@@Zontar82 agree, no new ideas after this. some other great songs but no big albums and innovation...but story of u2 made them great anyway. a page of music history.
I always remember as a young fella stumping up the $120 to see this concert in Sydney Australia back in the day. I basically couldn't afford it but i knew it was something i may never see again in my lifetime. I left the stadium that night, with no voice left, having sung every single word of every single song! Best 120 bucks i have ever spent in my life. What a band, what a perfromance, what a night! Love you U2...
More than solid. Had they released Last Night On Earth as the first single and NOT Discotheque with it's stupid video, I think that the entire reception of this album would have been different. They then recreated the exact same mistake for No Line On the Horizon. Another great album with a bad song for the first single that sounds nothing like the rest of the album, They can make stupid choices sometimes.
So true. It's greatness was overlooked because of U2's stupid decision to release Discotheque as the first single along with a bad video (these were the days that first singles and videos meant something) Truly everything on POP fits perfectly. And closing out with Wake Up Dead Man. Underrated does not even come close to describing how criminally ignored and berated this album was/is.
It's 750 square meters large. The biggest led screen used in a music show at that time. I guess it was displayed in a museum in New York for many years.
Yes, and they further innovated the LED in Vertigo and 360 tours. U2 are the undisputed kings of the live show! Nobody has it ever will equal them much less emulate them!
@@gerbear5346 The 360 tour is still the second best selling tour of all time. Ed Sheeran barely beat them in 2019, but only because he put on 2.5x as many shows.
I’d pay money to see them play the enter Pop album live. It’s one of those buried masterpieces that crops up in some artists catalogues. Not the first album that comes up among casual fans, but it hits harder than you first expect.
Yes!!! I have heard the band say that they were on a tight deadline to release the album and always felt like it was a bit unfinished, and I agree. By the time they were playing the album on tour they were able to refine the songs and live versions of all of them are STELLAR. I think casual fans who discover this album will end up with a ton of respect for U2 for doing something so different and risky. But yeah, I would LOVE to see them play the album live!!
Funny how you seem to be annoyed about people dismissing Pop when it came out and yet you're doing the same thing with their recent albums ;-) I became a fan of this band during the Songs of Innocence + Experience era, those songs are dear to me, and they are in my opinion some of their best ones.
Not sure about masterpieces but way underrated. This song, Gone, Please, If God Will Send His Angels and, and Last Night on Earth are awesome songs. Some of the tracks on Pop fall flat like Miam, The Playboy Mansion, and If You Wear that Velvet Dress.
@@113musikpolizei6 and that's the issue you became a fan of them from their recent releases. If you like those then good but they are fsr from their heydays and this Is universally accepted
Yo estuve en este concierto con mi Tío Carlos. Estaba en el bachillerato y me gane los boletos en WFM jajaj. Descansa en paz Tío Carlos que bueno que grabaron este concierto :)
POP was one of the greatest shows ever! It's sad how the band treats this period as if it didn't exist. U2 in the 90's were creative and experimental. That's why I love that period. I attended to the show in Lisbon (11/09) and it f**kin' blew my mind away.
Agreed!! I'm an older millennial and the U2 fans I know who are my age and under really appreciate 90's U2. Zooropa is a fave of mine and I discovered a whole group of younger fans who also think that album is one of their best and ahead of its time. I'm so jealous you got to see PopMart though, what an amazing experience that must have been!!! I wish they would play more of the songs from Pop live!
@@alexkasper5029 it was a truly amazing experience. My first time seeing U2 live at POPMART introduced me to a totally new concept of live music. Good to hear you like Zooropa. That album was way ahead of that time. Produced by The Edge in record time, it still sends shivers down my spine today. Mind-blowing times with truly bold experiments. I miss "that U2" for another album...
