This is the song that separates the true U2 fans from the newbie’s and Las Vegas Lookie loos. The true U2 fans keep singing, while the others cheer thinking the song is over, when the truth is the song is now… yours to sing.
How long… ❤
Wow. So divisive, you must be a leftist.
@@bostonmattBono? I’d say 2 inch’s. That why they are called U2.
Yep
Wow, went in February- wished I would have made it this night. Holy smokes
My first U2 concert was 40 years ago. Thrilled to have been at their 40th Sphere show and cried my eyes out that they ended with 40. Epic. 💚
Lucky you. I was a week too early. This was the only way they could finish this residency
I hope you get the help you need
First U2 is just love in blindness and an acrobat i love this so g really
U2 sphere pas écologique désolée mais magnifique 😊❤
The moment the crowd realizes they're playing 40 is just beautiful
It is beautiful because Adam is grabbing the guitar and not the bass. A true U2 fan knows The Edge and Adam always swap instruments for this song
@sigmundfreud8976 yes, you are correct! They played 40 in Toronto 2005...I was there. They swaped instruments
Actually the crowd were singing it before the band even did. Lol. 😂😂😂
@@sigmundfreud8976any reason behind why they switch instruments? New fan here, just playing catchup.
@@RowenMyBoat lil late to the party but edge wrote the bassline for this song so that might be why. I'm not 100% positive though.
What a very great drummer is Bram. Larry has asked Bram exclusively to temporarily replace him. Bram did a very great job, just the way Larry wanted to see and hear.
I think they need to replace Paul... He obviously can't sing anymore - as sad as that is... 😢.. He's just talking now.
I saw U2 at Wembley Stadium in '87 and when the audience left at the end of the night they were still singing this on the subway on the way home.
Andy, Dublin, '85 and Dublin '87 I left with this song in my ears, memorys of two great concerts.
Same, but in US… miles from the stadium
Paris 85 was the same
@@itsmrfish1 great.
1987 Orange Bowl , Miami FL … Same wonderful thing , as we walked the exit ramps , we were all singing … 50 times better and more exiting than this …
We were walking out and still singing 40 in the parking lot at JFK in Philadelphia back during Joshua Tree tour in 1986. It was surreal.
There's something so special about "40" live and closing the show. The first time I experienced "40" was in 1987 at the Omni in Atlanta. To be one with everyone else singing it with all our hearts and continuing to sing it as we left the building out into the parking lot is an experience that you gotta have in order to truly understand it's power and the power of U2. Definitely a high point in my life. "40" will always be very special to me because of that. Thank you for sharing this and thank you U2.
Silverdome in Michigan ❤
My first U2 concert I ever went to I was totally blown away by the use of 40 to end the concert. It was such a moving experience to hear everyone sing it even as we left the building. People either sang the song or were walking silently. When a rock band and it’s music so emotionally impacts it’s fans and listeners they have truly transcended music
Me too... Exactly the same experience... What year and what city? December 8th 1984 Unforgettable Fire Tour at the Fox Theater in Detroit for me.
@@bobhewson2303 1984 Brendan Byrne Arena in NJ……..
Bram van den Berg is a Dutch rock musician who is the drummer of the band Krezip.He served as the live drummer of Irish rock band U2 during their Las Vegas concert residency U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere from 2023 to 2024, filling in for Larry Mullen Jr., who was recovering from surgery..
This night was our second time at the Sphere to see U2 and it was a truly spectacular concert. Unfortunately the venue is so amazing no online video does the concert justice.
I saw them at the Sphere on December 8th. My wife is the huge fan, seeing them at the Sun Bowl decades ago. I’m a passive fan, meaning I’ve liked the music but never went out of my way to see them. I am now a huge U2 fan. The Sphere is an incredible venue, but U2 made it an unfiorgetable experience. I’m almost 57, and seen many shows, but this is up there.
U2 still carries “The Unforgettable Fire”!!!
My friend and I sang our hearts out with this song back in 1983 at the U2 show for Rockpalast in Germany!
Ya, was there in Brighton in 1983 doing the same
The best u2 closer. I’m glad they saved it for the final. I have been waiting for it
I remember them playing in the Dandelion market in Dublin in the late 70’s. An absolute kip, but even in my mid teens I knew this was different, how, I didn’t know, but very different from everything else around at that time!
A proper ending to a great show
Few bands transcend art. Bestow the greatest
I will never forget this last song until the day I day. Die hard fans KNOW…It was so emotional. The perfect end to a perfect night and an amazing residency. The two shows I saw changed me forever. Thank you, boys 🫶🏼
True U2 fans know this is how they ALWAYS closed out their shows in the 80s. Loved that they will still pull it out for special occasions!
I agree. the Red Rocks album. The Unforgettable Fire tour, Dublin June '85, a great concert and a great version of this as it all wound down; great. Another two years, Dublin, June '87, Croke Park, Dublin, they came home, number one America that spring, what a gig and this same tune, as us folk listened..... only great.
