Worked security for this show at Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium back in the day. Bono had that same sling on his arm, Pgh was maybe a few tour dates after this video was taken in Sept. '87. Couldn't afford a ticket, so found a job working security. Arrived early in the afternoon and got my tshirt and security lanyard before others started showing up. U2 was doing their sound check so walked into the arena that was still empty, just U2 on stage jammin'. I walked up to about 40 rows back, and got a center stage seat. Can still remember the moment like it was yesterday. I was the only one seated on the arena floor taking in the sound check show. Felt like a private concert by U2 for me. Joshua Tree was an amazing show. U2 played Still Haven't Found last song, last encore. The entire Three Rivers arena was singing this song's chorus for at least 30 minutes after the band left the stage. Nobody wanted to leave the arena. It was like a religious experience, that's all I can say. If you were there, then you know.😍
I agree with other commenters ... THE BEST VERSION ever of this amazing song...Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum were my first two "cassette tapes" ... 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻 Goosebumps everytime 👍
I arrived in America on September of ‘87 and this was the very first song I heard from U2. Rattle and Hum was the first cassette tape I bought…and this is the best rendition of a song I’ve ever heard 🤟🏼
A sign of a good song is that it can be done in a different style and still be a good song. I love how the band just step back and enjoy the choir as much as we do.
This was MSG in Sept I was front row center.. for both shows 28th and 29th :) This was the ONLY time the choir ever sang this ing live with U2 at a full concert. They actually played the song 2 times this night once alone and once with choir... most in the audience had no idea what the extra riser was for many thought Bruce Springsteen was going to join U2 that night but insiders knew all along the choir was coming as most of us that went to soundcheck that day knew ....
Thanks god he didn’t. Wow! Imagine him ruining this!? Instead of ignoring his existence , I would actually have to put forth some energy in my dislike. That would make him relevant to me. Dodged one there. 😅
Found this absolute gorgeous version on a cassete tape, my dad recorded back in the days. It brought damn tears to my eyes listening to it in my oldtimer for the frist time.
I love this so so much..!! I love all the words, 'all the words.. ....I have climbed the highest mountains, I have run through the feilds, only to be with you, only to be with you, I Believe in Kingdom Come, where all the colors bleed into one, into one, one, one, I Love You Bono, I love U2
The circle completes. U2's gospel-based song now sung on stage with New Voices of Freedom gospel choir, bringing it back to its roots in a glorious concert.
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
I love this version of the song. It was in my head the last couple days and I knew I had to check YT because I just HAD to hear it. It was food for my soul. I really needed this. I listened to it and tears just streamed down my face (but in a good way). Plus, I love how the choir was just so into the song. God bless U2!
The greatest soulful collaboration I'd ever heard (35 years ago now) ... and now been able to witness. Thank you! [Just finished listening to Bono's recent insightful & moving autobiography "Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story" and can't recommend it enough (even though I disagree with much of his politics and have always been put off by his Messiah Complex; to his credit, he recognizes & acknowledges some of these shortcomings, like the mere sincere searching mortal poetic genius that he is.]
It had to be September 87. Bono hurt his arm in DC. I was there and saw him fall when he slipped on a wet stage. It had been raining on and off during the concert. I suspect it was the Madison Square Garden concert about eight days after DC.
It prooves that's there is a God when we hear a version like this, singing with suche passion! Thx for that. God bless you all, who ever you are and wherever you live.
Mucho tiempo busqué esta versión, tenía un cassette (un cassette!) cuando pequeña y amaba escucharla. Luego le perdí el rastro y ahora me levanto con la firme decisión de encontrarla en youtube y.. voilà! ¡qué felicidad! Va para mis favoritos!!! gracias por subirla :D
Também busquei por muitos anos. Essa versão é simplesmente sensacional! E que delicadeza do Bono deixá-los cantar sozinhos sem acompanhamento. Ficou maravilhoso! A melhor versão! Gosto muito!
When you bring a choir and then you suddenly realize you let the force of faith empowerment in as well and you just sit in awe and let let it shine in its unstoppable glory...
" He will lift you higher and higher , He will pick you up when you fall , He'll be the shelter from the storm." Clearly about the Messiah The Holy Ghost. ( But who agrees with me.?) What more.? Saint Michael. PSALM 2. Verse 12. " Blessed are all who take refuge in him.".
これ観てました。アンコールの最後に彼らがステージに登りこの曲か始まりました。とても素敵な時間でした。 I was watching this. At the end of the encore they got on the stage and this song started. It was a very nice time.
" Blessed are all who take refuge in him". Psalm 2. 🤴💜. " He will lift you higher and higher. He will pick you up when you fall. He'll be the shelter from the storm.". The Reign of the Holy Spirit over the earth.
the best is the video of them visiting the church in Harlem - where they got the idea to add a chior ... find that video and get out the tissues - you'll need 'em.
@@shiftfocus1 Pardon? It sits in both of my cars. My friend bought it at xmas time in Abertawe when I took him there xmas shopping for his girlfriend. He bought it on cassette and we played it in my car on the way home. Get your dates right if you want to pick an argument. 34 years ago is 1990, this was 1988 - in'88 I was driving a Fiat 126, in 1990 I was driving a MG Metro, Toyota Tercel and a Vauxhall Viva estate. I fitted all of them to play this properly (cost me sh1tloads to do, all Alpine head units, speakers depended on car). Before you question me, get your facts correct, even allowing for time differentials in my reply butt.
The segment from the film was excellent but I always wondered why the concert version from the album wasn't in the movie. Now I know. The footage, while a valuable as a historic document, is terrible. Get a camera on those soloists. They're amazing. Also, if you listen to the anniversary version of the album it contains this performance but Bono's vocals are different. This video has the audio from Rattle and Hum but the anniversary audio seems to contain Bono's actual live vocals from that night. You can see it here at 2:20 as Bono comes in early on the line 'I believe... (in the Kingdom Come)'. That line is completely audible on the anniversary track. Interesting stuff if you're a fan.
Bonos' voice here is crystal clear. Best vocal performance. Like Daniel Lanois said : in later years he's overly reliant on the "false settle" Why this didn't make it into Rattle and Hum I have no idea.
@@ludwigjungslatt4947 hi, nope, he defo says "False settle" meaning that he no longer pushes his voice the way he used too back in the 80's. It's in the joshua tree documentary vh1. :)
@@Stratman389 Well, I believe we’re talking about the same thing but he undoubtedly said falsetto. I’ve seen the documentary and read the biography “U2 by U2” where they talk about bono having a hard time trying to sing in falsetto since he’s not a trained singer. If you look at every rock singer who pushes their voice every night you can see a pattern that they damage their voice in the long run. After bono messed up his voice from singing “God Part II” a lot of nights he stop pushing it that way. you can tell he learned using the falsetto instead since it’s used a lot on Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop
The most special of all U2 songs, the best rendition of it with this amazing choir, making it the most uplifting song ever produced!!!

