Anyone alive or in attendance at this show and knew what they had at that very moment was one very lucky person. I think most of us never stopped to think that this era was all going to be gone in the blink of an eye. Our youth has waned, glowing aspirations have either been accomplished, gone or outgrown and the world is now more divided and different than ever. Watching "40" live after 36 years is hard to put into words. It was one of those songs I would always skip over back when I was a teenager, but now it hits home like never before. Watching Larry Mullen Jr. at the very end, just sitting behind his kit in silence and listening to the audiance makes me wonder if he knew what he was living at that moment. You just never know how good you had it until it's gone.
So damn true. Had the Joshua Tree album playing every morning on my way to high school in ‘87 and still have it on repeat in my car today. The messages of those days still hold true in these trying times.
Larry Mullen, Jr. always had his Bible backstage, at least the 2 times I was back there with them. And now “I” know why. He was nothing like the other guys. I never thought I would say this, but my views have altered 💯 % but sometimes you either accept the facts and truths given to you by the higher power or you stay in the muck of the deceivers. Your choice. Still loved them back then before I knew why Larry carried his Bible. Love to all.💞
I was there on the 19th, n turn for my brother's graduation. The scalpers took a bath on this. After the show I saw tons of unused tickets on the trash cans the scalpers couldn't sell.
look into old shows - live at Slane castle, live at Red Rocks (denver), You have a great Mom,. even when she tells you to help pay the billis! - OBTW - My favorite album will always be "Unforgettable Fire!"
Yeah! I still find he can sing his down side is that he doesn't respect the original way the song is sung. He does a lot of talk singing and his timing is always off, lately. Almost as if he just can't be assed, anymore.
Just out of curiosity, did you buy any souvenirs, tshirts or posters at that concert? If so, how much did you spend on them...ballpark...asking for a friend...I have a theory that ALL concerts should be super affordable so people can afford to see their favorite players AND come home with some great memories. 5 bucks is my FAVORITE Price for concerts....as long as the players get compensated through Merch sales, it will be an awesome Renaissance for music...past and present. Gimmee your thoughts if you will...would love to hear them.
@@porferiokabisig1322No the tickets were $5 but you had to buy for both days. The tickets were sold through KROQ. So many of us drove from L.A. to Tempe to be at this concert. It was cheap, but so important. It was everything.
I saw them on this tour. What seems like a lifetime ago. I have to put U2 neck in neck with Beatles. For those of us who are old enough to remember when the Joshua Tree was released and the impact that record had in pushing the band into a phenomenon, what a timeless masterpiece.
I will never forget the day when I heard the Joshua Tree in a record store. I was blown away and bought it instantly. Along with New Gold Dream the record I have listened to a million times - and still do at least once a week.
And that heart is in a man who avoids paying income tax whenever he can as he travels the world trying to get governments to give to his favourite charity. Money that comes from ordinary people paying their fair share of tax. Unlike Bono.
@@therepublicofcynica..yeah Ireland is full of begrudgers! If anything Society and the Inland Revenue owe Bono, not the other way around. Resentment and bitterness never gets us anywhere in life, you play the hand your dealt and judge not, it will only come back on you.
@@catherinecepuder3520 I didn't say anything negative about Ireland or the Irish so I wonder where the hell you get the impression that I did. And to say Ireland and the IR owe Bono is an absurd thing to say and makes no sense. I'm not resentful or bitter - I was simply making a point, and a valid one at that. Certainly a judgement but hey, live with it. As for your final comment I have nothing to say other than that you're wrong. Enjoy your day.
@therepublicofcynica I wasn't inferring that you, in particular, said anything negative about Ireland or the Irish, however in general if you come from Ireland as I do, then you will recognize that any critical comment about a public figure or celebrity does tend to come from a place of grudging negativity particularly if it relates to finances. Bono and U2 collectively have contributed significantly to Ireland's revenue , culturally, educationally, and from a philanthropic perspective, too. However, for tax reasons they have moved their holdings from Ireland to the Netherlands, but I would not fault them for that. If you care to, you could check out an overview by Emmett Murphy on U2's contributions to Ireland as it measures up over the past few decades.
