U2 New Years Day (Elevation Tour 2001 Live)

[@GeorgeMcCauley]

Definitely my favourite live version of New Years Day!

[@beresolano4401]

AGREE !!!!

[@manuelpedrosd]

They are all the same, it seems, all good

[@GianWarGasm]

2:51 the flag coming and Bono grabbing it, the camera angle, the vocal explosion..... this was just perfection!

[@diegogarcia-ud7ii]

Everything's perfect you would think it's a setup. But nah, the planets are just aligned at that intense moment.

[@jhamler1]

@@diegogarcia-ud7ii It actually WAS a setup. Jason McAteer (footballer for the Irish national team who scored the game winner earlier that day) was supposed to join Bono on stage that night. Look it up.

[@dzat]

Still listening to this in 2024 and i’m 53, been listening to this song when i was 13-14 yrs old & still gv me goosebump with its raw power!

[@BrentWPowers]

The bass line owns the song, brilliant.

[@marcmichel9541]

Just watched this today on January 1, 2021 because I miss these kind of concerts so much

[@juli-annb.anderson8816]

Same.... this is an awesome version.💞🦘💞

[@sonjareitz2238]

Maybe just once.... just once ......

[@Mainrollman]

The Edge's guitar work is just amazing on this version. And that solo....so simple, yet so powerful at the same time.

Mainrollman rr Rock de llos 80

[@kevincosgrove948]

AND he’s doing the piano parts and the backup singing. Just FULL-ON Edge 100%

[@hartsm76]

@@kevincosgrove948 There should be so many more who get that. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@GabrielNardinMusic]

Recently Rick Beato (a very famous and respected KZbinr) made up a list of his top 20 "underrated" guitar solos of rock history and the one The Edge does here was included for that reason. The melody is simple but not improvised at all, and fits perfectly with general vibe of the song. As soon as I saw him playing the solo in that countdown video I realized he was damn right: Everytime I listened to this song my main focus was tipically the bassline, the piano/keyboard riff, the great vocals Bono put on this one, etc... but never really gave that much credit to the solo. I only put my hands to learn it after that video, despite having played it before with the bass, the keyboards, drums etc.

[@pardalotzatziki]

The moment he catches the flag and wears it...one of the most powerful moments in live music ever!!!

[@SP-qo3pd]

It blew me away man.

[@francisrevil854]

perhaps the most classic ever..!

[@juergenp.5658]

Irish people!!!!!!! The Irish have the best bands ever. I Heard u2 songs since 33 years. Unforgettable and unreachable.

[@ChompChain]

can't ever stop coming back to this one

[@jaydenp4975]

Here in June of 2020

[@snowleopard3167]

U2 is greatest as one, but I must flash my spotlight on the multi-task performance back vocals, piano, guitar sounds like a million, all spot on timing and brilliant.. He really got the EDGE so cool!

[@mellowlady6976]

ICONIC

[@khetaglagkuev6001]

Look at Edge go, nailing those keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals all in the same song

[@emiliodiaz3648]

Considerada una de las mejores bandas de rock de todos los tiempos. Música sin fronteras con un lenguaje universal qué no necesita de que la entiendas si no mas bien de qué la sientas.

[@easymathadvance]

Es la mejor rola de U2

[@yunggaspar8433]

AMEN

[@darielgames9811]

Una 🍺 a este buen hombre que sabe 😎

Ah cbrón !! pareces poeta !!!

[@edwinvalentinpinedabarreto4077]

Escuchar esta rola ....es volar ....

[@rojas230]

Even though im not Irish, i still got goosebumps when Bono puts on the flag. truly amazing.

[@andrenewcomb3708]

I've never been to a concert as intense as this one must've been!

[@jonathanevans1678]

It was unreal,very emotional, Bono had just buried his father a couple of days before the concert

[@rosannanadeau236]

Bono still has the passion and talent I love!

[@sumguy9687]

I wish I could have been there for this concert. 😊

[@eweb4949]

Exactly!!! 💚🎶

[@BeckVS1970]

What a fantastic tribute to the football player Jason McAteer

[@SP-qo3pd]

Thank you, I was wondering what he said :)

[@jaydenp4975]

4:11 bono laugh is adorable. This band is epic and this performance is legendary.

[@jayjasonjayman1]

The edge...guitars. oh and piano. Oh, and backing vocals. What a dude.

[@xavipcu3437]

2020 The best rock band of the history ... God bless you U2

[@PauloCesar-hj5dp]

U2 is a fucking band !

[@eduardoaguilar3656]

By so far, one of the greatest concerts they've made in all their musical history.

