The dude ran a full circle and still sung in key and control. Legend.
Yep
He was 40 years old at the time too. Impressive athletic ability
And this stage is bigger than the usual indoor stage of Elevation Tour
Bad music
I could watch that all day 😂
I had moved to Ireland 3 weeks before these concerts and lived in slane 1km from the castle. Got residents passes for both gigs. I was still homesick up until the concerts and when he dedicated kite to his father who he had buried the day before I realised I had made my new home. 19 years later I’m still here. The most beautiful country Ireland.
Class reply, we are happy to have you. I was at the second concert , I did see them in Slane the first time they appeared, in 1981 supporting Thin Lizzy. My favourite Slane concert, 1985 , Bruce Springsteen! Epic. Just saw him in Wembley a month ago and saw U2 in the Sphere twice ! Incredible..
The transition between these two songs is one of the greatest moments in rock history.
No it's not, it's bullshit 😂
Absolutely! This performance shows the most complete version of just how amazing U2 are.
Insult to my ears
@@irishrebel1360 stop trolling bro
Can't help it, soooooo feckin bad man. U2 know they got lucky and laughed all the way to the bank !
The greatest thing about U2 concerts is singing together with 70,000 people. It's surreal, and honestly, some of my best memories are of U2 concerts singing with fellow fans.
It's really like being a member of the coolest family in the world when attending a U2 show . Everyone just seems to get along in the best way.❤
Anybody else get a certain happy feeling whenever you hear those first tones of Streets? EVERY TIME I hear it I love it. And....how cool is EDGE?
Bono's father who was a big fan of opera, & a singer himself, had recently passed away. That little nugget of information really adds the emotional depth of the interlude between the two songs. It's Bono honoring and mourning his father. Would have been nice to have that context explained in this video, really adds to the performance.
🖤🖤🌈🌈🌈
This was a week after his father passed away, and one week before 9/11
@@kirstinetermansen2213 Kirstine I understand heart but what about shitty rainbow flag? Did you find any lgbt+ content in this songs?! Where the gay have no aids? It's rock n' roll not fuckin netflix gay movie. Don't put your idelogy on great rnr song ok?!
The live version of Kite is a beautiful tribute to his father.
that fact adds "more than a little" extra to the performance of both songs. even though "all I want is you " is a wedding song from the bride's perspective, the title can also relate to wanting someone back so badly. The same is true for "where the streets have no name", a higher ground spiritually speaking. At "13:15, he sings "sorrow or pain". that lyric is improvised to address the loss he had to go through a week earlier as well as an expression of relief for his old man. if 100,000 join in to support you get over it...what a compassionate boost.
People forget Bono buried his Father 24 hours before this show.
He burried his dad the day before the first slane gig,the DVD is from the second slane concert a week later
@@discobeaker dvd is a mix of both shows. You can tell by the way he holds the microfone during streets and all of the sudden it's on the stand in the next scene
@@discobeaker It was less than a week.
u2 fans know it, it wasent a secret ;-)
@@Malphi1980 I was at this gig, great. We all felt for him as his father, Bobby had died and been buried the week previously plus they'd been controversy about would the second concert take place, the local authority had only licensed one concert. When this comes to an end, we hear him and "I want... all I want.....' and he sings in a sort of tenor voice paying an indirect tribute to his dad... I could hear the band start the recognizable notes of 'The Streets.....' in the background. A great moment; poignant. The previous Saturday he'd opened that song but not finished it, went almost immediately into the 'Streets.....' By the way is that song about his trip and work in famine-torn Ethiopia? (Not about the North of Ireland)
I was at that show 19 years ago. Drunk on U2 that year, I flew to London for a show there, then ferried to Dublin for this show a few days later. Just two of the opening bands were Coldplay and Red Hot Chili Peppers. And yes, Bono's dad died between those 2 shows. Fans were heartbroken for him and amazed that he went on with the show.
And what a show. "Streets" looked like a major catharsis for Bono.