@@catherinecepuder3520 Since your first response I’ve delved into the subject and read many articles from a variety of sources (which I’ve done before). Firstly Emmett Murphy just seems a to be a U2 mouthpiece to me and akin to propaganda. As soon as Ireland changed its tax system in 2006 U2 moved it’s tax and financial base to the Netherlands to avoid Irish tax. The day before! It may be they’ve contributed to charities in Ireland but the amounts are tiny compared to their, and Bono’s overall wealth and the tax they should pay. PR, again. You use the word ‘significantly in terms of U2’s contribution to Ireland but don’t qualify it. Any cultural contribution is subjective: Educationally? I don’t see that and don’t really know what it means. Philanthropically likewise. Here’s a section from Professor Sheila Killian from an article in the Irish Times: ‘Bono has wrapped himself for years in the Irish flag, literally and metaphorically. For Irish people, this no longer squares with his taking active steps to pay less tax here. He became a prophet without honour in his home country because he moved his profit from the country he calls home’. For me Bono is a fake. He wants my money for his pet projects but I pay all of my taxes, most of which was taken at source for decades. I had no choice, unlike him and his U2 gang. He says he pays a lot of tax but that’s a hollow thing to say because it belies proportionality and is, again, subjective. Everyone could say that. You mention ‘grudging negativity’ but, for me, it’s not that. I don’t care how much he earns, how much he’s worth or how many homes he has (five). What I care about is him spouting off and (always) being photographed with world leaders travelling the world in private jets as he piously asks for taxpayers money for his pet projects and causes. And then he was caught out in the Panama Papers scandal. Dear oh dear! If I see him sell one of his houses and take a normal plane then donate the revenue to charity, I might reconsider. But I doubt it. Thanks again.
I think 92/93 was their peak myself..the cumerbunds and cowboy hats period turned me off them around this time and Boner was at his most insufferable..

MY LETTER TO U2-1987 I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono! I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage! I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations. Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year! All the Best! Gary Lagstrom
Bono had the flu. I went to this show and it was in the local press that he was sick. The tickets were only $5 because they were filming for the Rattle and Hum movie. We had excellent seats.
It’s impossible to overstate how much U2 changed music for my generation. Listening to these songs gives me goosebumps, because they’re still as good as ever.
I drove to Houston in April 1987 for my first U2 concert. All of the concerts I have been to since then have been great, but this year, 1987 was truly special.o see
I was there in the nose bleed sections with my girlfriend. They charged only $5 so anyone could afford a ticket. I was a waiter paying my own way through college at ASU. Magical music during the magical time of youth. My, how 37 years flies by. ☀
I feel you brother! Me and my girlfriend somehow got front row out past Adam Clayton a little bit, but not far. We were at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan where they played football. We will never forget this ever. And it's almost 40 years. Incredible how great they sounded and the job they did with the video production and sound quality for this. I hope somebody brings this recording and lets me listen when I'm on my deathbed and ready for the shot to put me down hahaha😅
@@cortical1 very cool! Yeah that big Silverdome with the big canvas roof was filled over 60,000 for that U2 concert. And we were close enough of course being in the front that the echo didn't even affect us at all. It was epic
Well they're nearing the end of their careers. They have done so much and donated so much money and time and organizations around the world to help with disease and famine and unbelievable debt caused by huge World Banks. They deserve to fade out these last three or five years and set up their retirements and their families and grandkids and whatnot
@@iokin34 I suppose they didn't care for the angle or footage they first got, or maybe they weren't ready? So, they stopped the song, and redid the entrance again, and started WTSHNN
Me too .I just texted my son and told him the bigging gave me the goosies.I missed the show due to 3 under 5 and a premmie.But they got my attention.Joshu Tree was a big album for me and my sons, now in their late 30s and early 40s.Just amazing!
