The right band in the right place at the right time. One of the best halftime show in the Superbowl in history.

One of the most important performances in history by the best band in history.

I remember my parents and my brother, sister and I at the age of 10 watching the halftime show because we knew U2 would make it a memorial about everyone who lost their lives on 9/11. I just wish we as a country loved each other as we did as the day after 9/11

[@edtx82]

never forget

[@joliecide]

Woulda been cooler if they lined the names in dual columns to simulate the twin towers.

I can never not cry when I hear "It's a beautiful day" because I think of this...

Crazy that it's been two decades since that awful day. This still gives me feels though.

[@DaGubah501]

NWOrder taking us all for a ride, we are in primitive times, still. Violence so stupid. U2 ATYCLB was absolutely brilliant imo, brought me back to life, I fell in love with them all over again in 2000/2001!

[@edtx82]

this was my era.. shaped so much of my life

[@EricDavis-iw7hj]

i cried as soon as the streets wit no name played, still gets me, but i could feel at least hope and no hate in that stadium.

[@justincopple8222]

I know it gets me every time.

[@johnmcnicholas1119]

[@pk7422]

I remember this as vividly as i remember the entire day on 9/11/2001. You just knew when you saw that jacket open up that you were watching a moment in history that would last far longer than any of us will. I balled my eyes out with just about every emotion a person has after halftime was over...

[@shawnherlickson4481]

Amazing that a band not originating from this country can capsulate the spirit of the USA and bring us all together in such a beautiful way is perfect in every way!!

[@DreKC]

Seriously one of the best tributes ever. They put their heart and soul into this performance.

[@DeefexNYC]

I remember this. It felt like the whole country was watching. It was powerful considering it was a few months right after 911

[@Adam-oy4ix]

Still the best 1/2 time to date... been a U2 fan since I first heard of them back in 1982. A band that has evolved with the times, but has stayed true to who they are. They speak about things that they believe matter - whether you agree with them or not. Great musicians, great songs.

[@ro8257]

Love when there were no holding cell phones but being truly present to capture the memories via their own eyes.

[@SVJIISteven]

+SVJII | Steven yup, can't wait until bush,cheney,rumsfield and condaleeza, go on trial in america, like they did in Indonesia. Find them guilty of war crimes. orchestrating 9/11 and lying the american people into iraq....oh and colin powell too

[@tntjoko319]

This plus U2 after the France attacks. Is what makes U2's Where the Streets Have No Names so memorable and amazing. And it fits so well.. And U2 is so amazing for these 2 performances

[@yoshistar0708]

Bono also did stuff with Billie joe Armstrong for Katrina

[@habibhussain825]

if you're not moved to tears or even feel slightly emotional when hearing where the streets have no name live, I'd have to question your humanity...

Same here!

[@DaGubah501]

It was unbelievably beautiful U2 were destined to be the band that made the tribute. Ireland knows all about terrorism.

[@kevinmcdonald6477]

​@@DaGubah501Ireland knows about occupation by the bloody Brits who insist on clinging to any remnant of their long departed empire by holding on to six counties in Ireland. They are the primary problem in Ireland.

[@dereklepiesza5022]

I remember watching this halftime show (Or it could have been footage from the Elevation tour :/) when I was a little kid, especially Bono running around on this stage, and the shape of it. I was mesmerized. I think this was one of the moments in my life that made me want to learn an instrument and be in a band.

[@usandusonly32]

Not only is this performance important because it was so soon after 9/11 I also think it's important for all Irish-Americans as it helps shows the impact Irish people have had on the US, an impact which I feel is massively understated. Also so many of the firefighters who passed away on 9/11 were of Irish descent.

[@brandonmaddox4862]

I remember watching and remember feeling that this was an important moment because it was bigger than sports or football, it was a moment for us as Americans to be United and feel a sense of togetherness and by the end I was holding back tears, it was a beautiful touching milestone in our country’s path to healing

[@justincopple8222]

Best Superbowl halftime show ever.