Best version of this song ever ever ever!
The best version by far
Agreed
Absolutely ! Brilliant
Bellissima la mia preferita
I love how Bono steps aside, and is like go ahead guys. You fucking rule.
Like Robert Plant steps back when he’s not singing to give the ones playing there due. Always admired that.
I agree with other commenters ... THE BEST VERSION ever of this amazing song...Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum were my first two "cassette tapes" ... 🇨🇦❤️🙏🏻
Goosebumps everytime 👍
Goosebumps for SURE !!!
Yah! the best version.
I arrived in America on September of ‘87 and this was the very first song I heard from U2. Rattle and Hum was the first cassette tape I bought…and this is the best rendition of a song I’ve ever heard 🤟🏼
At the 4:50 mark, Edge and Adam take their instruments off, in total respect and admiration for what the choir is doing.
Magnificent! "The Choir, The Choir, The Choir!" THEY SANG THIS SONG!!
A sign of a good song is that it can be done in a different style and still be a good song.
I love how the band just step back and enjoy the choir as much as we do.
This choir is EVERYTHING
I’ve loved this song for Decades 😎
Serious GOSPEL. That women is out of this world
THE BEST VERSION EVERRRRR RECORDED and I've been listening since age 12.... MY VERY FIRST TAPE!! The Joshua Tree and then Rattle and Hum... beautiful
I love how the band eventually stopped playing and just let the choir take over. 🙌🙌🙌
This was MSG in Sept I was front row center.. for both shows 28th and 29th :) This was the ONLY time the choir ever sang this ing live with U2 at a full concert.