I was a student at Arizona State during this show. If I remember correctly tickets were $5. Basically a free show because of all the camera gear everywhere being used to film footage for Rattle & Hum. An absolutely brilliant band and their peak.
They were thirty bucks when I saw them in April of that. I can't remember what t-shirts were, but a woman I know remarked how expensive they were a few months after the show when I saw her in the hospital about six months later. I still have it.
When you don’t realize you’re in the moment until it’s a memory…The 80s and 90s were incredible so glad I was born in ‘68 and grew up with all this music… GenX forever
'61 here brother. I'll never forget somehow I got front row seats for this when I went down to the stadium when they announced this tour coming. The ticket woman had torn two front row seats off of a group of six or something because she said the person that was buying them didn't have enough money for all six. And she asked me if I wanted them still? I said are you fucking kidding me!? They were a bit to the side a little bit past Adam clayton, but it was like a life memory I'll never forget even when I'm 90 in my desk bed. I hope somebody brings this recording and puts it on some good speakers at the hospital or hospice, because I'll listen to the whole thing and then they can just inject me with the drugs to put me down😂😅😊
I was there...two carloads of friends made a road trip from San Diego. There were two concerts...this one on Saturday, and another on Sunday. When buying tickets, you had to buy tickets to both days. The tickets were really inexpensive. Like $10 a show. They were filming the concerts for Rattle and Hum, and wanted to make sure they sold out. We only went to the first night...but it was amazing.
Wow, Paramount must have all this amazing footage in their vaults with all the MTV assets as well. It’s a shame that they don’t finish this and re-release. Thanks for sharing this!
They should release rattle and hum the super deluxe boxsets with all the goodies fro meach main concert. Give us it all. 😝🤘🎵💯🎵🎵🎵🎵 this is U2 live in there prime. On top of the world just killing it.😁👊😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙☝️
I HAVE OVER 7 HOURS OF R&H OUTTAKES FOOTAGE, THE WHOLE VISIT TO THE CHURCH IN HARLEM IS GREAT TO SEE, ESPECIALLY THE FOOTAGE IN THE CAR ON THE WAY THERE IS REALLY FUNNY TOO.
@@JAMESJACKSON-s9p have you up loaded it to you tube? May i ask how you got it? I bet there must be some great pro shot concert film from Rattle and Hum. Some of there best live material imho
@@metalmadtomI know from seeing the movie & owning the DVD which bits made it in. How'd you get access to the other songs like '40'? Or is that a state secret?
Everything about U2 was revolutionary in 1987 Their look , their sound , this show all brand new and completely fresh They were The Rolling Stones of 1987 and took America by storm Played Murfreesboro Tennessee at Murphy Center It was quite the experience
Say what you want about U2 but there's no denying that prime U2 was a tour de force and created their own genre of rock music. My 1st musical love and 1st concert.

In April of 87, near Detroit Michigan at the Pontiac Silverdome football stadium, they had a totally different playlist than this. In fact when they came out on stage for the opener, they played the first three songs on Joshua Tree all in a row. Streets have no name still haven't found, and wither without you. I guess they decided to drop with or without you for this show? That was one of the biggest single hits of the entire last 6 months. That's kind of odd. But I did love the fact that they included One Tree Hill in Arizona. They didn't play that one in Detroit. We had front-row tickets down towards the area right in front of Adam Clayton. It was an amazing Unforgettable I'll never forget about what happened and all of the events for as long as I live. Man I hope they come back one last time and do an indoor arena tour. But we all know that's not going to happen too much money to be made with 60,000 people like a Taylor Swift show. 😊That's what sucks. This band should be seen indoors with about 22,000 capacity
I saw this tour in fall of 1987. Little Steven (Steven van Zandt of the E-Street Band) was the opening act. It was at the old CNE stadium in Toronto and was very cold. We were wearing winter coats. But U2 put on a great show. It was my third time seeing them live. I saw them in Toronto at Massey Hall in 1984 and Maple Leaf Gardens in 1985.