PART 2 WIDE AWAKE IN DUBLIN TV SPECIAL FROM THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE TOUR 1985 ENHANCED....... type this into You Tube, go to 19 minutes and you get a great feel of the atmosphere as "40" is played. I was there, what a gig. I counted down the weeks, the days, the hours, Live Aid was only three weeks away, I knew they were going to carry it off - they did.
What?.... Bono talking lyrics? 😢😢
I can't think of another band that makes it feel like you're at a church for mankind, not a church for one religion or another but a church of life on earth.
Thank you U2, Thank you Bram, you were a worthy standin for Larry. You last beat on the drums was clear:The end to the song..🙏👏🏻❤
👍
Thank you for filming this last song on the last night of the show! Beautiful!
This is/was, the U2 I'll always know and love!!!👍👍💪💪☘️😎✌️
You could hear the cheer when Dallas Schoo handed Adam the electric... the die hard fans that go back decades knew what was coming... no one else had a clue... and that's OK! Everyone gets to enjoy this legendary band!!
Thank you for sharing. In the old days I used to see U2 always do 40 as the last song . Those were great times 😊
Loved this when it first came out. It always carried a lot of emotion because of its simple refrain. Wish I could have been at one of these concerts….but grateful for those who filmed them. Cheers from New Zealand. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿
If it is that good via UA-cam, how good must it have been in reality? Man, Rock n Roll never dies. 🚀
The videos don't do justice to the venue
I was fortunate to see their Joshua's Tree tour in 87. It was awesome. My 3 favorite all time groups, U2, Led Zeppelin and Santana.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ROCK BANDS 🎸🎶❤️😊
Wow
Ever since New Year’s Day was released I have made it the first song I listen to every New Year’s Day without fail. So that’s quite a run. 😉
Blessed to have been there this night for this final song.
Thanks for putting this up so quickly, very emotional.
What a beautiful way to end the amazing run! Bravo!!!

Stupenda,
Emozioni grandissime
U2 per sempre ❤
Love this song. I saw U2 in 1987 and again in 2015 at O2. Love U2 ❤
I'm lucky enough to have seen them multiple times. Manchester, Sheffield (lucky enough that it was live on the radio so i can listen to it in broadcast quality on youtube), Dublin, Amsterdam, Vegas.
I also took my son to the O2 in 2015 for his 8th birthday so he can now always say he's seen them live!
Hoping they tour again and visit Liverpool at Everton's new Stadium - icing on the cake lol.
Amazing live band!
I'm in my 40's, and still love U2 and having this as a live closer is amazing
I saw them close the Anaheim show in 2005 with 40. It was the show immediately before a gravely ill John Paul II passed and the band had been paying tribute to the Holy Father all evening. Tears when they closed with this. And then disbelief and disheartenment when the bandwagon, fair-weather,, let's be seen at the show "fans" actually booed when they realized U2 would not be returning to the stage.
pure emotion
Never knew they called the song 40 because it was written in 40 minutes. I have listened to it at least 40 times and I never knew that.
Psalm 40 in the bible
Psalm 40 in the bible was the inspiration
The lyrics are based on the first verses and last verse of Psalm 40
As Bono once said (bootleg Tear Down the Walls) from early 90’s, the 40 minutes has nothing to do with why this song is called “40”
Thank you for sharing!! so sweet! love U2 always!!
I love that they close with this! One of my favorite of theirs!
I remember coming out of a show in the early 80s, we all were singing it from the exits back to our cars. It was a next level experience for me.
In 1987 in Rotterdam this was the unbelievable experience! The crowd singing this song still when the lights went out!
Che meraviglia!!! Canzone magica, unica… per sempre U2❤!!!
BEAUTIFUL WAY TO END THE RESIDENCY!!
Clássica que me emociona sempre que assisto nas finais das turnês desde os anos 80.
Sempre com o Bono se despedindo antes, depois o baixista Adam Clayton que nesta música toca a guitarra, depois se despede o The Edge que nesta música inverteu com Adam e toca o baixo e finalmente depois de um tempo tocando solo, Larry se despede na bateria.
E também esta música foi uma das que me ajudaram na recuperação contra a depressão.
Eu amo essa música, e é emocionante ouvir sempre .
❤. Linda canção porém desconhecida.👍💞
‼️❤️❤️ thank u for posting ‼️‼️❤️❤️ snd fading to black. ❤️❤️ love love. Love Bono going up to Edge just before he exits. ❤️
Beautiful video! Great work as always Paulo!
My first show was in May of 83’ at
The Tower Theatre Upper Darby PA,
I was 17 , they closed the show with 40 and 90% of the crowd sang it all the way back to our vehicles 🎶
June 1985, and again, in June 1987, Dublin's Croke Park, two just great gigs and us leaving this song echoing in our ears..... look up an RTE documentary, "Wide awake in America", it filmed this song being sung and foursome leaving the stage. I was down in that crowd, what a concert! !985, jayney that's coming up on 40 years ago.......
