I adore this series - so sad it stalled out. Is there anywhere I can find the UF episode?
Let me use this comment as a conduit for responding to these types of questions I've gotten continuously over the last few years. First - thank you so much for watching and enjoying the videos! I really enjoy making them. A little over two years ago I finished the UF episode, and ran into a myriad of copyright issues pertaining to the Live Aid footage when trying to upload the video. I tried for a long time to reshape the video to get around these copyright issues without affecting the quality of the video (both visually and creatively). After about a year I took a break, just getting too frustrated after seemingly taking all possible pathways to try to get it uploaded (including attempting to contact Bob Geldof). I still intend to upload the UF episode to UA-cam one way or another, and I have larger plans for the rest of the series at large. The series is not cancelled in any way, but maybe on hiatus. I will not attempt to predict any timeframe the next episode will be uploaded, because I've been really bad at that in the past and I don't want to set expectations that I don't 100% know that I can hold to. But again, thank you for watching! I still read every comment made on this channel, even today, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the kind words on a hard day.
@@iloveu2431 I can’t wait for the uf video I’ve been watching these videos for so long I love them so much. Maybe try tinting the live aid footage or maybe distorting it or something maybe that would work?
@@iloveu2431 pleeease release the uf episode soon! we've been waiting for it for so long!
@@popcorn8411 .. UF ?

Even as nobodies, U2 were the best damn live band you've ever seen. Those early gigs were legendary and made them into stars.
39 years later, "Boy" album still sounds like new!
Digital Neko So Good ❤️🤠🎵
@@ihazshort8093 It's neither new or old, it is timeless. There is no other album of its kind.
As someone who was obsessed with Boy and clung to it during the last two months of my senior year in 2015, it’s so nice to see someone else be passionate enough to make an informative video about it. This album is so raw and painful but I will never forget it.
My personal favorite of them, that hit my heart at the right age.
Gentilly Girl I agree with you 💯 % .
I heard this for the first time in 83 .
What an amazing year that was !!!
Got to see 3 bands that year at age 16/17-
The Police , U2 and Bowie .
( U2 was more like 84 I believe).
I miss those days .....
It's an excellent album, so deep!
You haven’t heard of it? You will!! 40 years later still going strong
I still.remember when i was 17 years old and a friend of my older brother who was into his music said to me , so you want to here some good music and handed me a copy of U2 Boy. It was amazing. I must have played it hundreds of times . New all the lyrics . The start of a long time following of U2. Awesome band. It was 1981 .
Phillip Rhodes Another comment I totally connect with .
I started in 83 ( instant U2 fan at first listen ).
This brings back so many great memories ❤️🤠🔪
U have my Sub 2 .
It was boys 40th birthday yesterday one of the best albums ever
I was a U2 fan from the age of ten or so, and it wasn't until last week, thirty years later, that I finally sat down and listened to Boy for the first time. I absolutely love it, especially An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart. It has such a great feel to it. I always was more into the atmospheric Unforgettable Fire and the dark Achtung Baby/Zooropa, but Boy may have knocked them out of first place. No idea why it took me so long to listen to the album. That said, I have also yet to listen to October, lol. One of these days....
I’ve been a U2 fan since I was 2 I’m 14 now my dad was playing Stories for boys on The Tv and I was glued then he played I will follow and then the rest of boy then he put on ZooTv I was FRICKING GLUED TO THE TV I dressed up as the fly all the time and I pretended to be bono I still sing today everyone says I sound a lot like Bono and I’m proud of that bono is my idol
Brother, I’m 57 and was lucky enough to know U2 from their beginnings. Over the many years, so many records have been spun. It’s hard to remember sometimes older albums when you get consumed by new stuff. Of course for many, the songs found on Boy remind us of U2’s younger raw thrash days. Do yourself a favor & do a chronological listen of their stuff.
Boy, was; and still is, my favorite album.
Chip Schmidt Great Choice !!!!
My question is :
Out of All U2 Albums this is your favorite?
Or out of All Bands , this is your favorite?
My favorite U2 album is so hard to choose from .
