Completely agree. In the interest of full disclosure, I have been very critical of his vocals ever since about 2010 2011. But my goodness he totally nailed this one. All of them. But his vocals on this for absolutely brilliant and gave me goosebumps. Vintage Bono.
I4's interesting. My son is 19 and is a trainwreck. I fear he's going to be in jail by year's end. It pains me so much because he's either going to jail, or he's going to end up a drugee. I'm a quadriplegic - been there for 26 years. People tell me - oh, I couild never do what you do every day. Yet, I'm thinking "How can you do this?" Mad respect. May God bless you.
@@jameschanda8743 I have listened to all the versions. All are amazing! When I play this music I put it on repeat, can listen to one song for so long! Thank you U2
Bono's voice has always been amazing. It's just that they've been around too long for anyone to notice. especially peeps that did not grow up in the 80s.
@@raiderpaderI played the album over and over again. This song and Song For Someone was the soundtrack inside of my head in the autumn and winter of 2014 - 2015
You forgot about their 2003 Oscars performance of 'The Hands That Built America' or 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own' performed all the way thru the Vertigo Tour.
Thom Dorke Miss Sarajevo is one of his best performances ever, it still gets me. But you're right, I do not know what he's with his voice, but I am glad, it sounds amazing.
Some time in the 90's, it was plausibly the truth. But sadly not many vocalists last on into theirs 60's. This is a very good performance though, impressive.
Bonos voice was at its peak (imho) in 1986. It's showcased on the Conspiracy of Hope gigs. I think that Joshua Tree was also recorded in 1986 which has some amazing vocals (eg redhill mining town)
Bonsoir U2, Nous n'avons pas l'habitude de vous entendre "" Monsieur Bonno"", sur ce registre d'émotions. Belle prestation!!! c'est déchirant!!! Les sentiments sont bien là. Merci du partage.
Could not agree more. For me the Beatles until the early 80's when I found out about this great awesome group[, who byt the way, are still belting out hit after hit after hit and yet people still try to tell me they have done nothing since the Joshua tree.....what dumbarsses - hehehehehhehe
+chan kityuen U2 has always been better live than their studio tracks. It's what makes them the biggest band in the world. Their live arrangements are superior.
chan kityuen I agree with you completely, the MTV version is by far the best of this song. He put SO much passion in this performance. "Outstanding Performance" !!
lol maybe! Edge actually sings better, tbh - he has the stronger voice between them. :D. I just hate how his voice gets drowned out sometimes. The boys play hard and Bono doesn't have the biggest voice. I'm always like GDI turn Bono's mike up some! It's still a good one, though!
@@DylanLeviYork ngl in the song miracle drug when they both sing i couldn't even tell the difference until i learned edge singed a part, they're basically the same except you can hear the edges accent more when he sings
In 2014 or 2015 they released their album free on Apple Music. If they haven't done that, I never would have found this amazing song and all the others on that album. I remember that being the only album on my phone, and listening to it over and over at the age of 15. Now years later, my husband sings it to me. Grateful.
I sing this to my little girl at bedtime albeit no in the same stratosphere as Bono a beautiful song and this is an unforgettable version. Goosebumps every time I hear it.
Love this! His passion is infectious. Sorry, but there is no other singer songwriter like Bono. He is passion, humility, a very humble soul. You see his soul when he performs, especially this performance.
Bono has one of the world's best singing voices ever. He has a wide range, a lot of power, great and distinctive tone, raw, unchained emotion, passion and hge knows just when to crack, just when to put some gravel in his voice. Every word is sung like he's lived it and believes it.
Just my humble opinion: best MTV live show ever: U2 best super bowl halftime show performance ever: U2 best festival ever: U2 (red rocks) best live aid performance ever: U2 best tour ever: U2 360
Dear members of U2: Thank you for your music. You really inspire me . Every time I see this performance on UA-cam gives me goosebumps and make me drop some tears from my eyes because I'm able to see the passion that is now quite lost in this modern era. I feel you guys can touch my soul and that doesn't happen all the time. This iron woman is turned into a cotton flower with music like a key to open a door.
Totally leaves you speechless. U2 have for decades delivered song after amazing song. Bono's vocals just get better with age, he sings from his heart with so much passion. How can you NOT be moved by this performance? I don't care how much spit you see flying, it's sheer beauty that shines through! We love you U2.
This is one of there most beautiful songs. Bono can write about pain, loss and love like no other. I feel like i have lived this song and that when Bono wrotes he is writing from my soul. The man, and the band are geniuses.
I gave up on U2 after No Line OnThe Horizon..only recently did I decide to give em another chance..and I found this.. THIS is why u2 are great. Bono is magical.
Because of u2 I will never loose the image of my father he’s as strong as the singers voice I love him so much and will forever remember him to this song. Thank you u2 Ti amo pappa 💙
I witnessed a ( Non U2 ) fan cry while watching this MTV performance as it was aired live.. Just a reminder of how great and powerful this band still is. "Great example of a fantastic live band"
Am I the only one who thinks this live performance version w/ the piano and small string ensemble should have been the ACTUAL CD version? It's much more powerful like this... I really don't understand why this version isn't on the CD. Anyone else thinking the same? I'd really like to know.
I actually prefer the studio version, don't get me wrong Bono's voice is amazing and giving him space with less production shines a light on his greatness. But that piano part is so damn repetitive, it aches me
been an U2 fan since the War came out. Two nights ago I went to U2 concert at Seoul. My second one since the unforgettable fire tour. Then I got introduced to this song because I haven't been listening to U2 lately. The song brought a lump to a hardend 60 year old guy. Thanks U2.
GREAT COMMENT!!! Like you, I became a fan when the WAR album came out in 1983. My first concert ever was The Unforgettable Fire Tour. I've been to 19 concerts since then! Best band ever!!! NOTE: I'm a 52 year old guy.
The problem with the official video is that it's interrupted by dialogue. I do like great music videos but I don't think it should distract too much from the music. I have this album on vinyl but I have found a lyric video whereby you can hear the studio version without the irritating music video. This song was the soundtrack of my life when this album came out. It's one of my favourite songs of theirs
Jesus,...what a fantastic song,,,,have been a quiet fan of u2 for years and years,...but my god that song brings me to tears....love it well done boys,....bravo!!!!!!
Bono has an incredible strength in his voice and his words reach down to your gut and pulls your heart out, absolutely nothing else matters after hearing this song ❣️✌️🤩🌊
This is one of their greatest live performances ever.
Oui ! Vraiment Magnifique 💖 ✨ 🗽
You are without a doubt right about this unbelievable performance!!!!!!!!!
Completely agree. In the interest of full disclosure, I have been very critical of his vocals ever since about 2010 2011. But my goodness he totally nailed this one. All of them. But his vocals on this for absolutely brilliant and gave me goosebumps. Vintage Bono.
I’ve seen perform 16 times in concert, and I have to wholeheartedly agree with you. One of the Best bands ever to take the stage !!!
Dojemne
My daughter died a month before this album came out and this song reminds me of her. Songs of Innocence helped me deal with her death. Thanks U2.
I4's interesting. My son is 19 and is a trainwreck. I fear he's going to be in jail by year's end. It pains me so much because he's either going to jail, or he's going to end up a drugee.