@@mafcarvalho Ahh that is so cool, what an amazing memory that must be! Yes, Zooropa sends shivers down my spine too! When I found out that The Edge was kind of the driving force behind that album it made sense as to why it felt so unique in their catalogue. Definitely an outlet for him to distract from being back in Dublin without a home to go back to. To me it has this dark beauty just below the surface of experimentation. I will never forget listening to it in the car one day and being moved to tears by "Lemon" of all songs. That beautiful piano bit that takes the song to a whole other place, the lyrics have a tragic longing. "The Wanderer" also. The song "Zooropa" was the song I needed most for a certain part in my life. "Numb" and "Stay" are two of the greats in my opinion. Just such a special album. I miss "that U2" as well. I just finished reading the chapter in Bono's book about Pop and it kinda made me sad that they see that period as more of a departure from who they really are, bc to me it represents the their daring to try to find new sounds and push who they are as artists. I find their music from that period so inspiring. But regardless I will always love them, they are such a special band and their live concerts are just on another level.
🎸 The entire POP concept was one of the most brilliant and foretelling commentaries on the shape of things to come musically and culturally. Some pretty amazing and completely unique songs, even for them. ⚡
Pop Mart Wembley Stadium was my first U2 live show. I was hooked after that. Still to this day, and after seeing many other live shows, from U2 as well, it was probably the best show I've ever seen. This era was U2 at their finest!!
No hay , Ni habrá un grupo de Rock más GRANDE como lo es U2 ... En hora buena por existir y dar los mejores conciertos en el mundo y por la excelente música que tocan !!!! Excelente el concierto del POP MART TOUR en la ciudad de México en 1997.🇲🇽👍🇨🇮
Popmart . la gira que se adelantó 30 años en el futuro. Una verdadera joya , en infraestructura, en inovación. La gira pudiera encajar perfectamente en estos años he incluso en estos tiempos se ve adelantada a su época.
great very innovative concert in Mexico City the lights the sound the mega screen to be 1997 very advanced, this concert came out in VHS and DVD format, the best U2 band
the entire band was incredible in that period. for how much maligned the entire pop album have been, for me and many other it was their latest GREAT, good album
The bass on this song is boring, most of the bass is back track, you can see when the camera focus on him that his fingers almost don’t move... Adam is the weak part of U2, but works..
I saw 3 POP shows within a week at the New Jersey Meadowlands!! Awesome. Love the live versions of “Gone”, “Please” , and “If You wear That velvet Dress”. The latter one has amazing imagery and mystique!
U2 tiene que volver con los temas de POP .Mofo ,Last night on earth,dou you feel loved ,Please, staring on the sun ,Gone ,son temazos !!!u2 despierta de una vez !!!!
The Latin American shows of the PopMart Tour: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile have the best shows because the audience was very energetic and participating at that time.
It was their first visit in Brazil, I can’t never forget the experience! It was also due to them getting their act together to fix the so many problems that happened in the North American and european legs of the tour.
definitely, they stopped being innovative and daring after that. for me it's their latest, great album, all that you can't leave behind was a very vapid album and since then just the abyss. for me i pretend that this is their latest album ever and that was it
This concert was magnificent, I was a boy when I watched this concert on tv and I was impressed for that scenario, screen and technology, pop mart tour was the first time I listened U2 and I liked it. Pop is my favourite disc of U2. please make Blue Ray Pop Mart.
Mofo is indeed a cool song. And the Popmart stage looks incredible even today. Must have been a truly great experience to attend one of those shows. Too bad I was way too young to have that opportunity back then!
Remember been living in Mexico at this time: being a teenager trying to learn english...for some reason this concert was so big that was on the news and was aired on public tv months later, didn't understand much of what Bono was singing, but what an amazing show!!
Witnessing this live, one day after my 16th birthday, at Roundhay Park Leeds, will probably remain one of the most overwhelming experiences of my entire life... It was all downhill from there!
A Zoo TV le respalda el discazo Achtung Baby y el excelente momento de forma de U2; mientras que a la gira 360 le respalda el récord de de ventas de entradas como la más exitosa comercialmente hablando. Pero PopMart marcó un antes y un después, con esa pantalla LED que para 1997 era la más grande del mundo en su tipo. Obviamente no tenía el 4K de la pantalla de las giras The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 y 2019, ni la claridad transparente de las Innocence+experience y experience+Innocence, pero ya estas no tenían nada de novedoso en comparación con PopMart. El disco POP no es el preferido de gran parte de los fans de U2, pero su gira promocional dejó una huella imborrable y eso no se puede eludir.
