[@RyanVivian81]

U2 shows are the best. I've seen them 16 times. Incredible band, sound, stage and fans.

[@griesi31]

Same here, U2 fans are the best in every country. Every concert is like a happening every concert is extraordinary .

[@ILDomer17]

I echo the statement that the Rattle and Hum version is a must-view. So powerful. The version of Bad from that film is great too

[@brucenadeau5920]

my fav version of Bad comes off R&H!

[@Josh77600]

I agree. Love the version from Slane castle too!

[@coreygrange915]

Us Dublin crowds really get into our gigs. We REALLY get into it

[@coreygrange915]

also Noel Gallagher was supporting for this gig, was there for this concert. Unbelievable

[@reactionfan1448]

cheers David i attended this concert and had a great view of the band and have never missed U2 concert in Dublin since 1987

[@noahchamberlain9797]

I actually got to see them on this tour two days after Chris Cornell died. They played Black Hole Sun just before the song that played at the beginning here & man it was emotional. The whole stadium was singing, truly beautiful.

[@jasonkart1651]

You had it nailed. They had stopped playing it for a few years. This was the Joshua Tree anniversary tour. They started every concert with Larry Mullin Jr. Walking out alone and starting the song as each member joined separately. This particular show is in Dublin obviously from the title so the crowd reaction was amazing. Though the same tour the Boston crowd was also really hyped. Unfortunately as hard as I looked this was the best sound quality version I could find. Unfortunately none of them had good crowd angles. I thoroughly enjoyed the reaction and you nailed my reason for why I requested it!!

[@novanights2chevy597]

Thanks. I love this performance as well. But I prefer this multicamera edit. The sound is better too. The first six songs and more are great. I hope the link works. Cheers! kzbin.info/www/bejne/anKygqyphrB4bqM

[@frasermcampbell]

personally think you wasted 20 minutes of the guys life with that suggested version...especially when there is a fan created multi cam version of the same performance on youtube..

[@ILDomer17]

That song at the opening was "The Whole of the Moon" by The Waterboys. It will absolutely get stuck in your head. U2 makes very conscious choices about the song playing when they come out. I have a clear memory of Bowie's Space Oddity at the start of their shows in the 2000's

[@sueostrowski179]

The crowd was just as crazy in Boston when I saw them in 1987 on the Joshua Tree Tour. Bono had his arm in a sling. The crowd was singing Beatles songs full blast before they came on stage. U2 started playing with the Beatles recording when they came on stage.

[@peterjenkinson399]

If you would like to see a crowd sing before a concert. Watch the Greenday crowd at Hyde Park sing Bohemian Rhapsody.

[@christianreynolds9252]

I was there 👌 amazing gig. Started with Sunday Bloody Sunday , New Year’s Day , bad , pride , where the streets have no name , still haven’t found what I’m looking for , with or without you , bullet the blue sky. Who can possibly top that 😂😂 Must admit though when I saw that you was doing a review of Sunday Bloody Sunday live from Dublin I thought it was the official slane castle show recorded in 2001. Elevation tour. Trust me that version pisses all over this version from 2017 . The crowd are wild . 100 times better then that crowd I was in . Great review Noel Gallagher from oasis supported this tour 👍

[@mikestevens917]

UM, I think it has SOMETHING to do with what U2 is doing? They are the inspiration for te crowd's actions.

[@bocatampere]

Love this song 🤘❤️ Saw them first time 1982. Amazing experience.

[@MikeIsNexciting]

On the same tour, I believe, they played Blackhole sun before they came out, since Chris Cornell has passed away and the crowd belted that one out in unison as well -- a nice was to pay respects.

[@brettc190]

Always a fun time when you attend a U2 concert; I've been to 3.

[@kathleenandbruce]

Boy the people of Dublin sure love them and your right they're louder than Bono sometimes. Like you not a big U2 fan but that crowd is amazing and they definitely responded to them. This song is tolerable to me but they sure love it there. Was worth watching just to see the crowd.

[@viddiot]

U2 fans love a wide variety of music; they love music, they love to sing, seen them in many countries and the crowds have been unlike any others at Rock and Roll gigs. 'Live is where we live.' to quote Bono.

