Great reportage. I love how this band keeps coming back, again and again. They are exceptional. Look at this new tour. It's blowing your mind again. There is no other band in the world doing this, never have been, never will be. I am blessed to be able to witness this gift from God.
Agreed. To me, perhaps the most impressive parts of it is they did it without any of the breakups, departures, death, scandal, destruction, devastation, etc. that typically comes along with bands/artists in music. That all says a lot about the type of human beings they are.
My admiration for U2 stopped the moment they enlisted themselves as a "Dutch" band to avoid the Irish taxes. He can talk as much as he wants about the unfairness of the world, but it sounds bitter and hypocrytical when you deny your own country the benifits of your work.
Dorientje Woller The Irish government didn’t take tax off artists. U2 were by then earning hundreds of millions of dollars. Not many people wouldn’t have used (and still use) loopholes like this. Racing drivers who live in Monaco for example
I like U2, they also seem like a decent bunch of blokes, however they wouldn't be my no 1 band. Having said that though, the concert I saw at Mt Smart Auckland around 2006 was and still is the best show I have ever seen.
Phenomenal show. Loved it so much I saw it twice! Extraordinary band. They haven't and will never grow old. They have been the soundtrack to my life since the start. Keep it up, Boys! I Will Follow!
Me too! Saw this show at MSG in NYC and fell in love all over again. Fell in love with U2 in the early 80's and they have been soundtrack to my life too! Listening to U2 is always like going home ...
When I was a teenager on a cold winter night doing my homework and listening to New Year’s Day on low volume, tapping the eraser of my pencil to the beat, I predicted U2 would be massively successful as a rock group. I just knew they were special.
So glad you had the song of your Mother released. More men need to know the value a mother has. No need to have felt embarrassed. That was a lovely thing to do.xx
I think the 1st time I've heart The Edge speaking voice. Nice. I like the pseudo-falsetto, delay in following Bono's line. I also like the desert rose hidden in our desert. A scary place. Photos of you keeping close because of the rumors is good.
These guys are the standard for egoless personalities who truly believe in their friendship over 40 years. I've always been a fan of them God bless u2 and kept them grounded
This concert was magnificent to say the very least. I have followed this band since 1979 my senior year in HS. Boston was one of the first radio stations that gave them a break. I'm so glad they did. It's like a religious experience with the music and lyrics. I really think they are God's band, delivering the message of hope faith and love. Great interview. Nancy, Boston, MA
Marios U2 has maybe five really good songs. They haven't had a decent song in ten years. In some ways Green Day is a better group. Don't even use the word Beatles and U2 in the same sentence. It's like saying Andy Warhol and Da Vinca in the same sentence.
+searchlight18 There is no comparing ANYONE to the Beatles.But after that,U2 are as good as any band out there with a songbook and legacy that can match anyone's. Green Day are all well and good for 13 year old kids.
@Blackporsche roadster Exactly. They've got entire albums packed with monster songs. I'm not even thinking Of Joshua Tree! I think its awesome but its not in my top 3 from them
I felt I+E was their best tour in years... I thought they could be bothered again after what I perceived to be the lacklustre Vertigo and 360 tours. Can't wait for the experience part. :-)
U2 meilleur groupe au monde... Qu ils durent toujours. Je les adore et je les suis depuis tellement longtemps 😍😍😍bonne musique, personnages humbles et engagés, magnifique. Il y a toujours le son de U2 à la maison
Paul Mortimer Mike Patton of Faith No More does better. His vocal range is 6 octaves. One of your U2 fans on youtube tried to make fun of Faith No More fans. Unbeknownst to that person, Mike Patton is a far better singer. There's no comparison.