Back when concert tickets were affordable. I saw Rattle and Hum in the theater and when the movie went from black and white to color, this was the opening scene. If you think it looks impressive on a computer, this is something that should be shown in IMAX. It still gives me chills when they hit that 16th note and the lights come on with the helicopter filming above down to the crowd. I have been to concerts this big, but sometimes when you are in the moment you don't realize how big of an event it is.
There Is nothing better in the whole planet than U2.They just make me feel a 21yr old, tò dream, tò inspire, Wow,how many memories with their songs and music❤❤❤
Truly one of Rock's greatest concerts. Is there a more intense and captivating frontman than Bono? If so...there aren't many others. The way the song "Bad" builds up gradually with intensity is spectacular...thanks especially to Larry Mullings UNDERRATED drummmmmmmming!!! Larry's a f***ing BEAST!!!
People who like U2 never get fed up with them, they are fantastic right from the start till right now I 2024for get the world 🌎 & listen to U2 ❤❤❤❤ XXXX x
I’ve been listening to U2 since they started a friend of mine who was Irish was following them before they were even known via black market old 8 tracks and etc early 70 s. And I was hooked and never looked back because there’s no other band who can beat them and I still can’t stop listening and watching them and still and always in amazement like my first time listening. Rock forever Guys we know you will. God bless U2.

This concert made me give up drugs and get out of depression of been bullied at school
Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, and Rattle and Hum was the best time in the U2 era.
Joshua Tree - Achtung baby
Acthung baby was their OPUS
yep
Rattle and Hum was a bit of a low point lol
And War.
Anyone alive or in attendance at this show and knew what they had at that very moment was one very lucky person. I think most of us never stopped to think that this era was all going to be gone in the blink of an eye. Our youth has waned, glowing aspirations have either been accomplished, gone or outgrown and the world is now more divided and different than ever. Watching "40" live after 36 years is hard to put into words. It was one of those songs I would always skip over back when I was a teenager, but now it hits home like never before. Watching Larry Mullen Jr. at the very end, just sitting behind his kit in silence and listening to the audiance makes me wonder if he knew what he was living at that moment. You just never know how good you had it until it's gone.
So true each and every word! And I was there too! Eighteen, young and full of dreams!
So damn true. Had the Joshua Tree album playing every morning on my way to high school in ‘87 and still have it on repeat in my car today. The messages of those days still hold true in these trying times.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was lucky enough to be there for both nights. Amazing experience
Larry Mullen, Jr. always had his Bible backstage, at least the 2 times I was back there with them. And now “I” know why. He was nothing like the other guys. I never thought I would say this, but my views have altered 💯 % but sometimes you either accept the facts and truths given to you by the higher power or you stay in the muck of the deceivers. Your choice. Still loved them back then before I knew why Larry carried his Bible. Love to all.💞
I was a freshman in high school. U2 changed my life! Still addicted at 50!!
Just a few years behind you … what an iconic and uplifting band they are for sure #U2family
Just turned 50 changed my in 87 thank you bono,Larry, Adam edge you changed my life x
Haha, I was a sophomore. Same for me!
I was a high school sophomore in December 1987 when this show was done. Still obsessed at 51! 😊
I was there on the 19th, n turn for my brother's graduation. The scalpers took a bath on this. After the show I saw tons of unused tickets on the trash cans the scalpers couldn't sell.
U2 were absolute perfection between '87-93
I'd ad Unforgettable Fire to the timeline! 1985?
All straight downhill from there
For sure, these were their halcyon years.
@@btkjay9749 What do you mean, "Their halcyon years"?
U2 is STILL PERFECT❤ They have been the soundtrack to our lives.
