Get well soon Larry!

[@fv6125]

Bono looked so good here. I always remember him wearing the ugly pair of sunglasses. Larry Mullen Jr. has always been so handsome.

[@100thmegapixel]

The whole design of POP Tour was outstanding starting from their clothes down to giant lemon! 🍋

[@aracelypadilla4658]

Larry is so handsome. Comes across so humble and wholesome. No ego whatsoever :)

[@michaelcorvin4330]

Bono doing his darndest to look like Frank Burns.

[@C5Cse7en]

POP - the last time they truly took a risk and made something incredible and out of this world....

[@pjmiller8632]

What they're wearing is still actually in style. They were always well ahead of their time.

[@amjh4lah809]

One of my all time favourite bands. Or actually my favourite 😍

[@lxldny]

Same, but I must admit they have been shte for a while now. 😅

[@amjh4lah809]

@@lxldny Nooooo. Sure, they may be past their peak, but they're still damn good.

[@stereoroid]

Last time U2 played Dublin, I could hear them even though I live about 5 miles from the stadium. Maybe Bono was doing a favour for the Bonavox hearing aid shop that’s still there today. (“Bono Vox” came from that shop name, coined by a friend of his.)

[@JackPeloquin]

Gavin Friday. The man that has keep u2 rolling.

[@Motzmann-hg7no]

I saw U2 during their Popmart Tour in Hannover, Germany, 1997-08-20. What a great show. Discotheque was my favorite song during this tour! But the whole Pop-Album is great!

[@pj5517]

I like how Bono doesn't hog the questions and keeps bringing Larry in. I saw U2 in front of a crowd of 12 once, my second gig. Nice fellas

[@peopleoflisbon]

I miss this u2. Infact this was my first u2. In-fact, I saw them in concert for the first time in New Jersey either the night this was filmed or one of the days around it.

[@jsizemo]

Interesting, because a lot of people even at that time were saying that U2 sold out

[@peopleoflisbon]

@@jsizemo Probably the most adventurous musically U2 were ever. And they got such a bad press for it, that after that they reverted to a more mainstream crowd pleasing sound. I love Pop.

[@user-gq1xc8vx8f]

❤they were my first concert too in Jersey at Meadowlands (then) 1985

[@knownpleasures]

Their best tour they did . Such great fun

[@JimmyC23]

Bono is just so cool!

[@davidellis5141]

U2 are currently in Las Vegas playing small clubs unannounced !!

[@geoddel1375]

Nope. They’re opening The Sphere in Las Vegas. Nothing small or unannounced about that! 25 shows starting tonight.

[@davidellis5141]

​@@geoddel1375They played around town all week in other places ..unannounced.

Those are some platforms on Lawrence’s shoes…

[@jsizemo]

This was a little under a year before Frank Sinatra passed away.

[@hippydippy]

Bono seems like he's got a nice glow on.

[@frankieboy8414]

Bono looking like Robin Williams

[@tommyz9910]

He does!

[@qthelost]

I saw them at the Astrodome in 1992 on the Zoo TV Tour!

[@Evocati-Augusti]

The way he is dressed is not a mistake or the Castro joke, because when the crash of the U2 spyplane in Cuba hit the papers, they named there band after it...

[@Evocati-Augusti]

The CIA called the mission Ortsac, and the papers figured it out really fast, that it was Castro backward, when the Whitehouse Press Secretary brought it up to special assistant and appointment secretary to President John F. Kennedy, Kenneth P. O'Donnell during the 13 days, he threatened him...

[@bluebear1985]

My thanks to Isabella Rossellini, Dave Chapelle, and Larry Mullen and Bono for being on the show tonight. On the program tomorrow, we've got comedian Jon Stewart, US house representative Susan Molinari, and music from Seven Mary Three. Thanks for watching, good night.

RIP

[@2012onitsway]

I see a lot of comments . It was the best tour but also the worst album at the time . They almost went bankrupt. I enjoyed the concert but was very surprised they almost disappeared.

[@unknownuser0006]

Such a shame that they are doing the Sphere shows without Larry

[@Hippokampos.]

He’s recovering from surgery.

[@Hippokampos.]

@@ObamaFromKenya He’ll be back. It’s not like he’ll be recovering for all of eternity.

[@dannyarcher6370]

@@ObamaFromKenya That's ridiculous. Think of all the bands out there who have changed their lineups over the decades. Is Pink Floyd not Pink Floyd anymore because Roger "I Hate Capitalism But Love My Millions" Waters is not in it anymore?

Ok, as I see it, it looks like every fan's request will be granted, except mine. I have asked the editor many times to post the performance of Belinda Carlisle DO YOU FEEL LIKE I FEEL + Interview, but I see that for some reason you persistently ignore me. You must have disappointed me. I won't thank you for that.

Is Bono still around? Didn't he crash into a tree or something?😉

Uggh! His commie cuban military outfit!