I have the sling that Bono's arm was in that day
this will lift your spirits
Michael Del Tufo so jealous!! I never saw them live until University- a decade later ... 😊
@@deadringerjunior5705 Yep, sure mate mate, uh huh
Thanks god he didn’t. Wow! Imagine him ruining this!? Instead of ignoring his existence , I would actually have to put forth some energy in my dislike. That would make him relevant to me. Dodged one there. 😅
Not much I can say about U2 that hasn't already been said, but that choir definitely took me to church.
Favorite version of this song! Powerful!
La mejor versión sin duda, siempre me saca una lagrima
Found this absolute gorgeous version on a cassete tape, my dad recorded back in the days. It brought damn tears to my eyes listening to it in my oldtimer for the frist time.

Beyond incredible!!!
I love this so so much..!! I love all the words, 'all the words..

You broke the bonds, loosed the chains, carried the cross and all my shame! Sing it man!
Best Version ever.. in a million lifetimes❤❤❤
Love this song.. I remember when I first heard it... October ‘87
I am crying in joy
Now, I have found what I was looking for. I loved to see the video of this amazing performance!! AMAZING!!
Awesome song, thanks much for spreading the word

I believe in the Kingdom come, where all the colors will bleed into one. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Did he come? He'd better hurry up. The world is a mess.
The greatest soulful collaboration I'd ever heard (35 years ago now) ... and now been able to witness. Thank you!

The bass of Adam Clayton is terrific, powerful, intense, dense, refflection of the choir.
Love it !
My goodness! Stop cutting onions! Beautiful version. Whew! 🖤❤️💜💯👍🏾🙌🏾
I came here from a comment on the recent version they made at Jimmy Kimmel's. Wow my heart just burst out of my chest! Amazing!
Jimmy Kimmel's live show was good, but all the voices weren't there like they are here.
Sin duda una de las mejores canciones de u2
It had to be September 87. Bono hurt his arm in DC. I was there and saw him fall when he slipped on a wet stage. It had been raining on and off during the concert. I suspect it was the Madison Square Garden concert about eight days after DC.
Chills..... Awesome!!
Luminous times ❤
Bono's voice is clear as a bell here.
Audio on rattle and hum!!! What a version...bass is very good. Praise God!
Imagine going to a U2 concert...and finding yourself taken to CHURCH! Amazing.
An amazing song made EVEN greater by the wonderful choir.
One of the best finds on RUclips ever
This is such an amazing song
Just beautiful 😊
AMAZING... TIMELESS... INSPIRING... Thank You
Amazing..!!
Oh Lord Jesus,
A spirit-filled super song by Bono, U2 and the choir. ❤
The only live version song that’d make me cry, that and All I Want Is You.
It prooves that's there is a God when we hear a version like this, singing with suche passion! Thx for that. God bless you all, who ever you are and wherever you live.
I found my uplifting track for 2017
MSG. I was at this show.
Sitting on the side of.stage. near the top
This is Another Level To any Musician
Best Band Ever
I need a whole u2 album in gospel version

Simplesmente maravilhoso
at 2:17 positively great as the band start up and accompany the choir. Goose pimples on my neck even after all these years hearing this.
Hasta Las Lágrimas...!!!!!!
Isso é uma raridade ,,, uma pérola!! Salvei ;)
Im not even religious and this is the best thing ive ever heard
When you bring a choir and then you suddenly realize you let the force of faith empowerment in as well and you just sit in awe and let let it shine in its unstoppable glory...

I have this CD from NYC. Madison's square garden.
I have loved U2 my entire life and have always been amazed to still I find 💎💎💎 like this.
Also, what happened to Bono’s arm?
Spirit led....
You broke the crown of thorns suffered.
one of U2 best.
AMAZING
great great great

Shame that it was never released on digital media. Shame on U2. Best version EVER. Stands up VERY tall 34 years later.
Shame you've not listened to Rattle and Hum, released 34 years ago.

New York, MSG, 28/9/1987 (Rattle and Hum Outtakes).
Watching this video and comments - I think I have found what I was looking for
Maybe since Bono’s Arm wasn’t doing well, he put all his emphasis on singing so well!
Wow
この映像が見たかったー！
The woman sounds like aretha franklin❤️👍👌🏻🇮🇪
great !
You Should put more tags, it's hard to find your vid !

I'm not sure why, but every time I hear this version it reminds me of Jonestown.
Thanks for posting this video what I've been looking for. Maybe this was 1987 or 8 X'mas?
