U2 - Peace On Earth/Walk On (from "America: A Tribute to Heroes")

[@tracyb64]

This live version performed for healing and raising fund for victims after 9/11 soars way past the studio version in my opinion. Especially the way the band and back up singers switched out the chorus with the hallelujah chant! So much energy vs the recorded version that sounds very restricted. You can tell this band was meant to be heard LIVE!

[@Matkin222]

Absolutely one of the best versions they ever did.

[@eweb4949]

❤

[@mysticedge4]

They did this at 2am in London they all look so tired but give off so much energy this is why U2 is my favourite band for life

[@PhilBurles]

Yeah they did it twice 2 a version for top of pops for the single walk on

[@speedbrain222]

i remember the somberness. we were all just so shocked to our core that something on that scale could occur. when i heard him say 'hello from London' i knew the world deeply pitied us & their hearts were with us. was such a comfort at the time

[@eweb4949]

❤

[@rebeccamalato8656]

Nearly 20 years later and this powerful performance hits me in the feels like the first time I saw it on TV after 9/11.

[@FlowBroVR]

R.I.P to EVERYONE that died on that tradgic day :,(

[@sonjalh]

Here I am in 2022 and suddenly started thinking about this version that leads with Peace on Earth. It’s just as beautiful as I remembered ❤🥺

[@monikarupprecht7655]

An eternal gift to humanity - thank you guys 🫀

[@andremcmahon3926]

This is undoubtedly the best version of Walk On. I love how they combine the two songs, and the hallelujahs at the end hit different. Pure perfection! 4:09

[@racializedkanadian]

I agree. I saw it when it originally aired, and this version is still king.

[@jeffoliver2298]

This was filmed at 2.15am in the morning in a studio in London, and broadcast live on American television.

[@ania777]

I remember watching it in the middle of the night as a kid.

[@stephentate5076]

We need this now.

[@menardpaul13]

That's how you really know their professionalism but also at the same time the Heart they put in it.

[@Nhnhnfk]

The backing vocals are really lovely. Bono's voice sounds like it's on the brink of giving out constantly but what a great performance.

[@i40329]

John Doe Bono sings so much better than Tom Araya

[@hartwichlaw]

Remembering this show nearly 18 years later now. Still so moving.

[@jameskeyes9112]

Only people who remember the times can understand how powerful this performance was. Say what you want about Bono and his ego, but U2 and Bono love the USA, and they followed it up with a killer performance @ the February Super Bowl only a few months later. Right before he left the stage, he revealed the lining of his leather jacket: An American flag.

[@qwertymcqwert7066]

I'm from just down the road from the places they grew up in dublin and I have ti say,that was a pretty badass moment,especially considering the climate...that was a time where a.erica was the promised land for us irish and a lot of the world...its hard to figure a y one thing that went wrong,when did we all become so divided,so hateful of our own culture...even bono now is kinda ghey

[@fab2263]

I still get chills when I watch this. So powerful.

[@fakeedge901]

This is an insanely good performance!

[@PressStartOnce]

Amazing version and if I remember right that was Natalie Imbruglia in the middle of the 3 backup singers.

[@MrAngelDevilSoul]

Yes it was her

[@LPManic]

And Edge's wife on the right.

[@robbiekerkhof]

Beautifal song and so True at this moment . I hope someday the pain stops and people can be in peace no matter what color ore relegion you have. Life is a gift please love and peace❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@thomasscullion5812]

One of my all time favourite performances

[@evanmichael3153]

Still hits as hard as it did a week & a half after 9/11. An absolute mecca version! 🤟❤️🤟

[@Mikeyytj]

how could anyone dislike this video?!?!

[@johnmoore2639]

Making the hairs in the back of my neck stand up since 2001

[@motelgeorge]

Just amazing, they are the greatest!

[@TheBlueskyson]

Great to see Ringo starr on 2nd guitar! wow. ty 4 vid

[@CoachRocks]

It's Dave Stewart from Eurythmics

[@rebeccaczigler5844]

Amazing, amazing grace!

[@PhilBurles]

Bloody voice of a god!!

[@SOYCD99]

This is the period when they hired Ringo Star as rhythm guitarist.

[@RandyR]

A very appropriate song for now. ✌️😒

[@Themanwhocameback2]

I haven't seen this in over 20 years! I remember the second I saw Bono with a guitar and dressed somberly that we were not going to have his usual "Hey Look at Me" performance. And his mentioning his wife in the coda is as touching now as it was then..

[@ginamosier1455]

U2...my heart ❤️ 💙 💜 B man! Walk on...

[@spanishtranslator]

Incredible power in voice and guitar strings !

