@@duncanmcgroyne9317 You're a superfan. Honestly, I just go with the original recording, when I watch a live act, I really just listen without having the ear for the differences. The Fly sends me on a hypnotic trip---but it is the one from the original album I must admit.
Paper dolling !! I’ve been commenting on your account for years under different accounts as I’ve been barred a couple of times by the thought police on you tube , anyhow , just wanted to pass on my appreciation for your brilliant uploads … i remember back in the 90s I was paying $60-$120 AU for U2 life bootlegs … 👍👍
Attitude baby Attitude. I think this song brings out Attitude in U2. Look The Edge kicking ass at playing guitar !!! Higher powers, that’s what U2 has higher powers !!! TopJimmy
@@Sebmpg Oooo so wrong. As The Edge 2 of the group 4U2 ;) I have watched hundreds of videos in my research on reproducing his precision and sounds, and I assure you there has been a few howlers in his time. Once Bono even stopped in the middle of 'One' and corrected Edge that he was playing the chorus instead of the verse...on the Fly in Dublin 2018 he dropped 3 big boobs in the Fly solo...I was there 3 meters in front of him....Bono finished the song with a wrily laugh saying "An Edge Fuck-up" I've several other examples but they underline even more his humanity and humbleness....lets never forget, 43 years on, and millions of notes played, there bound to be a couple of mistakes...BUT WHAT A GENIUS...MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE HERO Edge 2
it is good, but the 2001 Boston version is better, and it is the only one I would take over the original zoo tv version. One reason I love U2 is they are continually trying to move forward. i havent cared for anything since atyclb but I admire them for pushing forward. It is this trait that gives us the many re workings of their live versions of songs. They can't even refrain from trying to improve songs they have already released.
@@duducar3016 agreed, I read somewhere once that the reason they didnt keep the elevation tour version of the fly was because Bowie didnt think it was fine tuned enough and preferred this format
Have always wondered whether Bono’s guitar is even connected in this song and others. He knows enough to be dangerous on the guitar but not much more than that.
I just love how u2 songs just literally grab you by the throat and demand your attention...songs that say you're going to listen to me and you're going to love it....
@@kenichi407 he plays it but he’s playing sustained chords and also they turned down his guitar down by a lot, in the Chicago film you can barely hear the guitar but you can hear he’s just strumming the same chord
Great Job... love to whole copy together...This was the show # 5 for me on the tour!!! We were right in front of Edge...GREAT JOB ON VIDEO AND SOUND!!!!!!
D. MC - you originally said this was such an exciting time to be a U2 fan. This was filmed in 2011. Just letting you know. ‘The Fly’ came out in 1991 of course.
Michael Griffiths - Sorry, although I think you understand what I meant. This song, and the energy around it...it was a great time for U2 fans. Yes, U2 can still make some magic but sadly it is almost exclusively with old songs. It's just not the same, from HTDAAB onward. It happens to all of the best popular artists. U2 were great, but they just don't have it anymore.
D. MC - what do you think of ‘Kite’ from All That You Can’t Leave Behind? And how about the live orchestra version of ‘Every Breaking Wave’ from the European Music Awards three years ago? I actually think Pop was the first time U2 showed signs of losing that magic you speak of. Passengers and Zooropa had it in spades.

The most underrated part of this great track is Mullen's drums. The entire song (even the Album)....just pure joy.
But he isn’t playing the original beat.

@@wreckim I’ve been a u2 Superfan since the War album up to NLOTH.
@@duncanmcgroyne9317 did you stop being a super fan🤔
Underrated by…whom, exactly? Can you name one single, solitary U2 fan who doesn’t dig Larry-? C’mon.
Bono just gives a reminder of why he was the coolest rockstar on the planet from 1987-2012

I was at this show in GA - epic! Can't wait to see this in Vegas!!!!!!!!
Amazing. ...love the blending of their voices........ 💙
Those guitar solo to The Edge makes me high!!!
This is the greatest LIVE BAND EVER doing what the GREATEST LIVE BAND EVER DO
How many awesome versions of The Fly are there? Seems endless.
yep , and every different version is just another intoxicating gift , The Fly & Zooropa are unworldly, futuristic tracks that always will be
Edge stunning as always !!
This live version rocked!!💙
The last leg of this tour was incredible. Saw them at Giants stadium a few days before this show and the energy was insane !
I don't have any words to describe it!!! its amazing!!!
+Liz Val I think it's pretty cool
those are 2 words.
“Kraut rock circa 1991”... love it!
I'm running out of change... Those were the days.
U2, NOTE to selves !!! For SOE, WE need more EDGE !!!!!!
Attitude baby Attitude. I think this song brings out Attitude in U2. Look The Edge kicking ass at playing guitar !!!
Higher powers, that’s what U2 has higher powers !!! TopJimmy
I don’t think The Edge has ever missed a note. And if he has, has covered it up well. I’ve been watching for thirty years.
Albany 2001. He fucked up the Kite solo.