[@johnnyprovo7157]

I can't put into words what it was like then, When at half time the team I grew up with was neck and neck with the Greatest Show On Turf, and my favorite rock band delivers a heartfelt tribute to the victims of 9/11. I cried. Unashamedly. And then the Pats won, and it was like WWII had ended, people were out in the streets in our little suburban neighborhood yelling, cars were blowing their horns up and down the street...it was a glorious moment.

[@ford97obs63]

back when singers could walk through the crowd

[@great_live_music]

It takes some balls, but I think some artists would do it today, if the insurance/management companies would let them do...

[@giabarrone7422]

I was in the front row on the interior of the heart where Bono was leaning into the audience and singing. Got my share of his saliva and sweat as a result. No regrets.

[@giabarrone7422]

​@@great_live_music This was a "hired" audience (we didn't get paid) made up of members of the Coast Guard and kids from local High Schools and colleges. That might have played a part. We had several "private concerts" in rehearsals by that point.

@@giabarrone7422 Great info, thanks!

[@jackmarlow4355]

Played with Bruno mars

[@justincopple8222]

Maybe Metallica or Guns n Roses would be an epic half time show.

[@nwcoastlife]

The performance is so good, you can almost forgive Larry Mullen Jr’s mesh shirt. Heh, a friend of mine and I were playing pool at this place called “Temple Billiards” in Seattle. We didn’t know U2 was playing a few blocks away at the Kingdome (when that was a thing). They had an after-party planned there. The security was trying to boot us and a couple of other groups of people there. I never spoke to him, but I could hear Bono tell them “no don’t, they’re fine, leave them alone...”

[@great_live_music]

The mesh shirt is indeed... 90ish Berlin era-esque... And for the rest, Bono, despite being hated by a lot of people, is quite a "normal guy" (if you can be normal doing that kind of job) so I'm not surprised by his reaction.

[@stace4056]

Chris Martin's voice & powerful words over one of my favorite band's songs gets me every. single. time.

[@RB01.10]

Coldplay has always been one of my favorite bands as well. Their 2005 hit song "Fix You" was the one that got me into them.

The only Super Bowl performance that actually mattered

[@LS-ki9ft]

A time when you weren't bashed for loving America and its values. I hope it doesn't take another tragedy to bring us back to this place again.

[@dr.biscuits]

Never seen anything better than that in terms of a beautiful recognition to all of those poor and brave souls that were snatched away from the world and their loved ones that day....it was simply one of the most important tributes in the history of mankind so far...

[@matthewbelczyk5264]

I was only two during this, so of course I don’t have recollection of this, but damn does this bring tears to my eyes, seeing all the names go up especially and the symbolism of the world having our back. Truly cathartic and graceful. Also, what makes even more emotional is how United our country was then. It’s scary and sad how divided our country is 20 years later. It’s as if we need bad things to happen to unite our country. Very sad

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

When it comes to acting, the trope which is always thrown around is every once in a while the stars align for a perfect actor being cast to play a perfect character. Examples of this are James Gandolfini/Tony Soprano, Brian Cranston/Walter White, Michael Richards/Kramer, etc. So what does that have to do with a Super Bowl halftime show? This is an example of the stars aligning for the perfect band to perform the perfect set a time when it was needed most. People can say whatever they want about U2. Very polarizing band. I happen to fall somewhere in the middle. I like some of their work. But I never go out of my way to listen to it. But for this moment a few short months after 9/11, there has never been a band more perfectly positioned in every possible way to approach a moment like this for our country and completely nail to the extent it had rabid football fans tearing up during an 11 minute performance. I still get goosebumps thinking about it all these years later.

When times are the hardest America is at it best. Great Depression, WWII, WW I, Revolutionary War.etc. (I don't include the Cival War because we were most divided.) The biggest threat right now is I believe our own hearts. We are at an all-time high right now comparitively and that scares me more than anything. When entertainment has become the golden calf.
