U2 - Exit, Gloria /live/, Denver, Colorado, USA, 8.11.1987, ( Rattle And Hum) /1988/

Album : U2 - Rattle And Hum /1988/
Exit
You know he got the cure
You know he went astray
He used to stay awake
To drive the dreams he had away.
He wanted to believe
In the hands of love.
His head it felt heavy
As he came across the land
A dog started cryin'
Like a broken-hearted man
At the howling wind
At the howling wind.
He went deeper into black
Deeper into white.
He could see the stars shine
Like nails in the night.
He felt the healing
Healing, healing, healing hands of love
Like the stars shiny, shiny from above.
A hand in the pocket
Fingering the steel
The pistol weighed heavy
His heart he could feel was beating, beating
Beating, beating, beating
Oh my love, oh my love,
Oh my love, oh my love.
Oh my love...
So hands that build
Can also pull down
The hands of love.
Gloria
Gloria...
I try to sing this song
I, I try to stand up
But I can't find my feet
I try, I try to speak up
But only in you I'm complete
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Gloria...Gloria
Oh Lord, loosen my lips
I try to sing this song
I, I try to get in
But I can't find the door
The door is open
You're standing there
You let me in
Gloria...in te domine
Gloria...exultate
Oh Lord, if I had anything
Anything at all
I'd give it to you
I'd give it to you

Who else agrees that is a shame that this song (among others) wasn't included in the Rattle and Hum album?

[@nickkabbabe1953]

Completely agree...clearly it could have been the final song on the album.

[@thagoff]

not only that, it’d be the best song on the whole fucking album

[@mysticedge4]

Agreed this and bad or Sunday Bloody Sunday should’ve been on the album

[@dan2007kohn]

They all should have been on the album.

[@jasonedwardledburynewzeala9897]

A remastered boxset would be warranted for Fans. Some of there best ever live material.🎵🎵🎵😝🤘 The Tempe Concert and McNicols were great concerts.

[@notone4029]

THIS was when U2 was at THEIR BEST of ALL time!!! After Rattle and Hum, NOT so much!!! ❤ 80’-90’ early U2!!!

[@nickkabbabe1953]

Actually 90's U2 was the best U2 with Achtung Baby being their best album!

[@duncansutherland47]

Agreed, they “chopped down the Joshua Tree” in Bono’s words. The energy was different there after. They are still my favorite rock band of all time. I saw them live on this tour and the The Unforgettable Fire tour. They are in a class all by themselves, IMHO.

[@peytonmckie4886]

This song, this version is all about drums and bass. Mullen leading the way. Clayton locked in. The gravitational pull gets Edge and Bono. Masterpiece!!!

[@stephenrobinson9709]

Yea... Wasn't bad was it?!... 😂👌👌

[@TheresaKim]

I'm glad you notice that, too. Larry and Adam ensure they keep the right tempo. I hope Larry recoveries from his surgeries well.

[@tdog52436]

When Bono screams "Even the hands of love!" and the band explodes, it's just breathtaking. Sometimes I forget how great U2 is, take them for granted. This performance is a good reminder.

[@photonotavailable7936]

Sometimes I forget, not how great U2 is, but how great U2 was.

[@TKTnetwork]

They used to be great! Today they are dead!

[@nickytt0957]

People these days don't realize how good u2 were back then and no one could touch them for lyrics or performance awesome band

[@malcomjones2857]

U2 was awesome band. I still love listening to the old u2 . They had some incredible albums. Joshua tree was the best album ever!!!

[@thagoff]

if they retired after pop, they’d probably have the case of being the best band of all time.

[@TKY.24]

One of the best and hardest instruments to control is the crowd and when a band/musician can do that, then you know you’ve got one heck of a group

[@mysticedge4]

I played my first professional gig a while ago so I didn’t know how to crowd control 😂

[@TeamLNE]

I love that dude! Well said.

[@lincthomas7178]

U2 DEMANDS a performance unmatched, its u listen or leave!!