Hey there. Slane is just a small town. Where did all those people park their cars? 😅
IM JELLY
@@leighhammill2607 my god !! Everytime I listen to this live track, the catharsis feels personal. The way he goes all out, dragging literally the last of his energies into the cry of 'youhh' at the end.... Suddenly you are one with the audience. The public performance becomes personal for that instant.
So sorry
Streets do actually have names in Northern Ireland. 'Where The Streets Have No Name' is actually in reference to the fact that during The Troubles in Northern Ireland, and still to this day, you could be identified as either a Catholic or a Protestant simply by the street you lived on. It also has a broader meaning of course, referring to socio-economic class all over the world and then just wanting to be free from all that and live where the streets have no name.
wrong, nothing at all to do with NI or any troubles. Bono has explained this. the place in the back of your mind you go to find a bit of piece from everyday life, is the place where the streets have no name. you can be anyone, meet anyone
Bono told me the other day man. @@ritchiefraser7291
@@ritchiefraser7291 According to Wikipedia, it's a contrast between Irelands streets, sort of like Joe said with being able to tell which religion and income bracket you're in by what street you lived on, and Ethopia, where the streets literally had no name. Well, basically finding peace there like you mentioned.
West Belfast street names were painted black so that the British soldiers didn't know what street to go into, but also in i think rowanda not 💯 about Africa but one street in west Belfast is called RPG avenue bechmount avenue,in other words do not enter.
@@mikem2778 Wikipedia is legit lol
fun fact - this concert took place just over a week from when Bono's dad passed away. around 10:25 in this video, you can hear him shout out 'bob' (his dad's name). the emotion he has throughout this entire concert and this performance specifically is what makes this one of the best!
I think he’s saying “It’s Paul, it’s Paul [Bono’s birth name]…I sing this song for him”
The part when “ Streets” starts give me always goosebumps! Absolutely incredible! I love U2 so much and I’m a big part in the fan community and what I read and hear is that this song is probably one of the most adored song from most of the fans! Being a part of the crowd during a concert is like being a part of a huge family 🥰❤️💕
I was at this concert. I was a mere 21 year old boy. This was the second of 2 gigs within 2 weeks at this venue. 80,000 at each gig. Bono’s father died prior to the gigs. The first gig was sober and sad but amazing, this second one was a celebration. Full of love and joy. Earlier in the day the organisers had allowed the Crowd to watch on the big screens the Irish soccer national team qualify for the World Cup. Winning and booking their place in the competition for the first time in 16 years. So the crowd was bursting at the seams with joy and celebratory mood. And the concert just ascended into a momentous occasion. A great gig.
Watching this tonight in Dublin with my now husband remembering this epic night in Slane which was our first concert together. This was just a few days after Bono’s Dad had passed away and the emotional raw performance was just unbelievable. Love your videos and have watched so many on your channel already. We’ve agreed that if U2 play in Slane/Dublin again your tickets are on us!! ☘️☘️
My tickets? Wow, thanks!
My dream is to see U2 at Slane!!! 😭😭😭
Running to stand still/where the streets have no name ZOOTV tour live in Sydney some of the best 11mins of live music ever in my opinion... FLAWLESS..but bonos voice in the ending of ALL I WANT IS YOU and the beginning of STREETS is truly epic
I agree! The transition between Running and Streets... Masterpiece
Where The Streets is a song about heaven. The fact he lost his dad 3 days before makes this ten times more amazing than it already is.
That opening riff to streets has to be one of the best in all of music. Also you should check out U2 at the SuperBowl halftime show after 9/11. Talk about goosebumps.
yep that really gave me goose bumps
When I first heard Streets live in 87 in Philadelphia they opened the show with it. I never was so effected by a song. To this day I’ve never had the same feeling about any other song
I have to say the Super Bowl show was an amazing event.
It's beyond epic! Nothing like it.
Streets is the best live song ever . I get goosebumps when they played Miss Sarajevo in Milan .
Watch "Out of Control" from the same concert... best live version ever.
Exactly
Was going to say the exact same thing. Sends shivers down my spine!
