- "Let Freedom Ring..."
"On this spot where we're standing, 46 years ago, Dr King had a dream. On Tuesday, that dream comes to pass." U2 performed 'Pride' and 'City of Blinding LIghts' to an audience of 400,000 in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on January 18th, 2009.
Samuel L Jackson recalled Martin Luther King and how "a band from Ireland was moved by Dr King's message and his sacrifice and wrote a song to remember and honour him..."
"Let freedom ring," announced Bono as U2 arrived on stage and struck up the opening bars of Pride (In The Name of Love). This is not just an American dream,' he said. "Also an Irish dream, an European dream, an African dream an Israeli dream ... and also a Palestinian dream."
'Let freedom ring, let freedom ring....' he continued, as Edge played the opening chords to City of Blinding Lights. "What a thrill for four Irish boys from the north side of Dublin to honour you sir, the next president of the United States, Barack Obama...'
Thank you U2!!!! Still inspiring through this recording.
A pesar de los años fue fantastico
I miss this time
Wat a messenger.. wat a performance- never fails to bring tears to one's eyes -- I lov you to.🤝
We love you RAMO!!!
Awesome
Thanks Bono - I so wish you could have come back today and celebrate with us again - but with a different winner. Maybe in a couple of years...
Uma das melhores banda de rock do mundo
This just brings tears to my eyes!
Glad I’m not the only one.
Epic.
they are the best
essa banda é muito boa
Ramo, Ramo, my friend, can you hear my sobbing?
Same here. Let freedom ring. Shm
There was no energy because we were FREEZING OUR BALLS OFF. Do you have any idea how cold it was? I was wearing two t-shirts, a hoodie, a sportscoat, and an overcoat, and I was freezing my ass off. I think Bono did a great fucking job, too. You could feel the energy from the performers through the entire show, especially during U2 and Garth Brooks' performances.
Thank you for showing up despite the temperature hardship! All these years later, it remains a treasure in American history.
Bono work hard to become money man brilliant he is money man
they até the best
"...Also a Palestinian Dream..." That dream and other dreams are not yet fullfilled.

It wasn't until I got older and understood the lyrics better that I realised this song is about Jesus 🙌❤️👏👍

KenfromDublin , don't say stupid things, they didn't murder anybody. The only thing that happend with you is that you are with envy because U2 is the best music group ever and of course, better that your fauvorite group. This is the why because you say stupid things, that you're with envy.
I hope Tim Scott becomes the 1st African American president. Lol 😉
Bono is such a democrat
Read my comments again bigollameo, you've lost the run of yourself, and as for comments on relevant issues and injustices Bono and U2 never spoke out against the terrible injustices being perpetrated against their half million partitioned compatriots by the jackboots of their foreign oppressors during the so called troubles just an hours drive up the road from Dublin.
Bono is full of hot air and should stick to what he is good at.
Too bad Pantera split, otherwise it would have been the most perfect band to inaugurate Donald Trump
j'aime pas
bono sold his soul to the devil, that's for sure. or, he was with the devil from the beginning.
disgusting. I dont think this is what America (veterans) deserve. I miss real America. This is pure polyester.
