It still sends goosebumps down my spine - knowing how Bono went completely off-script as the band played such a long version of "Bad" - & were unable to play their third & final song "Pride". During "Bad" in Live Aid - U2 were discovered by the rest of the world - it was a defining moment for the band.
This is when U2 was introduced to the world. Their popularity sky rocketed after the world saw this... then Joshua Tree made them the biggest band in the world.
great!!! U2 😍
They don't know each other. Bono felt the need to reach out with touch. He became personal with the audience as it was his way of saying I'm just as you. I'm human and love is with me as well as with you. Let music bring us closer. ❤❤
First timer you were wonderful with Bad
u2 360 tour... mind blown
See them 5 times live..... sooo good.
what an amazing moment in time. what more can you say?
Love U2 aswell.
This is great. You know, after this performance, all five of U2's LPs at the time went back into the UK charts; such was the interest in the band after this epic 20 minute show or whatever it was. This unexpected windfall allowed the band to spend more time on their next record, which would become The Joshua Tree.
That record didn't do too badly at all!
Best wishes to you and thanks for this great video.
One of the best live performances ever
I've seen U2 in concert many times. I saw them in Chicago in 2018 and in Indianapolis in 2017. Both were insanely good concerts.
Well... that is definitely very very fortunate... i heard they are performers of a different caliber!
I saw them at the LA Coliseum in the late 80s (before Joshua Tree). I still have an unused ticket from that show because one of my friends couldn't make it at the last minute. Face value, printed on the ticket: $15.
Bono said he didn't feel they were connecting with the crowd so he started motioning for security to allow someone up on stage. He then saw the dark haired girl, who he danced with, being pushed up against the barrier, so he jumped down to stop her from getting hurt. U2 was actually scheduled to play 3 songs (Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bad and Pride), but because of him jumping off stage, they ran out of time before performing Pride.
Thankyou sooo much for all of this good information!! I appreciate every bit of it! wow! i feel he was connecting with the audience big time... it was a HUUUGE AUDIENCE THO! :)
@@KristinKali You're welcome! I just hope I got the story right 😅(just kidding). Love U2 so thank you for the reaction!... I just want to say you're an amazing person and that always comes through in your videos. And thank you for being a nurse, not just during these crazy times we're in, but always. Take care. May God look you full in the face and make you prosper.
Missing that one song and the act of kindness is what threw them to the top! It seemed like a mistake at first to the band, but what a huge surprise they got!!!!!
The band WAS really connecting with the crowd during the song. But Bono *always* wants to get as close as possible to the audience-more than normal lead singers do.
There was a big gap between the Live Aid stage & where the first fans were-and Bono wasn’t accustomed to that (U2 were famous then but not global superstars yet). So he jumped down a level to where the camera & sound guys were. Then when he saw the 15-yr-old being crushed, he jumped off the stage completely. (Which is crazy because he’s actually scared of heights, but says when he performs he sometimes gets so into it he’s nearly loses his head.)
In later years U2 pioneered innovation stages with long narrow catwalks & such that would allow Bono to be out in the middle of a stadium crowd for whole songs. GREAT video. 👍
@@AndTheRoadGoesEverOn I too hv told this to folks but I did see a Elvis performance where he performed a stage inside the audience who U2 had influences of. Also recal Bono saying he went to a Led Zeppelin concert as a teen or some other band maybe and he wanted to get close to his audience like they did when he became a band member himself something like that its ben decades since I read it but yes Zoo TV started the stage platforms into the audience that we see today imo
I constantly watch this performance on your channel & dare I say it, a few other reactors as well, I was 16 when I watched this on TV the streets were empty when Live Aid aired. What a performance & it still gives me goosebumps at 54 years of age, nothing will ever come close to that ever again, Hope your well, Love from the UK 🇬🇧
The young girl he had Security pull out of the crowd as she was getting smashed was at a show at the last experience tour.
Bono pulls people up on stage quite often, I had the privilege of meeting him before sound check at the experience tour show he held my hand and it was so moving! I love Bono to the moon and back, he is so humble and sweet,
Seeing U2 is almost a religious experience, I'm the same age as Bono
I've been a rabid fan for 35 years and U2 never gets old!
Best band in the world!!!!!❤👌
Wow, you are very lucky!! I believe you when you say it’s a religious experience! People talk about him a lot! His spirit (aura) must be ? Well, I can’t even speculate.. 👋😳 What I believe about Bono is that he is a gift to music & to the world. Thankyou, so much for sharing your story!