[@ohmyshupagirl]

their absolute PEAK performance form. goosebumps everywhere

[@jsheekey1]

I watch this first when I was 12 now I'm 45 🙈 Still Goosebumps!! They were Astounding back then 💕

[@tucosnoose]

Awesome, just awesome, so much better than the studio version

[@BacideOZONO3]

Always thought the same, the speed, this drum so accelerated gives another touch to this huge track

[@ernestosanchez453]

Im 50 and without any doubt my favourite band .....

[@FilipK635]

I was about 6 years old, it was New Year's Eve, and i was watching this concert with my dad. The best New Year's Eve in my life.

[@annabee148]

Filip Li love that

[@FerSpada]

MAYBE I WAS 5 ALSO WHIT MY DAD

[@michaelhathaway496]

This is so powerful! This was U2's peak.

[@photonotavailable7936]

+Michael Hathaway Exactly, this was their peak.

[@actung74]

+Michael Hathaway Peak?? Since Rattle and Hum there have been songs like ONE, BEAUTIFUL DAY, VERTIGO and EVERY BREAKING WAVE, just four of the many excellent tunes which have come in the last twenty five years.

[@NoName-cz3wn]

+Karl O'Connor Vertigo is an awful song. I think it's called All That You Can't Leave Behind, that was their last good album. Just my opinion, of course.

[@AlexaT86]

Yes, but Rattle & Hum is the absolute best, I think anyways! Last couple of albums sucked. I wouldnt even buy them.

[@paullessard6461]

2:45 Bono pretending to shred that guitar while Edge is making 105% of the sound.

[@gianlucabergamo6609]

If you look better you will see that he's trying to change some settings in the amplifier while he pretends to play that guitar...

[@GhostDrummer]

Bono is playing rhythm, Edge is playing lead.

[@nicknick1974]

Bono doesn’t really know how to play guitar.. he’s a showman.. he’s giving us a show... and he used to be the best at it.

[@nielssteffenssen8852]

Bono is trying to figure out how to activate his guitar 😄

[@conallen1]

No cheap gimmicks just the band, some light effects and Bono's amazing vocals! The charisma he has on stage, lord help me at Bono's peak was second to none except Mick Jagger or Jim Morrison.

[@Indiamood4love]

This remains the best live performance of Exit on film, goosebumps from beginning to end. One of my fave songs.

[@darrenarnold7759]

What a brilliant group.They are the only group i know of that can make live concert music sound better than the studio one.this is a very difficult thing to achieve and U2 do it with ease.Loved the joshua tree tour.

[@imatoaster7831]

darren arnold Linkin Park. Alice In Chains. Metallica(back in the 90s)

[@davidmarchewka394]

Pearl jam is another one who does

[@ST1973]

INXS

[@thagoff]

try pearl jam and radiohead. but yeah, u2 is up there.

[@davebaker7503]

Pink Floyd has entered the chat

[@brenner5147]

Edge is living my dream. I got time though, im 11, been playing guitar for a year and a half now.

[@LaporeFrank]

Brenner Plaehn I EXPECT TO SEE YOUR NAME IN LIGHTS

[@jdig1984]

Good lad keep at it

[@horsemanpit9704]

You've chosen the best. Be tough and smart, then you have a chance.

[@smurfu2]

+Brenner The Plane Stick in. I started playing the guitar when I was 14. Sadly lost the tendons in my left hand have not been able to play for 15yrs now. Could not have chosen a better band to inspire you. Good luck on your musical journey.

[@WR3ND]

Two words: Rhythm Emotion

[@paulatwell6226]

U2 has always been the soundtrack to my life.

[@jon_conn]

Crowd control to its finest. When he lifts his arms during the Gloria snippet. Man they knew, and still know what they’re doing. Brilliance.

[@sabrinadesiero]

Who's watching in 2019? Great Song..

[@catherinerainville4232]

Sabrina De Siero 2020!,

[@ST1973]

2020 here, fucking ROCK

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

The editing and cinematography in this is on point. Such energy and badassery.

[@theempire00]

tg72211 I know! It looks very cinematic. The black and white really adds something :)

[@stephaniekimmonteilh9031]

The angels breathed their rage into the lungs of Bono and their essence into the hands of The Edge!

[@jessicakunsminskas5158]

Love the fact that Adam is the one who controls what happens next in this song, most of times. Like in 2:07.

