Thank you, for this amazing reaction! I raised my 2 sons on U2. My eldest son went to his first concert at 10yo. Of course, I took him, 10th row seats. I'm now watching my 2 gorgeous grandbabies sing this! Thank you, thank you! Greetings from Canton, Ohio!💕

Bono made stadiums feel intimate. some of my happiest moments were at U2 Concerts.

U2 and Queen at live aid probably most killer performances ever

Can I just say that 2 days before this performance, Bono's dad past away, I was at the concert before this where he asked us to pray for him, if you listen to transition between All I want is you and Streets, the pain, the hurt...gives me goosebumps ❤❤❤❤

This Australian woman, born of deep Irish Heritage, would put U2 up with the best of them. Bono actually inducted Bruce Springsteen into The Rock and Roll Hall of fame and he’s actually pretty funny, it’s definitely worth a look.🎼❤️🇦🇺❤️🇬🇧🕺🏻💃🎸☘️

I admire U2 for so many different reasons and this how reminds me of all of them. They stand strongly for things in music and in life, together.

This is one of those transactions from one song to another that simply pierced my entire body and literally touched my soul.

One of my favorite performances by one of my favorite bands! Their Superbowl Halftime performance is considered one of the best. PS - Bono’s father had passed away just a couple of days before this concert. “Kite” is another song during it that was powerful.

These were the last two songs played at my wedding and it was these exact live versions from slane castle. When i tell you it ended the night with a bang is an understatement everyone was up young and old.

All respect to Queen but THIS was the GREATEST live performance in Rock history. I'm not a huge U2 fan, although The Joshua Tree is a top 20 album of All Time for me, but I bought a DVD of this concert. Reading about the circumstances leading up to the concert (and having foreknowledge of 9/11 just days later) I wondered how i would feel about their performance. This two song tandem put me in tears at the cosmic elegy it had become from the personal grief of Bono saying goodbye to his father who was buried the day before, to the sudden shock of the three thousand souls who vanished into the abyss beneath the rubble where the World Trade Center Towers had stood hours before in the bright morning sunlight. Bono's voice was the primal scream of everyone who has tasted the bitter tears of loss. And yet Edges guitar rang out like Heavens chimes of victory over Death. "I'll show you a Place with no Sorrow or Pain, where the streets have no name!" This is the Big Music the Waterboys sang about."I have heard The Big Music, and I'll never be the same; Something so pure has called my name."

Their live shows are incredible. For a lot of them, you want to check them out during the era in which they were written before checking out later iterations of them. Such as An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart live at Red Rocks in 1983 and Exit/Gloria live in Denver, Colorado 1987 from the Rattle and Hum documentary. I've loved every era of this band. There are a lot of people who like different eras more but I haven't met a single one of their songs that I haven't loved. They recently released a new album full of reconstructed songs spanning their whole career and I love them too. U2 were always ahead of their time in their music and the world has always been running to catch up with them.

Watch the video "ONE" where David "BONO" I believe is sitting in a bar/pub. It is my favorite song of theirs.

I have always loved U2 but I've never seen this video. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I was totally impressed with the person that threw that liquid onstage during the video. It was a perfect shot and thankfully it wasn't anything that could harm Bono but what a shot. Thanks for adding this music memory to my day, Haps. Great reaction. Take care and be well. Peace.

One of the greatest transition from one song to another. As someone noted, Bono’s dad died just before the show. You can hear him crying out before the 2nd song and watch the guitarist looking at his friend

I'm not a vocal coach or expert but Bono always delivers vocally.

Can't remember if this is in Chicago or Slane castle. If slane castle, this was a day after his dad's funeral. If so, listen to Kite from slane castle. Very emotional piece. Can see the tears and quiver in his voice as it cracks.

There was a period (long time ago, lol) when I was very obsessed with U2 and especially their »Joshua Tree« album (my favourite song from that one is definitely »I still haven't found what I'm lookin for«). The Edge especially fascinated me, his guitar sound so specific and recognizable. Great reminder of (I agree with that comment you read) the best Irish band ever!

