In this episode of Brad & Lex, the creator dubbed "super long intro" gains attention as it builds swift pace keeping kicks uplifted by rapid strums and light cascading strings that pleasantly yet triumphantly bring forth the passionate voice of U2,s Bono....Lex invisions the tune used for those "unwinding" nights out and its reality time, then produces an uplifting "bop" before Brad presents his "break up" theory.

@@maverick2242 Not really in terms of music creativity. Joshua Tree was just a natural evolution of what they started with Unforgettable Fire. If you wanna talk their peak of creativity it is undoubtedly the Achtung Baby era. Never before had a mainstream(arguably biggest band in the world) change their entire sound, image, presentation and in a sense message so drastically and so abruptly and actually gain popularity and not alienate their already massive fanbase. Achtung Baby, Zooropa and the Zoo TV tour was the absolute peak of their creativity.

The Joshua Tree, the album this song is on, is one of the true masterpieces of rock and roll/pop music. There's not a song on the album that is bad, and there are several songs that are phenomenal! My favorite wasn't released as a single, but "Red Hill Mining Town" is just a wonderful song! Speaking of "bad", though, I'd recommend to you U2's performance at Band Aid, when they did an absolutely amazing version of their song "Bad". It's bonkers crazy, and the band did a phenomenal job of reacting to the moment!

It's essentially U2s version of Lennon's "Imagine", being that it's about the hope that people wouldn't be bogged down by society over their stations and beliefs... something that was very near and dear to them with the conflicts in Northern Ireland especially during the band's rise to fame and as a recurring theme for much of their early career.

One of the greatest bands of all time. Most Grammy awards ever. The only band/artists with a number one album in FOUR different decades (80's, 90's, 00's, 10's) and each album has its own distinct style. Check out their Super Bowl halftime performance after 9/11 (very emotional) and their collaboration with the band Green Day (song is The Saints Are Coming) live at the reopening of the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina. ALWAYS do live versions if possible. They epic live. Exit, One Tree Hill, Running To Stand Still, All I Want Is You, MOFO, Please, All Because Of You, Dirty Day, With Of Without You (live Boston) and k you just reacted to Streets but All I Want Is You/Where The Streets Have No Name live at Slane Castle is sooooo good. Bono (lead singer) buried his father the day of the concert if I remember correctly and Slane Castle is in Ireland where they are from. All the emotions of the loss colide with the excitement of being back home so to speak, create a special performance.

The lyrics were inspired by a story that Bono heard about Belfast, Northern Ireland, where a person's religion and income were evident by the street on which they lived. He contrasted this with the anonymity he felt when visiting Ethiopia, saying: "the guy in the song recognizes this contrast and thinks about a world where there aren't such divisions, a place where the streets have no name." Bono wrote the lyrics while on a humanitarian visit to Ethiopia with his wife, Ali. The lyrics send a message of hope and a wish for a world that is not divided by class, wealth, race, or any other arbitrary criterion.

As someone who is 22, I obviously have heard OF U2 and have heard a few of their songs here and there, but it's honestly so cool hearing these songs from them when they were younger cuz Bono (the lead singer's) son is the lead singer of one of my favorite bands Inhaler and u can see how much his dad has influenced him. And not in a "i'm ripping off my famous dad's sound" but rather u can hear the hints of his dad in his voice and obviously he looks like him. So coming back to these U2 songs is so cool just to hear the similarities between father and son.

I saw U2 right at the launch of the Joshua Tree tour at the Cow Palace in SF, in 86 ( I think ) When they opened with “Where the streets….” the entire audience just leaped up on Larry’s downbeat…that moment is burned into my memory. The most incredible moment in all of my 40 years of live rock concerts. Listening to this song never gets old…never. Sacred music….

When we were 19 years old my best friend from childhood and I tore around San Francisco in his next door neighbor's 9/11 turbo that he told us to take out and have a good time in. That friend since passed away. This song will always take me back to catching air off the Hills in San Francisco

I loved Lex's comments at the end about the artist taking their time to paint each stroke. The Magic about this song in particular and a lot of U2 songs is that the live version is better and brings a whole other experience to the song.

This is one song that is better on album IMO. MOST of their songs are better live, but that carefully choreographed intro and outro on the album leave me smiling like an idiot every time I listen to the song, even 35 years later. Like this song, "Please" and maybe "Bad" are better as they were recorded in the studio, IMO. "One", "Bullet the Blue Sky" and a lot of others really are MUCH better live though.

Might be one of the best songs of the 20th Century. Just iconic. Their concert in Boston from 2001 might be the greatest rock concert ever.

This is the opening song from _The Joshua Tree_ album (1987), which was inspired by U2's simultaneous fascination with what they call the "mythical America" (where anything is possible) and their observations as Irish visitors on the "real America" (which they believe fell far short of the mythical place everyone in the rest of the world believed the USA to be). They had achieved some commercial success with earlier albums here in the United States, and this album captured a lot of their feelings, observations, and emotions regarding this country. This song was one of several on the album that have a very reflective and pensive tone. Very interestingly, even though the band has often said the USA inspired this album, several of the songs deal with topics outside the USA, such as political kidnappings or "disappearings" in Central and South America and political oppression in South Africa.

I saw them in concert in Miami in 1998 (I think). What a show... Unforgettable. At the then Joe Robby stadium.

Hey guys. Great reaction. I saw U2 3 or 4 times. The lead singer (Bono) has an enormous personality. Incredible front man. I encourage you to check out some of their live videos.

Loved the way Lex describes it ... I hope you guys have a chance to watch their live performance of "All I want is you / Where the streets have no name" at Slane Castle. Probably the best transition between two songs to have ever been heard here on earth. Bono's voice on the 5th minute, before the start of "Where the Streets have no name" is so moving ; it almost sounds like he is crying. His dad had died 2 days before this Live from Slane Castle concert.

Old school stuff, we knew it by sharing cassettes and MTV videos. Was how we learned music back then. MTV was a heavy filter for our music. We learned these bands by video. Different introduction to music then. A different generation. I was born in 74. Young man with cable just starting. We had different information veins

For those who don't know, and this may have been stated before. But the song Where The Streets Have No Name was written because the Lead Singer went on a mission trip to one of the third world countries. It was when he saw the famine, children roaming around streets that were just dirt and had no name, where they had no food, or water. It had sparked something in him and when he got home from his trip, he wrote the song and it was named what it is.

It’s really a song of hope. This is one best viewed live. The live version of this is really so energetic. Two versions worth watching are their super bowl halftime version right after 911 or their Slaine Castle version that is coupled with all I want is you. I would recommend either. They are an amazing live band

Think Live Aid in the 80's. Bono went there and was moved by the struggles they had the drought lack of food and help. That's where the lyrics come from. I've been a U2 Fan for over 40 years. I have seen them live 12 times. Thanks for the video.

As an irishman who grew up with this band and experiencing them in concert many times I'm very happy to see the younger generation discover their music. The only thing I would say is you miss a bit of the energy and magic by not seeing the official video. I have felt things at a U2 concert that ive never felt at other music venues. Quite simply the best live band and Ive seen many.
