I'm amazed at people who criticize Edge. He has always been clear about what he does and if you listen to him for a bit you would know that. U2 started during the punk revolution and even though they never played punk, the basics are the same. Virtuosity has nothing to do with U2, it never has, it never will. It is about the songs, the music and the individuals adding to the group. I know true fans get it but it is still sad to read people shitting on bands or music in general just because they don't like it or for some other reasons. If you don't like something that other people like, don't go in the comments, don't listen to it, don't pay attention to it... Anyways, I'm rambling on...
I personally find the song's _ending_ guitar part even more satisfying. That moment when it eventually gives way to that final "home" chord (props also to Adam) is just _heaven._
Love The Edge. Every time I see him I think of my after school walk to work in 1985. 2 miles uphill, wind in face, dressed in some ridiculous fast-food uniform, but my Sony Walkman blaring a U2 tape, and pure happiness.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve heard that into, it always makes my heart soar, especially live. And that’s exactly what music is supposed to do.
This is the song that made me a true U2 fan and even today, 30+ years later, I STILL get chills when I listen to this guitar intro. Edge was hard on himself because he wasn't a "true shredder" guitarist, but the sound he created in the 80s is still my favorite guitar sound of any band ever. He's a musical genius, no matter what he thinks about himself.
Loved this movie...the love , respect and adoration each guitarist had for one another was absolutely beautiful. I bought this movie 4 times...last time was on blu ray...I gave it away to friends 3 times because I wanted to share the joy I felt watching it.
i love it that someone with his success chooses to live the way he wants... austere, not out to impress anyone other than those who don’t need to be impressed... signs of the true artist.
Never expected to see Edge's kitchen or my old music class today. I had Mr. McKenzie for music and he was an amazing teacher. He'd be literally banging out tunes on an upright piano with this back to us darting 180 glances over his shoulder like a mad possessed owl with his wild Einstein hair, the only class I got A's in, a lovely man and a driven teacher, never knew he taught U2 let alone they rehearsed in the same room years earlier. He turned many of us onto music in general. I play Streets live and it amazes me how Edge nailed the smooth switch from 6/8 to 4/4, took him ages seemingly, such a buzz to play it live.
Hey there. I had Mr mc kenzie also. As did all my brothers and they were all in his class together.And u2 also played there first public gig in my father's night club, on o Connel Street Dublin. 1978 or 79 I think.

Being at a U2 show and Edge starts this intro I get teary eyed every time. This tour at the Sphere is the best venue I’ve ever seen u2 at. Was there Dec 1, 2 in section 101, going back Jan 26, 31, Feb 17, 18, March 2 all in GA. I already passed my 100th U2 in Australia in Nov 2019
I’m still upset that I can’t make it to Vegas for one of those shows. ‘Streets’ is the very first song of theirs I heard live in 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour. I was 16, lol. Seems like forever ago. Doesn’t matter, I always tear up when this song starts. Always.
I was lucky enough to bump into The Edge Evans at Notting Hill Carnival, and thank him for the money that song made me for playing it really badly as a busker.
I've just realised that the Harry Enfield U2 sketch where they're in the Edge's kitchen must have been based on this, I thought they were just making it funny that The Edge had a crap kitchen!!
Reminds me of early high school rock band days of trial and error perfect sound quest. Good times were had by all. About 50 years ago. Still enjoy playing. Love U2’s music. Talent, passion, perfection and did their own sound and style. So awesome that they have kept their friendship alive so long. Well done👍
Nothing can prepare you for the hair these guys had when they first started out... Adam looked like Napoleon Dynamite! Larry looked like a runaway from Abba.
He takes simple elements and then makes them sound like the music of the heavens. As if such sounds have always existed in a higher plane and he is bringing them down to us.
1:45 “the first section is a different time signature, bit of a head trip to go between the two” I covered Streets with my band a few night ago for a pub gig. “Head trip” is an understatement 😅 we scrapped the intro entirely. We forgot we had to go back to the 5/6 timing for the outro and it threw us completely off 😂 overall the audience enjoyed it though
I had a conversation with you while you were walking your dog in front of your house in Malibu. You have 3 arches in front at your garage openings. I walked by a few weeks ago and heard you talking to Bono on speaker phone! It was a pleasure talking to you Edge!!

