U2 "New Year's Day" FANTASTIC VERSION / Soldier Field, Chicago / June 4th, 2017

[@charliehustle1540]

I'm glad they finally decided to play the last verse of the song after all these years

My favorite and the best concert performance I have heard of this song, the original and the video are still the best. One of the greatest and most legendary bands of all time. Never get tired of them.

[@bradbarbarick2831]

Still never ceased to be amazed at how the Edge sings incredible background vocals, plays the piano & lead guitar all in this song. Dude is amazing. Have loved this song since I first heard it in 1983 at age 19...still loving it in 2020...

[@86FxBdyCpe]

Those were the good ol days for sure.

[@Racedoc]

The Edge is what attracted me to U2 when I heard them the first time in early 80s. Unbelievable talent!

[@niallodriscoll7377]

Adam Clayton has to be one of the best bass players around

[@deantaylor2736]

The Edge is U2 and what made me want to learn guitar

[@Rometiklan]

Wholeheartedly agree. The way The Edge switches back and forth between guitar and keyboard on this song is so cool. Bono having a harder time hitting those highs these days when he really needs to wail.

[@ArneList]

This is maybe the song, which founded the world fame of this band. Everlasting, timeless masterpeace.

[@RaulLopez-k3b7q]

It was the song with the lyrics say to me I will begin again….

[@capitanfuturo594]

That musical gem never goes out of style. it is timeless.

[@cathystruska1558]

I grew up listening to U2. They're fantastic! They have a lot of hits. They've been around a long time 😊🎉. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉makes my heart ❤ feel better when I hear their music 🎶 🎵. It will always live on. ❤

[@michaelallen1154]

Quite simply, one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. Everything is right. The rythm section, the innovative guitar sounds, the simple melodies of the keys, and the crying of the vocal pattern in tandem with some of the most existentially inquiring lyrics about society ever penned.

[@lancewolf2451]

U2 live is so close the studio recording..I appreciate that

[@JM_daDoc]

Still brings back memories of a night in 1993 in a fully packed rock cafe where there was no room for anyone sitting down, dancing to this song for the 3rd time that night at 0400am.... College years, but also that moment.... wonderful...

[@haydenwittig8877]

That piano part is so simple but incredibly powerful and everlasting. Never ages.

[@patriciaguth6882]

[@amerishape]

I continue to be astounded by the remarkable talents of The Edge, who effortlessly provides incredible background vocals, skillfully plays the piano, and masterfully handles the lead guitar, all within this captivating song. His abilities are truly extraordinary, and his versatility as a musician is truly awe-inspiring. Since the moment I first encountered this song in 1983, when I was a mere 19 years old, my admiration for it has remained steadfast and unwavering. Even now, in 2023, my love for this timeless masterpiece continues to flourish. The Edge's artistic prowess is nothing short of astounding, and his contribution to this composition is a testament to his enduring brilliance.

[@useritoo]

Incredible the sound of the bass!

[@MustangCollectibles]

The Edge is amazing; switching between the piano and guitar, what a performance, especially at the end!

[@artiebeard2588]

This is my all time favorite song. I got chills the first time I heard it and still do now. I love the whole version of this song. Edge played the guitar perfectly.

[@bonsummers2657]

Listen to the 1982 versions. C'mon now.

[@guadalupebaptista9757]

Chills down my spine. And I was there! Just reminiscing about it, and how awesome my beloved U2 sounded! Miss them!

[@jimjones2086]

This was the song that made me a U2 fan... Many years ago.

[@artiebeard2588]

Me too. I still get chills everytime I hear it. I have all their albums and everything I get my hands on.

[@gabialfaro1337]

Ese Bajo....marcó el ritmo de mi pulso por años.....y lo sigue haciendo....Amo esta canción!

[@carlosfrancisco6586]

Beautiful

[@dannymiles6503]

Will always be one of their greatest songs. I remember how it was back then when the first 2 albums came out. I was very fortunate to spend some time with them after they came with their minders to a small bar my friend owned and we were just closing. We just closed the doors and blinds and let them play pool and play music and i was DJ for most of the time until The Edge wanted to play some CDs. Still feels surreal now. Love this song always.

[@paulcondy5017]

It's now 2022 and I am still coming back to this song!

They still sound great! I saw them during the first Joshua Tree Tour at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia in September 1987. There were 100,000 fans in the stadium on that night. It was hands down the best concert that I have ever been to in my life.

[@jeffdearborn9675]

I was there. The crowd was singing "How Long" into the parking lots... I saw them in D.C. the week before and at the Meadowlands the week after. 14 times overall.

[@adamsasso1]

I saw them that year in NY, also the best show I’ve ever seen. Nothing has surpassed it. Saw them in Philly on the Zoo TV tour a few years later and even that couldn’t top it.

[@philjones8609]

Same tour. The Omni in Atlanta.

[@taj400]

I saw them in Chicago in 1987 at the Rosemont Horizon, it was the best concert for me also.

Nov. 1, 1987, the night the Dalton Brothers made a rare appearance and took up the slack for Los Lobos, in the Hoosier Dome!

Masterpiece........ this is one of the fewest best songs of my lifetime... that’s why U2 hit gold, ‘cos released a song as “New Years day” one day in 1983

The greatest song ever written and composed……A gift to all who hear and listen to the message of Edge U2.❤️

New Years Day 2021. Say it's true, it's true... And we can break through Though torn in two We can be one

[@habibhussain825]

I love the bittersweeet sentiment of this song, especially the line 'nothing changes on new years day', Live Forever by Oasis and Bittersweeet Symphony by the verve also carry the same sentiment,,,,you and i are gonna live forever...when no one actually does,,,,Plus 'you're a slave to money then you die.....'',,, a trio of bittersweetness...