“Bad” is the best U2 song…
Und Achtung baby
I'm 37. been listening since 38 years. Mum used to out headphones on her stomach while pregnant to make me listen to U2. The soundtrack of my life ❤
Kudos to your lovely Mum!!!!!
That's a good mama!! ❤
I went to the Actung Baby Zoo TV Tour in Tempe, AZ in Apr '92 while 7mos pregnant! Happy to say my now 32yr old daughter loves U2!❤
Ta maman est une grande dame 🙂
look into old shows - live at Slane castle, live at Red Rocks (denver), You have a great Mom,. even when she tells you to help pay the billis! - OBTW - My favorite album will always be "Unforgettable Fire!"
Bono's voice at its peak
Yeah! I still find he can sing his down side is that he doesn't respect the original way the song is sung. He does a lot of talk singing and his timing is always off, lately. Almost as if he just can't be assed, anymore.
@@Finnbarrshe thinks he’s too cool to worry about it
It's not laziness. We all age. He sort of joked about it on the Zoo ropa tour. It's really noticeable thirty plus years later.
Yes and zootv after thayit went to shit
His voice was amazing during the Zoo TV Tour. He reached some crazy high notes during Mysterious Ways. I saw it live, it was incredible ! :)
Bono’s voice is on a whole different level here
One Tree Hill, is a minimal masterpiece and a masterpiece of minimalism.
The greatest opening of a concert ever.
I was at this concert. My gosh, seems like yesterday. UA-cam is a miracle.
Certainly the best band that came out of the 80's....by far!!
Boys in their prime… nothing better☘️❤️☘️
I was at this concert, paid $5.00 to get awesome show, one of the best I ever been to.
Was that a lot of money back then?

i believe that this period was U2 at their absolute prime..... its evident that they are still hungry and it shows in their performance
I think 92/93 was their peak myself..the cumerbunds and cowboy hats period turned me off them around this time and Boner was at his most insufferable..
Mate my children grew up listening to U2 all the time.when they were growing up. Now they still listening.😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
How good would it be to have Bonos voice during this period….never heard anyone better
Never heard anyone better... lol. Okay then...
This is U2 what I like good times
Watching this in 2024 and realizing its recorded in '87 reminds me that U2 is timeless!
Awesome concert. Still one of the best bands in the world.
One of the great groups in the best musical period of all time. Let's hope that another global musical explosion will soon return, like in the 80s
There's never been a song that gives me goosebumps like 'Where the Streets Have No Name' does. Especially this version!
Same. Saw them in Seattle and weeped the entire song. Might sound dramatic but it was one of the most special moments of my life.
Sim, é uma música que atinge um lugar dentro de nós, não sei, parece ser uma música mágica. Arrepios que só ela consegue.
Bono says whenever they play this song "God walks into the room".❤

The most beautifully shot live music production by a mile.
This was filmed for their movie Rattle & Hum which is why the quality is so good.
Muse live in Rome is pretty good too.
finally the algorithm did something good for me 😅 amazing concert give me chills
Bonos voice once warmed up in this show is perfect. I love LOVE this.

I was there in the nose bleed sections with my girlfriend. They charged only $5 so anyone could afford a ticket. I was a waiter paying my own way through college at ASU. Magical music during the magical time of youth. My, how 37 years flies by. ☀
I feel you brother! Me and my girlfriend somehow got front row out past Adam Clayton a little bit, but not far. We were at the Pontiac Silverdome in Michigan where they played football. We will never forget this ever. And it's almost 40 years. Incredible how great they sounded and the job they did with the video production and sound quality for this. I hope somebody brings this recording and lets me listen when I'm on my deathbed and ready for the shot to put me down hahaha😅
@@billyidol2115 I was actually born at Pontiac General! Small world.🤣👍🏻
@@cortical1 very cool! Yeah that big Silverdome with the big canvas roof was filled over 60,000 for that U2 concert. And we were close enough of course being in the front that the echo didn't even affect us at all. It was epic
Now they only care about big time money. 😢
Well they're nearing the end of their careers. They have done so much and donated so much money and time and organizations around the world to help with disease and famine and unbelievable debt caused by huge World Banks. They deserve to fade out these last three or five years and set up their retirements and their families and grandkids and whatnot
I'm crying with emotion
The purity of the band at their maximum expression, a diamond 💎 already shining but their best still to come with Achtung Baby✍🏽🙌🏽 U2 for life ❤
Minneapolis loves U2❤❤🎉😊!