[@maddisonjohnson4308]

He's just so awesome

[@enaysee1972]

4 musicians at the top of their game

[@aballinghoff]

if I could witness one song live I would really consider making it this one

[@occdoc8883]

Who's watching in 2019? Great Song.. Best song ever 1987 "EXIT": this is the beginning of "GRUNGE ROCK"

[@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8]

Not even close to grunge. Even a few years afterwards, Bono said this quote during the early 90's ZOO TV tour in an interview in Tokyo, Japan: "and they're just leaving these white, comfortable, middle-class grunge kids behind"

[@paulorobsonlorenalima130]

​@@OVI-Wan-Kenobi-8 mesmo indiretamente eles podem ter influenciado um pouco as bandas de Grunge sim... O U2 é uma das mais influentes bandas dos últimos 40 anos.

[@adnanmemic5942]

This is real rock. Strong. Powerful. Bono, U2, time and space.

[@aujax1]

they had so much spirit and power then. like a spirit flowing through them.

[@CamilaJacksonS2]

yaaas!

[@romonasanders7029]

I think u2...Bono is one of the greatest singers there has ever been ..or will be. on top of being " Gorgeous " .

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

I absolutely adore the vocals in this song. The tone. The timbre. The range. The tempo. The peaks. The valleys... For my money this track showcases Bono’s voice better than any other song of theirs. There are few men in the history of rock that can pull this vocal off anywhere close to what he did here. There has never been a male rock vocalist not named Freddie Mercury who could touch his 1980s and 1990s vocals.

[@basehead617]

I used to get goosebumps at that first shot of the edge on the left of the screen playing the first guitar notes

[@toasybutter3344]

I still do, especially at the end of his solo in bullet the blue sky on this tour

[@vladimirrodriguez6382]

What a magnificent live version of Exit mixed with Gloria by Van Morrison

[@Mainrollman]

Songs like Exit and Bullet prove that when U2 want to, they can rock just as hard as any band on the planet. U2......one of the best bands of all time.

[@cel7927]

Best song ever

[@aviansoul]

That was HUGE!

[@ST1973]

Love simple and powerfull bass of the Adam on this song

[@FacultyBob]

brilliant musicianship

[@royvillalta6669]

Desde que la escuche en The Joshua Tree Álbum 1987, siempre me ha parecido la canción más pesada de U2, es la penúltima canción del Lado B del cassette!!! Vaya que tiempos aquellos!!!! La mejor banda, el mejor álbum, la mejor década en la historia de la música!!! Mis amados 80's!!!Saludos desde Costa Rica!!!

[@bigal5895]

My absolute favourite live track which prickles the hairs on the back of the neck. Mullen builds, anchors, and finishes beautifully!

[@veronikanasiadka2903]

I love this movie so much! It's what inspired me to start playing guitar and I could never be happier with it!

[@BentHestad]

brilliant!

[@TheKennyboy92]

This how you build a song that dynamics in this song are so brilliant.

[@jamesreinolds3968]

Great bass line,Adam rules!

[@arturocanas5295]

When my uncle Max, he was a Marines ( master sgt.) he was in Beirut during the 80s Guarding the ex American embassy over there . On his way back on the US ship U2 played . I miss you Maxito.

[@nonnimeme9670]

Edge killin´ that guitar!

[@MrScottiej23]

The Edge just fucking smashes this out of the park in this version. You can tell he's totally immersed in the song by the trance-like @ 1:03 .

[@KonstantinosRoukas]

Rock dynamite. Brilliant album.

[@kalsifher]

Best version ever

[@mikel2227]

+1, one of their very best. Made me buy the movie 😎

[@bonovoxportugal5696]

the best band ever u2 love this boys,,love from portugal ever u2

[@ssdivizion]

So hands that build Can also pull down The hands of love... Powerful lyrics,also one of the darkest,this is the most powerful song of U2,besides many others!

[@arroword]

Edge silhouetted on 2.30. fantastic image.

[@andrehoule8549]

brilliant! U2 has always been the soundtrack to my life.