@@mrvn061 Es por eso que POP es mi disco favorito. POP no está hecho para todos. Cuando tuve el CD como nuevo trabajo de U2 lo compre con mis propinas porque estaba en el colegio aún crío, venía de ZooTv, a primera escucha quedé desconcertado quise tirar POP a la basura pero poco a poco fui entendiendo la música dentro del disco y luego me gustó mucho más cuando salieron el ATYCLB el HTDAAB y el NLOTH. Amo POP y Popmart
@@enriquemendoza11278 POP se parece a esas películas que en su momento no tuvieron el favor del público o crítica, pero que con el pasar de los años se fueron convirtiendo en una obra de culto. El problema con POP radica en que la banda lo tuvo que hacer bajo presión, pues la gira PopMart ya estaba contratada por McGuiness antes de terminar el disco, lo cual hizo que no tuvieran concordancia estética o temática algunas canciones. Si los extraes te das cuenta que pudieron estar perfectamente en otros discos. Por ejemplo, "War," "The unforgettable Fire" y "The Joshua Tree" tienen un estilo propio y definido, igual "Achtung Baby," e inclusive "Zooropa," que es una extensión del anterior. POP en cambio da la sensación de haber quedado un poco crudo, a medio terminar; pero justificando el problema de tener que terminarlo antes de la gira. "If God Will Send its Angels," "Gone," "Staring at The Sun" y "Mofo" son los temas sobresalientes de un muy buen disco que pudo ser mejor, pero, dadas las circunstancias tiene su mérito el sacar valientemente la tarea. Fue malcomprendido en su momento, pero en calidad no tiene nada que envidiarle ni a AB ni a Zooropa en la década del 90. Lo único negativo a mi parecer fue la distribución de los temas. Yo los hubiese acomodado en distinto orden; pero bueno, es cuestión de gustos.
@@mrvn061 Ya lo dijo Edge en Sirius POP envejece muy bien y la gira POPMART está en su Top de conciertos favoritos. El orden de las canciones seguramente la planteó Bono para mí está perfecto el orden track por track en POP pasar de Mofo a IFGWSHA es contradictorio, dos polos opuestos, el infierno y el cielo... canción típica de U2 con el riff reconocible y único de Edge. Siento que en POP están los sonidos de todos los discos de U2. Es un millonario vestido de pobre. No es para todos lo repito y espero que siga así
@@enriquemendoza11278 Precisamente por eso escribí que lo del orden de las canciones del disco era cuestión de gustos. A muchos, como en tu caso les parece perfecto; mientas a otros nos hubiera gustado otro orden. No pasa nada. Lo cierto del caso es que la gira PopMart es top 3 de las mejores giras de U2, definitivamente.
I was 2 Years old when POP goes Live... later I was on the Vertigo Tour in 05, and after goes to 360 in 11’ unfortunately can’t’ go to Joshua. Any way U2 Change my whole life’s Forever... Thanks Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam ! For real ! Thank you so so so much !!!!
Once again, U2 shows their unique capacity on taking innovation, huge spectacle, visuals and technological advances and converge it all with soulfull, meaning and emotionally strong performances in a rock and roll show. Far from being just a flashy meaningless monstrous machine, PopMart was so much more than that, it had a primary message or theme, which was overcompsumption, I think... maybe I misunderstood the message🤔, but there's clearly a message behind the biggest hd screen ever used on a concert, that cowboy hat, the whole boxieman entrance, the toxicity awared bass player and that giant-discoball-vehicle-lemon. The last time a band has ever shown this creativity it was this same band, with the fenomenal and never seen before concert, ZooTv. I guess the ideas behind that tour were tele comunication, media oversaturation, misinformation, celebrity, the narcissistic excessive "popstar" lifestyle and TV as a the ultimate Influence. Again, maybe I'm totally wrong, maybe the meaning of it all it's open to interpretation and to each it's own. The same thinking of free interpretation can be applied to PopMart this time around. For me, I think PopMart was a look, not a critic to society, just a look on parallelism. How, in our world, we just live to consume and go buy our groceries everyday and get into fist fights for the last 15% discount iPhone on Black Fridays while, in a parallel world children have to run from home to school, dodging missiles everyday and have little to no chance of consuming...food and water. Not our fault thou, the world is unfair, we're all just living in it, I'm not to blame for some war going on in Beirut but from my world, I can look and I can see I can even help, even in the smallest way. so PopMart it's not meant to make us feel uncomfortable or guilty for how the other half live, it's just a look on that other half existence, that parallel world we just ignore and live carefree about...it's about concience. This concept, right or wrong, is what PopMart left me with, after my mind was blown up by the visuals and my heart was blown up by the music in that stadium in 1997.

