U2 - The Blackout

[@margaretsch.3609]

World to U2: Keep giving us songs that highlight Adam's bass as this song does, thank you. (Along with all other shining features that are so well known!)

[@bwaynekitchens7039]

Sooo much better than the album version😎

[@markholohan4446]

This is way better than the album version.

[@isaiahsmithproductions9866]

The bass line on this song is killer!

[@adamatincul2618]

Totally agree! Outstanding!

[@mr.kadono1637]

Ohh yesss

[@Manudyne]

It makes me wet

[@catherinechurko4041]

Perfect for this song!

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Yes!

[@adamatincul2618]

I so adore Bono's voice when he sings the line "When the lights go out!" Sounds so crystal clear! They're still rocking- U2 the legends!

[@catherinechurko4041]

His voice still *has* it, as well as the rest of the band! This a fantastic song!

[@WHYtheband]

Love this version so much more than the album version. So good!

[@PastorinoOlivier]

U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5epZZqLdsRpqLM

[@catherinechurko4041]

I forgot there was *this* version. The album is excellent but this is *Smokin'*! Love the vid, too!

[@dannycalifornia4983]

U2 are a whole different breed when it comes to live music. They do it the best.

[@paulharrisonadventuregearm5457]

Not as good as the red hot chili peppers.

[@raoninery]

only thing this clip is not a live performance tho...

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

This is soooooo much better than the version they included on the album. What were they thinking??

[@margaretsch.3609]

“What we had is not coming back.”

[@CordeauxG]

It would be pretty special seeing U2 play big tunes like this in a small club venue.

[@mrgaslight]

This live version is so much better than the album version. I wish U2 would stop over producing their music. Adam's bass in this is raw and dirty - they should have kept it that way! I want to hear an album from them that's stripped back and almost live. That's what 'Songs of Experience' should have been. U2 are best live and still the best live band I have ever seen.

[@alessioalfonzetti1113]

Search for achtung baby outtakes

[@catherinechurko4041]

Think it's one of their best! Powerful, and a bit eerie. Considering the lyrics cut makes sense. Glad I caught it live Edges wailing guitar puts it over; but they mesh it wonderfully together.

[@catherinechurko4041]

And that's like 45 years on. That's superb, lasting talent.

[@antoniofombuenavidal9150]

Que maravilla!❤❤❤

[@DavidOakesMusic]

I *LOVE* the way Bono sings Brother at 1:18. Just screams U2 to me. I don't know why. It's just classic.

[@stevencollins7186]

Mate, me too !!! But also this part 2:22 for me. He expresses peace.

[@brandonmoore7497]

U2 Blackout is one of my favorite song

[@jazamora2053]

as old as they are, they still make better proper rock songs like this than most rock bands these days.

[@pugtales]

And Adam with the bass and Larry with the drums. Fuck,this song is perfect

[@Ahmad-ic1er]

adam's bass is mind blowing ❤️😍😍

[@LillyKoppMusic]

YASSSSS!

[@thecatsmeow1977]

We just saw them live and the bass for this song was unbelievable...you could feel it deep in your chest. Amazing show!

[@christianwright4437]

it is funny cuz the edge wrote it for him but he definitely made it better

[@JorgeFilipeTakeda]

You may see an Irish band. I see LEGENDS

[@buttermanex2002]

I see both

[@nickkabbabe1953]

@Natmanprime No all four are super talented. Bono is Irish and his lyrics over a 40 year career stand comparison with almost anyone else's.

[@habibhussain825]

They can be Irish and legends..the two are not mutually exclusive...

[@wishicouldshowmyname5815]

They have been my legends since 1983. Glad we agree. Life needs more of it, yeah? My life would have different without them. God speed U2 and you.

[@tranthuyduong]

Since young age of listening to music, I have NEVER EVER heard about U2 as an Irish band but always a LEGENDARY.

[@elliott3407]

U2 will echo through eternity! The Edge kills it!

[@richierich8310]

I agree! They are etching their place in History!

[@bonovox3924]

That's because he's Welsh :)

You couldn't have said it better....... Our guys don't give up . its about love peace and understanding more than we know . blessings.💙🙏

I’m late to the party discovering this very awesome song!! Better late than never?

[@ABC-qh8vi]

Great version of this awesome song. U2 is simply the best 👌

[@luismunoz7123]

I'm just 13 years old and from Spain and i've been listening to U2 since I was 4, they are my favourite band and I love them!!! I have all their albums and I was at Croke Park (Dublin) in 2017 to see them on their Joshua Tree Tour!!!

[@joannevega5381]

thats very cool. I have love them since the beginning and took my daughter to their I&E show at the forum in 2015. I own every album on vinyl an CD

[@sergielpipa3606]

Si eres de españa,entonces hablas español??

