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
Thanks for watching and sharing the memories Gary
80’s U2 will always be the best U2.
indeed
Yeah for sure. Me and my girlfriend were in the front row for this tour back in 87 at the Pontiac Silverdome in Detroit Michigan when all the lights went out and the place was dark as hell and they started streets have no name. I thought we were going to be crushed😅
But I tell you what they got a lot more smooth and some really good songs in the 90s. Zoo Station was awesome.
The rebel version and angst version of TH-cam kind of faded away like Bono said maybe we failed with the song Sunday Bloody Sunday. I think they made a conscious decision to go ahead and transform into the glamour rockstars thing all through the 90s😊
Yes! But 90's are awesome too
Thx for posting. Thought I’d seen every U2 doc. Finding this was a nice surprise.
Ty for sharing this. I never saw it b4. Saw them in DC when Bono called president Bush sr. Unforgettable. I wish they had a better sound at that show though. I was at the very top of RFK, and the bass drowned òut everything. It said 1 million watts on my ticket. 999999 bass 1w everything else. Sad.
Thanks for watching and commenting Joel
This is U2 at their best.Bono was at his peak and he was almost whistling with his voice.i still like them they have adjusted very work.Thank you U2.
Their old stuff great but after 2009 pure muck wouldn't bother going to watch now and that bono has become a puppet for the globalist agenda.
Some of this reminds me why I was so drawn to U2 as a teenage but some of it comes across as satire.
Saw this on ITV back in 87, best u2 doc made to my mind, captures the atmosphere of late 80's Dublin. The band profile combined with a current affairs doc made by good broadcast journalists that existed on British tv at that time (alas no more) worked well. Thx for the upload
Thanks for watching and commenting
I remember watching this back in '87 and it's still brilliant and poignant. On this tour I saw them at Elland Road, I was right at the front and my legs took weeks to recover from the bashing they got lol. Thanks for sharing, brings back great memories from 35 years ago.
Thanks for watching and commenting Trish, I am glad you enjoyed this video
WOW what a brilliant POWERFUL documentary..U2 always be very proud of every single song.. your a top band and will always be recognised across the world for years and years to come.. THANK YOU
I watched this World In Action special over and over before i went to see them at Murrayfield that summer gutted that they started with Stand By Me and C'mon Everybody instead of Where The Streets Have No Name which they did for most of that tour
Thanks for watching and commenting Brian
They did the same at Wembley! Really disappointing As a result the show never really took off
Both those covers suck.
'Stand By Me' was always their intro song on that tour, normally it would just play over the PA as they walked on but sometimes Bono came on and sang along to it. The first song the band performed was usually 'Streets...', but sometimes they altered the set list as you say. I saw them on the second night at Wembley stadium on that tour, Saturday night, and Bono emerged and sang 'Stand By Me' - then they performed 'Pride'. The previous night, Friday, they started with 'Streets...' though - from what I heard.
Never seen this special before it’s actually fantastic !
I am glad you enjoyed it
'We're just a number in this country, U2 are a name.'
SO TRUE,SPOT ON
Introducing ...u2 the worlds greatest 😇❤️✨
Nice to watch this back, was back 14 years old and bought this record. His big influences are Jesus, Ghandi. Their was a fresh wind end '70 and '80 about the gospel, I see in the interviews that a lot of young people are protestant and or katholiek their is a pointless difference but their is only one body of Christ and His Kingdom. I think the song 'Kite' has a kind of answer on the song 'Sunday bloody sunday' and can be found in the bible Gospel of John 3 verse 3 and 8 and 20,21 Shalom
Great Video Nice Quality My Best Concert Of Life So Far U2 4-21-1987 Los Angeles Sports Arena ...THE BEST !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting, I am glad you enjoyed this video
Hello....anybody here who knows the Band and the Song after the Interview with Bob Geldof ???
Such a great tune....
SO BEAUTIFUL BEST GREATEST BAND U2
Stonehenge!! I was the researcher on this. Great to see it again. Apart from the embarrassing bits....
You certainly were and I see you are credited at 55:18 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to comment
Tongue firmly in cheek I reckon.
He was parodying Spinal Tap I think!@@matthewgarland4305
Wow I’ve never seen the documentary, definitely gonna watch it! Scottish teevee thank you!! You and I have to meet someday!