@@doslenguas Your name sounds so familiar, did you ever live in northern calfornia in the early 00's?
really don't understand how more people don't know this song exists.. the lyrics are beautiful but the vocal is absolutely insane.

Haven't seen those but I'll take your word for it. Miss Sarajevo as well from the Vertigo tour.
Thom Dorke Miss Sarajevo is one of his best performances ever, it still gets me. But you're right, I do not know what he's with his voice, but I am glad, it sounds amazing.
Same thought.
Really? Have you missed the Super Bowl performance, or how about Miss Sarajevo in Milan?
love them or hate them...that man can sing.
mad4tarmac Team love them!
How can you HATE U2? Might not be your cup of tea, but hate them??
@@horse5407 There's a lot of jealousy out there. U2 has so many great songs.

Yes live version is better, saw em in Amsterdam , goosebumps, never felt like this listening to disc version.
chan kityuen this is better than the video, more powerful
Yes.
This song is a good representation of bono's voice, but the original is better with all of the instrumental

God ! I love em !
I am still crying when i listen this song
*this is the diference between this new generation of "singers" who can't do shit without autotune and the real singers who sound even better live!*
Yes, I agree, great artists always sound better on live performances :D
My Friend Ricardo. Not for nothing that is the largest band on the planet.
You're so right , let me go out on a limb and say they are the greatest band of all time!
Ricardo Pina i f u guys love them..my question is ? hv u got the ticket for coming show ?
I'm not that lucky!
Damn. Bono hasn't thrown that many high notes in a single song like that since the 90s!
I go see every tour multiple times. He hits those notes nightly.
MrSamphillips24 - Nope.
Voice sounds like back in the day
yeah, he hit that high note in Sometimes ya can't make it on your own that's the closest

Are you serious?? OMG...his vocals are out of this world even at his age. Simply staggering!!
Age is a privilege. It usually means better as well
Dislikes are from people who wish they had Bono’s voice.
There are NO dislikes!

