To see Greg Carroll whipping around the stage keeping Bono's mic untangled, and 19 days later, he dies from a motorcycle accident...his life cut short, but thru U2 he will be alive forever...

Fans at this point in 1986 had no idea the thunderstorm of Awesome music that was headed towards them in 1987 with the Joshua Tree!

The Unforgettable Fire. A perfect album at the perfect time. 30 years later, still remains my favorite. I've seen U2 several times, but I was too young to see them at this period. Which is a shame, I'd have given a lot to see them when they were a band like this.

U2and The Police performing together might be one of the coolest things in music history

i remember being 13 years old, basically lived right down the block from Giants Stadium . Listen to U2 every day, over and over ..I was obsessed with Under a Blood Red Sky and then UF blew my mind. My parents wouldn't let me go, for whatever reason, cant even remember who was going to take me. I was in shock U2 was even in NJ, devastated i couldn't be there, but loving this music all in the same moment as i was listening live. What a crowd

What a hair style...pure 80s.. love it... Voice... Best banda, from The Best times

Goosebumps watching this , the best live rock band in history.

I haven't seen this since the day it happened...😮 1986 !!! ❤ things are alot different now 😮🎉

Now that's the Bono I remember. ❤️❤️❤️Not yet touched by Globalist Elites who wanted his soul, Steadfast, strong in his faith, and convictions, I miss the 80s, such a kinder, beautiful world then. But my love for this Man will be forever 💕💕

i love this concert for many reasons. Ive been a MASSIVE U2 fan since 85 growing up in a suburb of Toronto. I was on the verge of 16 when this concert happened. it was such an event i remember the build up i was psyched. I researched the TV channels and radio stations ahead of time so i wouldnt miss one minute and especially U2. i recorded the radio station CFNY 1021.1 feed on my stereo that had a tape deck in it haha! and now i am 49 and i live in North NJ area and have been to Giants Stadium ( Ive been here 23 years it'll always be giants stadium lol) many times for shows and games etc. this show has deepeer meaning to me now especially 'that it was where I now reside. LOVE THAT THIS IS ON KZfaq and SPOTIFY etc so its everywhere to listen to anytime i want. The tape cassette recording collects dust ha . Thanks for posting the full set!

Great concert! These were great moments in music. U2 could always bring a stadium alive.

This was right before the entire US was swept up in U2 mania - with the 'Joshua Tree' 9 months off - at the 2:43 point - THAT is where this band became the sole savage contenders for the world title - and everyone there and those watching absolutely knew it.

I was at this concert with my high school sweetheart at the time. We had floor tickets. An unbearably hot day, but what a great concert experience. I remember when they turned on the firehoses to cool down the crowds during the day. This was the concert when the Police got back together, but I always thought U2 and Bryan Adams stole the show that evening.

What a perfect day…one I will never forget…16 years old with my 2 best friends…was bummed the Pete Townshend couldn’t make it…but what an epic show…It was Peter Gabriel, U2 and the surprise Police reunion….there were many other legends too…Bryan Adam’s, Santana…Jackson Brown it was a perfect NY summer day and night…I threw a glow in the dark frisbee at one point and could see it on tv when I watched the recording that my cousins surprised me with…I may even have the VHS tape somewhere still in a box…..

simply words..best band ever in world..u2 can make it work,love this boys ever,,u2 u2 my life..paul from Portugal

Epic. Amazing. Best band ever.

The whole concert was also broadcast live on one of the radio stations that day. I watched the whole concert while listening to it in blasting stereo surround sound. It was one hell of an emotional day. I felt like I was right there watching the concert from the crowd in front of the stage. I was crying through U2's performance along with Peter Gabriels.

Un carisma ineguagliabile , una passione che trabocca dall’anima.. vi amo U❤️2 !!!

I was 21 sitting in the 100 section Giants Stadium 🏟 and had shivers up & down my spine when Bono looked in our direction during the Unbelievable Performance of “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”...singing “Have ya had ENOUGH of Beirut, Belfast, Nicaragua!!????”..”NO MORE..WIPE YOUR TEARS 😭 AWAY” A Day one ☝️ Never Forgets..EVER!!! ☮️🙏

I have been there , incredible show : U2 , reactivation of The Police , Brian Adams , Peter Gabriel , The Hooters , Miles Davies and Others.....🥰🥍🏏🎷🪗🎻🎺🪕🎸 12 hours of music for 40 bucks per person🎸Not bad...

Saw this show at the Oakland Coliseum and it was the greatest show EVER! Peter Gabriel blew my fricking mind. U2 was already my favorite band of all time since Boy. They were at the height of their powers. Before them, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, it was insane! What parties they must have had!

The night before, the whole band walked through the lobby of the Westin Hotel there in Chicago where they had put all the bands performing at the show. When my brother and I asked the band for their autographs Bono sat us down in a couch bay there in the lobby and spent the next 5 minutes explaining Amnesty International’s mission to us. These guys walked their philanthropic talk.

