I think Boston 2001 elevation tour concert was peak of U2 era cus when they launched "all that u cant leave behind" it put them back on the map and they won a bunch of awards.
@@LegacyArts. you really think their Boston concert of 2001 was peak U2? cmon. watch Red Rocks 83, or Live Aid 85. hell.... even Rattle & Hum.... Bono was a beast in the 80's
@@coldacre oh dont get me wrong, those concerts were really amazing as well. Red Rock's bono and energy are just off the charts. Rattle and hum's Helter Skelter was an amazing rendition. & even Zoo Station was not that bad. Not the biggest Pop fan. But I think each concert showcased u2's progress to success and also gave us a look at their talent. Trust me. I also love all of them and the do play a special place in my heart, but I'm saying cinematographically and melody-wise they really had a great show and the playlist was also amazing in 2001s. I think slane deff had great titles too, (not played on 2001 Elevation tour) and same can be said for 2005's Chicago vertigo tour. Each one giving something new and innovative from the band, but for me 2001 Elevation's tour will hold a high place always cus their relaunch + new style & catchy songs that resonated with a lot of ppl during that time after the 01 incident in NYC if u catch my drift. Idk there was something about them singing during this time that made it very unique and special.
"My old man, 500 pounds. I want to thank my old man for that 500 pounds!" Gets me every time. My late father paid 500 dollars for my first drum set, and I still play. For that, I'm eternally grateful to him. RIP Dad and Mr. Bob Hewson.
Fathers who encourage their sons to play music are special and rare. I will forever have that one of a kind bond with my dad because of him believing in me
After my dad died in April and I was seeing his writings, it reminded me that somehow, someway my love of writing poetry started with him. :’) we can absolutely pass down the best of ourselves to our kids if we so choose. Thanks dad.
I just had my 66th birthday. First heard this song over 40 years ago. I still can't sit still when I hear it! Thanks to U2 for the wonderful music over the years!
After 2 years how many more times have you watched it? This is.... a special song for sure and a special performance, the bits from the DVD that this doesnt have are so touching.
Yep. And probably their best concert overall. At least the best I’ve seen committed to film. This was their prime. One and All I Want + Streets was epic at Slane too.
All of you real fans have probably already noticed it, but I’m a bit dull. I believe that’s the same guitar the Edge is playing as when they played at Red Rocks.
Binging on live U2 during lockdown makes me feel less alone. The atmosphere even after 20 years is so electric, I feel like I’m there with all the joyous people.
I wanna thank Thin Lizzy for letting U2 open up for them. I wanna thank Mr. Hewson, Mr. Evans, Mr. Clsyton, and Mr. Mullen for letting their boys realize this amazing dream of creating this beautiful band!
This is the greatest moment in the bands history...and one of the saddest. This gig was a sermon to his father...stunning moment in my life when i saw this gig
I saw these 4 BRILLIANT!!!!! musicians over 40 years ago and back then I knew this band would be one of the biggest bands of all time. I'm 65 now and I still love them. THE BEST!!!!!!
What I love about this video is that at 4:50 when the song kicks in, the entire crowd are going insane. Not just the people down the front, but all 80,000 of them! Insane scenes!
For a band that could barely play their instruments when they started they have made such an incredible journey. Amazing! Thank you for your music that touches our souls and hearts Long live U2!!!!
I have this DVD , this DVD inspired me to go and see them play live at Edihad Stadium in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 The greatest sounding band in the world
The irony is that Bono is always in complete control of both the band and the crowd. I have loved this song ever since I first bought the album “Boy” way back in 1980. Such raw energy and charisma exploded out of the speakers…and they’ve still got it!
I was at this gig in 2001 and watching it back, the main thing I notice is that nobody in the crowd is holding up a damn cellphone. Those were the days!
Best gig ever . The boys rocked it that night , fucking mental , a few yrs later nme voted this gig in the top 10 of all time . I worked hard myself to afford the flight , ticket and it paid of for me.
Larry Mullen jr. one of my favourite drummers ever. So original and precise and he really digs it. Adam is awesome too. No beating round the bush, they hold the sound building for the edge spacey guitars and bono´s vocals.
I mean, the album version of this is no slouch IMHO. But yeah, quite a few of their songs are better live than in the studio versions. IE the "Wide Awake In America" version of "Bad" and the "U2360 at the Rose Bowl" version of "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)".
This is just so fucking great! I first saw U2 in 1983 here in L.A. on the WAR tour with the Alarm opening. I was 17 and it completely changed my life in such a powerful way! Watching this now brings tears to my eyes and I'm not ashamed to admit that all these years later. They're a very special band and they always will be.
I hated U2 as a kid, my best mate was a super fan but I just didn't get it however, he bought me a ticket to see them in 1993 at Roundhay Park in Leeds. I had an epiphany that day, off my face on weed and stella artois, they were spectacular, I've seen U2 11 times since that day, I'm by no means a super fan but they are without doubt the best band I've seen outdoors 👍
What a flawless performance; They're so comfortable with each other. I've definitely given them at least 500 pounds and I'll keep on giving for these guys; They're worth it!
It's amazing how bono holds the band at 4:40. You can see he raises his hand and Adam and Edge keeps looking at it holding the note until he raises it down :)
Nothing to do with his hand. Its Larry.When he goes to four on the floor with his kick drum is when they come back in. Make no mistake. Larry is the conductor in this band😀
What a tune. What a gig. And don't forget Bono asking us to thank Jasan Mcateer for his goal against Holland, sending us to the World Cup in South Korea. Great times.
I didn't knew this song before I saw Slane Castle DVD 20 years ago. I remember that amazing WTF moment :D Its so raw, so pure and so amazing! Larry is a phenomenal drummer!!! Edge's guitar sound is incredible and Adam's always relaxing face with that bass!!! Ohhh God!
This was an incredible performance. Especially for Bono, you can hear his heartache while performing this dedication to his then ailing father. Bless Bono and his father. I like to think that is now resting in peace. "You can't fight fate" is the absolute truth, kind sir!
Dude me too! I drawn a picture of Bono in this concert in 2007, as of that time this song I never heard till I bought this. Sicken coming from a die hard u2 fan. Makes me pissed off actually lol
One of the best songs by u2, ironically their first single, they have had some greats since but hard to meet the power from this. I play it to my son as it is so inspirational an Irish boy who has to make it in the big bad world
Say what you want about U2... This was one of the greatest concerts ever conceived
The Slane Castle concert was probably U2's peak live recorded performance. Hometown crowd. Awesome.
nah Red Rock's 1983. watch it