[@123yoagan]

No One compares to the awesome U2

[@DeD00RS]

Interessant ist, dass es alles in Schwarz/Weiss gehalten ist. Atmosphärisch, mit Schattierungen, dunkel, geheimnisvoll, ein wenig gruselig, und dann 0:43 Edge mit der Gitarre - echt gut rübergebracht. Passender Song.

[@DAEAJ1]

My absolute fave of any live song. Ever

[@tonyconway7284]

The best most incredible version of any song anytime

[@patp8526]

Goosebumps

[@kosmocostanza8395]

Great song! We need more songs like this in the next album Songs of Experience

[@lorenzoalessandrelli8994]

U2 at top! Unbelievable

[@Gixxer19522]

such a masterpiece, love it

[@KManLeos]

I have always loved this version but after viewing a handful of performances from other shows on this tour I am only re-affirmed of this one’s magic. The color one from Sun Devil Stadium is great as well.

[@Miraclenorth]

本当にラトルアンドハムは名作❤カッコいい❤

[@joshuapeterson6072]

When I mourn the loss of Bono's guitar ability I think of this performance. Maybe not audio but visual.

[@giodeluca2673]

Absolute masterpiece 🎸

[@AlineNaturElle]

Love EXIT above all. ♥ Deeper into black, deeper into white...♥ Hands of love from France

[@DAEAJ1]

I wish I saw them back then Young, energetic and they sounded amazing

They were Amazing here 👏👏

[@openureyes]

Amazing tune

[@shanghaiffgg]

This song the best song of my life. 100% powerful

[@allisonbrown5396]

For me the Album that stands out as their finest is Rattle n Hum.

[@123yoagan]

BEST FUCKING BAND EVER!!! and best compilation of music videos and concerts!! long live U2, period.

[@quintrooseboomdevries4591]

....and then there are people who dare to say Edge can't play Rock 'n Roll (or even guitar at all.......). Yeah, right.....🤔

[@丸山康平-l2f]

なんでアルバムにこれとインゴットカントリーが無いんだろ。最高の3曲のうちシルバーアンドゴールドしか入らなかったのは何故。ラリーとアダムの演奏が素晴らしいこの曲のテンションがこのツアーの素晴らしいところ。古いソウルやブルースを ポストパンクの緊張感で再現する試みがヨシュアツリー期

[@allisonbrown5396]

I've been lucky enough to see these guys 3 times. First time 1984 in Sydney Australia. There isn't another band in the World that comes close to them.

[@theallalongthewatchtowerch5962]

I finally found it! Gloria, G - l - O- R- I -A, Gloria! That was frantic, creative, vibrant and powerful.

[@nickionescudeblazonick32]

What does Bono says after Gloria? I can't figure it out

[@austin8292]

@@nickionescudeblazonick32 it’s him spelling out Gloria. At least that’s what the lyrics say

[@diegocaballeroadillo38]

Esto es U2 en esencia pura , a pslo y sin efectos en una canción que en vivo es una auténtica pasada , Rock and roll !!!!

[@TurboJimbo]

“EVEN THE HANDS OF LOVE” !!

[@SXI96]

This is so sped up, but God what a powerful song, U2 was in it's prime during this and Achtung Baby, which essentially was tye sound of The Joshua Tree being cut down, brilliant!

Just singing the song with no commentary or changing of the lyrics. God I miss this U2 🥲

I was straining to hear The Edge' guitar solo. This wasnt quite loud enough for me in my headphones. I enjoyed watching but i wanted more sound. I enjoyed the video n ty.

[@IvanTheodoulou]

Love this version so much.

[@jacobthomas5414]

what an amazing band!

[@jimmytan9485]

This deserves a RSD release.

[@OPTIONALWATCH]

Revisiting this channel after 5 years. I was reflecting on the Rattle and Hum. This is a Joshua Tree album song and I remember feeling a bit disappointed with that album. I think it was more because Joshua Tree was so polarizing and Rattle and Hum could not equal such a masterpiece. One short anecdote is that I went to see Rattle and Hum at my local movie theater in 1988. I went during the day and had the theater room that was playing this movie all for myself. I enjoyed it very much, especially this live performance of Exit which to this day it is one of my favorites to watch. This song to this day gives me goosebumps.