Best Performance of "Streets" ever !!! love it 😍😍😍
I first seen U2 live in Auckland New Zealand
1986 fucking amazing experience
My favorite band in the world 🌍
Amen 🙏
I was there, we were told beforehand they'd be recording for a movie. They did this entrance twice...amazing as always!
Explain this Please...
@@iokin34This was filmed and used in Rattle and Hum.
@@iokin34 I suppose they didn't care for the angle or footage they first got, or maybe they weren't ready? So, they stopped the song, and redid the entrance again, and started WTSHNN
The bit in the movie when it jumped to the helicopter.
@@StratsRUsI wish they would remove that. Doesn’t fit at that point
Thanks,I was at this concert in the 8th row for $5 dollars. Tears are running down my cheeks watching this.
5 dollars? 😮
The opening of this song still gives me goosebumps 40 years later
Me too .I just texted my son and told him the bigging gave me the goosies.I missed the show due to 3 under 5 and a premmie.But they got my attention.Joshu Tree was a big album for me and my sons, now in their late 30s and early 40s.Just amazing!
rip off from Alan Parsons
When there was real music!! Been living on this music for 40+ years.
I saw them in Rotterdam, it was amazing.
I'm 62 years , but it sounds like yesterday.
❤❤❤❤. Thx for uploading.
HEAVEN IS WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME! COME LORD JESUS CHRIST TO TAKE US HOME! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😇😇😇🎚🎚🎚
I was a student at Arizona State during this show. If I remember correctly tickets were $5. Basically a free show because of all the camera gear everywhere being used to film footage for Rattle & Hum. An absolutely brilliant band and their peak.
Yes. The tickets were $5 mainly to guarantee both shows would be sold out so it would look good on film
Same here I was an art student fall 1987 freshman. I parked near the stadium and could hear them rehearsing before the show.
True. I was there. Graduated in 87. From Yuma, Az. Commissioned a Marine in Dec 1987.
Peak was yet to come . Love this band
They were thirty bucks when I saw them in April of that. I can't remember what t-shirts were, but a woman I know remarked how expensive they were a few months after the show when I saw her in the hospital about six months later. I still have it.
Love how Edge and Adam always swap instruments on "40". 😊
U2 during this era, just leaves me speechless!
Want this played at my funeral as well as where the streets have no name,then I'll go and meet my maker quite peacefully
I ACTUALLY THINK U2 ARE AS RELEVANT TODAY AS THEY WERE WHEN THEY STARTED. NO ONE WILL EVER BEAT THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS AGAIN IMO.
Nope. They’ve been straight crap for 20 years
@@hosoiarchives4858 I CAN RESPECT YOUR OPINION, BUT YOU ARE WRONG BOY.
@@hosoiarchives4858wrong. 30 years!
WoW, Beautiful, Nice 👍🏿 😎🎧🎧🎧🎧🎧🎶
I've seen this song performed 10 times live. Exhilarating every single time. These Irish Boys Rock.