[@elizabetharmstrong3205]

Luis Muñoz wow you’re cool

[@bluezulu1510]

You’re a wise kid. What’s your favorite U2 album? Impossible right? Ok, how about top 5 in order? If you’re old enough to have grown up with them as I have it’s really impossible to put their records in a “my top 5” order because each album was special because of what I was going through at the time. So I’m curious as to how a younger fan that has to go back and listen to them feels their top 5 u2 albums are in order.

[@agianni3]

Blue Zulu I believe that each album has its ups and downs I personally do not like pop at all. Every other album is amazing in my mind. I am also relatively young also but I grew up listening to them. Truly the greatest band out there and it’s a shame that modern day music is messed up.

[@samthecat8829]

When I listen to Blackout, so do my neighbors.

[@GeorgeMcCauley]

Raw energy!! Can definitely feel the punk roots in this tune, can’t wait for the album

[@jkljoshh]

Yet another amazing song. Well done, U2.

[@thetaylordonnan]

U2 have been one of the greatest live acts for the better part of 40 years. This sounds just as incredible. SONGS OF EXPERIENCE!

[@catherinechurko4041]

One of their *best* and so late in their career (& some others on E+I)!

[@jayholt2100]

Best song of the album so far! We will be jumping!

[@streetheat3366]

One of their best songs.

[@officialaccountPSRPC]

This song is fantastic

[@daniB5000]

The intro to this song is incredible! It should've been the album opener I think.

[@oscarmaidana9294]

Fack. I never considered but now that I do, I would had been great. I love the songs, but I didnt like the album order.

[@light106year6]

You miss the point of the story in the album so

[@wezum]

Well, im not sure about it being an album opener but a gig opener - for sure! I hope it will be their opening song on the upcoming tour.

[@Smsrules1]

They'd get too many people thinking their Achtung sound is back.

[@daniB5000]

I didn't realize SoE was a concept album. Am I missing something?

[@rjennings1330]

Love this version - especially Adam's bass! Completely disarming.

[@rch7284]

Great song to kick off the eXPERIENCE. Adam is on fire here

[@bluezulu1510]

Epic vibe. U2 is a trip. One hell of a ride. I will continue to follow.

[@thomaskirchner421]

U2 are by far is my favorite band in the world. Every song is gr8.

[@mustlovepretzels]

U2 is bigger than anybody they were on the same page with in the 80's. Ex.: Billy Idol, Duran Duran, Culture Club, The Fixx, Elvis Costello, etc. Good song. Cheers!

[@cesarnajera387]

Songs of Experience is a Great Album. Greetings from Mexico

[@leagueofshadows]

The best song from SOE. Not sure why but the other tracks lack some ass-kickin unlike this one..........dark, brooding, no-nonsense rock!

[@JorgeAzapata726]

These guys know what’s coming! All their latest songs are all about it.

[@catherinechurko4041]

It was fantastic to see that live! Plus other E+I songs.

[@MgaTalunanKayo]

90's U2. I love how in this album, and Songs of Innocence, they applied what they learned in the 80s, 90s and 00s.

[@JoeyLevenson]

This is a great tune. There’s a bunch of later-era U2 gems out there.

Finally they're going back to the roots with this song, sounds like a song that could be included in achtung baby :p

[@pinkangel690]

It's very achtung isn't it! 👌💕

[@karloditomasso]

like zoo station when it starts

[@CordeauxG]

I think it would fit better on Pop. I wouldn't describe their 90s work as 'their roots,' that is punk(ish). But, their 90s work is definitely their most interesting and innovative (I miss that band).

[@CloudHighWay]

act like The Fly

[@hwcanotabot]

Achtung baby is hardly roots. I think that’s a masterpiece that stemmed from their musical evolution.

[@diavlosinsurance2880]

Still rocking bravelyyy....after all these epic memorial of their years....deeply through time..that's OUR U2 !

[@WestchesterNYMilton]

This is one of my favorite songs from this new album. I think it should get more radio airplay than it presently does.

And they play of these on the current tour and many hits from years past!!

[@BlenderisedMind]

Been a massive fan of theirs since a little kid cause my dad always played albums like The Joshua Tree, War, Achtung Baby, All That You Can't Leave Behind etc. This new song reminds me of their older stuff and it's AMAZING!

I didn't click "thumbs up" immediately as the video began. I resisted the urge and thought I should let +U2 earn my approval. Who was I kidding, really‽ It's +U2, after all. Even before Bono began singing, Adam, Edge, and Larry had already won me over. My enjoyment grew from there. Great job, +U2! Thanks, +U2VEVO!