We’ll get you there - a new fan to U2🤩. Nothing wrong with it. This group brings back great memories to my youth. U2 is founded in Dublin in 1976, they got their current name in 1978 and have since consisted of lead singer Bono, guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen junior. According to Rolling Stone Magazine, U2 is the longest-running and still active band with original line-up. The extra magic to this songs here really is the transition from one to the other, although each song as such is fantastic. In this transition Bono let all out his mourning and around 7:10 you can see the guitarist "The Edge" watching compassionately Bono's singing. I also like how well The Edge while playing the guitar, coplements Bono's singing and both have a good voice which easily can hold infront of this massive sound. Yes, let's go down this rabbit hole. Thanks for this reaction HAP🥰🙋🏻‍♀️.

🎶🔥💥🎸 My favotite opening of any song. The Edge KILLS it. Never fails to give me chills. I know that some find Bono a polarizing artist, but I don't think that you can deny his talent. The band together is superb. There is no mistaking the U2 sound. Joshua Tree is one of the best albums ever put out. If you have the opportunity to hear it take it. I have had the pleasure of seeing them in concert several times, each time such a unique and exciting experience. I 💘, love this song 🎵, it is special. Each band member kills it, drums, bass besides the lead guitar and vocals. 💥💥 Please feel free to go down the U2 rabbit hole!! AWESOME reaction Hap! 💥😊 GREAT choice Uschi! Peace J ✌ ☮ 💕🦂

I think U2 is great! They are my boss' favorite band. One day, he told me, "Get me six tickets to the concert." They would always sell out in minutes) I was ready, had everything set up, and was watching the countdown online. He got his 6 tickets, and I got the rest of the day off! I've heard this song, great reaction, as always ✌️ ☮️ 🎵 ❤

So fun to watch someone explore my favorite band! Thank you for watching, sharing and appreciating! I have been very fortunate to see them over 50 times live and it all started in a small bar in New Haven CT in 1980! Edge and Bono have wonderful harmony's and Streets has always been a great example~

U2 is hands down the best live band ever!

Dude, you have no idea how good this band is... if you did, they'd be your favourite band.

I've seen U2 live over a dozen times, but this is the concert I most WISH I'd been able to attend! There's nothing else quite like their live shows.

So f-Ing good! And it’s a deep, glorious hole to fall into!

Always loved U2. Hey hap Courtney Hadwin has gone Independent artist and has a new one out. Called Breakable she's back!!

I think you will like their performance of the song "Bad" at Live Aid in 1985. Yes, they were there :-) Seeing it for the first time is an amazing experience. Thanks to this recording, I rediscovered (literally a few weeks ago) the band U2, which I have known since I was a child (born in 1985 :-)) and always associated with the 90s. I highly recommend it, because there is something completely out of this world when the music, lyrics, associated experiences, the mood of the moment, and probably many more things, shake a person and give them goosebumps.

Awesome U2!! Very authentic reaction HAP! 🥰❤️🥰

Sun Devil performance is the definitive one

U2 the best singer of the world...from brazil 😊

If you like that song transition watch they're transition between "Running to Stand Still" and Streets at the ZooTV concert.

Great reaction 👌 you need to react to U2’s performance of Bad at Live aid . Legendary and propelled them to superstar status. I heard you mention Freddie Mercury , U2’s live aid performance is the only performance of the same class as queens that day

I was at one of the gigs on that tour in Manchester, it was in 2001 😬😳🎶❤

The Joshua Tree album is a must have of a music lover. Streets with no names is in my top 3 u2 songs. This was an awesome two for one video. Hadn't seen it thanks. AKA Lowrider. Great reaction.

They are amazing

A wonderful musical start to my day!! Two fantastic songs from U2, and sincerely an awesome reaction to carry me through it!! Thanks, Hap!! 💜🎵

This particular performance of Where The Streets Have No Name, Bono has dedicated to his father who I believe died two nights / days before this concert. What an performance. Chills every time Later, in 2005 they created the song City Of Blinding Lights which is in so many ways similar to Where The Streets Have No Name

U2 is an amazing Irish band. Try reacting to With Or Without You or Sunday Bloody Sunday

Hey You Have To U2 Super Bowl 36 Half-Time Show A Beautiful Day & Streets Have No Names

This is one of my favorite live videos from U2 I saw them in LA in 1992 one of my top 5 concerts!!!