500 Pounds
Yup
That's true. Still doesn't compare the the subject of the video though.
Great gig. I was there with a friend. We were in the ‘Heart’ in front of stage. I’m on the dvd a few times. Massive U2 fan, and one great gig. We drove about 3 hours in the middle of the night to queue early so we made it to the front. I still have some amazing pictures of Bono and the gig.
Yeah so we're another million fans lol
I was in the heart at Manchester. (2nd row) Also drove 2 hours overnight and slept on the street to make sure I got front of stage! 😊
I got there early, too, right at dawn, but didn't make it in the Heart (too old and fat to run fast enough). A few days earlier I was on the second row after camping out for London (3rd show, I think). Earl's Court.
I’m Irish ,
Drummer now live in Nashville .larry and I had same drum teacher . Been around the band many times they are guys . I’m proud of all their success Joshua tree is big album for me . Their shoes are always epic they out major work into their shows . They have the best crew in the music industry and always want to give the best show they can for their fans
I love this version/medley! This is one of my favorite U2 performances ❤️😊 I just love the transition from one song to the next one, Bono’s voice and The Edge’s guitar are just pure magic.
At the end of 'All I Want is You' - nothing like 100,000 Irishmen singing the house down - spine tingling...
Yes, the 2002 Superbowl Halftime Show featuring U2 after 9/11 was one of the best...
i live no too far from Fordham University and friends were there when U2 walked in set up and started playing out side the building and televised it on ABC7, it was awesome
‘The Sweetest Thing’ is the song Bono wrote as an apology for Ali. ‘All I Want is You’ is one of the greatest love songs ever written. This concert was legendary. I wish I’d been there. It’s one of my dreams to see them in Dublin, hopefully when Covid isn’t keeping us all home. The beginning of Streets always gives me chills, every single time.
He also lifted the song to Ali, she gets all royalties from the song and donates them to charity.
Slane 2001, they played two concerts a week apart, I was at both of them. Two of the best shows I was at. I was also at the ZOO TV, PopMart and 360 tours but these were the best shows!.
They were the concerts they did around the time Bono’s father died too, the one that was released on DVD was absolutely beautiful. I believe Bob Hewson was on stage with them that night.
babymullen As far as I recall, he buried his father the day before the first gig.
My husband and I had our first dance to All I Want Is You. I sang the whole song to him while we danced and later had the lyrics tattooed on my back. Love U2
Also our first dance song. We saw Reality Bites on our first date. Then I bought the soundtrack and it instantly became 'our song.'
And Streets was always my favorite before that.
Look up the 2002 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The version of Streets Have No Name is also amazing......He pulls off a bonus with his jacket at the end while the names of those who passed in the World Trade Centers scroll behind the band. It's a heart wrencher…..
U2 still amazes me whenever I see their concert clips. I saw them live in Seoul last November for Joshua Tree 30th anniversary and they were still amazing.
This was & still is one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to, just phenomenal.
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
Until the end of the world at that Slane gig is U2’s finest live performance. It’ll blow your socks off!🤪🤪🤪😁
Remember watching this live from my home in Derry, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing, what a concert it was, electric atmosphere. Bono was on fire. Has to be one of the best concerts ever
One of the greatest song transitions ever and you are talking over it.
It´s Feb 15th, 2006, Mexico City... U2, my favorite band of all time, is playing in my hometown. I arrive at 05:00 am at the stadium ´cause I have one bracelet that will allow me to get inside the semi-circle to be just in front of the band. Around 5pm we are allowed to enter the stadium and when I settle down I realize there will be NONE standing between me and the band, I even get to rest my arms in the fence that separates the audience from the catwalk so I am gonna meet these guys just a couple of meters away. The concert starts, Edge is on my side almost 90% of the time. I get to see Bono just a couple of times but man... This is Bono!!... aaaaaand it´s my birthday.
ONE OF THE HAPPIEST NIGHTS IN MY WHOLE GODDAMNED LIFE.