@@KristinKali
Bonos "aura" is humble, loving and a sprinkle of spirituality, I felt like I had personally know him forever in that short time, he truly is a gift from above.🙂💗
At the time I think we felt that the girl he danced with was a proxy for the audience, for the world. For the love U2 was trying to say we should all have for each other. Especially at a time like this.
Well said!! i agree with you!! its perfect!
Exactly right 🙏
This almost broke the band up, Edge was furious at Bono for his antics here. I agree with him here, this song is so powerful on its own, and the reality that they were still somewhat unknown. Reportedly, after they played Edge left without speaking and boarded a jet.
he always invite someone to come on the stage to dance with him specially in the song " she moves in mysterious ways " and " with or without you" .
Sensacional!!! ❤
A great video I saw was Chester Bennington singing in the middle of a crowd and gravitated to a young girl. It was raw, emotional, amazing. Unfortunately I saw this video a few weeks after his death. He was truly loved
ua-cam.com/video/gJugc10G7qY/v-deo.html
This is a must watch
Thankyou for this... i just saw your comment rt now... we had tickets to see Linkin Park and we were refunded (you know why) I appreciate the "link" I was given a strike so hopefully I can play this for you without the video being blocked
U2 and Bono always the best live band, and still the best live band..
Live Aid was designed to fight apartheid in South Africa. Bob Geldolf was apart of an unknown, in America, band called the Boomtown Rats, ... truly amazing what an unknown person can do to fight injustice and spark the world's attention
Him dancing with the girl always gets me.
He saw the girl getting crushed and wanted to help bono has always hated the distance between fans and artist i think the moment summed the day up brilliantly
What a great band, I love the Christian themed song I will follow. I have a tradition of listening to New Years day on New Year’s Day.✌️Phil
Bono has a thing about wanting to make a connection with the audience so tries to dance with someone on stage. But this was the biggest concert and venue they'd ever been to and no way to get from audience to stage so he had to jump down. Then of course he couldn't get back up. U2 almost broke up after this gig as this was their BIGGEST break ever but they had to cut their third song 'pride'(in the name of love)' which was their big hit, because they ran out of time due to how long it took to do the dance and get back up.
Well U2 had originally more songs to play but because of him having to help the poor lady who was being suffocated in the crowd they instead made it an extended version of the song.. They ( the band ) never missed a beat. That's talent.!!!
Actually at the time the other band members were pretty pissed off at Bono for taking up so much time, since the band was due to perform 3 songs. Now there was no time anymore to do the third song. They thought they fucked up because of this,,,little did they know this would go down in history as one of the most memorable perfomances and catapult them into superstardom in the years ahead.
Love
Just subscribed to your channel. And you're reaction to this concert was great to watch..i was at this concert I was 18 years old. And you're response made it as special as the day. Thanks ❤
👊❤️😳🗣Whoa! I Envy you! 🙏💕☺️ Thankyou for being a part of the channel
Bono was always pulling anonymous girls out of the audience to join him on stage to sing to, to dance with, to kiss, and the audience loved it.
🥰🙏💕🗣that is really cool
He still does it sometimes
Yeah.. notice he was like. No wrong girl..
I want the girl with Spanish Eyes
Baby hang on.. I'll come down n get chu myself!
Risk this whole u2 lead singer thing 😆
The rejects were sent to the top to wait for him clueless onstage 🤣
We saw Bono and U2 do the same sort of thing in the "Under A Blood Red Sky" video, filmed at Red Rocks Amphitheater . He grabbed a girl out of the crowd to dance with her to "Party Girl", I think it was. I believe I read or heard an interview once (a long time ago) saying that Bono (and the rest of the band) were really influenced by Bruce Springsteen and Bruce was known for bringing a girl out of the audience to dance with (hence the "Dancing in The Dark" video). Anyway, really cool. Bono is the man.
He also sang to his own daughter, Eve on a couple of occasions. He did “Party Girl” for her on her birthday and when she was younger, he brought her up to dance during “Mysterious Ways.”
"Kal Khalique was just 15 when Bono saw she was being overwhelmed by the Wembley crowd. The U2 legend leapt off stage and pulled her free--The crowd surged and I was suffocating -- then I saw Bono.
