Yahweh & "40" - U2 (Vertigo Tour Live From Chicago, 2005)

Ending their show in United Center, Chicago on a religious note.. Yahweh is obvious (another name for 'God')... 40 is their interpretation of Psalm 40, with Adam and Edge switching instruments as you can see.

I love this video but pray whoever chose to monetize it by placing an ad in the middle needs to reconsider it. It's like interrupting a prayer with an ad for laundry detergent. Please remove it--it's the right thing to do.

[@Ricku2]

better buy the official video then. It's a youtube thing, it can't be removed, I guess U2 receives a small amount of money for it. Uploader doesn't get money.

Have Faith and leave the rest to Yahweh

[@theresak.7475]

Even people with strong faith experience distress, grief, and pain. Jesus himself did and cried tears over such - this and more. The key is to be Christ-like and as Jah Himself has also set the example of being - empathetic and consoling; along with speaking of the true, Scriptural hope from Jehovah [Yahweh], of the resurrection of loved ones, mostly back to here (after Armageddon), onto this earth restored/being restored as a paradise. (Psalm 37:10,11, 29) Then, it will come to be that no one will be sick anymore. Better times are ahead. That is true. (Revelation 21:3-5; Isaiah 33:24)

[@garylagstrom3864]

MY LETTER TO U2-1987 I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono! I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage! I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations. Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year! All the Best! Gary Lagstrom

If you sing along and you are a Christian with the holy spirit living inside of you, saying the name of God moves you inside: and you can see it has that affect on Bono as well.
