@@Zontar82 agree, no new ideas after this. some other great songs but no big albums and innovation...but story of u2 made them great anyway. a page of music history.
I always remember as a young fella stumping up the $120 to see this concert in Sydney Australia back in the day. I basically couldn't afford it but i knew it was something i may never see again in my lifetime. I left the stadium that night, with no voice left, having sung every single word of every single song! Best 120 bucks i have ever spent in my life. What a band, what a perfromance, what a night! Love you U2...
More than solid. Had they released Last Night On Earth as the first single and NOT Discotheque with it's stupid video, I think that the entire reception of this album would have been different. They then recreated the exact same mistake for No Line On the Horizon. Another great album with a bad song for the first single that sounds nothing like the rest of the album, They can make stupid choices sometimes.
@@nianfiedler5291 I will go one further...they release Please as the first single...black and white video, the whole perception changes. I did see them perform Discotheque live though and it was brilliant
I’d pay money to see them play the enter Pop album live. It’s one of those buried masterpieces that crops up in some artists catalogues. Not the first album that comes up among casual fans, but it hits harder than you first expect.
Yes!!! I have heard the band say that they were on a tight deadline to release the album and always felt like it was a bit unfinished, and I agree. By the time they were playing the album on tour they were able to refine the songs and live versions of all of them are STELLAR. I think casual fans who discover this album will end up with a ton of respect for U2 for doing something so different and risky. But yeah, I would LOVE to see them play the album live!!
So true. It's greatness was overlooked because of U2's stupid decision to release Discotheque as the first single along with a bad video (these were the days that first singles and videos meant something) Truly everything on POP fits perfectly. And closing out with Wake Up Dead Man. Underrated does not even come close to describing how criminally ignored and berated this album was/is.
It's 750 square meters large. The biggest led screen used in a music show at that time. I guess it was displayed in a museum in New York for many years.
Yes, and they further innovated the LED in Vertigo and 360 tours. U2 are the undisputed kings of the live show! Nobody has it ever will equal them much less emulate them!