U2 are on levels unattainable for everyone else.😎 Chapeau!!🤘 🤙
Hi Glitch, this was the best transition from one song to another. I remember this so well, because I was there, with my twin, his wife and a dear friend. Keep going with the channel. K🇮🇪🍀❤️
It remembers me their live in Paris in 2001 where I was... You have few lead singers in the world who can bring an audience to such a level of "let it go" (Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode and Jim Kerr from Simple Minds are the same kind in my opinion). I was with 2 friends who liked U2, but not as much as me (I'm about the same age as you so U2 is a part of my youth forever....) and at the end of the concert they were stunned and almost shocked by it, it was a pleasure to see their smiles in their faces... U2 concerts have a weird atmosphere of communion and happiness. The 2 most impressive things for me are the audience singing and clapping and the way Bono; even if he hasn't a "big voice", is able to bring people with him whenever he wants.... I will always remember when the lights were suddenly up in Bercy (concert hall) at the beginning of "Where The Streets Have No Name" and audience singing and wawing their arms in the air ua-cam.com/video/KMGUav0N2h8/v-deo.html at 13:45, the sound and image are a bit crappy but you can see and feel how people were happy and completely insane... surely one of the best memories in my life....
You are the most sophisticated music critic ever lol
The first time I saw U2 was in 1985. Then life took over and I didn't see them again till 2000 in Dublin, Ireland at the Freedom of the City town hall where they were given the key to the city of Dublin. The next day they took some sheep to St. Stephen's Green and let them graze because you are allowed to do that as Freemen of the City of Dublin. Then I saw them twice in 2001 and then once in 2005 and 2009. Not as many times as some people, but I cherish every U2 concert because they are so good. Great reaction video. Happy to see your daughter likes U2. They truly are epic live in concert.
U2 was the most exhilerating concert I ever attended! They are pure Love and Light! 💖💖💖
I was at this gig , Elevation Tour , August 2001, Slane Castle, Ireland ☘️ support act was Red Hot Chilli Peppers who were awesome! to this day it was the most incredible gig I've ever been to....no special effects or fancy production....it was stripped down and raw....not just the music but raw emotion as Bono had buried his father few days previously and yet still put out one of his greatest performances! I get chills and tear up every time I watch the DVD of the full concerts! U2 are the greatest LIVE band in history and also the most successful....one more tour before they retire will make them the worlds only BILLION dollar band! If you like this performance of STREETS then check out Boston 2001, Superbowl 2002 and Zoo TV Sydney 1993. Epic! Also "the Fly" live Boston is one of my favourites of all time! Note that this is before smartphones..... hence the ENERGY and crowd participation......you don't see this anymore! Smartphones KILLED the live experience imo! Nowadays people are too busy watching the live gig through their phone and posting to social media that they miss the moment and don't experience the concert in the same way as these people!
There's nothing else left for me to recommend, this is it. This gives me endless chills, and I always tear up during the transition. It's stunning. Music magic 👌
I saw them a month later at Notre Dame, a month after 9/11, I was 19. Apparently was their smallest show in the US in a long time, felt really special! Still can't believe we got tickets (we weren't students) but that was before you could buy them online so we had to get there early the day they went on sale and wait in line! One of the best shows I ever saw, there was already a lot of emotion and everyone was still pretty shaken, it was pretty cathartic. I cried all through Where The Streets Have No Name!
I live 20 minutes from Slane,seen U2 four times and Slane was one of those 4 times.I still get goosebumps when WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME kicks in.
I’m pretty much an atheist, but whenever I hear that opening arpeggio, I understand exactly what Bono means when he says that song is like God walking into the room.
I was in the crowd that day....one of the best days of my life so far
“All I want is Effin you man “ at the guy who threw something at him on the cat walk best part lol
Fellow die-hard here... dude you kill me. You're as into it as I am when I'm watching U2. Love it. Keep on rockin'!
I'm a huge U2 fan and have watched this version dozens of times! What a great choice!
