U2 - Peace On Earth, "SHUT UP!" @Sphere 2/18/24

Epic! Bono gives an emotional "Evening Sunday Service" before performing a beautiful version of Pease on Earth. With Edge solo bit!
U2:UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere

[@irenegriego2446]

Well done U2,❤we need peace on earth

[@SomeGuyNamedRobb]

i freakin Love this guy.

[@freddyrivera]

I see what he did there... lol good to acknowledge BOTH sides. Well done, Bono.

[@johngrohs8031]

Man, the surprise songs just keep on coming, Do They?. Don't Dream It's Over is awesome and so is Love Rescue Me. Don't get me wrong, but i'd rather see this song be played in this tour knowing that there are four shows left. Also glad to see that Bono told someone to shut up who was heckling at 1:12. I think that's the second time that somebody interrupted a Sphere Show. But anyway Bono and Edge did this song in Full. I know it was done Full Band in the Elevation Rehearsal on the third leg, but they only did this song abbreviated 3 times in the tour before Walk On. Now it makes me wonder Walk On should be the next to be played. But I can't see it be played with 4 shows left. This tour has been everything that I ever expected and although i've never been to Vegas and i've listened to these songs. I think they've put on quite an impressive tour set. They've played City of Blinding Lights, When Love Comes To Town, Pride, I Still Haven't Found, Shallow, Rainy Night in Soho. Love Rescue Me. Seconds. Two Hearts & Sunday Bloody Sunday and now this song. And I think it was well deserved. I love the duet between Bono and Edge together too.

My son w/b at the final show. He is a faithful fan too. He is known as Tattoo Dan. I have been a fan since 1981,saw them in a small venue & dreamed of meeting Bono.My son was brought on stage in 2001 & the rest is history. In 2005 Bono sang With or Without You to me for my 52nd birthday at their show in Hartford.Dream come true for me. I love this song,glad to hear it here. After 9/11 Bono opened with this during the live tribute they did in London. Still moves me because the words still ring true.God Bless U2.

[@fishygill]

When Bono told them to "Shut Up", they sure did 😮 During his emotional point, it was not a moment to whoop and holler! Great to hear this song again...

[@jco6528]

right! He was telling them there are no sides, stop cheering.

[@KellyB-m4b]

I was watching a video for this, they were being so loud before this it was hard to hear them talk. They were talking over him, so yeah!

[@YaldaZadah]

So you noticed the suffering of the Palestinian children only after you saw the suffering of the Israeli children? Then you weren’t looking were you? As an Irish man you should KNOW better.

[@Mugdorna]

Well in fairness the Oct 7th attack took place before the IDF assault in Gaza. I'm an Irishman, and shamed that he didn't call for a ceasefire before February.

[@mariannekhos9571]

Don’t dream it’s over was epic. U2 killed it

Wow to hear Bono say shut up!

[@Stereotype23]

That was actually chilling.

[@jco6528]

ya, at first I was like what? Then I understood what he was doing, there are no "sides" we are all on the same side. Humanity. ☮♥

[@davidgbuckley5306]

He's the one who should shut up - cheering on the Israelis, singing about the star of David in the Sphere. Despite some brilliant work in his early years, Bono has descended into being nothing more than a star for the establishment.

As a 17 year old girl from Israel, which U2 are an inseparable part of my life for the past year🩷 I do pray in my heart with them that there will be peace soon and things will get better. Bono is such a intelligent man, his words are so wise💜 Love U2 so much❤️ my favourite band. forever!❤️

[@noel8537]

I'm a 17 year old girl from America! I saw the show on January 31st, and met three Israelis while waiting in the GA line. Such an incredible experience. God sees you and Loves you, don't lose hope ❤️

[@carmel_kli.8]

@@noel8537 wow, I’m surprised that there were Israelis in Las Vegas on January since it’s not really safe for us in the world right now. Although I totally understand that, who can miss U2 preform?😂 I always love to meet other young U2 fans since there aren’t many, so nice to meet you!!!💖 Also, Thank you so much for those kind words!🩷

[@noel8537]

I was honestly so surprised too! And yeah, like NO ONE my age likes U2 at all. I literally don't get it lol😂 I tried to play my friend Lemon the other day and she was like what in the world🙄 oh well haha. Hugs from the other side of the world ❤️❤️❤️

[@brainsmoothy]

yeah man, that was my favorite speech he ever has made. first of all, obviously, a mad bono/paul (more often now, which he's 60 something. ok.) is the kind of bono you want at a political thing. Later, in someplace, nowhere, bono is taped all pissed off by the record company on the phone in the jet, so he's pumped and delivers an empasioned speech, holy shiit. If you walk away for president I'll vote for you, good sir (think you can use "i will follow" in that sense by the, that phrase and the other original lyrics make a great blues tunes.) but right on. I've never heard it before. things are looking up for my birthday. rockin in the world there is to do now peace on earth may we have

[@ryanbuckley2288]

No WAR! That was always the point. No more , no less...

[@menahan3197]

Beautiful, thanks for sharing❤️

[@CarSVernon]

I really hate that Bono has to deal with this, and with his unhinged countrymen. Rich or not wouldn't want to be him for a second.

[@Mugdorna]

"Unhinged countrymen"? His countrymen have had peace since 1998. I'm a son of Ulster. I grew up with army checkpoints, bombscares and death on the evening news most days. The peace may be fragile but its holding, and those who dislike peace are losing support each and every day.

[@martakozakova5010]

[@dougprobyn5957]

NO not the place. YOU shut up Bono! Roger Waters!

[@tonygahan2171]

To see the suffering of the Palestinian children was almost too much?? Not sure I understand shouldn’t it be just too much This is the problem with rich celebrity’s when they won’t call out the politicians directly it keeps happening

[@briteness]

Boo Bono. Your preaching is not appreciated.

[@shanequastunningbrave5376]

Most wars have been started by people that Bono calls friends

[@at716JA]

You can’t work peace deals without working with people who are keeping peace from happening. The guy is willing to talk w all sides because you need to. And he also knows all people are sinful - so everyone anyone - anyone - gets power they will misuse it.

Thanks GOD because this terrible “drummer” don’t fuck also this amazing song.

[@Horizon344]

Joshua died before kow-towing before malevolent power, Hewson did so just to avert its ire. It won't do him any good, it'll now say he's insincere & just did it to appease it, which will increase its hostility toward him by adding contempt into it. Trying to curry favour by waffling about Ulster as some sort of 1/2 witted excuse for not kow-towing earlier made things even worse.

This is still a cheesy terrible U2 song. Sorry.

[@adelbertomuggler372]

It was great then, as was the whole album and it of course still is today, unlike their newest songs which are terrible

Indeed. But the sentiment is nice. Only a sociopath doesn't wish for 'peace on earth'

in about 40 shows in 2023 / 2024 Bono preached about 10 mins in total.. so give him some slack.. :-)

@@doubleplatinumdj2456 I’m not American thankfully. Trump is a con man, a creep, and doesn’t pay his bills. He made your country a LAUGHING STOCK, devalued the office of the president forever. If he gets into office again he will hand the Ukraine to Russia and Taiwan to China. Biden has the economy better than ever, more jobs than ever AND won’t sell the USA out to dictators.
