bonos vocals are on point...we have seen alatly///axl rose/elton john/macca struggle with vocals considering there age but bono is 63 ffs...cant wait till he really gets going.stunning show
That was absolutely brilliant. His voice is still strong. Band are one of the greatest of all time. I LOVE the little medley of Beatles lyrics at the end of the song. Epic ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Bono sounds fine. It’s not what it used to be during 360 tour but his vocal is still good. I would definitely pay to see them live and would be satisfied.
I hope the artists that perform at that venue are playing live each time. From the balcony seats and with the huge video screen the band is almost invisible.....
We live in a great time, the Sphere, U2, The Stones and others still putting out great music and great shows. The Sphere is going to be the place to see shows now for awhile.
I heard some people saying bonos voice is gone but it still sounds good here. I think maybe they might be a bit bored playing the same songs for the 2000th time in 40 years. Thats why he changes the melody and lyrics frequently
Innocence and Experience was the last run really. I saw them back to back nights on that tour, that’s right around the time cell phones started to take over.
I was there… this isn’t anywhere was it was like. It was magical, the sound was crystal clear, the visuals (especially the close ups of the band) was truly amazing, the desert visuals OMFG! like 8k on a gigantic scale… let me say again I WAS THERE 😂😂😂 IVE LITERALLY GOT THE T-SHIRT 😊
He did ok. I'm not blaming him for the band's ridiculous decision to continue without Larry. But it just doesn't sound quite right. Larry is a unique drummer with a unique sound. This just doesn't sound like U2. You simply can't replace a keymember of the family that is U2. Or at least, that's what it used to be. Right now, I think it's just over and done with.
@davidmalarkey1302 Or postponed, at least. Larry started U2, playing without him doesn't seem respectful of the musical journey they've been through together for close to 50 years.
Maybe it’s just me, but once you get used to the sphere the show seemed to lack the energy of a typical concert. I saw them at the Rose Bowl for the Joshua Tree tour and I think I like that better. Just me?
Yeah, it really seems like a lost opportunity to do something really spectacular with the sphere. I mean, the art is beautiful, but when I hear this song, I expect to see airplanes and CDG airport.
@@hejiranyc A lost opportunity for using the sphere in general, i think they were too soon to get some great visuals, i think in the future will used more to its potential
@@ciaranflynn1397 If there is one artist who could have done it properly, it would be Peter Gabriel. The visuals for his current tour are SPECTACULAR and the mind boggles over how he would have used all of that real estate inside of the Sphere. But I suspect he is not quite popular enough to do a residency in a venue of this size. In fact, other than U2, is there anyone else who could do this? They are one of the few bands out there who straddle the line between stadiums and arenas. Bruce Springsteen is another one in this category; however, he is too basic to do anything creative with the Sphere. Sure, the Rolling Stones, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, etc. could do it, but they are completely stadium-sized attractions. The Eagles might be able to pull it off in terms of popularity, but their live visuals are pretty minimal. Perhaps Madonna? Harry Styles?
I love U2 so much but I thinks it's time to retire on a high note others may disagree I understand I want them to go on forever too 🤗 but its time. Maybe i got bad impressionsfrom this video 😊 Ive been wrong b4 lol. I wanted to see them in Vegas😢 😁 but then no Larry 😢 so maybe not as its all of them or none. I ❤❤ U2. Bono Edge Larry Adam. Love you. You will always be dear to me and favorite band. First fan later in life when young Achtung baby I wore out that tape lol. BONO still most beautiful awesome voice 🥰🥰. Much Love ❤
Hello! Does anyone know what section and row this video was taken from?? I’m worried section 102 row 20 will have an obstructed view! Does anyone know?? Thanks!
I’m not any kind of U2 partisan but this is one of the most stunning videos I’ve ever seen. (Except for that part where Bono started quoting The Beatles, that sucked)
203. The rows are off in some sections, they don't all start at row 1, so check carefully. I think there won't be a bad seat in the house, though. The seats are so steep, there are good views.
What? Bono’s singing is strong here, he just changes the way he sings, not to be bored of 23 years singing this, it’s clear that he could do this like in the original version.
They sound as on point as ever. Their performance style is more subtle, which is a typical evolution for being older, wiser, and more at peace with the universe. You young people--wait--it will happen to you, too. ✌🏼🕊☮
Sorry, this doesn't quite sound like U2 without Larry. There are just no excuses for this and I'm saying this as a 43 year long fan. It's the beginning of the end.
As a lifelong fan I have to agree Age catches up with everyone, with the exception of the Edge, whose guitar skills and vocals remain impeccable Sad that Bono’s voice has gone Sad that touring has taken its toll on Larry Doesn’t diminish their legacy, which is second to none
@@sociald4515 Keep defending a dumb decision for financial reasons. That's the thing, when a band becomes so massive, it turns into a corporation. If replacing a bandmember comes so naturally to you, then next time they'll just swap out the Edge and that should be fine too, is that your argument?
@harryireland1935 I don't recall defending anything. I explained why Larry isn't there. LMJ said in a interview he needed back surgery if he wanted to be able to keep performing.
I hope Larry is getting well but in the mean while.., Bram is doing a good job!🥁👏

I tought that drone at 1:56 was an insect irl.