I don't understand the hatred from some towards these guys, I've only seen them once during their 360 tour, and let me tell you all it was AMAZING, I can't wait to see them again 😤
Eu ainda não tenho uma definição a respeito dessa banda. Só sei que vou aproveitar encanto estou aqui. Não vou apostar em uma nova oportunidade em outras vida.👍
Bono should never be embarrassed for writing and singing Iris. A beautiful song for his mother just like Tomorrow was for Iris too, and Kite and Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own for Bob. I'd love to put those feelings into words like that.
That tour set looks like something out of a Toy Store and the band are plastic dolls for the demi gods to play around with Im so glad Im not a pop star puppet
This band has guided me through life, the highs, the lows, I'm now 52 & their music still brings lots of tears of happiness & joy! ❤🙏 ...... I never knew the story behind Bono's mum Iris, much the same sadness as that of Larry's Mum which is evenmore tragic as he lost his mother & sibling in a car crash, how awful, now that brings alot of tears ...... Poor poor man & I very much love Larry the most, he's such an inspiration for me & the main reason I started playing drums!! Having watched the Sphere chapter in You Tube wishing I could have been there, sadly without Larry but still high level talent! I hope these guys go on for as long as they can, if the Rolling Stones can do it why not Adam Larry Bono & Edge ..... Larry seems to get better with age anyway as do thet all, accept Larry is suffering with parts falling off as he suggests due to a lifetime of banging a drum but I pray for maybe another couple if decades atleast because the producing & live deliverance of music is of such high quality & going to a U2 gig is just life changing, I know this from a few times over 🙏❤️....... God bless you U2 ❤
Indoors and inside a bubble. I mean - what's wrong with the air outside? Is there something we should know and aren't being told. Something the "philanthropists"; don't dare tell? They should write a new song: Suck it up - over populators.
So long as I am alive U2 will be THE ONE. , im not sorry, the band is not a circus. I will write what I and my family experienced in NI and Free State. This band is the the best in the world. and simple minds comes next. I will devote the rest of the time of my life to them, no one can match them. Our birthday is the same, my brother looks like him, and He and They have inspired me and helped meself and my family cope with what has occurred. Of course I admire many others and since I do not have much time left on this earth, for better or worse, I devote the rest of my life to their honesty, talent, love, and hopefully what I write for them and all committed to their outstanding, no only performance, yet the conveyance of what is sung, written and safely conveyed to the world. I KNOW BONO CAN PLAY AGAN> My mum had same trouble and he will recover, He needs ta right docs. IF not His voice, his writing, his lyric will live on. And every single fan in the world will support them. Keep on, brother, for you are a twin of my brother. Its ethereal. . I love Shebeen I love the Aussies and whilst U2 is my opinion the best, many other are as well, especially those who hae played and supported them in the past. Kindly keep doing so. God Bless all and always remembers only God knows all and hearts, With kind words, with prayer, with U2 and many other bands conveying thus our country will be FREE..Thank you for evermore this talent given to you by the almighty and using it for the best of all people. And I shall not mention the others who do the same here, you know who you are.
This isn't true it hasn't been 4 years since they've last toured they did the world tour to celebrate the Joshua Tree last year I would k ow bc I went to it
Love the music but Bono political views are far too extreme now.That was very strange about Sweden it is like he has been micro chipped all just gone insane?
i hope that they the first 15 years don't stop with making music . i'm 55 years old , ans fan off the beginning. when i came back from the war in Lebanon , i get depressed. U2 , Helpt me out off it . U2! Greatest band off two centuries, Thx boy's, for what you ment to me , and many other people. Godloves U2, And you too.
Great reportage.