U2 live concerts are the best❤️❤️❤️
"It's Paul, it's Paul. I sing this song for him. I sing this song for him."
Paul David "Bono" Hewson's father Bob had died 3 days earlier. His funeral was the day before this concert. The guttural wail just breaks your heart. One of the greatest, rawest musical performances ever.
Can you do "One" from Live 8, or Sunday Bloody Sunday from the Rattle And Hum documentary? The latter has some...harsh language in it, so maybe that's too much, but the plain, raw rage from Bono in that performance is unparalleled.
Kite live at slane castle is also a tribute to his father, who died several days before. It gives me goosebumps every time i hear that version.
Bob Hewson died on the 21st of August, this was filmed on the 1st of September, so a bit more than 3 days, but still very raw obviously
Thank you for posting that! I was trying to figure out what he was saying for the longest time!!!
This concert took place just days before 9/11... our return flight back to the US never happened... stuck in Dublin for almost 3 weeks until Oct... what a strange time in our history...
Show her the Halftime show that following Feb... U2... New Orleans... epic
the song is about a place in Ethiopia where Bono and his wife Ally went during a great famine. That experience changed him and that's what this great song came from.
Took place on 1 Sept 2001. Earlier that day Ireland played The Netherlands in Dublin and won 1:0 in a world cup qualifier. This was one Ireland's most famous victories and was crucial in qualifying for the 2002 World Cup. The match was played live on the big screens at gig. Link to Jason McAteer’s goal.

I was there. There was a sea of pints being thrown in the air at full time.
I was there the week before the only time slane has been on twice in the one year
@@Joe-kt8nt So jealous. I'd have given my right arm to be there
I think you live in Dallas so I was at the same "Joshua Tree" tour show. I went with my wife and a friend of ours, and all three of us agreed it was the best concert we've ever seen. It was eight hours of pain standing on the floor to get as close to the stage as we could, but so worth it. U2 live is a life-changer.
Yes, that is the show we went to as well. It was absolutely amazing, very cool you were there too.
Glitch in the Matrix Multi-Media me too! I grabbed one of my highschool teammates and went to the Dallas show! We got front row on Edge’s side of the tree stage
this performance still gives me chills....I saw U2 live in 1987 on the Joshua Tree tour and to this day was the BEST concert I have seen in my 56 years on this earth....it was a nice I will never forget xoxox
If you want to watch an absolute incredible version of this song. A few years ago they played a holiday special on BBC with a small string orchestra. Brings tears to my eyes when they stop playing and you can see the true respect they have for the other musicians. Check it out.
Also got the chills!!!! the birthday song for his wife is The Sweetest Thing
Yes, The Sweetest Thing, my mind just went blank when I was talking about that!
The sweetest thing is the song he's referring to
Easily the greatest two songs from one if the greatest concert films ever recorded. Filmed soon after Bono's father died, which, it has been surmised, contributed to the amazing passion of the band's performance that night. And, of course, it could only have been filmed in Dublin. The segue between songs always gives me chills. Always.
When I saw U2 at Wembley in 1993 on the Zooropa tour, there was about 500 screens for the multimedia-epic that was that tour. When they did Where the Streets Have No Name, the screens ALL had this pale red, and they started with just the organ sound, and then The Edge, and the red colour gently warmed up with the music. I was near the back, and all I could see was the huge crowd bouncing up and down near the front to this warm red light, and that song. And I still get chills just typing this 30 years later.
This gig was a day or 2 after Bono's dad passed away, so the entire gig is very emotional. It came out on a dvd as well. They wanted to cancel it but Bono refused.
You have a point about their concerts, I became a real fan only after seeing them live, I loved the music before, but they blew me away in concert. Check out the entire slane castle dvd, my favorite, zootv is amazing too, especially Running to standstill.