I am so lucky being born 1966 growing up with all that beautyful-inspiring and diverse music of the 80s era… ♥️
I was there as well...my ASU years...great venue, great times, great concert..
the best version of With or Without You ever recorded
I still believe live at Tempe has the best live version of with or with out you. Plus heaps of classics
Sure
@@hgvf9927 for me it's Slane Castle's
Definately. With that extra verse
When you don’t realize you’re in the moment until it’s a memory…The 80s and 90s were incredible so glad I was born in ‘68 and grew up with all this music… GenX forever
'61 here brother. I'll never forget somehow I got front row seats for this when I went down to the stadium when they announced this tour coming. The ticket woman had torn two front row seats off of a group of six or something because she said the person that was buying them didn't have enough money for all six. And she asked me if I wanted them still? I said are you fucking kidding me!? They were a bit to the side a little bit past Adam clayton, but it was like a life memory I'll never forget even when I'm 90 in my desk bed. I hope somebody brings this recording and puts it on some good speakers at the hospital or hospice, because I'll listen to the whole thing and then they can just inject me with the drugs to put me down😂😅😊
I was there...two carloads of friends made a road trip from San Diego. There were two concerts...this one on Saturday, and another on Sunday. When buying tickets, you had to buy tickets to both days. The tickets were really inexpensive. Like $10 a show. They were filming the concerts for Rattle and Hum, and wanted to make sure they sold out. We only went to the first night...but it was amazing.
Yup. Tickets were 5 bucks. And they said film waiver in them. No clue it was for rattle and hum. I went on 12-19-87 show. It was amazing
U2 ❤beautiful music
Wow, Paramount must have all this amazing footage in their vaults with all the MTV assets as well. It’s a shame that they don’t finish this and re-release. Thanks for sharing this!
They should release rattle and hum the super deluxe boxsets with all the goodies fro meach main concert. Give us it all. 😝🤘🎵💯🎵🎵🎵🎵 this is U2 live in there prime. On top of the world just killing it.😁👊😊👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙☝️
I HAVE OVER 7 HOURS OF R&H OUTTAKES FOOTAGE, THE WHOLE VISIT TO THE CHURCH IN HARLEM IS GREAT TO SEE, ESPECIALLY THE FOOTAGE IN THE CAR ON THE WAY THERE IS REALLY FUNNY TOO.
@@JAMESJACKSON-s9p Wow! I love rattle and Hum. I wish there was a boxset. Super, super deluxe edition.
@@JAMESJACKSON-s9p have you up loaded it to you tube? May i ask how you got it? I bet there must be some great pro shot concert film from Rattle and Hum. Some of there best live material imho
The director said he is in process of doing a 4K restoration, so expect something very soon!
Wow... people who watched this live in 1987 were blessed . . .

U2, the soundtrack to my entire life from age about 11, til now. I’m 52.
Thank you to whoever uploaded this concert!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The soundtrack to my youth
I uploaded it 🤙 Your welcome 🙌
Um herói. Parabéns.
@@metalmadtomI know from seeing the movie & owning the DVD which bits made it in. How'd you get access to the other songs like '40'? Or is that a state secret?
😢😢😢 I truly miss that time in my life.
1987! What a great year it was for U2! Now we are all getting older
🎉🎉🎉😂
@@carlamatatall102 ME2😋
Everything about U2 was revolutionary in 1987
Their look , their sound , this show all brand new and completely fresh
They were The Rolling Stones of 1987 and took America by storm
Played Murfreesboro Tennessee at Murphy Center
It was quite the experience
Say what you want about U2 but there's no denying that prime U2 was a tour de force and created their own genre of rock music. My 1st musical love and 1st concert.
Fucking brilliant! And from a fellow metalhead! Thanks Tom!
U2's GOLD ✨
We need a special edition of rattle and hum ! ❤
Sure!been waiting for it for 35 years too...

Where can I see that complete version of the concert?... I love u2. It is one of his unforgettable concerts.