Paul mc was here
His voice is shot what are you listening to?
Edge's on FIRE!
Always is Guitar and vocals always impress
FYI - The Beatles vamp was for Paul McCartney who was in the audience.

Bono needs 2 rember hes 63!!! He sounds 20years old incredible
Calm down before you shoot in your pants!
To late for that pal
Charging big money for this, concert should be free for that performance.
How bout $100 Parking Fee
best band ever,thank you
Great show...but the intimacy of a classic U2 show is not there
I hope the artists that perform at that venue are playing live each time. From the balcony seats and with the huge video screen the band is almost invisible.....
U2 was surprisingly stripped down, they used tapes for a couple of track intros like Elevation, which they walked on stage for the encore to.
The memories I have to this song I can't tell you , all I can say is I'm sitting here with a smile on my face. X
seeing this with my mom. a great moment ❤
Me toooo mate. I remember when it was released. I loved it. It was very popular in Poland!
Someone is tuned into the mushrooms in the end of September 2023 seen then when i wasa boy in Scotland over the years thanks to ma da n ma maw .
Doesn’t sound like they’re using the sequencer that they usually use when they play this live. That drummer sounds better than Larry.
We live in a great time, the Sphere, U2, The Stones and others still putting out great music and great shows. The Sphere is going to be the place to see shows now for awhile.
Oh great , more obnoxious people.
Must have been a spectacle. The sphere is friggin awesome!
So is the $100 Parking Fee
@@Lucky-ou4vz Suckers !!
if you have a chance I would say to go. it was freaking awesome and I saw them when I was like 12. they gave it their all.

Not gone completely but yes. I mean , it happens to many singers.
Hey. Bono and the boys are gods. They will always be perfect to me. Jyst wish i could have been there. Thankyou so much for your footage xxx

Not bored… first show. Every show Will be better.
sound very forced..

Bragging rights worth all that money.
Agree I was so mesmerized by the visuals. Best concert!
How did the dutch drummer do?
Quite well by the looks of it…

Bram is okay
@@dianavandenbersselaar1859 just okay he did a great job
At 4:35 who's flying a drone around the stage, I wonder if someone in the audience brought one in the building....lol.
That was flying around all night, but I wondered the same thing.
@@JohnLoughney It's official - they used those drone shots on their pages

I love the stage. It is so uncluttered! The bands must love it there.
I'm guessing that is a custom stage for U2 and bands can have whatever they want. This stage is built in the style of a turntable.
I love U2 so much but I thinks it's time to retire on a high note others may disagree I understand I want them to go on forever too 🤗 but its time.

Hello! Does anyone know what section and row this video was taken from?? I’m worried section 102 row 20 will have an obstructed view! Does anyone know?? Thanks!
Looks like a big screen saver
I’m not any kind of U2 partisan but this is one of the most stunning videos I’ve ever seen. (Except for that part where Bono started quoting The Beatles, that sucked)
Bono has been using "Black Bird" as a coda to "Beautiful Day" since Live 8 in 2005 when they played with Paul McCartney. It's an awesome homage.
@@TheFirstJedi Perfectly fair but there’s no part of my heart that is willing to forgive the “Sgt Pepper’s” bit.
Paul McCartney was in the audience for opening night so he was paying tribute to him.
I see my white blonde hair front and center. So wish I could repeat the night! Thx for posting!
There should be more animations on the huge screen, a bit too steril as for me
There was. They played 22 songs.
Hey John, buying tics. Just curious what section were you in?
203. The rows are off in some sections, they don't all start at row 1, so check carefully. I think there won't be a bad seat in the house, though. The seats are so steep, there are good views.
Huge missed opportunity with the visuals...
This band used to be the best live act in the world. What the hell are they doing there?
Is that a drone flying around?
yes.
@@JohnLoughney I hope it didn't lose its signal and crank into someone's forehead. I wouldn't mind seeing their footage, though.
drummer sounds good. It s hard to play with such a bad singer. It s done

@@Stig9760 well he made the song boring now. And if this is strong singing then singing is not hard anymore.

Just like real music, real live shows are dying.

Larry had back surgery and will be back after cleared by the doctors. He was with them a couple weeks ago on the strop to record their new video.

75% of U2 is better than nothing.

U1.5?
@@JohnLoughney Yes, that does sound like a more artful description.
Bran was rushing the beat.
Voice weak
Where is Bono and who is that singer???
The venue is the attraction here not the band that's performing.
Not the best vocals. Probably should have went with Coldplay.
Find JESUS people All things end
Id ask for a refund
This voice is shot! Time to retire Bono.
Zoom out!!!!