POP is a masterpiece. The perfect culmination of the triumphant 90’s trilogy.
"90's trilogy" - I would never have thought of it this way, but it's a totally accurate summation of that era. You're exactly right.
100% agree, they were so far ahead with a lot of things in that era, specially the live shows they did
All hail the criminally underrated POPMART!
The best, greatest latest album they ever made, no one will change my mind
@@Zontar82 You are speaking THE TRUTH, sir!!!
Like docking in a space station

Another great album with a bad song for the first single that sounds nothing like the rest of the album, They can make stupid choices sometimes.
It’s the title. The biggest rock band it the world calls their new album “pop”. What did they think would happen?
ist's very good
Rushed
..
But savage good songs
..Please live is as good as it gets
90s U2 is my favorite U2
This should have been the first single. One of their most amazing songs ever.
Agree!!

The wall of sound that hits after Bono yells “no, no” is pure eargasm stuff.

Current mortals are limited, but future mortals will realise Pop's merit.
Pop is one their most wonderful albums ... totally underrated
Pop, the most underrated U2's album.
I love Pop album since came out...
Indeed.
Larry is a machine...!!!!
Never misses a beat...!!!
And that's the greatest entry and opening of any concert in the history of concert .... Wow !! Just Wow !!
Maybe it's time for U2 to reevaluate Pop, a true masterpiece
No they should leave it as it is it’s a very underrated album
@@mysticedge4 I think he's saying revisit that period as their creative process or direction.
Time for a POP SUPER DELUXE Box set!!!!

This tour was revolutionary ..the first L.E.D. screen ever made for a concert tour
It's 750 square meters large. The biggest led screen used in a music show at that time. I guess it was displayed in a museum in New York for many years.
Yep, and the current technology in professional led illumination systems for musical events comes from that screen.
Yes, and they further innovated the LED in Vertigo and 360 tours. U2 are the undisputed kings of the live show! Nobody has it ever will equal them much less emulate them!

Their sickest performance. They absolutely murdered this track. Their art and theater really moved me. Bravo for this spectacular era. ZooTV 🍋 PopMart
the best definitely, when they could still dare
This is one of their tracks where studio version exceeds the live version i think...a rare u2 occurence..

The GREATEST band ever. Making great music for over 4 decades #1

great very innovative concert in Mexico City the lights the sound the mega screen to be 1997 very advanced, this concert came out in VHS and DVD format, the best U2 band
what a freaking weird period for them. I love it
More people need to talk about Adam Clayton's bass playing in this period. It is incredible.
the entire band was incredible in that period. for how much maligned the entire pop album have been, for me and many other it was their latest GREAT, good album
Sparky! his stuff is always great but the 90s especially for all of their stuff.
Adam was on 2020-2021
Adam has always been an absolute horse. Nothing fancy, nothing unneeded, sometimes extremely boring bass lines, but exactly what was needed
The bass on this song is boring, most of the bass is back track, you can see when the camera focus on him that his fingers almost don’t move... Adam is the weak part of U2, but works..
Greatest entrance of a rock and roll show ever!! And I saw a lot of shows!!
I thought this song sucked when I first heard it. But then I heard it live and it made sense to me. To me, this is the definitive version of the song.