In April of 87, near Detroit Michigan at the Pontiac Silverdome football stadium, they had a totally different playlist than this. In fact when they came out on stage for the opener, they played the first three songs on Joshua Tree all in a row. Streets have no name still haven't found, and wither without you. I guess they decided to drop with or without you for this show? That was one of the biggest single hits of the entire last 6 months. That's kind of odd. But I did love the fact that they included One Tree Hill in Arizona. They didn't play that one in Detroit.
We had front-row tickets down towards the area right in front of Adam Clayton. It was an amazing Unforgettable I'll never forget about what happened and all of the events for as long as I live. Man I hope they come back one last time and do an indoor arena tour. But we all know that's not going to happen too much money to be made with 60,000 people like a Taylor Swift show. 😊That's what sucks. This band should be seen indoors with about 22,000 capacity
@@billyidol2115go to the Sphere shows coming up in Vegas. All indoors and smaller…the technology in that “arena” will make it something to behold.
Sleep well we love you U2!
Prime U2....thanks for the upload.....this is amazing!
I think their prime was ZooTV tour from an engineering and sound standpoint. Achtung Baby is their only perfect album. Not one filler song
Drove from Flagstaff to see this. Great live band…
Oh my god I was there....
I was there! I lived near the stadium and walked to the concert. It was $5 a ticket.
IL mondo ha 4523 milioni di anni, noi siamo cresciuti con gli U2. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I saw this tour in fall of 1987. Little Steven (Steven van Zandt of the E-Street Band) was the opening act. It was at the old CNE stadium in Toronto and was very cold. We were wearing winter coats. But U2 put on a great show. It was my third time seeing them live. I saw them in Toronto at Massey Hall in 1984 and Maple Leaf Gardens in 1985.
i know and understand the criticism aimed at u2 especially bono but this footage proves they are legends of music
One of their Top 3 performances of all time. And all in the 80s. Red Rocks in 83, Live Aid in 85, & Tempe in 87.
DUBLIN 2017🙏
Thank you U2 for producing music that feeds my soul
Back when concert tickets were affordable.
I saw Rattle and Hum in the theater and when the movie went from black and white to color, this was the opening scene. If you think it looks impressive on a computer, this is something that should be shown in IMAX. It still gives me chills when they hit that 16th note and the lights come on with the helicopter filming above down to the crowd. I have been to concerts this big, but sometimes when you are in the moment you don't realize how big of an event it is.
I WAS THERE!! Epic concert for sure
Cool. I am sure it was astounding.
At 37 years, this remains a perfect concert of timeless and beautiful songs.
100%
There Is nothing better in the whole planet than U2.They just make me feel a 21yr old, tò dream, tò inspire, Wow,how many memories with their songs and music❤❤❤
This song is so underrated
There are just a handful of their songs that I don't care for.
Truly one of Rock's greatest concerts. Is there a more intense and captivating frontman than Bono? If so...there aren't many others. The way the song "Bad" builds up gradually with intensity is spectacular...thanks especially to Larry Mullings UNDERRATED drummmmmmmming!!!
Larry's a f***ing BEAST!!!
People who like U2 never get fed up with them, they are fantastic right from the start till right now I 2024for get the world 🌎 & listen to U2 ❤❤❤❤ XXXX x
I’ve been listening to U2 since they started a friend of mine who was Irish was following them before they were even known via black market old 8 tracks and etc early 70 s. And I was hooked and never looked back because there’s no other band who can beat them and I still can’t stop listening and watching them and still and always in amazement like my first time listening. Rock forever Guys we know you will.
God bless U2.
I was there!
It is simply the best band in the history of music, there is nothing that can compare, everything else is nonsense.
So true
The top years of u2 , thank you for posting
The Sphere sent me here... I sometimes forget how fantastic they were. So much with so little. Thank you for that The Sphere. 🙂
Same here! I am rediscovering U2's greatness after seeing them at the sphere.
This concert wrapped an amazing several years for Sun Devil Stadium. The Rolling Stones, The Who, Paul McCartney and then U2.
Their concert openings always were divine. Amongst the greatest bands to ever do it.
