U2 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet (acoustic)

Edge & Bono (2000) Part 1: • Edge & Bono @ TV show

[@MiloKamilo24]

If I had Bono's voice I would sing all over the time!

[@zekkez]

1:30 "Go lightly down your, darkened way....Go lightly underground" Still gives me goosebumps

[@TheFly212]

Bono's voice is absolutely perfect here. U2 FTW.

[@rosebetitwrites3447]

when he sings, "let me love you..." chills up the spine.

[@cpa54]

Beautiful! The harmonies between Edge and Bono are terrific!

[@RequiemVaccaro]

these two are amazing...

[@Gemily27]

Isn't anyone gonna write about his VOICE????? He's a magic AAANGEEEELLL!!! lol! I love him soooo much :)))) xxxx

[@stereomanuk]

I wish theyed re-record it exactly like this and put it out for release because this is THE BEST version of the song. Some of it is accidental genius particularly the unintentional echo effect because Bono's a fair away from the microphone. The applause at the end kind of spoils it but it can't be helped that the crowd acknowledged how good this version is.

[@luferreira8928]

This song is timeless.

[@sjakiesjaak3]

Best version of this song! They should write more songs like this and perfom them acoustic.

[@keoki9]

Yeah, these guys are really talented. There's a reason you can still be popular after 30 years.

[@kutaycan7]

1:30 damn his voice gets a godly power

[@walterygor]

It´s official. I have decided that this definitly my favourite U2 song ever. Can´t get enough of it

[@jlebski]

[@lonkylaine]

@@jlebski Favorite U2/Salman Rushdie song .

[@R0mmatt]

SOOO much talent in one band.

[@Bigladderphotographer]

I love that they hadn't even worked out the key beforehand....just decide it live. Thats a seasoned performer!

[@atepashiddiqie7144]

All my life, I worshiped her Her golden voice, her beauty's beat How she made us feel, how she made me real And the ground beneath her feet And the ground beneath her feet And now I can't be sure of anything Black is white, and cold is heat For what I worshiped, stole my love away It was the ground beneath her feet It was the ground beneath her feet Go lightly down your darkened way Go lightly underground I'll be down there in another day I won't rest until you're found Let me love you, let me rescue you, Let me bring you where two roads meet Oh come back above, where there is only love Only love My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my Let me love you true, let me rescue you, Let me bring you to where two roads meet Let me love you true, let me rescue you, Let me bring you to where two roads meet My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my My oh my, my oh my

[@jlebski]

Beaitifull.

[@brendanECS]

I remember watching this live. It was very special.

[@bvc_]

I remember forever

[@10guitars]

I was just about to comment that. Then I read yours , then I wrote this reply which in retrospect was actually longer than what I was planning to write .

[@springsteen75]

Fairly certain Chris Evans played the full clip on the following week's show, such was the response to it.

[@alirlandes2238]

me too man. Had a major impact on me. Went straight to the guitar after it. Raw and beautiful.

[@jlebski]

What year its recorded?

[@09bassplaya]

I'm pretty sure this is what it sounds like in heaven...Bono I love you

[@IRINKAaau]

Ещё раз смотрю это видео 60-й раз !и спустя 6 месяцев, и еще буду смотреть! спасибо автору!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrGrungefuttock]

You know what ....i've never liked Bono at all , but every video like this on the net of them just " doing it" makes me respect U2 even more. There are, and have been, very few musicians / bands as good as this live. Consummate professional musicians. My love hate relationship with them has resulted in 7 live performances over the years, and i have to admit, that they are, in my opinion right up there with the very very greatest few bands bands of all time.

[@robertlester5766]

Still coming back after 10 years to hear this..... still gets me xx

[@marlenesullivan3113]

So Beautifully Sang

[@lovingautumn]

He mesmerizes me...takes me away. So wonderfully made

[@Ricardo-ns5hl]

Its amazing like these two simply connect instantly and make it perfect even in such an improvised scenario... thats real talent and real musical empaty

[@rebootYOURSELF]

This performance is amazing, I love 'Ground Beneath Her Feet' and 'Your blue room'

[@martilook]

God, I love how his voice breaks.

[@Pontiac4Sale]

There was a time prior to this performance that u2 had thrown caution to the wind, and explored music for creative purposes. Pop was the culmination of that exploration. For various reasons it was seen as a step too far. Before that, they had gradually edged themselves ever further from the mainstream, a mainstream which, ironically, they had helped create. They subsequently made a purposeful decision to conform, which was dramatically initiated through their album "How to dismantle an atomic bomb". This song though, and in particular this acoustic version, represents a fleeting time, before that album was released, before the marketing took hold and before they needed to "act" like the greatest rock band in the world again. Bono still retains that self-deprecating persona, the edge is meek, and the song is incredible, a wonderful performance. There is an authenticity present here, that I feel disappeared soon after.