I was at that show with my brother...and 50,000 other people. I was 16. He was 19. My mother drove us up from Maryland to go. We stayed at some seedy hotel not far from the stadium. It was in ear shot of the all the sound checks the morning of the show. I remember that to get tickets to the show we had to send money to some concert address. From there it was a random chance whether they would send tickets or send the money back. I got two floor tickets. My friend who sent his letter with me, he got his money back. Going into the show it was a mob scene. There were so many people! Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. My bro got separated from me pretty early on. During the first act, The Hooters, he and a cute girl became fascinated with each other. I worked my way towards the stage. The closer to the front the more it felt like a sardine. It took a while but I got right up front and center (actually a few feet left of dead center, and about 2 feet behind the front barricade). I can see my arm in some of this video, and in the Police set because I kept swinging my shirt around. I did it on purpose because my friends' were taping it at home. At the beginning of Invisible Sun (The Police) You can also here this loud mouth dude that was right next to me. Then I began singing the song before Sting started, and you can hear that too. I got a real kick out of hearing that when I first watched my friends' VHS tape. The day was really hot and sunny. There was no water, and no way to get it. Being packed together made it almost unbearably toasty. By the time Peter Gabriel came on I felt like I was in a dream, from thirst. It is a wonder that no one died. Occasionally they sprayed hoses on us, but the relief was fleeting. At some point during Peter Gabriel somebody in the Ground crew threw a bunch of ice into the crowd by me. I grabbed a huge chunk, and guarded it like gold....After consuming the whole thing, it brought me back from my dreamy heat exhaustion. Sunset also improved the situation. It was an epic day. U2 was awesome, but I was most stoked for the Police. I had never seen them before. They had not played together for years , but it did not show. They were tight. They had the place shaking…… No one knew if they would ever play again…..and as it turned out, they didn’t for almost 20 years. And their were so many classic acts that day. Some that were appreciate even more deeply in the years that followed (Fela, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell to name a few).

GThis brings back memories!! Watched this concert at the age of 17 back in 1986. Loved hearing the version of Sunday Bloody Sunday and Bono's soaring vocals at the end of Pride again. Thanks for posting, good start to a long day ahead

I was there! One of those waving hands in the middle!

He knew how to connect with his audience, you didn't have to be there to feel it, his eyes, it's in his eyes 💕I sure do love that foot stomping he does too😍😍

Even then, Bono was in love with his own awesomeness.

A few days before U2 left home to fly to the States to start this tour, The Edge realised he had forgotten all of the early songs. A U2 staffer went out and bought cassettes of the first three albums - he knew everything from the fourth album The Unforgettable Fire . On the plane over The Edge sat there with his guitar, and with a large battery operated cassette player, learning the songs.

Worth watching just to hear Bono say NEE-KAH-RAH-GUA!

Yes and I was soooooo there !! Such energy Karma, purpose and integrity.

I was lucky enough to be there. Day after my high school graduation. Insane!

This was before he became a spokesman for the industrial military complex.

Wow, I'd forgotten this concert until now. So happy to find it again.

everyone at work/the record store talked about this performance the next day.

The period from 1983-1986 was the best U2 period. The War album and tour, Under A Blood Red Sky, The Unforgettable Fire album and tour, Live Aid, Bono's part in Clannad's song In A Lifetime, Self Aid, Conspiracy of Hope concerts... they were on fire those days. They were on a mission and everyone saw it coming. For sure the Joshua Tree album finally took them to the top and their 90s experimental stuff was exciting too but here they still had that "Lets conquer the world" vibe. Last 20 years it has been a downhill ride, but the great 80s memories are still intact.

Love the long hair...

At that time here in Mexico, we couldn't get access to those concerts. Maybe that's the reason why we live it so intense since the 90's...well, we hope it can be for a long time...

This was U2 ,till the 360 tour..

Imagine if they had time to play this set at Live Aid!

Adam Clayton's Moog Taurus I bass pedal set is visible in the overhead shot- it was Sting who made him aware of the massive Taurus bass sound- think I can hear him triggering it on Pride!

The Edge, master of the digital delay

Amazing, U2 The best band EVER

I was at the Atlanta show..I believe just a few days before this. Also performing were The Police(reunited), Tears For Fears, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed..and (I think) The Neville Brothers maybe others. U2 was incredible.