I think the one that I listened to the most was “ WAR “ .
So that might be my favorite.
But if you are talking Out of All Albums ????
I’d have to say “ The Who - Who’s Next “.Happy 2020 2 U my friend and thanks for sharing.
My favourite U2 album, and the best example of Edges great guitar style and unique sound.
Boy, War, The Joshua Tree & Achtung Baby for me :-)
@@tubes5150 my favorite U2 album. To much other great music to choose a favorite, there
I’ve been recently listening to “I will follow” as a Dublin boy, I’m proud of this song, being written by a legendary Dublin band
They basically a british band in essence
daniel courtney oh my god shut up
@@Drumm3rB0y Adam Clayton is English, The Edge is English/Welsh, Bonos roots are british, Paul McGuinness was English. Like Phil Lynnot was was also English
@@greatone7314 bono,wdge,adam,and Larry all grew up in the Dublin area which was a bigger influence than their parants ,except bono and edge were brought up protestant
I have listened to "I Will Follow" over 11,000 times..Its my favorite song of all time ...EVER!! The cd in my truck has 12 versions of this song on it..
TheMightybasstone Happy 2020 2U 🤠
I have been in so many bands over the years .
I play bass and vocals .
And each band I was ever in , we had to include “ I Will Follow “ .
My favorite time singing it , was ( are you ready )??
Was in 1987 .
I was in Guam during my Navy days , and there was a local band playing on the island .
That band kicked ass !!! They were so good !!! ( can’t think of their name right now but it will come to me ).
Anyway - during a break , I was talking to the lead singer .
I asked him , if They wouldn’t mind me joining them onstage to sing “ IWF “.
They did .
I was so nervous.
( I had about 30 of my shipmates in attendance- and they never heard me sing 🎤).
Well - We pulled it off and the place went into another gear all of a sudden .
They really liked it and invited me back to do more .
God ! Those were the days !!!!
Just wanted to share that with you.
And I just subscribed.
Hope to connect 🙏
Have a Safe and happy 2020 ❤️🤠🔪
Just when I thought I knew all there was to U2, this doc and the War Album doc tells me otherwise. Great job! I hope the upcoming Netflix take on the band explores a lot of this stuff I did not know.
The band has been a personal salvation since " War" and sealed with the Joshua Tree album to now. Unlike many, I can see past Bono's political grandstanding where it has never affected my admiration of the band. More like this on the whole catalog!
Great album.
Into the heart is my favourite. Also enjoyable to learn on the guitar.
Thanks for the upload.
Karol Slavik ❤️🎵🎵🎵🎵” Into the Hearrrrrtttt....”🎵🎵🎵🎵❤️
Love it !!
Dude, this shit is fantastic. Easily subbed. Incredible job. I can't wait to watch the other albums.
RedTV8888 I subbed to your channel and this as well .
Can’t believe I’m just finding this now !
So Awesome and already made my 2020 a Magnificent one .
This really takes me back to another time and place .
I was a U2 nut in 1983 - 84 .
Watched them live like 5 times ???
One thing I remember the most was I never have a voice after a U2 show haha .
All that singing and yelling .....
Great Memories ❤️🤠🔪🙏🎵
Boy is my favorite album-ever! (Seriously, it's my #1 Favorite Album of All Time.)
Great job. I’ve been a fan since Boy hit the US. I have the original album cover. There was footage in that I’ve never seen. Cheers. Looking forward to the other vids.
"I bought these clothes so i could look like you". Honest even when angry..
I was born just a few weeks before this record was released so u2 are special to me . good job.
Craig Usselman So Awesome !!
Thanks for sharing that .
When I was born , the big album and movie , was “ The Sound of Music “ haha .
Classic ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
Happy 2020 2 U .
Great Job Man. You make great documentaries .... I really appreciate the amount of time went into research and editing of this video, as well as your passion for the band. But I will suggest you to make more of these docs and about different people too. You know like other rock and roll bands too. This was such a treat. Thanks.
AnantAgarwal I totally agree 💯 % !!
This is like my 3 rd time watching today and I was thinking that too .