@@mrvn061 Es por eso que POP es mi disco favorito. POP no está hecho para todos. Cuando tuve el CD como nuevo trabajo de U2 lo compre con mis propinas porque estaba en el colegio aún crío, venía de ZooTv, a primera escucha quedé desconcertado quise tirar POP a la basura pero poco a poco fui entendiendo la música dentro del disco y luego me gustó mucho más cuando salieron el ATYCLB el HTDAAB y el NLOTH. Amo POP y Popmart
@@enriquemendoza11278 POP se parece a esas películas que en su momento no tuvieron el favor del público o crítica, pero que con el pasar de los años se fueron convirtiendo en una obra de culto. El problema con POP radica en que la banda lo tuvo que hacer bajo presión, pues la gira PopMart ya estaba contratada por McGuiness antes de terminar el disco, lo cual hizo que no tuvieran concordancia estética o temática algunas canciones. Si los extraes te das cuenta que pudieron estar perfectamente en otros discos. Por ejemplo, "War," "The unforgettable Fire" y "The Joshua Tree" tienen un estilo propio y definido, igual "Achtung Baby," e inclusive "Zooropa," que es una extensión del anterior. POP en cambio da la sensación de haber quedado un poco crudo, a medio terminar; pero justificando el problema de tener que terminarlo antes de la gira. "If God Will Send its Angels," "Gone," "Staring at The Sun" y "Mofo" son los temas sobresalientes de un muy buen disco que pudo ser mejor, pero, dadas las circunstancias tiene su mérito el sacar valientemente la tarea. Fue malcomprendido en su momento, pero en calidad no tiene nada que envidiarle ni a AB ni a Zooropa en la década del 90. Lo único negativo a mi parecer fue la distribución de los temas. Yo los hubiese acomodado en distinto orden; pero bueno, es cuestión de gustos.
@@mrvn061 Ya lo dijo Edge en Sirius POP envejece muy bien y la gira POPMART está en su Top de conciertos favoritos. El orden de las canciones seguramente la planteó Bono para mí está perfecto el orden track por track en POP pasar de Mofo a IFGWSHA es contradictorio, dos polos opuestos, el infierno y el cielo... canción típica de U2 con el riff reconocible y único de Edge. Siento que en POP están los sonidos de todos los discos de U2. Es un millonario vestido de pobre. No es para todos lo repito y espero que siga así
@@enriquemendoza11278 Precisamente por eso escribí que lo del orden de las canciones del disco era cuestión de gustos. A muchos, como en tu caso les parece perfecto; mientas a otros nos hubiera gustado otro orden. No pasa nada. Lo cierto del caso es que la gira PopMart es top 3 de las mejores giras de U2, definitivamente.
What a damn good show, I was there, it was AWESOMEEE !!!
Great rythm section! Larry on Fire!!!
Looks sharp and sounds awesome. Time to re-release this amazing concert!

I was 2 Years old when POP goes Live... later I was on the Vertigo Tour in 05, and after goes to 360 in 11’ unfortunately can’t’ go to Joshua.

Once again, U2 shows their unique capacity on taking innovation, huge spectacle, visuals and technological advances and converge it all with soulfull, meaning and emotionally strong performances in a rock and roll show. Far from being just a flashy meaningless monstrous machine, PopMart was so much more than that, it had a primary message or theme, which was overcompsumption, I think... maybe I misunderstood the message🤔, but there's clearly a message behind the biggest hd screen ever used on a concert, that cowboy hat, the whole boxieman entrance, the toxicity awared bass player and that giant-discoball-vehicle-lemon. The last time a band has ever shown this creativity it was this same band, with the fenomenal and never seen before concert, ZooTv. I guess the ideas behind that tour were tele comunication, media oversaturation, misinformation, celebrity, the narcissistic excessive "popstar" lifestyle and TV as a the ultimate Influence. Again, maybe I'm totally wrong, maybe the meaning of it all it's open to interpretation and to each it's own. The same thinking of free interpretation can be applied to PopMart this time around. For me, I think PopMart was a look, not a critic to society, just a look on parallelism. How, in our world, we just live to consume and go buy our groceries everyday and get into fist fights for the last 15% discount iPhone on Black Fridays while, in a parallel world children have to run from home to school, dodging missiles everyday and have little to no chance of consuming...food and water. Not our fault thou, the world is unfair, we're all just living in it, I'm not to blame for some war going on in Beirut but from my world, I can look and I can see I can even help, even in the smallest way. so PopMart it's not meant to make us feel uncomfortable or guilty for how the other half live, it's just a look on that other half existence, that parallel world we just ignore and live carefree about...it's about concience. This concept, right or wrong, is what PopMart left me with, after my mind was blown up by the visuals and my heart was blown up by the music in that stadium in 1997.
@SuperNoone89 makes sense. All I know is there's a lot going on behind the big spactacle of PopMart , lot of meaning
what a screen.. what a song.. what a band!
Verdaderamente ESPECTACULAR!!!!! Algo así no se había presentado antes ese día estuve ahí
Muita gente reclamou do disco pop pela mudança de estilo!