I hope you enjoy this show. If you are ever in Stirling, take a look over the motorbikes parked outside the Thistle Centre at Murry Place, if there's a big all red 1000cc one with a scottishteevee sticker on the belly pan, then I'm lurking somewhere close by. I have met a few subscribers there. Thanks for watching and commenting 🎸
The adverts are wild.😊
I hope you found them interesting, I was gonna edit them out, but I thought just for interests sake perhaps some might like them.
Up, up, up, up, up.
Now I believe they have Had their time
Wow, I wasn’t aware of this until now in 2024. Interesting they would do two documentaries at the time: this their home country experience then Rattle & Hum, the American part .
I was at that Croak park gig ..age 17 . Lou reed opened and the Bangles i think ..chris rea possibly too ..
🖤
World In Action. I hold the boot dvd ✌🏻
I wonder if it was made from my Betamax which I did convert to DVD 20 odd years ago, I still have the beta tape though.
Who was the band of the young Irish boys? Did they make it? Decent sounding song early in the doc
Why they keep interupting the music
This documentary editor should have ended the documentary with the 'Bad' song and sequence and the corresponding comments of the band, and of course the principals in this documentary. That would have been the perfect ending.
I mean even Bono says good night to the microphone as he walks off.
Does look old now.
Thanks for watching and commenting Rob, as I totally forgot I had uploaded this one
Whats parr
bono went south after achtung baby , its sad
Where in the south did he go, Georgia, Florida 🤓🤡
@@effdonahue6595 no he went to the blue agenda opposite direction
@@effdonahue6595 he became a globalist
@@Daneiladams555 maybe that’s his way of spreading the Good News to the whole world like it says in the Bible
@@effdonahue6595 no hes a trickster
7:44 the result of government social engineering--Socialism.
When u2 were good, and bono wasn't a egomaniac preaching like he's some kind of holy person.
Yep. I guess he has no true friends, as a true friend would have taken him aside and told him to give it a rest and just STFU 😉
It all went completely rogue when Zoo TV Came out threw it in the trash
Fucking great band then
In 1987 Bono was a holy person. U2 at their absolute peak
U2 lost me
with their album
"Achtung Baby"
I've been a fan since I was 13 years old, since 1985, saw them in '87; the first ZOOTV show in Lakeland Fl and many other shows on that tour; I saw PopMart, and the tours all the way into the 2000s. I met Bono and had a chat.
I actually threw my Irish flag on the stage during 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' at the Atlanta ZOOTV show at the old Georgia Dome (I've got the pics).
Forty years on, now at 52 years old looking back, I now see with a new pov the criticisms of their naïve idealism that I always heard from older rock fans. I'm a little embarrassed for not seeing that then. Of course I was young and naïve and U2 were my first rock band I loved. I do recognize that that naïveté was appealing to a point but their peachiness (though better than many preachy rock stars at that time) was extremely cringy. I was always about the music and the politics came second, or even third (actually their esthetic came second). To me it was just what rock bands did then.
Now I can't stomach their activism, and how cynical they've become. Bono used to reach across the isle even to the "war criminal" George Bush. Now Bono and the lads have fully succumbed to Trump Derangement Syndrome. Which is odd because Trump is the ONLY US president that did not start a war.
Their liner notes in their last LP about Charlottesville was appalling dishonest and outright propaganda. And I don't mean their old fan club mag 'Propaganda.' I mean deliberate lies told to divide people for political gain. Oh the rich irony. I thought U2 understood America. But it turns out they were just drunk Euro tourist.
How odd that the peacenik rock band believe all the lies told about Trump and have fully embraced the crazies on the left.
In the end, I think their egos won out over real love and understanding. Now billionaire Bono sits in judgement of those plebes that see the lies on the left and want a truth teller like Trump to lead us by common sense and real love.
I'm still a fan of the music but what a sad parody U2 has become.
Pro tip for Bono; shhhh... no one cares what you think, and I now learned that no one ever did.
U2 gets a lot of stick for their politics, but mostly from right-wingers.
I guess they don't mean and say the right things to your ears. Me too believe they've gone downhill, only musically, but badly so.
The peculiar thing about your comment is, it's first time I've seen 'peace and love' and Trump mentioned together.
That's a first.
One thing I cannot comprehend about you Yank Trump supporters; why isn't the apparent personality flaws waking you up?
It's like letting your creepy pervert neighbor babysit while you're out having a blast. Forget about Biden and his age issues for a moment and reflect on that. If you're able to.