People can say whatever they want about Edge. But anyone capable of writing a guitar intro so iconic it appears in the conversation alongside Wish You Were Here and Stairway to Heaven as the greatest in the history of rock deserves every bit of respect they receive.
Even the amazing Joe Satriani who has taught countless guitarists from Steve Vai to Kirk Hammett of Metallica said this of the edge. “We had guitarist playing a certain way like the great classic rock guitarists and suddenly the edge came out playing far different. He made guitarists rethink how to play in a band.”

@@jts400hp The Cure is my favorite. Only band I've seen twice. Plainsong is likely my favorite song...period. But I've also seen U2 on the Vertigo tour and Streets is their best. And All I Want Is You is for my wife and I, our song, and our wedding song too.
For me it's the desert road grids in the Mohave desert when you are flying above and look down and there are no houses, no buildings, just a bunch of square grids of roads. Roads with no name.
Edge strength is in playing repetitive and synchronized with his echo pedal riffs for long periods. It's hard to do this live and give the audience the feel that comes from a so well recorded studio album.
We have all found old edited videos, photos, music, and songs. Imagine hearing the precursor..... to songs that filled stadiums..... all around the world. I expected the Edge to tear up a bit. Hell, I did! and I am not part of this journey.

@@vonsydov5 You're right. It is the first track on the album of course. And you need the right speakers for any song I'd say.

That's absolutely true
Johnny Marr was brilliant
U cant compare johhny marr to the edge. Johnny mar is not even cool enough to tie the edges shoes

Edge is a GOD 🤟
U2 is part of my life
I got a tape of them playing what I think is their first concert in Boston. It is raw but really really good.
music tells us the direction....totally agree.
El mejor documental de toda la historia
Those are his demos that are so accurate and on time I can't believe it!!! and its on a four-track too
Got the pleasure seeing these guys in the Astrodome🤘🏻
For me it's the desert road grids in the Mohave desert when you are flying above and look down and there are no houses, no buildings, just a bunch of square grids of roads. Roads with no name.
Saw Dave play at Red Rocks in 83 -- hard to believe that was almost 40 years ago...
If anyone wants to know, this is live at slane castle.
I praying for you that you were at the show???
What an innovator!
Imagine finding these at a random sale. Getting home, blowing the dust off the old tape recorder & realising you have music history in your hands.
What his face the instant he recognizes a particular riff or sound. Kinda like recognizing an old friend’s voice.
Edge strength is in playing repetitive and synchronized with his echo pedal riffs for long periods. It's hard to do this live and give the audience the feel that comes from a so well recorded studio album.
Have you ever been in a U2 concert?
Brilliant 😊💜🙏
MY HERO!!!
We have all found old edited videos, photos, music, and songs. Imagine hearing the precursor..... to songs that filled stadiums..... all around the world. I expected the Edge to tear up a bit. Hell, I did! and I am not part of this journey.
I reckon it's his Mam and Dads kitchen and his Dad keeps EVERYTHING in the loft 🤣
man this gives me chills to almost crying..
I just love that he is some completely nondescript kitchen
I believe that during the live footage the album version is the one played.
Is this the Edges kitchen???
I still have that Tascam 4-track.
What a coincidence that two talents like Bono and The Edge went to the same high school.
Adam Clayton...right time, right place.
Shivers
when stevie wonder came out with songs in the key of life, all music changed
Gênio 👏👏👏👏
He went from basic to basic, glad I caught the middle when it was new.
Music History Right There By The Edge
@maxferxd Yeah that concert must have been mindblowing.