Bono at its vocal peak, adam clayton playin with moogs, edge and larry perfectly on time (larry playing with click).... best U2 era along with boy and boy tour

To : michaelpatrickmoron, Thank you for showing this video & I hope you have more for us to watch, It brought back memories and I too turned up the volume my stereo speakers and I too have sorround speakers! I have a Sony TV and its huge and I have one in my family room w/woofer speakers and another one on the patio, I played a 6:00 pm show until 11:00 pm? Nobody complained about the noise because they where all at my house and I have a huge backyard and I must of had at least 30 people and they all brought food to share with everyone & I ordered 50 pepperoni pizzas and 50 cheese pizzas? I do this every year and I watched everyone having a good time on my patio steps, Last year I showed a Sir Paul McCartney concert at 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm concert! Everyone enjoyed the show on my Sony TV and the surround sound speakers really did the trick and the cops came to my house and saw a whole lot of people in my back yard and they couldn't do anything about it because everyone in my neighborhood was there and whose gonna complain about the noise and the neighbors said goodbye as the 10 cops left in their squad cars? Plus I had a license that I got from the court house, so I could do this and the cops couldn't do anything about this and the neighborhood loved every minute of it? On the forth of July, I showed the Amnesty International Concert at 1:00 pm until 11:00 pm and everyone loved U2 as I sat on my patio steps and looking at all the people that where there and they all sang along with BONO, I couldn't believe my eyes of what I heard next? It was hard not to laugh of what I was hearing, Everyone was singing along to every U2 song and it was priceless to watch all my friends and family and of course the whole freaking neighborhood having a great time! I don't care what race you are, they where all their having a good time and if there having a good time, then I'm having a good time? ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

AWESOME 4..😎🎸🎸😀

Boys from Dublin are really! The most beloved rock band on mother Earth

GREAT THEN GREAT NOW & FOREVER..😎🎸🎸😀

Is that Greg Carroll taking Bonos jacket on Maggie Farm....He tragically died soon after this gig

1:25 hand signal to the monitor tech controlling the speakers on the floor in front of Bono, "turn up The Edge and turn up Me"

Sorry for not replying earlier, glad you enjoyed it.

This was a warm up act to becoming the hottest band in the rock and roll. By this time, they had the audience feeding from their hand.

I remember listening to this concert the last day of my Senior Week in Wildwood NJ. We were just waiting to go home. Looking back this concert symbolized the end of high school for me and the band I grew up with. Live Aid and Amnesty turned this underground band into giants. Suddenly everybody had the Under a Blood Red Sky cassette and the rest is history. Bono turned his mullet in for Morrisonesque and transcended the 80's with Joshua Tree just a few months away. You can hear Joshua Tree in Cold Turkey. I still like U2 but this is the U2 I loved.

It’s crazy to think how great the

Pride would have been awesome at Live Aid.

Ha 39 anos quando conheci U2 vi que os piá eram bons ,me apaixonei ,hj são o amor da minha vida e não consigo viver sem vcs . vivo respiro levo U2 para onde eu for ,amor verdadeiro!!!

I was there ❤❤❤

@FeliciaSmith I see what you are referring to with Rueben Blades but I don't know what was behind it or if Bono was upset I never heard about it before.

great!

Embarrassed to say I just turned 63 and just recently became a U2 and Led Zeppelin/Robert Plant fans even though I worked in the music industry in the US from 1977-1989. I was into Elton, Springsteen, The Who and many others BUT I must have missed seeing any picture of Plant in the early 70’s and watching Bono’s passion for performing anywhere. So I gotta play catchup. I absolutely adore Bono’s fits of emotions, while singing, little jumps, the tossing over a monitor or mic pole and I saw none of that in about 8 videos from a show last week in Vegas. Can you help? #1 are there any closer videos of him on this Amnesty show? #2 recommendations appreciated for earlier concert footage I can find would be greatly appreciated. I want to see MORE of this young Bono!!

Maggie’s Farm !!

The Troubles

I love u2 mantaaaaaaapp bono's

Echt super. !!!

I shat my pants while watching this

Police fantastique Stewart Copeland best

I was there. Had to sit through Yoko Ono's train wreck of a set earlier to get to this point.

it wasn't that long of a set but didn't have to be to for u2 to rock about fifty thousand people that tells you how great they are.

❤

U2 e único.

Has the mister as in "Turn out the lights, Mister!" ever been identified? He was also chastised in the live version of Bullet the Blue Sky; "the god I believe in isn't short of cash, Mister!"

I cant' find Peter Gabriel's full set performance in this presentation. Can anyone post it?

8:18 👌

I was at this show. With the girl who would one day become my wife.

🎵

At the height of their powers...

Eddie Vedder look-a-like from Bono

🏆🏅🥇🥈🥉🎖

🌧🌦

This is why War will always be their best album. Long live the _real_ Bonon, instead of the douchebag we have now.

20:53 Help

Bono's tanked !

C'mon guys! Do this one more time; call it "Rock against Russia." Peter Gabriel, Dee Snyder, U2, Tears for Fears, Bob Dylan and get the SMITHS to reunite one last time! Do it for Ukraine!!

I'll be honest, I would have hated to watch U2 perform so many covers wen you consider the cannon it has of its own - even at this early stage in their career.

Was Bono feeling no pain?

It's a pity that they won't do the same for Palestine. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