@@76steve76 Good call although I don't know much of their music. However I do feel that U2 are a very special band.
This is what happens when a great singer commits everything he’s got to a performance. Love you Bono.
well said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Bono’s sings it’s like an angel suddenly came on earth and give us love and kindness
In 2014 or 2015 they released their album free on Apple Music. If they haven't done that, I never would have found this amazing song and all the others on that album. I remember that being the only album on my phone, and listening to it over and over at the age of 15. Now years later, my husband sings it to me. Grateful.
I was always wondered why I had U2’s album in my music lol
He sings with his hole body and heart
Not sure about hole but yes to,whole 😀
Born to sing .... And be an entertainer
At 1:43 Bono is like "I'm damn good and I know it". And damn you are...
LOL Damn he is !
Goosebumps.. so many goosebumps.
marry me! ... lol!
Emma Sinnen chills
Emma Sinnen from boys now they are still on top of there game now they are men listen to rejoice
I sing this to my little girl at bedtime albeit no in the same stratosphere as Bono a beautiful song and this is an unforgettable version. Goosebumps every time I hear it.
An Amazing song
Genius. What a voice. What a band. Sent from God, quite simply Beautiful.
A beautiful gift God gave us ❤❤
Love this! His passion is infectious. Sorry, but there is no other singer songwriter like Bono. He is passion, humility, a very humble soul. You see his soul when he performs, especially this performance.
At 3:34 is just another reminder why Bono is a Rock Legend. U2 is still the biggest band in the world. U2 speaks to my soul as it does to many of you

Love this arrangement - really shows the power of Bono's voice
Was the best performance at MTV EMA's , a true lesson for the other '' singers '' .
Agree
This is what REAL music sounds like.
Your ability to throw a football pales in comparison to your ear for great music. I'm impressed that a 20 something listens to this.
@@robertthaxton820 I only know this because of the free U2 album Apple gave everyone in 2014.

best festival ever: U2 (red rocks)
best live aid performance ever: U2
best tour ever: U2 360
Agree
Some heavy hitting performances right there!
Only questionable 1 is live aid queen where otherworldly to be fair
best tour ever: ZooTV
Agree although Elevation Tour best of last 20 years and Zoo TV best tour ever!
Don't understand how this has dislikes..
You can't be great without the hate.
Balta Rodriguez Jealous or soulless...
Balta Rodriguez Came here to say so
I also asked myself how this could be possible-maybe Bono did not hit two notes really exactly, but nevertheless this Interpretation is fantastic!
Those are the people that hated them and Apple for putting the album on their devices for free.
Bono killed it. Had chills when I caught this performance on tv.
BONO!!!!... how am I a boomer and never knew how amazing????
U2. The last of the REAL rock stars....seen these guys so many times live since the 80's and they always deliver! I have always loved U2!
THIS BY FAR BETTER THAN THE AUDIO! U2, you got my respect!!
U2!
One of the most amazing voice on the rock history...

Yes it is....as they are live....amazing
+michelle kemp they're definitely at their best live
5 years ago I was obsessed with this song and so I am today.
Bono was the best singer of the 80s for sure. And still got it in 2021
1:01 what??? It's incredible! Great voice!!!
Totally beautiful
ops... 3:33
look at the power of Bono's voice (it's not just a question of voice, but of heart). Look at the poor 3:33 minute microphone as it trembles ...
I could watch this everyday
Michelle Motley my perfect woman so
Bono's voice is back. Song of Innocence is really the greatest album since the beginning of 2000
It is this moment in which we understand that despite being 60 years old, he has his great voice
Bono is a fantastic singer, since the 80’s he has a collection of great vocals
This was my first introduction to U2 i remember being so shocked of how fucking good this performance was I had to find them and I’m so glad I did
Totally leaves you speechless. U2 have for decades delivered song after amazing song. Bono's vocals just get better with age, he sings from his heart with so much passion. How can you NOT be moved by this performance?
I don't care how much spit you see flying, it's sheer beauty that shines through!
We love you U2.
One of the *GREATEST* live bands in history!!!
The best singer of my our generation....passion
My God! Twenty years and I'm still holding on to this band........and this is the explanation to it!
Matias Fuentes Just saw U2 LIVE and they delivered 100%...!...it was a Spiritual Experience...The BEST Music/Rock entity put together -- EVER...!
One of Bono's best Live performances. A real classic what an amazing voice.
These Lads Just get more Perfect and Powerful with Time...Damn! Bono Brought Down the House!
This is one of there most beautiful songs. Bono can write about pain, loss and love like no other. I feel like i have lived this song and that when Bono wrotes he is writing from my soul. The man, and the band are geniuses.
I’m gonna say U2 is the best band out there.Mark my words…❤
Sniff your turds
I'm probably right to imagine that you're not left alone with children,...as a hard and fast rule
this is absolutely stunning. i mean that.
1978... 2019😎☝️🎹🎧🎛️ all day awesome band
Brought me to tears. Bono is incredible! U2 is incredible!
We will Follow.
i love falling in love with Bono again considering he was my first "love" at age 17 . Hearing this makes me fall in love all over again
I gave up on U2 after No Line OnThe Horizon..only recently did I decide to give em another chance..and I found this.. THIS is why u2 are great. Bono is magical.

Bono, the Edge, Larry Mullen Jr and Adam Clayton FOREVER......
I've listened to umpteen live and studio recordings of this track and this is still the best version I can find. He REALLY goes for it here.
This is one of the greatest U2 performances ever, up there with Bad (Live Aid), Sunday Bloody Sunday (Rattle & Hum) and The Fly (live at Boston).
Also kite, live at slane castle.
@@kyliehughes9820 definately great, great tune. Also All I Want is You into Where the Streets have no name - same show👍