[@gorvnice]

This is interesting, being an audience camera angle. I mean, its not a good angle for the band--there are way better camera angles prob than this. And audio not good either. But it does give the feeling of being in the audience, which is what captured your attention.

[@terrahawk1977]

U not seen the green day crowd singing bohemian rhapsody 👍👍 it's nuts look it up. This is their home gig croke Park Dublin

[@AustinCDennis]

Highly recommend Streets from the same show. Jets flew over the stage with Irish flag colored smoke trails during the song.

[@Silber7]

On this Joshua Tree Anniversary stadium tour they started on that b-stage in the middle of the crowd (in the shape of the tree if seen from above) with songs older than that album - and with no lights or production effects too. Made the impact when the full performance of the album started with Where The Streets Have No Name while the HD LED screen (the whole brown back here!) lit up bright immensely impactfull!

[@lew1689]

I was there. Larry's drums beat the crap out of you. Amazing work

[@workingwithpaul]

"Exit" is the song they stopped playing live. The actress Rebecca Schaeffer was murdered and the murderer said he played the song over and over before murdering her. Listen to the song on The Joshua Tree, then watch the performance of the song on "Rattle and Hum."

[@stevesmith4600]

The song I clearly a song about war (it's from their album: War). The put the breaks on doing it live, as it's emotional take on troubles in Ireland, and they started feeling like people were wanting to hear it as a classic song and not really connecting to its emotional meaning. From time to time, they've put it back on for live performances if/when something from a world events perspective occurs and links back to the intent of the song. I think they'd rather not play the song, not because they dislike it, but because it means that something messed up is going on.

[@brucenadeau5920]

One of the first songs I learned to play on guitar and one of the easiest solo's BUT a kick ass solo imo, simple and sweet.

[@citycobra5014]

From U2 i like mostly the older (The Joshua Tree; great Album) and way older Songs like "Pride" (aka in the name of love), "New Years Day", "Gloria" and of course this one: "Sunday Bloody Sunday". i could here before you stopped that after this song "new years day" is the next one, i should look this live perfomance up. Thanks David for bringing this live perfomance to my attention!

[@FredericoRoberto]

I saw this concert live! :) They didn't play it live from 88 to 97 (when they soft-brought it back). They just wanted to let go of the very 'Christian rebel activist' vibe they were known for. And that's exactly what happened with the cynical Zoo TV tour era. If you want to check SBS live, check the early days, 83-85 for raw energy.

[@matthewrandom4523]

U2 is an Irish band, from the republic of Ireland, as everybody knows. But one of the topics they often sang about is The Northern Ireland conflict - the dumbest and most unnecessary thing in Europe. How long, how long must we sing this song?

[@justincredible.]

The red rocks version (under a blood red sky, video version) is *awesome*

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

uff, what an absolute gem in insane quality!....isnt it? just for the memory of Joshua Tree tour late 80s, loved them live over here in Munich and Frankfurt, thats not giving them the respect they deserve in my opinion. the recap is on point witrh my thaughts, i just talk of this video......

[@pekkahorttanainen8812]

One tone lower than the original, I think. Bono is human, after all. U2 was my favourite band until 2000 or something (and naturally everything they made until then are on my permanent playlist).

[@taylordutto9962]

Seen people sing along to Warpigs almost whenever it plays 🤘

[@chaaaaaaaaaarly]

Hi David! I have just found your channel, seen some of your videos, and I think your reactions, reviews, etc..are really good, very objective. You analyze the issues with precision and give a detailed explaination about your reasons and puntuation and that's great!! If you want to expand your mind a little more, hear and see a different thing that will blow your mind, please...check out the Spanish Rock band "Heroes del Silencio". Probably songs " Maldito duende" or "entre dos tierras". It doesnt matter if the videoclip or any live version of them. You wont be dissappointed. I PROMISE!!! Thanks in advance!!!

[@THEDavidHeretic]

FEELIN' YOU Carlos!!! Glad you found us, and I'm glad to hear you are enjoying the channel. Just a heads up, all official requests need to be made on the Patreon page as a Bronze Tier member or higher.

[@chaaaaaaaaaarly]

@@THEDavidHeretic oohhh!! I didn't know it!!¡ well, in the meantime you could consider my request as an "unofficial" request!!!!! Can't wait to see your reaction to the most incredible rock band in spanish with one of the best singers in the world!! 🤟 p.d: thanks for your quick and kind reply. Greetings from Spain!