I have definitely given U2 500 pounds over my lifetime. Worth every penny.
That’s how a crowd should look like! 😁
Brilliant, best version ever,must have watched this 100s of times
Agreed!
I’ve watched 1,000s of times

Hairs up on my neck and arms after my 1000th viewing

It was a great gig but look for Belfast81 or US83 way better than this (search out of control U2)
@@jmachatch6696true it has his neck broken and he let it repare so she still singing too this day
Just about the best live version of anything ever.
Anthony Knox that is the best performance of ONE!
Bono is talking about needed Money and ask your father
Yeah, stirs something from way down and unexplainable -- even the original does but you're right, this one live is from some other dimension . . .
So true!!! Goosebumps!!!
Nailed it
This is the best live song ever played in whole history of rock. The energy of the band and the energy of the crowd is insane, just give me chills.
When Edge has his Explorer in his hands, he is unstoppable!!
Killer guitar solo!!!
Edge is simply God having fun with the guitar. Nothing more. Nothing Less. GOAT of guitarists.
Binging on live U2 during lockdown makes me feel less alone. The atmosphere even after 20 years is so electric, I feel like I’m there with all the joyous people.
They were my favorite band 30 years ago. They're my favorite band today and they'll still be my 30 years from now, in the nursing home
I wanna thank Thin Lizzy for letting U2 open up for them. I wanna thank Mr. Hewson, Mr. Evans, Mr. Clsyton, and Mr. Mullen for letting their boys realize this amazing dream of creating this beautiful band!
And I want to thank the parents of U2 because without them, I would’ve not been able to enjoy such incredible music over the last few decades.
And we are thankful for the £500 from all of the parents...
My god - perfection - the band, his voice and the fans absolutely in ecstasy… What a magical moment. This was a priceless concert to be at.

2018 and still the greatest band in the world!!
That must've been at least 7.0 on the Richter scale!
I get goosebumps every time. It's mesmerizing.
@Garrett O'Rourke I chose the Ireland game instead. It was a tough call
The BEST BAND to ever walk the face of the earth
When he thanks his pa, that gets me every time. Knowing that he had just buried his father a few days before this show.
AL ESCUCHAR ESTA MÚSICA CIERRO LOS OJOS Y DESAPAREZCO DEL LUGAR EN DONDE ESTOY ..IMAGINARIAMENTE ME VOY HASTA EL CONCIERTO DE U2 !!!
For a band that could barely play their instruments when they started they have made such an incredible journey. Amazing! Thank you for your music that touches our souls and hearts
Long live U2!!!!

