U2- Space Oddity (Intro), Even Better Than The Real Thing - LIVE 360° Tour Chicago July 5, 2011

[@jimjordan3015]

Was at the Baltimore show, one of the greatest entrances I've ever seen.

[@davefitzgerald5334]

Our ambassadors to Ireland. Bono is just SO gifted !!

[@janman1331]

David...so missed...You were and still are to me not a superstar, but a meta-star, in the Greek prefix sense of the term

[@Mark-ir9gl]

I have been to a lot of u2 concerts starting at the Joshua Tree just seen the Sphere on KZbin and blown away can't wait to see in real life 😮😮😮👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@gdaig203]

Was in Pittsburgh for the final show on the tour. Brought my 2 teenage daughters with me. To this day they love David Bowie and U2. I’ve seen dozens of major acts. This may have been the best entrance ive seen. Ive seen U2 a bunch of times. I thought thus was better thN zooropa

[@checkout4me]

[@happyicecream1234]

I could watch every video of this opener a million times over. I was about 10 feet from Bono and the boys, myself - unreal night. Thanks very much for posting!

[@MrCoweir]

Same spot but in Amsterdam and Frankfurt. What an entrance!

[@Les342]

Thanks for helping me relive the best day of my life! The concert was amazing, needless to say, but hanging out and talking to the other people in the general admission line was fun too! The guy in line right ahead of me had done GA before and told me that once you go GA, you never go back and he was right. Can't wait to do it again next tour!

[@chiphx0788]

hey, i see me in this video! Great Video btw...and the concert was fantasic like every u2 concert is...they truly know how to put on a great show!

[@BefuddledRockStarFan]

Awesome! I was in the second row in front of The Edge. BEST U2 show I've seen!! Thanks for posting! :)

[@BCNation1]

I LOVE U2!!!!!!!:DDDDDDDDDDD

[@Layla2100]

I was there too! amazing band, amazing show and amazing night! thank you for uploading!

[@oZoneIV]

The song is : Space oddity by David Bowie

[@supersonicbird11]

Some one knows a classic :) Jesus lol

[@JuniperLamplight16]

Does anybody here know who made Space Oddity? It was David Bowie. I might also add that the title is a bit misleading as this is not a performance, but a broadcast of the actual song. It says "U2- Space Oddity (Intro), Even Better Than The Real Thing", but it is the real thing, only played over a loud speaker as an intro for when U2 ascends the stage. It does sound very ambient though because of the whole stage environment.

[@deadmau5tv823]

U2

[@BCNation1]

JUST PURE AWESOME!!!:DDDDD

[@k2197]

3:14 = awesomeness in its purest form

[@BCNation1]

I LOVE U2!!!!!:DDDDD

[@cjbc1208]

@stickfigures10 We were in the Red Zone, and we got there around 4pm. It was an amazing concert, and we were glad to have such an incredible spot!

[@bonofigo7777]

el mejor concierto es el de mexico

[@cjbc1208]

@6477bgwu Thanks! I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 - there's a newer version of the camera out now, though. It's a great point & shoot for both photos & HD video.

[@cjbc1208]

@JuniperLamplight16 If you read the description of the video (not the title), then you'll notice that David Bowie is referenced as the performer of Space Oddity. That song was the intro played as U2 entered the arena, as you mentioned. Even Better Than The Real Thing is the name of the song that U2 played live as their opening song, and it starts at 2:05 in the video. That's really the real thing.

[@gotzolones]

Lo mejor de U2 son los 4 primeros discos , hasta 1986. Con los discos Boy , October, War y Unforgettable Fire. Luego se comercializaron y se enlataron. Perdieron la frescura y la rebeldia.

[@DarkAcrobat]

Totalmente equivocado, sus mejores discos son Joshua Tree y Achtung Baby

[@gotzolones]

Bueno, para gustos los colores. Seguramente yo sea de una quinta anterior a tí y con lo que se crece se tiene más complicidad. Una cosa es clara . A partir del 4º 0 5º pasarón a ser conocidos por el gran publico. Hasta entonces los discos suyos recuerdo que los traían algunos de Inglaterra o en petit comité.

[@bakugan4389]

@cjbc1208 i was at this concet! awesome day!

[@KevinSmith-wp9qs]

U2 wishing they could write something as great as Space Oddity, what an anti climax after a song like that to have to listen to their bang average stuff.

[@ThisNamesNowTaken]

dude good image. id ask what you used but its answered already

[@GQOfficial]

when i went in 09, they did breathe.... im so jealous now, we got tickets to go again, but bono broke his back and we never got tickets again...

[@rockstopsthetraffic]

I know it's like 8 years later, but those tickets from 2010 were valid for the rescheduled concerts in 2011.

[@BlackCatBCB]

What is the name of the opening song?

[@JuniperLamplight16]

I wasn't freaking out, just stating what I experienced reading the title. *there's* *for* Just sayin', you might wanna get that language fixed, I almost didn't get what you were saying there.

[@tonewheel]

Bono - just so full of himself...

[@mchlbk]

+tonewheel Yes. Right wing religious nutter.

[@supersonicbird11]

@@mchlbk too bad - talented - yet over rated Including their shite hotel in Dublin :/ yikes

[@dlite6999]

Sound techs failed U2 here miserable sound failure 😢