Popmart . la gira que se adelantó 30 años en el futuro. Una verdadera joya , en infraestructura, en inovación. La gira pudiera encajar perfectamente en estos años he incluso en estos tiempos se ve adelantada a su época.
Yo estuve en este concierto con mi Tío Carlos. Estaba en el bachillerato y me gane los boletos en WFM jajaj. Descansa en paz Tío Carlos que bueno que grabaron este concierto :)
I saw 3 POP shows within a week at the New Jersey Meadowlands!! Awesome. Love the live versions of “Gone”, “Please” , and “If You wear That velvet Dress”. The latter one has amazing imagery and mystique!
🎸 The entire POP concept was one of the most brilliant and foretelling commentaries on the shape of things to come musically and culturally. Some pretty amazing and completely unique songs, even for them. ⚡
Funny how you seem to be annoyed about people dismissing Pop when it came out and yet you're doing the same thing with their recent albums ;-) I became a fan of this band during the Songs of Innocence + Experience era, those songs are dear to me, and they are in my opinion some of their best ones.
Not sure about masterpieces but way underrated. This song, Gone, Please, If God Will Send His Angels and, and Last Night on Earth are awesome songs. Some of the tracks on Pop fall flat like Miam, The Playboy Mansion, and If You Wear that Velvet Dress.
@@113musikpolizei6 and that's the issue you became a fan of them from their recent releases. If you like those then good but they are fsr from their heydays and this Is universally accepted
POP was one of the greatest shows ever! It's sad how the band treats this period as if it didn't exist. U2 in the 90's were creative and experimental. That's why I love that period. I attended to the show in Lisbon (11/09) and it f**kin' blew my mind away.
Agreed!! I'm an older millennial and the U2 fans I know who are my age and under really appreciate 90's U2. Zooropa is a fave of mine and I discovered a whole group of younger fans who also think that album is one of their best and ahead of its time. I'm so jealous you got to see PopMart though, what an amazing experience that must have been!!! I wish they would play more of the songs from Pop live!
@@alexkasper5029 it was a truly amazing experience. My first time seeing U2 live at POPMART introduced me to a totally new concept of live music. Good to hear you like Zooropa. That album was way ahead of that time. Produced by The Edge in record time, it still sends shivers down my spine today. Mind-blowing times with truly bold experiments. I miss "that U2" for another album...
@@mafcarvalho Ahh that is so cool, what an amazing memory that must be! Yes, Zooropa sends shivers down my spine too! When I found out that The Edge was kind of the driving force behind that album it made sense as to why it felt so unique in their catalogue. Definitely an outlet for him to distract from being back in Dublin without a home to go back to. To me it has this dark beauty just below the surface of experimentation. I will never forget listening to it in the car one day and being moved to tears by "Lemon" of all songs. That beautiful piano bit that takes the song to a whole other place, the lyrics have a tragic longing. "The Wanderer" also. The song "Zooropa" was the song I needed most for a certain part in my life. "Numb" and "Stay" are two of the greats in my opinion. Just such a special album. I miss "that U2" as well. I just finished reading the chapter in Bono's book about Pop and it kinda made me sad that they see that period as more of a departure from who they really are, bc to me it represents the their daring to try to find new sounds and push who they are as artists. I find their music from that period so inspiring. But regardless I will always love them, they are such a special band and their live concerts are just on another level.
great very innovative concert in Mexico City the lights the sound the mega screen to be 1997 very advanced, this concert came out in VHS and DVD format, the best U2 band
No hay , Ni habrá un grupo de Rock más GRANDE como lo es U2 ... En hora buena por existir y dar los mejores conciertos en el mundo y por la excelente música que tocan !!!! Excelente el concierto del POP MART TOUR en la ciudad de México en 1997.🇲🇽👍🇨🇮
Pop Mart Wembley Stadium was my first U2 live show. I was hooked after that. Still to this day, and after seeing many other live shows, from U2 as well, it was probably the best show I've ever seen. This era was U2 at their finest!!
U2 tiene que volver con los temas de POP .Mofo ,Last night on earth,dou you feel loved ,Please, staring on the sun ,Gone ,son temazos !!!u2 despierta de una vez !!!!
Witnessing this live, one day after my 16th birthday, at Roundhay Park Leeds, will probably remain one of the most overwhelming experiences of my entire life... It was all downhill from there!
the entire band was incredible in that period. for how much maligned the entire pop album have been, for me and many other it was their latest GREAT, good album
The bass on this song is boring, most of the bass is back track, you can see when the camera focus on him that his fingers almost don’t move... Adam is the weak part of U2, but works..
Remember been living in Mexico at this time: being a teenager trying to learn english...for some reason this concert was so big that was on the news and was aired on public tv months later, didn't understand much of what Bono was singing, but what an amazing show!!
U2 needs to stop apologizing for this record. It is amazing and cincert performances came alive because they went all in and found a perfect balance of when to go harder or softer.
This concert was magnificent, I was a boy when I watched this concert on tv and I was impressed for that scenario, screen and technology, pop mart tour was the first time I listened U2 and I liked it. Pop is my favourite disc of U2. please make Blue Ray Pop Mart.
The Latin American shows of the PopMart Tour: Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Chile have the best shows because the audience was very energetic and participating at that time.
It was their first visit in Brazil, I can’t never forget the experience! It was also due to them getting their act together to fix the so many problems that happened in the North American and european legs of the tour.
definitely, they stopped being innovative and daring after that. for me it's their latest, great album, all that you can't leave behind was a very vapid album and since then just the abyss. for me i pretend that this is their latest album ever and that was it
I was there in my 20s , today I am 46 and I went to see them to Las Vegas (show 12). Pop Tour in México was my first U2 concert, I still having my t-shirt 1997
POP is a masterpiece. The perfect culmination of the triumphant 90’s trilogy.
"90's trilogy" - I would never have thought of it this way, but it's a totally accurate summation of that era. You're exactly right.
100% agree, they were so far ahead with a lot of things in that era, specially the live shows they did
One of the most awesome opening for any rock n roll show ever made. Mofo!
This should have been the first single. One of their most amazing songs ever.
Agree!!
Agree
All hail the criminally underrated POPMART!
The best, greatest latest album they ever made, no one will change my mind
@@Zontar82 You are speaking THE TRUTH, sir!!!
Like docking in a space station