Larry is a living metronome! His drumming is incredible precise!
Simply one of the best live version of U2 !
Guillaume Debart this was classic especially the performance of ONE!
Look at the version from red rocks 83 … blows this away
Nobody has phone, only x thousend fans, U2 and such a great atmosphere! I wanna live this age again!
"I got BIG IDEAS, I'm OUTTA CONTROL!"
U2's first single from Boy. 18 yr olds borrowing £500 each from parents with a dream to sign a deal in London.
Nawaz Rahim :)
@@TazeenIslam actually, first single from Boy was "A Day Without Me"
@@igortokarski9517 possible - it’s before my time
I wanna thank Phillip Lynott for letting us open the Show. Lynott was well known for help irish artists on their way up.
This why you can only love this band. Hate does not exist in their vocabulary.
I was at this gig in 2001 and watching it back, the main thing I notice is that nobody in the crowd is holding up a damn cellphone. Those were the days!

You are a very lucky person!
Prop Joe, so true, people today waste an event with their damn phones
Not even there live and you feel the entire show still. Crazy. Goosebumps. Excitement. That's a rock show !!!!
Bono (and the boys) buried his pop the day before this concert. The resulted in the most emotional and best concert ever by this band.
Best gig ever . The boys rocked it that night , fucking mental , a few yrs later nme voted this gig in the top 10 of all time . I worked hard myself to afford the flight , ticket and it paid of for me.
they have my £500 and it was worth every cent...
Probably a bit more than £500.00 ...lol.

Giving the nod to Philo in the intro was a lovely move.
Brilliant work. Now that's a Rock Star and his Band.
That whole stadium is ROCKING to this !!
Larry Mullen jr. one of my favourite drummers ever. So original and precise and he really digs it. Adam is awesome too. No beating round the bush, they hold the sound building for the edge spacey guitars and bono´s vocals.

'This is out Tribe!!!!' love this part of the song. 500lbs well spent!
Nice to see this during this COVID lockdown. Hope to see them again live one day.
I'll show my boy this video one day
This one is up there with the super bowl performance, bad from Live Aid, and streets from Rattle and Hum. Incredible.
What a flawless performance; They're so comfortable with each other. I've definitely given them at least 500 pounds and I'll keep on giving for these guys; They're worth it!

good one Lucas, hadn't noticed that before. The crowd at 4:56 amazing
Every great orchestra needs a conductor....LOL
Nothing to do with his hand. Its Larry.When he goes to four on the floor with his kick drum is when they come back in. Make no mistake. Larry is the conductor in this band😀
Not a mobile phone in sight - crowd living in the moment! #OldSkool
YES!!! 👈
I am fucking sick and tired of seeing CUNTS moan about mobile phones at gigs.
Quite possibly the best live performance of a song that U2 has ever done. I dare you to find one better.
Il n'y a pasà chier (pardon ..) mais même des années après, ça me mets toujours par terre .... Que c'est bon !!
Still gives me the chills... when the song kicks in at 4:52..
Best £500 I’ve ever spent !!!

La mejor banda de rock de toda la historia...grande bono .. desde Chile
So close to home ... grew up with U2 in my ears ..... very proud
Awesome... Fucking awesome...!!! "And this is the Edge, I don't know where we got him...!!!" The best of all...
+Mirrorcob Films no he s not south side he s from malahide North co Dublin although he was born in the UK. Just saying.

Adam and edges tone omg so good and Larry's good timing holds em all together Bono sounds great ..these guys are just so good together ❤
This Slane concert & Live at Red Rocks are my 2 favourite U2 concerts ever !
44 years and i am still the same as 17 in my mind

I have paid 500 pound for two concerts and been worth every penny and would pay it again and again x life too short
"IM OUTTAAAA CONTROOOO‐OLLLLL". Epic.
By far the best live performance caught on DVD by the greatest ! Every U2 fan needs to have this one at home !
This concert should be released on a beautiful LP set.
Literally watching Edge grow up playing the guitar and bringing creativity and innovation to the mix really a treat.u2 a class act.
This is as close as human beings can get to feeling like they are Gods... They crowd are in heaven .. this few minutes is like being in paradise