The song you refer to is Sweetest thing, the video was filmed in my favourite neighbourhood in Dublin
Missed the part where Bono gets some beer over him at 8:30 though... The way he handles it at 8:38 with a smile and a very spontaneous "All I want is fucking you man" (I don't think Annie knows why he said that?) just shows how very relaxed he is, surrounded by thousands and thousands of fans. To me, that's one of the reasons I love U2 and, as you said, they're one of the best live bands. You always kinda feel like you've been invited into their personal lives. Their home, even.
my father grew up buying u2’s albums, therefore my childhood consisted of listening to u2 non stop, his dream was to take his kids to watch them and he did last november for the joshua tree, he has seen them live 5 times and thinks that last november was the best one, very blessed and i have watched this dvd hundreds of times, love it
This comment is kind of crazy because this is almost exactly the same for me... My Dad had me grow up listening to U2 and always wanted to take me... hes also seen them 5 times and I also went to see them last November for Joshua tree with him and he also said that that was the best one that hes seen
I have not missed a tour in thirty years. They speak a truth I cannot turn from.
My favorite all time song of U2 is Unforgettable Fire.
Good song.
8:34 gets splashed by water 8:44 listen. He wants something else. Irish humour at its best. Never lost a beat😉😉😉
Epic...what most people don't realise is that this was recorded the day after the funeral of Bono's Dad, Bob. And the same day as the Republic of Ireland beat The Netherlands in a historic match that was shown on the screens before the concert. The majority of the 80,000 had been there all day enjoying the match and then the concert. I dread to think how many beers were demolished before the singing even started!! An amazing homecoming concert for what was at the time the biggest band in the world by a long, long way. This wasn't just a 2 hour show..this was the biggest week of my life with a 2 day trip each way to get there and back. The Irish hospitality was amazing, as was seeing the people walking, cycling and hitching a ride just to get there. The bit in the middle of "Streets" when ALL the lights go on for the first time so the whole crowd can see each other for the first time will stay with me forever. God Bless humans and music x
Bono once said that every time U2 play Where The Streets Have No Name live its like "God walks through the room" such is the emotional connection between the band and the crowd and its hard to disagree. On every tour they have always made sure that Streets is given the perfect platform to take off in the way that it does. Another incredible version is from the Boston show from the same tour, and I would argue that the segue between Bad and Streets from that show is even better than this.
I concur with all the comments about this show regarding the fact he had literally just buried his Dad a few days before. The emotion of his performance throughout the whole show added so much and the crowd, knowing what he had been through, fed off Bono's emotion and escalated this gig into the stratosphere. I think giving that context before viewing this video would have been even more impactful for your daughter when she saw it.
Yeah the interlude of 40 between bad and streets during the Boston show was perfection
U2 must be the best live band to have ever existed
I like the version he sings at the Super Bowl after 9/11.
As the intro plays, he can be heard saying; "Lord open my lips, that I may sing forth thy praise."
Bono is a true believer in God. I will always respect him for that.
And when he opens his jacket at the end....
Tears filled my eyes.
Hello John, One, I think it's awesome that you're introducing the Magic of U2 to your daughter and the next generation! Two, I think it's so amazing that you and your 14 yo daughter, can sit in the same room together, without a fight breaking out! The POWER of U2! Seriously, consider yourself blessed to have a relationship like that with your daughter. Three, I saw this on a Morning show, the host had a few everyday items from the distant past, the 1980's, and they had College students as test subjects. The students had to Identify what item was and operate or use it. One of the items was a rotary phone, and they had to make a phone call. Hilarious watching them trying to make a phone call. Another was a phone book, the big thick Yellow Pages phone book. They had to look up the number of a small business, I think it was a plumber, again hilarious. I think the third item was one book from a set of Encyclopedias. Maybe your son and daughter can travel back in time and identify and use different objects from the past! I think there may have been a Typewriter too.
When the entire world seems bent on tearing family apart it's a wonderful thing to see a dad and daughter spending time together this way. Keep it up dad!
Everyone should see a gig in Ireland at least once in their life.
I'm a lifetime fan of this band, but I think they don't kill it anymore. They are still a pretty good band, but the inspiration seems to fade and the whole thing gets to political.
