Absolutely loved those first 4 albums. The music of my teenage years.
Bono knew exactly what he was doing right from the start , after losing his mum he channelled his higher self and wrote some brilliant lyrics on the first album that really touch the soul...
Still say that to this day. His mum's death was the catalyst that made him a superstar. He's carried it with him all these years.
@@SilverLine269 Hi Sarah, given your health condition as you mentioned on your 'About', what are your dietary practices, what do you, what do you not eat,… of the typical array of foods and drinks? I find diet is key to body integrity. Why am I asking,… body integrity is a major interest of mine,… and the controllable fundamental factors which have substantial effect on results,… but which are typically not realized,… including by 'health professionals'.
@@bonsummers2657 I'm trying to eat a low carb diet but I'm not exactly rich and good quality food costs so much. But I do agree with what you're saying. Thank you.
Very well said and written! If your ID means you were born in 70 we are the same age and saw U2 develop. Love to You!
My hero
Raw power. When U2 were an innovative amazing rock band.
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
i'm not sure exactly what you mean by 'the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive"...i suppose that could be the case....randomly showing up at the box office and being able to buy tickets for great seats. the key word is randomly...did u2 somehow leak this type of information to a select few, or was it just chance? in your case it didn't really matter. you got to see the show. i will tell from my experience, i was completely bummed by both the shows at Hampton, VA December 10-11 1987 Hampton selling out very quickly, less than an hour, and basically gave up. but very unexpectedly, and i suppose you could say by chance, i received notification from Propaganda, the U2 fan club/magazine, that since i was a member, they reserved two tickets for me, 7th row center. and the rest is history.
The sound of my youth.
Greatest band ever.
the drummer was on fire this night here
So true! His playing is perfectly in time and the tones are beautiful.
love getting back on this time machine to a purer, raw, authentic version of my fav Irish lads!
Fico pensando,o que séria de mim se eu não tivesse conhecido U2. Meu jeito de viver e ver a vida foi esses caras que mim moldaram.
This is rock, four genius
That takes me right back to my childhood - U2 were destined for greatness - Their raw talent was absolutely brilliant.
Without Edge’s guitar, there is NO U2.
God bless that man!
He's definitely the genius of the lot. And they all know it, which is good.
Spot on!
No U2 without any of them. A true Band of genius!😊
yes genius edge for group
I was a 21 year old undergraduate when my local community college radio station played Boy in it’s entirety. I played guitar back then and when they started to play it I thought to myself “they got it they’ve got the sound I’ve seeking on the guitar” this was when “hip” people were onto the emerging keyboard sounds of bands like Gary Newman and the Tubeway Army and Ulravox. Edge had succeeded in emulating the repetitive sound of the keyboards in the recordings that we were getting such pleasure from the underground new wave and we were extremely exclusive about our love of this kind of music coming out of Europe. This concert brings me back to that night when the radio DJ came on the radio and said “this is a new band from Ireland we’re going to play their new record Boy, all of the tracks. I grew up with progressive rock radio. Georgetown University was playing artists on it’s station WGTB with were highly progressive as was WHFS. I thought to myself that night I don’t know who played guitar for U2 but he’d found the sound that same sound that these other bands were doing on the keyboard. I was taken with Boy that night. I knew immediately that this was a band that was going places and quickly. 😅