"
"Security helped him pull me out, then he held me and we danced. My heart was pounding."
This is the true story in the girl's own words as told in The Sun on July 1st, 2005
👊❤️🗣Thankyou Mark! That is really inspirational 🙏💕☺️
This is not what happened - the girl was not in any distress - she was plucked out of the crowd - Bono commanded 'bring forth the babes' and viola
They never got around to playing thier hit at the the time Pride (In The Name Of Love) due to Bonos excursion....the band had a huge row back stage and were very seriously considering firing Bono at the time. It was only when they saw the publics reaction afterwards that they realised they were one of the stand out performances of Live Aid and it elevated the band.
👊❤️🗣I love that you told me this story! I happened to watch “Queen” last night. It seems “Live Aid” humbled & was also a wake-up call to some of our most legendary bands! 😳
@@KristinKali There were quite a lot of good performances that day, both in London and Philadelphia. But three artists/bands absolutely put the rest in their shadows: U2, Queen and David Bowie (in no particular order).
U2 has a special connection with thier audiences and the live performance experience can not be topped.
For background explanation at 9:00, Bono does not know the girl who was pulled from the crowd. There is an obvious security concern of people being crushed. That's why people are being pulled from the crowd. This song was written from the perspective of someone helplessly watching a heroine addict slowly die. The beautiful section of music at this section of the song doesn't require any singing. So, during the live performance of this song, the singer would dance with someone to this section of music to demonstrate the bond between the addict and those people who love them. That's also why he sings the medley of the songs "Goodbye Ruby Tuesday", "Sympathy For The Devil", and "Walk On The Wild Side" for thematic consistency at the end. This was a breakthrough for U2 because they had never played to a crowd this large before. Their ability to win over this crowd convinced U2 that they could play stadiums, which is what they still do today.
👊❤️🗣Thankyou so much for taking the time to write this 🙏💕 I couldn’t wait to read this.. and find out what I was missing (A lot) The talent and respect for U2 has just skyrocketed in my book ✌️☺️
@@KristinKali Here's a link to a follow up interview from U2 about two years ago describing that moment with that girl on that day at 7:05. I like the reaction of the other members of U2 when Bono tells them that the girl was at the previous nights concert. This interview was during the 30th anniversary tour of the Joshua Tree, which was all done in stadiums .... ua-cam.com/video/vsKZ3YrF_3Q/v-deo.html via @UA-cam
👊❤ Hey Kali. That was most certainly dope. Bono, Great frontman 💯💯
God bless you. From a searcher.
The people in the crowd weren’t even fans!! This was before the Joshua tree era when they made it “big”. This just proves how good they were(are) & why they still perform at the highest level & make sure that all the other groups aspire to get close to their mastery. Queen were very good on the day also but the longevity of U2 makes them the greatest band of all time & that includes The Beatles!!!
This performance put them over the top and at this moment became infamous FUN FACT 95 % if TVs in the entire world watched this concert that day
the lyric “wide awake” is right....how Bono managed to be super-humanly alert & notice/see those girls in that literal sea of people is just crazy to me, & beyond me... i read ur reply to the guy who explained the situation, & every time i see this, i tear up a little, sometimes, & im a dude...its a truly incredible moment...great reaction:D
I love U2 so much they're my favorite band. Thank you for the awesome video. I really appreciated the things you said. This was definitely one of the best reaction videos I've seen so far. You did awesome. Thanks!
If you think about the crowd size the old Wembley seated Capacity: was 82,000 ((original standing capacity was 125,000) Bob Geldof was also from Dublin.
Geniaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Que buen tema de u2 una de mis bandas favoritas gracias,saludos desde rosario argentina
Besos!!!
Just in case you are interested I've got a bittersweet story. In 1984 the band went to New Zealand, one night Bono couldn't sleep and wanted to wander around a bit. One of the people who accompanied him was a Maori 20 yo guy, Greg Carroll. They became good friends and Greg left home to travel with the band as a roadie. He's the guy who jumps on stage to pick up the microphone around min 8:20. He died in 1986, in an accident driving Bono's motorbike. Bono wrote for him One Three Hill, which is a sacred place in the Maori culture, and one amazing song I strongly suggest you to listen to :)
👊❤️🗣WOW, 🥺 that is truly one of the saddest stories I ever heard 🙏💕 Thankyou for telling me tho ..it makes me feel like ppl still care about one another deeply