Great Advice ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U
Boy is their best album, love every song on here
Thank You so so much for this post of yours . I Loved every second of it
Kev Pilling Me 2 ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
I went to high school with the Bodeans, and I remember the headiness of knowing that these "home town boys" I only knew in the halls of school were starting a meteoric rise...so we hoped. Sadly, they never became another U2, only reaching more of a regional audience, though they did have a few national hits. This was a great documentary, please do more for each of their albums if you can - especially delving into Bono's lyrics, which are many times intense and gut wrenching.
My band will try to be the next u2 my guitarist can get edges tone with no effects and it sounds great we don’t have a name yet I suggested U3 lol
Awesome job! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Whoa, I'd never seen the freakout Bono had.
tg72201 guess he really means it after all this time huh?
These are very good documentaries! Please keep making them!
BOY what a great album! Still have a much played cassette tape. Larry was such a baby face - my first crush 💯♥️
MLea Blev I had the cassette too !!
I think I still might ??!!
Such a great comment 🤠❤️🎵
Happy 2020 2 U
I'm an 80s guy, but i only discovered U2 Boy on cassette in the 1990s. I had already heard their Achtung, Zooropa, and even Pop stuff. Thats what i knew them for so when I heard Boy i was blown away. Best iterations of U2 was the Boy-October-War era IMO.
Awesome!! Really liked this documentary!! Thanks for doing this!! Hope you do more albums!
So much I had never seen, incredible job and thank you!
John Chipman I know , right ??
I thought I knew everything about U2 ??? Haha
You are so right on though .
This was just awesome and I’ll be watching again and again .
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
It's easy to forget that U2 were New Wave Pop Punk when they started...I love how they have transformed their sound throughout the years...With all those albums and songs there's really something for everyone:)
@Billy Idol I don't have the last two albums Songs of Experience and Songs of Innocence...I'll have to check them out!:)
@Billy Idol oh cool!...Well the record business with regards to sales(among other ways)has certainly changed...Even a band as large as U2 are probably not above the fray...I don't know for sure, but they seem like a band who have always done things their way:)
I love the Boy album since I was a child & I’ve always been curious about the facts & making of it.
This got me emotional a little 🥲
This is amazing! Thank you for doing all of this amazing research.
Ben K Really is Awesome ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U 😎
I learn’t to play guitar bc of The Edge, particularly “An Cat Dubh” for some reason. It spoke to me and I was able to pick out the dissonant notes. Incidentally it was the first song that told me to tune down the guitar a half step to play the album like they did. Breaking the rules like Hendrix did too.
learn’t?
One of my absolute favorite albums of theirs, I can listen to it from start to finish easy peasy.
Excellent! I so enjoyed this. Thanks❤
Stephanie murria You are not alone .
This is my 3 rd time watching today .
Really been bringing back so many great memories.
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
These are wonderful!
The Lyceum? In Dublin?!!! Good God!!!! It's in London! Still, it's all about the music, and here it's U2 in their pomp....
Brilliant work!! Just discovered your channel. Thank you so much for putting this together!! There were some details in there I did not know about and I've been a fan since the mid 80s. Bravo!
Been a huge fan since I first heard Pride In The Name Of Love. They are my second favorite band of all time. Also love that they are not afraid to take a stand for what is right. Rock On LOVE IT ✌I wonder what happened to the boy that is on the cover
He lives in Google now....
@@Mark-ix4zt sorry for late reply. Been Beatles fan since May 63. All time favorite
Great production. MORE PLEASE!
brilliant production on this video. Thanks for the entertainment. I've been a fan since '83
Very well done!
I love how you bring in the opening kick drum over the end of Into the Heart,
as well as how you bring in A Day Without Me.
Jason Lefler Great Comment 🤠
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🙏🎵
Cowboy C Bop Thank you, Cowboy!
Made my day that much brighter 🤠
This vid is what - 3 years old ??? And I’m just now finding??
This is by far the best vid on UA-cam in 2020 ❤️
( it would of been had I found in 2017 ).
Really do appreciate you sharing this .
