LOVE CURES THE BLUES!!! "U2 & B.B. King - When Love Comes To Town - Australia '89" | REACTION

[@christianreynolds9252]

Sorry lads but this song is a U2 song featuring BB King. Bono wrote the song. The hate for U2 is evident 😃 but it is their song. It was on the rattle and hum album when U2 dipped into American rock and roll and blues. See angel of Harlem and desire that also had a similar feel to them. BB King went on tour with U2 in Australia and New Zealand . It was called the lovetown tour. Bb king supported U2 then did a mini set with U2 during U2’s set .

[@naycnay]

They said that at the beginning. They know it's a U2 song. U2 are massive. Global success. BB King is less well known to the masses. However in guitar player circles, BB King is way up there, absolute legendary status. In this case U2 basically gave the man the stage, which is why he said something to the effect of "I'm glad it's BB King featuring U2".

U2 FOREVER

[@mikestevens917]

BB performs the song with U2 on the movie Rattle and Hum. In addition to doing the song they are shown interacting and talking about the song. At one point, as Bono reads the lyrics to him, BB says to Bono 'mighty heavy lyrics for such a young man'. The performance is better too. Side note: I will never understand the anger over the album being preloaded on the iPhone. Even for non-U2 fans, all U2/APPLE did was give people something for free. Zero harm was done to anyone that purchased the iPhone with the album. Zero. None. Nada. Not in the slightest way. I could get it if the preload diminished the phone's performance somehow or people were secretly charged for the album. But to react the way people did doesn't make any sense to me.

Agree 100%.

[@petereastwood1]

@@revbenf6870 I am a fan so happy to get the album. In fairness to U2 even they have admitted they got it wrong on that one.

[@miapulchritudinous9791]

I'm not a massive fan of U2 but I listened to the album on my iPhone and appreciated the kind guesture. It's a really shame that people used to just not listen or watch things they didn't like, you know. But now days if people don't like something they form a mob and remove it.

[@PJBonoVox]

The most bizarre thing is that Apple were in control and they made the decision. But Apple fanboys are so weird they blamed the band instead of the company who made it happen. They'll look past anything for their corporate overlords.

[@SchnellTim]

U2 kicks ass. They’re still amazing to this day. No taste to wash out of your mouth lol

Its not 'featuring' U2,its their song,they wrote it with BB King in mind and he loved it...

Love U2 period 🎶❤️

Come on boys U2 are class

[@TheMaraki2]

Wow! Great video. I saw BB King in Athens back in 1991, at the Lycabettus open air theatre. Magical performance,

[@JOELY79]

U2 are a great band it's become fashionable to say you hate them without really knowing anything about them and the whole apple album thing is such an overreaction people need to move on loool

[@matted781]

I went ot the brisbane concert in 1989 . I still think that this is the best concert I've ever been to. a local radio station did a survey around 2000 and the Love comes to town tour was No 1 hands down.

[@naycnay]

BB King's playing always makes my day. His sound is just so iconic.

[@ryanbryce2752]

I was lucky enough to see BB King 3 times in my life. I considered each experience just an honour to be in the same room as a true icon.

[@johnhoney657]

You need to react to the live version of Love Rescue Me from the same tour, which also includes a verse from BB King. No idea why Bono gets hate for having a big ego on stage... that's part of being a huge rock star, and it's the same for Mick Jagger, Noel Gallagher and the rest of them...

[@ghichens3418]

Yep ! Irish !! You have to go for "Rory Gallagher " "Thin Lizzy " "Clannad" "Gary Moore " "Stiff Little Fingers" "The Undertones" Cheers!!!

[@thebillryan]

You made the fatal mistake of revealing how you think about people as apposed to how you feel about the music. Never mistake the art for the artist. You gave yourselves away.

[@hasinurrahman4952]

U2 is the best band of the last 40 years and the biggest live band of the last 35 years.

[@TESDAnt21]

U2 did not give you that album. Apple bought the rights to the album and put it on your apple device and would not let you delete it.

