Holy shit. The legendary Sarajevo concert. I read about it in the U2 biography and looked for a recording of it years ago but there was nothing, so thank you for uploading this. Bono may struggle with his voice, but his spirit is high. The atmosphere must have been incredible for this war torn country to enjoy a rock concert. To have fun, to sing, to dance, to simply let off some steam from their stressful day to day life. A special gig indeed.

It is to this day that I have not experienced such a surreal thing. The people that were there will know how much of an impact this whole concert was, furthermore them playing it with Brian Eno on stage... It is 1:46:25 when I can really see myself (my head at least) frozen on my feet taking in this energy... Thank you for posting this video. Honestly. Other songs that kicked ass were Bullet the blue sky, Please, and One. I have not been to their concerts before or after... It might just end like that... Deep bow boys...

And it seemed like the coolest thing ever, immune to the fact I was getting ripped off 😆 Bono soldiers through despite his bum vocal cords. You can hear the moment it totally goes out when he foolishly tries to get loud during New Years Day at 32:10. And wow, during Pride you realize how much Edge is capable of sounding like Bono when he puts a little steam into his own voice. Many thanks to the uploader!