All GOOD things come to an end -- sadly some are harder to take than others U2 - I want to thank you - you will always live on with me xxxxxxxx
Great to be Irish❤
Tears ❤
Awesome ❤
Priceless...They have given so much to all of us
Incredible last performance of U2 at the Sphere, what a wild ride! Was there the end of Sept for the second show and again for the last showing, magnificent! Would love be on the floor so close to the band but the standing for hours would kill my feet & back.
Beautifully edited video! Thank you!
Another masterpiece Paulo. ❤
LOVE THIS SONG 40 U2 BONO VOICE ROCKS 🤘🤘🖤
Mon groupe préféré, pour ça justement !! les fans qui pleurent, qui chantent encore et encore...the best band in the world
Sing this with me , this is 40 💙🖤💚🧡🤍
great!
Edge on bass.
Yep! Adam wasn’t in the studio when they recorded “40”. So Edge played both bass and guitar then. And because of that Edge and Adam always switch instruments when they play “40” live.
Merci beaucoup U2 pour tout c’est beaux moments!
À bientôt……
The only song that I am aware of where Edge and Adam switch instruments. Adam on guitar. Edge on bass. I’ve been a U2 fan for 40 years. But I only noticed it 2 years ago watching Yahweh/40 closing out the Vertigo tour Chicago DVD. I thought I was seeing things at first.
❤
It's great to see an artist doing a
REAL encore (because 99% of the
'encores' are planned from the beginning)
I go to a lot of concerts and have only
seen that 4 times so far:
Springsteen did 'Jersey Girl' in Vienna
2009, because a girl wore a shirt
with that song name on it
The other 3 were famous
German bands: Hosen, Onkelz,
Ärzte
Michael W Smith and DC Talk has even covered this in concerts.
While I think Achtung Baby is there best album ever, this song can bring a tear to me eyes. I've seen them 5 times but I really feel like I've missed out ion something special by not making it to a Sphere show.
I, like you have been a fan for decades and have seen U2 live now 6 times. I was at first skeptical about Bram drumming with the band and was not sure about going to see the show. I of course changed my mind and went to see the concert on December 16, my birthday and the supposed last concert of the residency. Even though I travelled from Canada and paid an astronomical amount, it was so worth it that I probably will never see another U2 show again… except if they do one again at Slane Castle. I’m sorry that you were not able to witness the magic. However the UA-cam footage is very good at conveying the essence of that experience. Blessings to you, the band and the universe. Song can connect, heal and unite!
🖤🔥🖤
❤🎶❤️😎❤️
Curious, did anyone notice that Edge played the bass guitar and Adam is playing lead? Is this usual for the band?
Yes; they usually switch on this song only.
Ive seen them play this live on a couple of occasions and never noticed!!
Yes. For this song, always.
👏👏👏👏👏
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
😎❤️✌️
A Vegas residency. It's over.
No other ban in the world has the ability to unite humanity for even a few ours
I was there final night!
Not bad. I prefer the last of the rockstars edit but this is nice too. I notice there’s always a softness to your edits. Is that a filter you put on? And if so, why?
Interesting to see Adam and The Edge swap roles.
they always did on 40
Music can save the World
Paolo, we’re you at this? I was dead center on the floor…I feel like I can pick myself out in that closing shot, singing until my vocal chords completely gave out, and singing some more. I recorded the whole thing from where I stood, but I was very much in the moment. Thank you for posting this (MUCH higher quality than my footage. Lol).
Great. I Guess you will edit the complete show with the future syrius broadcast ? I try to Begin this but sources are not great except for "40" 😅
All due respect to that drummer but only Larry Mullen Jr can bring 40 home.
Edge on bass
U2 J'adore 💕 depuis 30ans au moin mais Sphère incroyable dans génération 2.0 pas compatible avec ecologie désolée mais voilà j'y pense juste
The punk movement makes so much much much more sense now. And I mean more sense.
What an historical finish it would have been if Larry would have played this final song!
What if you weren't born?
Who's the drummer?
Omg u2 is not u2 without Larry Mullen Jr
I’ve uploaded a new version of fire call it a slight remix enjoy done for st Patrick day❤❤
Where is Larry Mullen Jr ?
He’s been through surgery for his back pains, shoulders and elbows, (and maybe his legs too.) and now he’s recovering/doing rehab for these injuries.
U2 spies?
The Edge is playing a bass and Adam is playing the guitar??
Not the same without lmj...i dont think he was keen on doing vegas anyway regardless of his injuries....
Maybe not the same but I saw the 01 December show and thought that Bram did a fabulous job. He is quite a good drummer in his own right.
Onde está o Larry Mullen Jr ?
Did Nancy Pelosi get front row seats ??
No LMJR no 40