[@thebillryan]

Oh the inhumanity!

[@duncannash9796]

Firstly I was a huge U2 fan in the late 80s through 90s. Not so much nowadays but if you want to follow the Irish theme you probably can’t go wrong having a closer look at Glen Hansard (The Frames/The Swell Season), especially as you mentioned you appreciate buskers.

[@joesheltonsings]

More BB, the only blues artist that never gets boring.

[@esselleanderic]

If you’re still doing the whole Irish themed thing then a great film to check out is The Commitments - a fantastic music-based Irish film from the early 90s. Even just reacting to a clip of a couple of the songs from the film, there’s plenty on KZbin but it’s a great film all round.

[@quietman1558]

One of my all time favourite films. Brilliant.

Sorry haters but, is U2 featuring BB King, U2 wrote the song, and invited BB to sing it , I am laughing here , watching your big ignorance about great music, you two should be making videos about restaurantes and cakes, not music

[@erikaklemm4024]

Hi guys - Love BB King and was I fan of U2's early stuff - amazing live, saw them at T in the Park years ago, not so much a fan now though. By the way, I came across you guys by accident, I was browsing and yer sight popped up. Had a wee listen and loved what I was hearing (Paulo Nutini - Iron Sky) an amazing song and artist! Since then I've started tuning in regularly. Some songs that you might want to listen to if you haven't already; James - moving on (watch the video, it's fab) Glasvegas - It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry, Florence & the Machine - Dog Days are Over, The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger. I could go on and on, there's so many amazing songs out there. Anyways, best wishes fae Erika in Scotland

[@neilgayleard3842]

Love the blues. BB King also featured in some blues nights at the royal Albert hall in London. Put together with Eric Clapton and other great people.

[@martmottus80]

there is another carrot in a box vol 3. Any possibility Your reaction-video on that? cheers!

[@stephenatherton3251]

Hi Guys , You need to check out some of the stuff BB King did with Gary Moore.

[@robsmith6281]

Without the blues no music would exist.

do you guys know Oasis and Stereophonics did a live cover of "I'm Only Sleeping" by the Beatles, Liam isn't singing but you see him in the background at the event smoking and drinking, Kelly's vocals really do it justice

[@Fwhole]

Love the COVID gag! This track came from the last good album U2 made. But what a great album. Apart from all the other great tracks, it introduced BB King to my generation.

I really think you should do a reaction to the takeover of london by the cologne fans. The video is titeled "Arsenal London - 1. FC Köln: Impressive Fan Invasion of 20.000 Cologne Soccer Fans in London", it was their first international away game in over 3 decades. Really worth a look.

[@grahambamford9073]

Yea U2 are a bit..... well annoying, there older stuff from the 80s is pretty good, but there newer stuff in the 90s and 00s not so much. Bono got a bit self righteous alright, even a lot of Irish people are not so keen. But this song with BB King is fantastic. Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪.

[@Austin-t3k]

90s U2 is my favorite because they took the flak about being self righteous and megalomania and turned it on its head.

[@paulstanley8132]

There not ad good as Bob Mortimer 👍

[@quietman1558]

Not everyone cares about the Irish saints day, I'm English and as such I care about St Patrick as much as the Irish care about St George. Zero, zilch, nada. I hope you will indulge St George in the same way that you have St Patrick. As for this video, BB King is right up there with the best of them. In the original video, Bonio looks at BB wishing that he could sound like that. Stands back and awaits the slagging off from the Paddy's even though I've said nothing derogatory.

[@petereastwood1]

I'm English and know the dates for St Patrick's and St David's. Not the foggiest when St George's day is. And, you gotta hand it to the Celts, they have damn fine anthems too. Even if God Save The Queen is sung as its very best, it still sounds like you are at the back of a funeral procession for a man with few friends or family.

[@quietman1558]

@@petereastwood1 nothing better than a rousing shoulder to shoulder or flower of Scotland to get the blood pumping. St George's Day is April 23rd.
