The dude ran a full circle and still sung in key and control. Legend.

The transition between these two songs is one of the greatest moments in rock history.

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.

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.

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.

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?

People forget Bono buried his Father 24 hours before this show.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

Streets is the best live song ever . I get goosebumps when they played Miss Sarajevo in Milan .

At the end of 'All I Want is You' - nothing like 100,000 Irishmen singing the house down - spine tingling...

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.

Watch "Out of Control" from the same concert... best live version ever.

Yes, the 2002 Superbowl Halftime Show featuring U2 after 9/11 was one of the best...

‘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.

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

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!! ☘️☘️

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.

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 🥰❤️💕

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.

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

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!.

One of the greatest song transitions ever and you are talking over it.

Until the end of the world at that Slane gig is U2’s finest live performance. It’ll blow your socks off!🤪🤪🤪😁

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

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

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…..

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.

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 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gbN3iMSnlbSWmGw.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....

This was & still is one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to, just phenomenal.

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

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 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.

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!

I was in the crowd that day....one of the best days of my life so far

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.

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'!

U2 are on levels unattainable for everyone else.😎 Chapeau!!🤘 🤙

"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.

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.

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.

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🇮🇪🍀❤️

8:34 gets splashed by water 8:44 listen. He wants something else. Irish humour at its best. Never lost a beat😉😉😉

“All I want is Effin you man “ at the guy who threw something at him on the cat walk best part lol

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.

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

U2 live concerts are the best❤️❤️❤️

U2 was the most exhilerating concert I ever attended! They are pure Love and Light! 💖💖💖

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.

My favorite all time song of U2 is Unforgettable Fire.

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 👌

greeting from Dublin ireland -like youe videos and great to see you introduce younger people into U2 music - just to put you straight about Where the Streets Have no Name meaning etc - I am from Dublin Ireland and can understand how mixed up the meaning and message of song can be misunderstood - but Belfast in Northern Ireland does have street names - and the issue is that people are judged by the street (catholic streets like Falls Road etc ) and so people are labelled and get treated according to where they are from - and so Bono contrasted with places in Africa like ethopia that had no street names and so you dont label people from the street names where they live - and so he used the reference to say he wanted to get to a a time where people in Nothern ireland ( like catholics who couldnt get. jobs or were treated like 2nd class citizens ) would not be treated differently just depending on the street they are from - hence get to a place where the streets have no name !! Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom and all the streets have names and numbered street addresses - and are not nameless as you misunderstood. Keep up the good work ;-)

U2 must be the best live band to have ever existed

The sweetest thing is the song he's referring to

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

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.

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

Everyone should see a gig in Ireland at least once in their life.

Also got the chills!!!! the birthday song for his wife is The Sweetest Thing

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

I'm a huge U2 fan and have watched this version dozens of times! What a great choice!

As very emotional concert as he had just buried his dad

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!

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 there in Slane, the best experience of my life, it shaped my being and life as an Irishman

You guys still need to react to U2 "Zootv: Live in Sydney", best concert they ever did!

Need to watch and react to U2 at the Super Bowl right after 9/11 - Talk about CHILLS!~

Omgosh, thank you! So effing amazing!

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

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.

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qpdnp7Cnm7awm30.html

I have not missed a tour in thirty years. They speak a truth I cannot turn from.

Thanks for this great reaction, and including both those two songs and reminding me of such an epic concert (have it on DVD - and was lucky enough enough to see them live on their Vertigo tour at Hampden Park, Glasgow, in 2005. Great concert, but not a patch on Slane Castle - wish I'd been there!). The song you were thinking of where he's apologising in the video is "Sweetest Thing" - one to watch even if it's not a reaction. Keep it up, looking forward to the next ones.

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.

The "birthday" song, Bono wrote for Ali was Sweetest thing.

Hi .here from Argentina...😍✌

Oh it is so cool to find out other people love this version of All I Want is You at Slane Castle as much as me. I have literally played this song hundreds of times. It is really special and one of my "go-to" songs to demo my home theater for people. Also love Out of Control on this DVD. I get a thrill when the band comes out the spoken break on that song.

I Think the Superbowl-Halftime Performance of "Where the Street have no Name" was the best Version ever of this Song.

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.

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.

Love your U2 review's, so amazing to share with your daughter, 100% agree on how special this band is.

Also, Kite is breathtaking from this show.

Live at "Red Rocks - Under a Blood red sky"! Gloria, etc.. You know you have to! :)

Love your videos, I was at most of the concerts and nice to see you enjoy with your daughter

So glad you did this!

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!

Go see U2 and get a month's worth of cardio in one concert.

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

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!

You should do the 2002 Superbowl half time show with U2

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.

This is one of my all time favorite U2 videos. The fact that he lost his father just prior to this video is astounding!

Take a look at the 2002 Super Bowl Halftime show with U2. Epic. Beyond words.