Current mortals are limited, but future mortals will realise Pop's merit.
Pop is one their most wonderful albums ... totally underrated
The wall of sound that hits after Bono yells “no, no” is pure eargasm stuff.
yes
Thrilling song and performance. It also feels miraculous that this is the song of U2. Great.
Larry is a machine...!!!!
Never misses a beat...!!!
Just bring this song and this energy to the live shows again, please.🙏🙏🙏
Pop, the most underrated U2's album.
I love Pop album since came out...
Indeed.
I'll never get why people don't appreciate Pop enough, it's a solid good album
More than solid. Had they released Last Night On Earth as the first single and NOT Discotheque with it's stupid video, I think that the entire reception of this album would have been different.

It’s the title. The biggest rock band it the world calls their new album “pop”. What did they think would happen?
ist's very good
@@nianfiedler5291 I will go one further...they release Please as the first single...black and white video, the whole perception changes. I did see them perform Discotheque live though and it was brilliant
Rushed
..
But savage good songs
..Please live is as good as it gets
Their sickest performance. They absolutely murdered this track. Their art and theater really moved me. Bravo for this spectacular era. ZooTV 🍋 PopMart
the best definitely, when they could still dare
This is one of their tracks where studio version exceeds the live version i think...a rare u2 occurence..
Luckily they are replaying the entire show in a couple weeks on this channel!

Maybe it's time for U2 to reevaluate Pop, a true masterpiece
No they should leave it as it is it’s a very underrated album
@@mysticedge4 I think he's saying revisit that period as their creative process or direction.
Time for a POP SUPER DELUXE Box set!!!!

Their last great album
And that's the greatest entry and opening of any concert in the history of concert .... Wow !! Just Wow !!
That setlist flowed. Always enjoyed those "mooofooo" battle cries at the start...
This tour was revolutionary ..the first L.E.D. screen ever made for a concert tour
It's 750 square meters large. The biggest led screen used in a music show at that time. I guess it was displayed in a museum in New York for many years.
Yep, and the current technology in professional led illumination systems for musical events comes from that screen.
Yes, and they further innovated the LED in Vertigo and 360 tours. U2 are the undisputed kings of the live show! Nobody has it ever will equal them much less emulate them!
@@gerbear5346 The 360 tour is still the second best selling tour of all time. Ed Sheeran barely beat them in 2019, but only because he put on 2.5x as many shows.

Dios ese sonido esa guitarra esa batería esa fuerza espectacular U2
The body of work speaks for itself. pop is brilliant - just was ahead of its time. Mofo- gone- and Please are some of my favorite U2 songs ever
Está canción fue mi motivación para luchar contra todo y ser feliz en la vida gracias U2 MOFO ❤😎🖤🪽
🎸 The entire POP concept was one of the most brilliant and foretelling commentaries on the shape of things to come musically and culturally. Some pretty amazing and completely unique songs, even for them. ⚡

what a freaking weird period for them. I love it
I thought this song sucked when I first heard it. But then I heard it live and it made sense to me. To me, this is the definitive version of the song.
Me too
Never heard a sound like that. One of my favorites
The first song I ever saw the band perform live :P My introduction to U2.

not going to happen unfortunately, being that they decided that songs from POP must nont be played anymore
@@Zontar82 still waiting for Miracle ;)
More people need to talk about Adam Clayton's bass playing in this period. It is incredible.
the entire band was incredible in that period. for how much maligned the entire pop album have been, for me and many other it was their latest GREAT, good album
Sparky! his stuff is always great but the 90s especially for all of their stuff.
Adam was on 2020-2021
Adam has always been an absolute horse. Nothing fancy, nothing unneeded, sometimes extremely boring bass lines, but exactly what was needed