Well said! 🙏💜💜💜💜
A true success story. God bless those 4 boys , long live rock n roll ❤

I hate that so many people hate Bono. He’s the best frontman in the world.
My life has been so much better just because U2 have always been there.
Me too. Just ignore the haters. F
May be there is a reason
And you guys are ignorant
Bono is great, but Michael Hutchence God bless his soul was greatest...
My admiration for U2 stopped the moment they enlisted themselves as a "Dutch" band to avoid the Irish taxes. He can talk as much as he wants about the unfairness of the world, but it sounds bitter and hypocrytical when you deny your own country the benifits of your work.

I don't like Bonos politics.
But U2 is awesome...
THE WILL BE ALWAYS BEST BAND IN THE PLANET! LOVE U U2
IRIS is one of the best U2 tracks ever !!!
Its unlistenable

Todd Payne amazing words there - same as me to the letter. U2 sounds track to my life also
@Todd Payne. Could NOT have said that any better. They are the real thing, and perhaps (?) , they have been the soundtrack of all our lives.
Me too! Saw this show at MSG in NYC and fell in love all over again. Fell in love with U2 in the early 80's and they have been soundtrack to my life too! Listening to U2 is always like going home ...
Todd Payne what type of band is u2
Todd Payne nice pun.

This guys knows how to tour. The really are the biggest band on earth.

Actually no, it’s Queen.
HG Elite
Don’t read Rolling Stone.It’s rubbish.
40 years strong and still the best band in the world.
They suck so bad
@@ihazshort8093 I enjoyed it
@@ihazshort8093 Bono can't sing, they haven't written a good song in 20 years. It's pathetic
@@hosoiarchives4858 , and you swallow
Best band on this world ♥
after 40 years.....still the biggest band on the planet..:)
True!!!!
NAH-STONES ARE. JUST LOOK AT THEIR SEPT/OCT EURO TOUR DATES. TICKETS SOLD OUT IN 2 WEEKS
dave lastman 2 weeks... U2 sells some concerts out in minutes.
mmaxsters the mode is Superior
guinness record holders
Saw this show at the Madison Square Garden...amazing as always!!!
So did I!
I love this extraordinary band...
The UA-cam algorithm has failed us when this video is randomly suggested to us half a dozen years later.
God bless U2!!!!

Love those men , such a significant part, 42 years long , in the soundtrack of my life they to this day play.
"He still can't play guitar" - LOL! He never could.

Larry Mullen Jr. Adam Clayton, The Dull and Pompous🥱
and they still say that The Beatles are the biggest band

Marios
Actually no it’s Queen.
I love this band and all their humour 😎
U2 puts on a show! Every other band just plays on stage. They actually played in the crowd this show.
So do Depeche Mode..I love both xx
That was very interesting, I got to see them in Chicago on June 24, 2015 and I saw them again in Miami on June 11, 2017. LOVE YOU U2!!!!!
Love this vidio of U2...
I felt I+E was their best tour in years... I thought they could be bothered again after what I perceived to be the lacklustre Vertigo and 360 tours. Can't wait for the experience part. :-)
I disagree, I thought the other Tours were great. Each to their own though.
yup, definitely
William Sauer PopMart was awesome, also.
I loved Popmart, what a spectacle
Bono doesn't pretend to be humble, and people resent him for that. 🙄
Edge is the hottest one out of all of them.
Bono and Edge thank GOD you are both okay. We couldn't live without you.
Bono still loves POPMART!!!
Best U2 tour
Songs come from the heart, like yours! Always!
I magically literally got their album "Songs of Innocence" into my iPod etc and I don't know how but I kind of like it
U2 meilleur groupe au monde... Qu ils durent toujours. Je les adore et je les suis depuis tellement longtemps 😍😍😍bonne musique, personnages humbles et engagés, magnifique. Il y a toujours le son de U2 à la maison
Legends
chicagooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Here we come!!
2015
All aged really well
Good bunch guys
Adored early U2
Been a fan from been 14 iam 54 now best band ever
the voice is as powerful as ever.
Welcome back U2
Paul Mortimer A voice with a vocal range of 3 octaves. Unimpressive.
so of course you could do better
30 plus years and counting cant be wrong
Paul Mortimer Mike Patton of Faith No More does better. His vocal range is 6 octaves.
One of your U2 fans on youtube tried to make fun of Faith No More fans. Unbeknownst to that person, Mike Patton is a far better singer. There's no comparison.
yep cos thats what makes a star how many octaves he or she has.each to there own
Thompson Twins hold the record for shortest tour in history. They broke up after opening night in Dublin.
Its not insecurity ... its what the were born for ..... sing n play
I don't understand the hatred from some towards these guys, I've only seen them once during their 360 tour, and let me tell you all it was AMAZING, I can't wait to see them again 😤
December 6th 1980 I saw U2 very first show in America. The Ritz NYC
"I can't do this. I'm a macho Irish singer..."
Says a man in his fifties wearing pink tinted glasses, earrings, and blonde highlights.
Yes, I totally Agree!
felt so bad when I saw that 4:09
edge has looked the same forever
Leonidas Diamandopoulos since 1993 to be exactly
it's the beanie
Awesome Interview!
A very candid Bono discussing cosmic synchronicities.
(below) I thought the dude below me wrote IRS is one of their greatest songs! 😂 LoL!
There is a scene that needs to be taken out of this video.
I was in a small room first show ever in America. The Ritz NYC Dec 6.1980.
Undeniably the biggest band in the world. Bassist, AdamClayton is the best rock bassist
amo esta banda son lo mejor ❤️👏👏 u2 fans U2 u2 u2. ...
Love u2 saw then in dublin best night of my life
700 million and how much in taxes did they avoid by having empty buildings in Amsterdam?
A band can stay together if they have the dream intact.
Yup , all for the environment. 24 semis
I Love This Band One of My Favorites at #1 in The Rock Music Scene!
they left "the huge outdoor stadiums" as the paying public are losing interest in a band whose last great album was over three decades ago...
Eu ainda não tenho uma definição a respeito dessa banda. Só sei que vou aproveitar encanto estou aqui. Não vou apostar em uma nova oportunidade em outras vida.👍
looks like robin williams (rip)