Best band in the world ever in my opinion. They are insane live. Bono is so dynamic, passionate, emotional in concert. He has a magnetism about his at times too. They're all stellar musicians. They've been together since they were teens. The drummer put an advert at school to start a band. He was 13 and the others were a year or so older. They're in their early 60s now and going strong. Check out something from Achtung Baby - maybe start with One. Rolling Stone ranks it as the 60-something best song ever. A lot recommend their performance of Bad at Live Aid and it is insane. They hadn't quite made it big yet and they thought they blew their big chance there as they were not to go over a set amount of time, and they weren't to leave the stage (towards the audience). They did both. Bono is famous for going to the crowd. He connects with people. The audience at Live Aid was enormous, but he spotted someone in trouble in the crowd and jumped down himself to help get her out. She since said she thinks he saved her life. It's insane and they thought they were finished after that, but it put them on the map around the world. So One or Live Aid Bad. Careful with that second one as whomever owns it blocks. I saw them on this Elevation tour and wish I had seen them every time they toured across 40 years tbh. Oh, the first song he dedicated to his wife, Ali. They were childhood sweethearts and have been together since he joined the band in Larry's kitchen, married a few years later. If you hear a couple more and like them, see something from ZooTv. It's an *experience* you will never forget. My favorite concert by anyone ever. It was insane especially for the time. They used tech that was invented just for them for that tour that no one had used before. I'd give up every concert I've ever seen to have seen that one and I've seen some good ones. Where the Streets Have No Name - 'I'll show you a place with no sorrow or pain' It's about a real place, and there's a story behind it. There's usually a story behind all Bono writes lyrically. Sometimes the lyrics are about many things at once.... but they are all about love. I think you're right about the more you listen to them the more you'll love them. It's why many of us watching the reactions who have known and loved them our whole lives are such *huge* fans. :) Btw, I absolutely love them live and have watched dozens of their live performances on YT. While I adore this one, I don't even consider it in their top 10 if that tells you anything.

I’ve seen U2 only twice, unfortunately. They are unbelievable. They put everything into their shows.

Best LIVE band EVER.

Can you do elevation live boston please by U2

Bonos dad died two days before this concert live at "slane castle"hence his long amazing burst at the end of all I want is you 🥺

Wonderful songs 🎼🎼🤗 Don't pay attention to the naysayers!!

This song is a great opener to an absolute classic album (25,000,000 sold and climbing), but the album version is muted, fitting the tone of its surroundings. This song was not fully realized until it was played live. The band typically make subtle (to a causal listener, very obvious to a fan) changes to their songs from tour to tour, usually to fit the album tone they are touring at the time, or the show vibe...this one was clunky early in the Joshua Tree tour, and moved around from middle to back to off the list to, finally, the show opener. By the shows filmed for the 1988 concert film Rattle & Hum, it was coming around. But in the break between the end of the Joshua Tree tour and the 2-off shows in Tempe (the $5 shows, so priced because there would be cameras blocking some views and they wanted to fill the stadium two nights so they could have versions to pick from, which really paid off...while they were huge, they were still an arena band, mostly, and selling out 65,000 seats for 2 straight nights was very unlikely at full price), they really dialed in the live versions. By this Slane Castle show, they had performed the Joshua Tree hits for 14 years, and really had a handle on them.

Ireland

Please, react to City Of Blinding Lights (studio version, NOT the music video). You will find it similar to Where The Streets Have No Name

Remind me: isn't this concert from the "live from Chicago dvd 2005?"

Do running to stand live zootv. Song about heroin addiction. And with or without you live from rattle and hum

Do yourself a favor, and watch the vevo version.

It’s funny you say Freddie Mercury because Queen & U2 stole the show at Live aid in the 80’s

Queen has NOTHING on U2. No offence.

The biggest band ever, fact! Best live I should say, nobody today could use the technology if it wasn't for u2 paying out of pocket to try it out, took a gamble and it worked, screes, led lights, b stage the lot, it certainly paid off, check where they are in world's ranking of rich list, nuf said.

They're from the Republic of Ireland, which is NOT the UK.