@@marekboromovski9826 only bono
@@marekboromovski9826 they're a political band. Their best songs are about Ireland, our history and the Troubles.
@@Ciaradexy I know. Their and specifically Bonos activism should have sticked to this topic. As I wrote it is too much politics.
For another reaction could take a look at some 90s era U2 with zootv tour. U2 at the peak of their powers just absolutely insane, the achtung baby album has some of their best work on it. Also very cool to see the development of the band from the 80s with Joshua tree through to the 90s and into the 2000s with performances like these. Ever changing but still the biggest band in the world
I so identify with you. Your joy when you watch this is exactly how I feel. The energy and the atmosphere is surpassed. You have great taste. The Edge makes it for me in these songs. His style and use of effects is the best. Thanks for sharing, I hope your daughter gets on board.
Probably the greatest live segment of U2’s career in one of their best concerts ever. Legendary stuff!
This is such a great video. I was at the first Slane concert and the atmosphere in Ireland in the run up was incredible. I was 20 years old at the time. Everyone was talking about U2. Then a few weeks later 9/11 happened and everything changed in the world. I always think of this concert as conclusion to the pre 9/11 world.
Absolutely agree with you. I moved to Ireland 3 weeks before the slane gigs and lived 1km from the castle. They were the last of concerts before the new world began. Kind of like pre internet days.
I was there too with my older brother. What a line up, what a day, what a show.
As very emotional concert as he had just buried his dad
The performance at SLANE CASTLE of the song kite if you have not seen it already Will blow your mind as it was written about his father and him letting him go.
@@dmrobbins73 It wasn't specifically written for his Dad, he just dedicated the song to him at this gig.
He went onto write 'Sometimes you can't make it on your own' which was for his Dad Bob.
@@CB_Legatus Correct. In fact, Bono had been talking for several months about relating the song Kite to his dad, who had been sick. That's why I printed up a bunch of stickers to give out to people in the Heart saying, "Light up for Bono's dad at the first note of Kite" at the London 3 show, a few days prior to Slane. It worked.
This is one of my all time favorite U2 videos. The fact that he lost his father just prior to this video is astounding!
First time watching your channel. I'm a huge U2 fan. Actually my husband and I and also part of our friends listen to u2 since 1989, the time the band started playing on radio stations here in Brazil. It means a lot to me seeing the way you interact with your kids... the same way I do with my 17 year old son helping him understand what felt like being a teenage in the 80's and 90's. The world was so confused by then. I do hope our kids build a better reality for them after all these days of pandemic crisis.
I also listen to the bands my son likes. That's an amazing exchange of ideas and experiences.
Hugs to you all.
Nice job. ❤
I was privileged to have attended this show just in front of the stage, a magical night Ireland had beaten The Netherlands, the weather was perfect, the crowd in sympathy with Bono on the passing of his father, the spirit was in the house and love was in the air. The video recording manages to capture this atmosphere and is a triumph. The world changed 10 days later following the events of 9/11. The last great gathering of the people before the death of innocence.
I was at Madison Square Garden to see U2 a little over a month after 9/11. I will never have a more moving experience as long as i live
I Think the Superbowl-Halftime Performance of "Where the Street have no Name" was the best Version ever of this Song.
Agreed and also the NBA halftime of “Streets” is really epic.
As someone who isn't a big U2 fan, anytime I've seen this song live there's something special that sends the crowd wild.
The way Bono holds the note at the the segway is pure emotion.... it's sublime
Need to watch and react to U2 at the Super Bowl right after 9/11 - Talk about CHILLS!~
One of the greatest 10min in music history! Bono's voice and edges guitar is perfect, but can we also give it up to edges background vocals! Amazing!
The best ten minutes of any concert ever, considering the loss of his dad.
A week doesn’t go by without me watching U2 Go Home
One of the best shows I've ever been to. Can't believe it was 20 years ago. Bonos voice and band at their absolute peak
You guys still need to react to U2 "Zootv: Live in Sydney", best concert they ever did!