Love it 😍!!!!!
I saw them at a bar in Ames in 81. They were fantastic. Got there early and was in front row. I still have the set list that I tore off the monitor.
Greg Davis That is So Awesome!!!
I totally appreciate things like that ,
What an incredible experience ❤️
And I’m sure that every time you see the set list , it takes you right back to a much better time and place .’
Thank you for sharing that and Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
still the best U2 album ever. it’s brilliant.
Great job. Way to go. Keep those coming.
Mr. J I’m with U !!
This was pure awesomeness and I look forward to watching more.
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
Good job. Very pro.
Fabulous documentary - thanks so much.
you don't know how many times I have watched this series of videos, Love the history of U2, specially this era where they were more punkish and "aggressive". Love the editing and the way you tell us the story.
Big early U2 fan here. A completely different sound compared to the music they produced in the latter half of their career.
injanhoi1 I must agree in what you are saying to an extent .
They just had a lot more money to play with effects in the later years . Did you ever see them Live ?? Even when they play “ Sunday Bloody Sunday “ nowadays, it’s not RAW like it was originally.
Got more of a Fuller sound and a much greater punch .
Happy 2020 2 U 🤠
Great job on this video!
Hey! Nice job man! This was great!
Your editing and narration are very professional, amazing videos
Incredible information! 💚☘️💯👍🏻
OMG, the opening segment was from "The New Music," an extremely intelligent Canadian music show, featuring style icon Jeannie Beker, JD Roberts (now John Roberts, CNN news journalist, Christopher Ward, Daniel Richler and others) This is such an amazing early interview with Bono and Adam!!!
Amazing!
Erick Liberty Agreed 💯 % !!
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
U2 1978-1987 were the best. kinda lost me after that but those early years were truly magical times for all involved
Great job mate!
I was the first guy in my town to own this record. What a sound it was !
huskyjerk That is So Cool 😎!!!
So it was you that starting spreading this wonderful contagious beautiful music - that is still going strong 40 some years later .
Huge Thank You ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U
@@tubes5150 It was in a college town at that !
That is so cool .
In a college town - and you were the first to find this really .
And then the word gets out .
They become like the greatest band out there .
I love finding artists and sometimes hate it when they explode big time .
Like - I still have “ Echo and The Bunnymen “ to myself it seems .
Not too many people around my area know of them.
Still to this day !
But somehow they sure do pack Em in when they play live .
I’m like “ Where did you all come from and where were you in the 80’s “?????
Hahahaha.
You know what I’m saying.
Thanhs and have an awesome Sunday 🤠
Was it just me or when Bono jumped off the thing and everyone was laughing I felt the embarrassment and when he said I bought these clothes so I can look like you I honestly kinda wanted to cry
This is awesome!!❤️❤️🤟🏻
Good work, man.
This was an excellent time capsule look into the very early years. Lots of great info and images. I love U2 too.
Peter Yianilos So Good !!
This brought back so many great memories ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U
Cowboy C Bop Wishing you a great 2020 as well. Last year was full of pain and I’m moving forward.
Stay positive ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
Reach out anytime.
As I know all about pain .
I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🙏
Great, thank you ☺️
Well done
FANTASTIC!
Brian Folks Agreed ❤️❤️
Happy 2020 2 U
Great great band..especially the earlier years
Great album
God bless U2 forever and ever
They knew full well how big they'd become I think. Electric Co has always made Bono a little, angry; which is good. Great video.
Great energy & spark on that first album, they possessed a great chemistry from the get go. Those first two albums are pretty special.
Offdrive3 So Good ❤️🤠🔪
Happy 2020 2 U !!
The only girl on a Caribbean island who loved U2 in ridiculous fashion. 🤣😂 Fun days.
I was working in a record store in 1980 and remember unpacking albums from a recent shipment. I opened up a box and found 20 copies of “Boy”, marked them as received later moved them to the floor. I eventually put a copy on the turntable. After it played, I turned to a gal I worked with, looked her in the eye and said “This band is going to be huge.” They became my favorite right then and there.