[@davideroca9910]

The sound they have in this version, extreme Power, from one of their most powerful tracks: Edge's Guitar, Adam and Larry go straight with no hesitation...Brilliant

[@filippo_random_phil]

What a GREAT guitarist Edge is .... he create a sound ... a way to use the sounds with the guitar ... unique . Awesome . And Bono..... with the flag of Ireland ...... wow . What a band . These 4 guys ... what a talent and determination . Nice that u exist :)

[@juanbenitescutte4411]

EPIC VERSION! A New Year wthout seeing or playing this LOUD makes you feel incomplete.

[@TRMCLUB]

No phones at that time! Legendary

[@PAEK21]

A scream for a change, for rebellion, for hope...

Pantelis Papadopoulos Jiiihiiihoooohoooo

[@claricestarling5278]

The absolutely best concert ever!

[@ashtonballiet5695]

Clarice Starling agree

[@lex1945]

One of the earliest and best songs of U2 ever. Still listening to the original version on LP nowadays, that means the long version of this song. Every year on 1st of january, i put this song and listen to it

New Year's Day 2021

[@simplemntGonzo]

Yeah All is quiet on New Year's Day A world in white gets underway I want to be with you Be with you, night and day Nothing changes on New Year's Day On New Year's Day I will be with you again I will be with you again Under a blood red sky A crowd has gathered in black and white Arms entwined, the chosen few The newspapers says, says Say it's true, it's true And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one I, I will begin again I, I will begin again Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Ah, maybe the time is right Oh, maybe tonight I will be with you again I will be with you again And so we're told this is the golden age And gold is the reason for the wars we wage Though I want to be with you, be with you Night and day Nothing changes On New Year's Day On New Year's Day On New Year's Day

[@patriciaguth6882]

Bono's voice seems raspy here from too much singing, but he's still the ultimate lead singer and front man in my opinion. He always gives his all to his audiences, and I'll listen to him sing no matter how he sounds.

[@RaZeRbLaDeZ]

This is probably my favorite live performance next to AIC - Unplugged

[@zakarialaouira]

best new years day live version ever

[@nuttaponglenglerdphol5353]

Edge Best version live for sure. Great to evacuate stress. My favorite group for ever

[@stevekendrick2008]

[@felixmiranda3082]

Excelente canción 🎶 tiene ritmo musical.🎵🎶🎼 Un clásico de el rock. Saludos Perú. 🇵🇪

[@-somedude]

This song is a ton of fun to play on bass. Especially when it's live like this.

[@GabrielNardinMusic]

You bet! I´ve recorded a video of it with tabs on it using regular tuning for those who do not want to tine down a halfstep to play it.

[@industrialdrummer44]

Definitely an underrated rhythm section.

[@ProximaCentauri1]

It's so beautiful and perfect that is truly too much for me. Brain storm. It's one of that piece of art that is not simply art, it's God arrow.

[@bolbiitp7850]

that guitar solo...pure beauty

[@mellowlady6976]

Beyond intense.

[@treehymer]

In my opinion this is U2 at the height of their greatness and Slan Castle is quite possibly their greatest live concert to date. Absolutely incredible and magic !

[@RicardoLopez-yk7hi]

Esta versión en vivo es excelente, que bien se presentan estos señores, magistral.

[@r.m.4698]

[@johnvegas9059]

Bass on the studio version is so good. Shows how they combined old fashioned punk with all the technicalities of a studio

[@jdizzle2631]

Every time I hear this song it transports me back to my time in Dublin. Everything about this song is magical.

[@armandoyano9965]

Greetings from Philippines, Happy New Year's Day! (01/01/2021) Vive Le U2! :-)

[@Geotubest]

As great as Bono is, The Edge really comes on strong with his backing vocals. Without that, I'm not sure the song would be what it is.

[@bernardosantana2755]

+Geotubest Specially in the 2:27 part, "Torn in two, we can be one", just before Bono finishes that line, The Edge starts the backing vocal! I completely agree!

[@Geotubest]

+Pulga Houdini Precisely...it's GLORIOUS the way The Edge comes in at that part. Completely in tune with what you're saying.

[@icyraindrops7384]

+Geotubest SPOT ON... He's my absolute FAVORITE one!!!!

[@jackyjre5672]

+Geotubest Agree. And that's why they are the band they are. All works together so beautifully.

[@joeyballzz0160]

yeah no doubt, The Edge is the man! Love that dude! he's great at piano/keyboards too! But sings really good back up and especially falsetto!

[@waynedaly100]

Best song ever written

[@nerioliveira378]

very proud of this band, they were never involved in a women drug scandal etc......... I love you U2 I love you The Edge 🎸🤩💖💖💖🔥🔥🔥 come to Brazil soon, we love you so much 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Vida logs my favorite band the best band on the planet!!🤩💖💖💖✌️✌️🤟🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@glennsnyder1194]

Edge's playing and background vocals with Bono's vocals make them the super group they are.