TK/TB-41066, out...
See you at Seoul this December 🤘🤘
One of the Arenas was SAP Center and the rehersal Arena is Rogers Arena in Vancouver Canada. The Sharks and Canucks NHL teams
set up fake charity and took all the money. But has some catchy tunes. Very short.
What charity?
That part where the interviewer says "These antique amps" uh..what? Those look like brand new Voxes to me...
brilliant reportage all is wonderful!!
One great rock band ! God bless !
The Sonic Soundscapes this band create are still insanely fantastic. Other worldly still
Great band! Like them during 30 years!👍👍👍
Sublime notre Bobo❤️👍👏❤️💓💓, génial U2 un grand groupe 😘😘😘😘😘👍👏, Grazie mille , 🇮🇹🙏❤️💓😘😉😍
Poor Bono, he still can't move some of his fingers!
Well Done & Congratulation's Bono & U2
This isn't true it hasn't been 4 years since they've last toured they did the world tour to celebrate the Joshua Tree last year I would k ow bc I went to it
This video was posted in 2015, I was sort of thinking the same thing until I checked.
GREATEST BAND EVER
"there's something in the jeopardy" what does that mean??
look at them. aging, but not much. rock keeps them young
MY MOST FAVORITE BAND EVER, NOT OUT ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA AKA "ELO"!
I wish the Edge would lose the freakin' beanie cap already.
Hi U2 my friends dad was your tour manager earlier he passed away I was wondering please say like a rip video it would mean a lot
The band did a tribute to him on that day during the end of a show. I was there.
nice piece
I didn't know Gordon Strachan was the new lead man for U2
Thank you!
bono could never play the guitar...
BEST GREATEST BAND U2 ALWAYS
Love the music but Bono political views are far too extreme now.That was very strange about Sweden it is like he has been micro chipped all just gone insane?
Wow. Just wow.
@@JL-kf8mw Whats wow about it,i used to love him especially when he did the song once in a lifetime with Clannad he was normal then
i hope that they the first 15 years don't stop with making music .
i'm 55 years old , ans fan off the beginning.
when i came back from the war in Lebanon , i get depressed.
U2 , Helpt me out off it .
U2! Greatest band off two centuries,
Thx boy's, for what you ment to me , and many other people.