Mark Teixeira That is Such a Great Memory 🤠
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
Cowboy C Bop Thank you 😊. Happy 2020 to U2 😆
A couple corrections: The gig where they signed their record deal was The Stadium. The national boxing stadium on South Circular Road, with Bill Stewart from Island. The Lyceum is in London not Dublin. They had great shows there but it wasn't where they signed to Island.
Boy is an incredible album; it might be my favourite u2 record
40 years today !!!
Just found your channel. Tremendous.
Awesome video
We wait for a new docu!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Love this album
No mention of the band being known as The Hype when they were still a small Dublin band. After they won a competition with an Irish radio host known as Dave Fanning helped give them a helping hand.
no mention of their original name "Feedback" or that they played their first couple of gigs as a 5-piece band.
@@coldacre Yes, back in September of 1978, Larry Mullen put up an advertisement to start a band. The members that we know now including a member that soon left. Formed in Larry's House and they'd practice their sound for hours. Before doing their early gigs.
I only like U2.... but this kind of quality fandom is super endearing. Subscribed.
Michael McDonald One of my favorite words “ endearing “.
Does not get used often .
Very Underrated.
Awesome Comment !!!
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
One of the best bands in the world back when they were just 4 guys playing/singing on stage. Before glitzy spectacle and messianic posturing became more important than music.
Frank Bama messianic?? Messianic posturing is right here in this early footage!. What did Bono say when he ripped his pants: ‘I bought these to be like you’. Here, he is *exactly in the spirit of messiah - cos Messiah bought our death to be like us! He didn’t die his own death - those weren’t his trousers! You might say messiah split his trousers, my trousers, and became a laughing spectacle, naked on a Roman cross because he wants so to identify with humanity!
This is *exactly messianic!!
Hahahahaha ❤️
Happy 2020 2 U
This is really well done..
Rob Ducharme Yes ❤️🤠🎵
Happy 2020 2 U !!
Best seller!
Nice summary! Man, I wish I could go back to the early 80's... I would have paid more attention!
Oscar Jetson Hahahaha
I know what you mean .
I was there but memories fade .
All I know is that 1983 was like my eye opening year for more music .
I was 16 / 17 .
A major Aerosmith and Who and Stones nut .
Then in 83 - I went to 3 very important shows that changed my life for the better .
Watched “ The Police “ , “ Bowie “ and “ U2 “.
Magical I tell you .
I wish I could go back in time and relive those moments .
Great Comment by the way .
Happy 2020 2 U ❤️🤠🔪🎵🙏
Wow, this was great!

Excellent video! I’ve been a tremendous fan of U2 for decades and I never knew about Bono’s tirade over his split pants or his throwing Larry’s drum kit into the audience. Interesting little nuggets!
This was one of the best bands in the world at one time.... they lost me after Unforgettable Fire.
Un disco maduro para ser hecho por chicos de veinte años , tiene ese sonido post punk (que se extendio hasta war ) que me encanta , aun suena fresco a casi cuarenta años de ser lanzado .
Boy è uno dei più grandi dischi d'esordio di tutti i tempi
Very interesting and it really took me back to the early 80s when I first experienced their music and really loved their whole vibe. That continued for me well into the early 2000s...and I realize Bono is trying to help people, etc...but I can't get past the political grandstanding (as I see it), although I know that tons of fans love him/them because of it. For me, it was always about the music, and the joy I still feel when I listen to that first album really gets to me every time. A truly great group whose sum total, much like The Beatles, far outweighs their individual parts. They were just meant to be together and create their music.
The lyrics on the screen are wrong on Out Of Control. He actually sings “they were so glad” not “it was so bad” . 05:58 in the video.
That’s what I thought
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Marina Reynolds Yup !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I will follow is my favorite. First concert was U2 at The Paradise in Boston
QShookMeAllNightLong What year ??
My first time seeing U2 was in 83 .
What an awesome time to be a fan .
That year / I was 16/17 years old .
Was a huge Aerosmith fan and Who and Stones nut - Then I saw U2 and my life changed .
Same year I saw the Police and Bowie .
Magical !!!