[@airdriver]

A couple of things about this performance. 1) When Bono says,"Hello from London" he was breaking one of the biggest rules of appearing on this telethon which was not revealing where the performers were at because of security measures. No big deal, I just thought I'd mention it. 2) I was a U-2 fan back in the 80's but became disillusioned by their change in musical direction in the 90's. When I heard this version of Walk On, I thought,"They're finally back."

[@YourLoyalDeserter]

London's a pretty big place. He didn't reveal where the studio actually is.

[@imxcky7257]

The studio was at BBC Television Centre. I think the reason U2 was in London as due to a double booking situation when U2 was on Top Of The Pops on that day too. It's was 2am when this performance went out.

[@InsaneGamersOfficial]

Yes, that's the TOTP set at the time (You can see the video screen behind them) but obviously they removed the TOTP logos. They won't be at TVC though, from Nov 91 to Oct 2001 TOTP wasn't broadcast from TVC. So I think this was filmed at the Riverside studios.

[@diogorodriguescampos3496]

Indiscutivelmente a melhor banda do mundo

[@janekellie3472]

Sometimes, We Forget To Let Go ..But however Hard or Hurtful It May Be, If you want to move forward with your life, we have to swallow A Bitter Pill Of Life..And Walk On

[@alvarovelascocabello8787]

[@kyliepollert8341]

Anyone notice the first 6 seconds are from "I Still Haven't Found..."? I've always noticed that

[@therainbowcodebook]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@fabiochinca973]

Natalie Imbruglia what a beatiful woman

[@edge032]

Watched the live broadcast 23 years ago…

[@baronbayne9899]

It’s SUCH a good performance of this song. Better than the studio version imo. More power and more rocking, and a bit more layered probably because of the 3rd guitar player whoever he was. George Michael?

[@Keithphotorama]

There are great bands and U2 is definitely one of them, but there will never be The Best Band! Otherwise there would never be great songs!

[@NicolasVanhove]

4:25 isn't that Edge's wife?

[@rachelcid9323]

Yes, it is! It's Morleigh :)

[@eddunne4190]

Fxxking incredible LIVE people that’s how it’s done

[@TheFlyingExperience]

she will not get home sister - rip

[@IsmailFahmi882]

The backing vocal looks like Natalie imbruglia

[@fylyp]

That's Natalie Imbruglia indeed, singing along with The Edge's wife Morleigh Steinberg and a French musician called Medi (Mehdi Parisot)

[@Mordecai06]

In those days Natalie Imbruglia and Sharleen Spiteri were the 2 prettiest women in the world.

[@fabiosantos3672]

😮😮😮

[@Amy-u2n7g]

saw ground zero two weeks after the attack. It was so quiet, almost kind of an eeiry silence. It was unforgettable. Didn't cry or even fully process it for about 5 yrs. When it hit me in 2006, l recalled a snipert l watched from a TV program that had sound. What sounded like shots firing was actually New Yorkers jumping to their death after being trapped above the floors where the first place hit. They choose to commit suicide instead of burning alive. It was a day of such pure evil. Those towers were built way too high!

[@herbalife7040]

Beautiful day someday in Palestine...😢 Free Palestine!!!free...free...palestine❤❤❤🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸 peace on earth of GAZA😢😢😢

[@i40329]

Who is the other guitarist?

[@kellycarey9534]

It's Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5awd6ShmLWMmck

[@kyliepollert8341]

I didn't know that he was in this video. The same Dave Stewart who co-wrote "Don't Come Around Here No More" with Tom Petty. He's the one in the dark glasses

[@markzappasodi]

Dave Stewart, formerly of Eurythmics.

[@thomasmills339]

I don't know if they realize it but singing hallelujah at the end was a powerful choice..in the Hebrew Bible it means " praise god" and Christians use it too. They are singing it with almost joy in their hearts...the exact opposite of how those animals were bastardizing islam by saying " Allahu Akbar" while killing people

[@matheuscardosodasilva6163]

Still waiting for Bono make a song for the iraq people murdered by the us troops under the false accusation of mass destruction weapons.

[@richatlarge462]

Still waiting for Saddam to let the UN inspect for the presence of WMD.

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Ahhhh the good old days... Back when Bono could still sing and I was still foolish/naïve enough to believe they were authentically altruistic instead of the venture capitalist establishment propagandistic pro-war hypocrites they have disappointingly exposed themselves as being the past 24 years.

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Gosh Natalie Imbruglia was such a smoke-show. Edge’s wife isn’t bad either. I have no clue who the guy is. But he’s cute too.

[@wandafischetti1186]

SO MUCH LOVE FROM U2 ALWAYS!

[@wandafischetti1186]

MY BIG LOVE FOREVER!