Mysterious Ways ! Wow! I have to admit that I wasn't a fan of the Zooropa album back in the day. But I appreciate it more now. And yes I know Mysterious Ways is on Achtung Baby which for me is their best work.
Mysterious Ways with the belly dancer. The....best....ever.
I was about to comment that they should watch Bullet from Zoo TV Sydney. That is at the top of the list.
Yeah Bullet the Blue Sky into Running to Stand Still or Until the End of the World into New Year's Day ✊
Peak U2 for me. Never bettered that era personally for me.
You seriously have to watch the Zoo TV Tour from Sydney, Australia when they do Mysterious Ways and the Edge's now wife does the belly dancing! It's simply amazing. My favorite version of that song.........ever. Give it a go!
I’ve seen them live three times in Chicago, but Slane Castle is by far my favorite live video! Love that you’ve introduced U2 to your daughter. She has excellent taste in music!
Being Irish, when U2 were at their best, saw them many times live, we took them for granted, as with The Cranberries and Sinead O'Connor, later on. Around this time, I was 21, it was amazing, but, what you're used to, becomes normal. I was in a Mexican (only in our capital city Dublin at the time) restaurant a couple of times, with U2 dining at the next table. My friend and I were stunned. Would have loved to have an autograph, but, it would be considered in very poor taste, we allow artists to live their lives freely. They are lovely men, very humble and not arrogant.
The "birthday" song, Bono wrote for Ali was Sweetest thing.
@The Dan and Bono wrote it when he forgot Ali's birthday in 1986
You should do the 2002 Superbowl half time show with U2
Incredible performance
I agree. Best Super Bowl halftime show ever.
Yes.
The set that made me a U2 fan, and the second best Super Bowl halftime show ever. (Sorry, you just can’t top Prince playing “Purple Rain” in a fucking monsoon…)
Love it. U2 concerts, especially in the 80s and 90s were out of body type experiences. Nice to see you getting your daughter to see what actual brilliant music sounds (and looks) like! Good on you - God bless!
U2 are a live band. Its what they know, and where they excel. They have an incredible catalogue of recordings, but when they are on it, as they were at this Slane concert, the live versions of the songs are astounding. They have an incredible work ethic, we can all choose to have this. But also there is the Edge - Bono talks of the Edge being 'like an owl' sitting for days searching for a chord sequence or an idea not giving up. Years maybe. But the reward is the music for Beautiful Day or Original of the Species or All I Want is You or Angel of Harlem or where the streets have no name.... He is really an incredible and unique talent
U2 "The Sweetest Thing" is the song for his wife Ali. featuring Boyzone, The Artane Band, male dancers on a fire engine, Irish traditional dancers, classical musicians, Steve Collins an Irish gold boxer. and a circus. A great video to say sorry.
I was just going to say that !! Great Vid and song!
Live at "Red Rocks - Under a Blood red sky"! Gloria, etc.. You know you have to! :)
Great Video some of the best bands in the world played Slane Castle Concerts. Acts such as Metallica, The Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Guns 'N Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, David Bowie, Queen, and REM have performed in Slane. Also, I love the Tshirt
Rick Astley Never gonna give you up. The song you are Talking about is Sweetest Thing. Bono wrote this as a birthday present to his wife, Ali. On her birthday, he was working on recording The Joshua Tree, so he was trying to make up for it. U2 recorded this for The Joshua Tree, but left it off because they felt it did not fit in on the album.
The streets of no name is actually taken from the troubles in Northern Ireland that were so prevalent in the 1980’s.
There was a lot of tension and riots Between Catholics and Protestants particularly in Belfast itself and certain streets in the city would have been dominantly either catholic or Protestant depending on their name.
Hence why bono imagined a place where you were not judged by where you were from or if you were catholic or Protestant.
He imagined a place where streets had no name, no judgement, no rioting, no tensions. Just love.
Bono whose mom was Presbyterian and father catholic.
By the way that song he wrote for his wife as an apology for missing his wife’s birthday was the sweetest thing. Your welcome. Peace 🤞🏻