U2 on the road to greatness
Naw. They were already great. Just after about '83 they got more and more crap.
@@richiehoyt8487tf is you talking about bro💀💀
@@merijnb1148 OK, maybe I'm being _a little_ hard on them. Unquestionably, they've produced good work throughout their career. Up to, and including 'War', though, they were a great, tight, exciting New Wave band. After that, any impartial and discerning listener of taste (ie, _Me!_ ) would have to support the case that, in particular, Bono's escalating 'Gobsh¡†ery' (a term he'd be familiar with from his homeland) and Edge's phoning in of the 'Chokka Chokkas' had the result that, _overall,_ the standard of the work declined.
Individual opinions may vary...
They sounded amazing even way back in the beginning!
I remember that TV show. I saw them in Brussels some weeks later.
Very approachable at the time.
Thanx so much, Ste Walker !
I saw U2 in Glasgow not long before in January 1981.
This is such a gem of a concert!!! Thank you so much for posting this. Super important archival footage.
My God, think of all the awesome music left to create in that head of Bono's.
amazing bass line!
Bono said recently that they were playing clubs like stadiums. This shows that. Amazing band for the whole world! I saw The Unforgettable Fire show in Atlanta, Ga USA in the Omni (in 1985 at 15yo I think). "40" being sung by the crowd the whole train ride home changed my life!
Great story! Same at DAR Constitution Hall car park
I enjoyed this so very very much !
Awesome, Everything I Loved about U2 and Still do
amazing.
A melhor banda de todos os tempos!!
sitting during this concert... :-o impossible!
You can tell by the audience that this was before U2 hit there. The Edge is like having Chopin on guitar.
This is great. My favorite live U2 vid, by far.
Thanks for uploading
So glad I came across this.
hermoso recuerdo
Siempre fantásticos.verdaderos profesionales ❤❤
Bono so cute
Rarely seen stuff. Great thanks
Awesome
bono wow il était vraiment jeunes 40 ans plus toujours ensemble
Best ever!
Quando eu era adolescente, não tinha acesso a esses vídeos! Só alguns shows em VHS poucos
Excelente!
bono munching on an apple... Awesome! hahah
Yeah that was funny, he even laughed.
Anglo-Gaelic children's story book rock,…. it's great for what it is.
Em 1982 eu tinha 11 anos de idade, U2 e melhor banda de rock
😁 awesome ✨
...from Brazi
Bono sang "Send in the Crowd" during Electric Co . pretty funny.
Send In The Clowns! ;-)
Eating an apple, so rock n roll!
I know! Such non-caring about what people think, yet so on it when he responds to the stupid question of "What is this Irish Thing?" He could have been offended but he just talked about originality since they were playing with all other bands at the show which were British.
The.best.band.the.rock.n.roll.the.world.
Muy buenos
Sucesso já parecia ser certo!
Nice to hear the bass drum if u are learning to play u2 on the drums
They put Bono in a cage without food in between shows.
🤣
U2 simple mind los mejores
Adam getting funky...??!! 13.40sec
Things to Make and Do
Bono just having a apple. 🍎
What a crowd 😂
sound great...whats up with the crowd?
2023
was that crowd dead?
No... just mesmerised
I think this was a professionally recorded and filmed event with direct feeds from the mixing consol. Back then crowd noise was a bad thing for clean recording purposes. They would mix in the crowd noise separately to control it better.

Subtitled BONO EATING AN APPLE 🤭
Y BONO CON SU CARA DE : SHI , SHI , SHI, AJA , SHI SHI, YES...ALL RIGHT
Jools Holland speaks incredible French.

24:41 Highway to the Danger Zone
What a bad translation, anyway. He can be pround he interview Bono.
I was 10. This seems so long ago... grunge was only 10 years later??? It's been 32 years since then and I'm 52. I can't handle the passage of any more time...
Dude. Listening to French makes us all crave apple, but try to control yourself.
😆
Worst crowd ever
and best ever version of electric too
If it was for TV (I realise it was in a theatre), audiences 'on the continent' were generally told to sit still and 'look attentive' back then. Polite applause was permissable. Also, in Europe as a whole, even in 1981, venue managements were generally 'super' lairy of any 'group' that vaguely smacked of Mods 'n' Rockers, Bootboys, Metallers, Punks etc. ( _Especially_ Punks!) Any behaviour that came across as even _slightly_ boisterous was liable to get you chucked out!
That doesn't even look like the edge
The Edge made this band! Bono now is a complete washout ffs
what is your fucking problem lol
I know a boy called Trash ... Trash Can... I know he does all that he can... Wham Bam
HRH Bono👑
Hermoso recuerdo
He's like what the hell is this french fry talking about anyway 🤣