2:48 Edge took it to another level.....again
Larry is actually looking at Edge and smiling because he is so on fire.
The fly knocked Bryan Adams off number 1 after 16 weeks in 1991😆😆😁🎤😄
@@davidattwell2574 Did U2 took first place? I thought they never had number one hits??
Bravo
💛👁️🎵
Just perfect, Jimmy Hendrix was in the house that night. A classic U2 song.

did paul rose win his lawsuit
thankyou2532 Hahahaha, no, he definitely did not win his lawsuit.
paul rose's song did sound very simular to u2s the fly,i think u2s big bucks and fame unfairly won that suit .love didnt fall on that judgement
Greg V
Boston 2001 is in my opinion one of Rock’s top 10 best performances, period!
@@duducar3016 agreed, I read somewhere once that the reason they didnt keep the elevation tour version of the fly was because Bowie didnt think it was fine tuned enough and preferred this format
Fantastic sound, Fantastic Edge & Bono, Fantastic Band !!!!
Qué fabuloso vídeo de u2 carnal viva u2 viva Bono
I think I just cried
Achtung You'all!!!!!😍😎🎵🎶🎸🥁🆎️🔝
Hewson ?
You know Paul from Dublin? Lol
@@ed4253 ofcourse i know him...i even met him in Berlin at his hotel on the E+I tour...not joking...😊
@@U2HL thats awesome. Was it a fan event or did you luck out?
@@ed4253 i have been waiting at the entrance of the hotel...he came out and Adam and Edge too!😍
Que hermosa Fender usa Bono
Fucking badass . U2 atadium power at its best .
Wow!
Itelkner m
Great video...and the performance fucking rips.
one of my personal favorites
Nice black Tele
When they used to make good music...
Have always wondered whether Bono’s guitar is even connected in this song and others. He knows enough to be dangerous on the guitar but not much more than that.
I Prefer The Vertigo Tour Brazil 2006 Version. For Me, The Best Version Of The Fly Song Live.
That is a great version. Different guitar tone for sure. He used the line6 variax guitar then. This vid back to a 73 Strat.
Does Bono play guitar???? Sure, like playback, backing guitar track... he is way to dumb, but he is lucky Edge is one of his best friends
this version sucks
My best U2’s song ever!!!!
I just love how u2 songs just literally grab you by the throat and demand your attention...songs that say you're going to listen to me and you're going to love it....
Songs like the fly, Exit, God part 2,Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me it’s like they grab you and scream in your face and say LETS ROCK
Its great to see Bono playing the guitar with the edge, Adam and Larry. .... they leave you in AWE 🎉💜🙏
The audio quality on this is amazing. Among the best audience recordings I've ever heard.
Guitar714 fuck the camera, it’s U3
Bonoの声が回復してよかった❗❗
これ、すごい！
高品質なライブ演奏！
数々、観てきたライブ映像のなかで
この『FLY』はBESTだと思います🎵
cool, im glad you like it. It's courtesy of "Heartland". I'll be uploading the complete show here with his audio.
The day bono still played the guitar, amazing :)
kenichi yeah, I’m guessing that Dallas just leaves Bono’s guitar unplugged.
@@kenichi407 he plays it but he’s playing sustained chords and also they turned down his guitar down by a lot, in the Chicago film you can barely hear the guitar but you can hear he’s just strumming the same chord
Great to see U2 just be a band again. Larry loves this.
What a f’kin band… 👊🏽👌🏽❤
Great Job... love to whole copy together...This was the show # 5 for me on the tour!!! We were right in front of Edge...GREAT JOB ON VIDEO AND SOUND!!!!!!
This night was so special! Going to have to put this on a dvd or twelve so I can have it forever
Love so much this song,makes me feel so happy.
Last time Bono looked like the fly!
He just needs to wear all leather again
Dam sounds great
He was being anti-social, he wouldnt come to Edges side
thank you for the most energetic magnificent footage ever 🌈🍀
Fabuleux ! The Edge le maître.
That’s why they’re the biggest best band ever , at will they rock the fuckin shit out of stadiums
Achtung baby tour 🕶😎2020
Looks great, sounds great, can't wait for the whole show :)
rock .........
A joyful noise
What a band !
Great 👍🏻
It's funny watching Bono pretend he can play guitar ❤️
every U2 song - is Edge's solo basically
Exelente
ha! not quite but thanks
Sem dúvida uma das melhores da banda e um dos solos mais tops individualmente sem palavras 👏🤟
wow thank you
Rock
This is probably the best live version of The Fly that I’ve ever heard. Brilliant!
zoo tv imo
Boston 2001. An absolute masterpiece.
yes that was rocking
Bad ass!
Gotta love how the rhythm boys are dressed just for another day on the job!!
LOL at Bono trying to play guitar, it’s probably not even plugged in. Edge on the other hand....you weapon.👌
Of course it's plugged in - you can hear Bono's guitar first at the start of the song.
EVERYTHING YOU KNOW IS WRONG !
he would come to Edge's side when I would wave him over!
👌✌👊🤟❤
Wicked !!!!
This here was an exciting time to be a U2 fan. It's such a shame they didn't retire after POP, their last masterpiece. They're just so awful now.
D. MC - you do realize this was 2011, right? 😂
Michael Griffiths - yeah...playing a song from like 1992. 🤣