[@luismellado8106]

If you want to see crowds like that I recommend you react U2's Mofo at Pop Mart tour live un Mexico City, it's in a high quality video and audio. Bono once said that they put in the maximum volume because they cound't ear each other as they where playing the songs also his one of the top 5 favorite concerts and nomber 1 of the films that U2 ever done.

[@luismellado8106]

[@queenierani3076]

Love love love SBS.... Epic song

[@roycroftki5358]

We are a nation who like a good singalong.

[@deeko1973]

Every gig I’ve ever been to the crowd sings the songs playing before the band comes out lol.. maybe it’s a UK thing 🤷‍♂️ Btw a better performance of this song is in the Rattle & Hum film - worth a watch for comparison. Was recorded on the day of a bombing in a town in Ireland so was a highly charged emotional performance. This was the thing you were referring to when you said they didn’t want to play it again for a number of years after that performance as they didn’t think they could do it justice after that one. Here’s a link if you want to have a look: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5m5hnWid8-JrJY

[@grungetea]

Who is the genius that sent you a mobile recording performance? For god sake.

[@Spetsnaz--21]

Reacting yo any song that's live is to me a very odd choice.. let alone a live performance shot with a cell phone and not like a professionally recorded one.

[@goldenhourkodak]

Definitely not a mobile phone, the zoom is too good.

[@heyskipj]

not to take anything away, but isn't sound quality/mix on most amateur vids inconsistent? Plus, that the crowd is so loud and engaged IS a testament to U2 for putting in the work over the years.

[@anthonymotta8264]

You have to do U2 Until the End of the World its a great rock song and it has an epic guitar solo

[@farrken]

Thanks for the reaction! However, I don't think you're correct about them eliminating the song from their live performances. This song has always been a staple of their live reportoir and a crowd favorite. I can't think of a concert where it was not played.

[@AustinCDennis]

Most of the Zoo TV shows don't include the song. Early in Zoo TV they omitted any songs from the first 3 albums from the set.

[@frasermcampbell]

yip they did stop playing it. they did not feel it was appropriate after the version in Rattle and Hum... it took them to later in POP tour to bring it back in the set as a stripped down version with the Edge

[@tomthetom1956]

Wouldn't cross the street to see them and I'm from Ireland.

[@goldenhourkodak]

That blows my mind

[@claff88]

Sunday bloody Sunday @slane castle is the best

[@eoyguy]

U2, Red Rocks. That is all.

[@darrenkoglin3423]

I rekn there take of the electric co live at the red rocks is frikn awesome an I believe u would luv to listen&react

[@andreagruber5813]

Well, welcome to Ireland DH. I am not that surprised to be honest. It is in Dublin, half of the actual band is from Dublin. This means, as I came here to stay longer then "only for holidays", I realised, that they even sing a long to songs they love (for all U2) when they "only" do their groceries. I am not kidding. One of the reasons, why I love Irish. But might be, that they are in the South of Ireland (County Cork and Cork City) different. Still, it happened again and again as I was in supermarkets and someone would at least whistle do it. Further than that, I agree completely, they are an amazing crowed to have and they are proud about this Irish band, that is for sure and why not? U2 is anything else but a bad band. 😉 Was just finishing one of my jobs, loaded it up and in came that reaction, so I could not resist. Thanks for it David and have a nice weekend. ❤️

[@Jamesfoster48]

If you’ve never seen a crowd singing along to the warm up songs, then you’ve clearly never been to the UK 😉 It’s very common over here

[@ПетрПетров-о9ь3ь]

Not the best live version , brother ) Watch they live performances in South America - Where is really Wow !) But I love all your reactions of u2 :) Thank you

[@pampa4375]

react to, I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight. U2 360 Rose bowl

[@justincredible.]

The are singing louder because this was recorded in the crowd.

[@brucenadeau5920]

I saw U2 on the Elevation Tour back in the early 2000's and Sunday Bloody Sunday was played back then. There is a LOT of U2 Lore out there, a lot of it bull crap.

[@ChristopherMarshburn]

Not surprising at all. This band is a national institution. Sorry rock fans but the greatest rock band of all time isn’t English but 100% Irish 🇮🇪
