This is the U2 I fell in love with, when they were hungry, raw, revolutionary, and honest. Their first four albums will always resonate in my soul.

Gebre Menfes Kidus agree with you! I use to listen to October all the time, IMO one of their most intriguing and unique albums. How special is Tomorrow?

@@mickwallace9949 That's no way to talk to someone, learn some manners, and Gebre - you are right, they had something in those early days that no other band seemed to, perhaps a determination without compromising their style, that didn't last through their whole career unfortunately, its hard to imagine they produced crap like "No line on the horizon"

I was 18 and this was my first Rock Werchter, looked forward to it for months. My girlfriend would meet me at the festival. But when we met, she broke up with me. The girl I had a crush on since I was 15 , the future mother of my unborn children, just dumped me. I walked on the festival like a zombie, couldn't get why she did it and then this concert started. Wow, this was new, excited, full of energy, unseen, the future of rock music, it made me forget my sorrows en even to this day, I will mention it as the best gig I ever saw. And for the people who like happy endings. 3 years and a few failed relationships later, that girl finally realized that it would be a good idea to be the mother of our children. 34 years later, we still go each year to Rock Werchter and I ask her every time if she plans on breaking up with me, but so far, I have been lucky.

This is one of the most interesting comments I have ever seen on a KZfaq video. It's very cool of you to share such a personal memory, and that is just the 1st paragraph. When I clicked "Read More", I was pleasantly surprised by the happy ending. At 55 years old, I feel this kind of deep personal connection to live music has been lost in the "Tweets & Likes" culture in which we now live... so nice to know that there is still someone out there who can share a story that really connects their life to a concert so long ago. 34 years together. Wow, thank you for sharing such a wonderful story.

All the elements of perfect chemistry are already fully realized in this early band. Thanks for sharing. For those that have not yet gotten Surrender on Audible you are missing out. I have read or listened to probably 50 autobiographies of musicians and this is the best yet with its comprehensive content and format. Its like having an intimate sbd honest discussion with Bono along with music used to tell his story. What could be better? Well maybe the entire band but perhaps the others Will Follow.