[@coreygrange915]

The blue shamrock check out the EMA version of Every Breaking Wave, they haven’t lost anything yet. Or Moment of Surrender, Song for Someone, list goes on

[@diegoblanco1957]

Agree 100%. At the same time, I think it's impossible to sustain that amount of creativity and exploration in the long term in any performing art. In other terms to be avant-garde. Think McCartney, Dylan, or Scorsese today.

[@AK-wc9rl]

Agree with everything you say except that their decision to conform started an album earlier than HTDAAB, it happened with All That You Can't Leave Behind.

[@niallnigeynige]

Also think the commenter has mixed his albums up. This was from All that you can’t leave behind & this performance I’m fairly sure was a year or so before the album dropped.

[@AK-wc9rl]

@@niallnigeynige Correct. This song was released on the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack in 1999 I believe.

[@Niallersz]

Thats what ya call talent, effortless

[@gqnelly]

Amazing lyrics...amazing performance...amazing band...bravo, Edge and Bono. Brilliant

[@justincoleman3805]

Great version. Great harmonies. But the band version is still so much better. That lead guitar part and Bono’s vocals in the climax are transcendent. The Edge is a pretty underrated background singer too.

[@tehanu88]

Bono's voice is so great!!! I like this song a lot:D

[@franz21278]

bono has the best male voice ever, more quality than freddie

[@TheFly212]

I think so. It's the shear versatility as well as his falsetto control that really sets him apart.

[@littleman1240]

I think so

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

Cmon. I love U2. One of my 3 favorite bands of all time. But Freddie is in a class by himself. Everyone else is fighting for second place.

[@franz21278]

@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 freddie is nevrotic, bono is a blade

[@wandafischetti1186]

What a wonderful rare acoustic in irish pub!

[@rattleandhumgirl]

I loved how chilled out they playing this song.. it's such a stunning performance

[@bonosfriend]

I get chills every time I listen to this!!!

[@OnkelTomy85]

Nach all den Jahren einfach immer noch ein genialer Song

[@amadan34]

i watched this live and it blew me away, the follwing week chris evans had to play it on the show again due to demand. they got stacks of mail literally ( emails were too fancy then)No youtube back then. I am so glad someone recorded it and put it up here for prosperity.

[@cmej73]

amazing! I love Bono's raspy voice!

[@davidchristopherson9690]

hauntingly intensely beautiful, it's like Bono is pouring out the pain in someone else heart for them in the lyrics of this song.

[@wandafischetti1186]

beautiful!!!

[@enaysee1972]

There's talent right there folks!

[@vidacanalla]

really nice sound.... brilliant....bono's voice sounds really clear to be in a TV studio... bravo !!!

[@tanyabriggs8969]

Amazing....old band that needs NO auto tune...unlike many of the newer artists.

[@electricalstar]

I second that...oh God, it was so gorgeous...I cried too!

[@brazilsteen]

Speechless! Absolutely astonishing. I love U2

[@jpjames1]

From that time up to 88 is the real u2. Bono is a business man/politician Dad trying to be a rock star these days. Still has some great moments from time to time he is 50 so its amazing hes still able to have those moments after all those years. We can't be to critical its easy to criticize

[@marinamendozac4527]

Esquisto tema acústico y su voz de Bono 💓💓

[@brandage]

So incredible and breathtaking. You guys can rescue me with love anytime.

[@vaaleaenkeli]

Oh, I miss his voice! Marvellous thing!

[@brunossff]

it's perfect...everywhere, everytime

[@kristof71]

And that it why I love U2! AWESOME

[@rbrine01]

Beautiful lyrics and resonating emotional quality.

[@hooldoorsockbat]

oh dios, me encanta la voz de bono, es hermosa al igual que la canción , de mis favoritas sin duda

[@bonofoundgrace]

Great to hear that! There are so many beautiful songs from U2 out there. They keep surprising me.

[@PrinceTian]

one of my favorite u2 songs

[@walterygor]

I can not find the words to describe how beautiful and perfect this is!

[@Neira7]

I love this song :) Great performance. Just one word to describe: EXTRAORDINARY

[@lorecarvallomost]

i love bono's glasses!!!!! :) love this song!!! see you in Paris 2010!!!!

[@Stratman389]

I like this stripped back version, should have been like this on the album

[@nguitar3456]

+Jay Bod I prefer the original version but this is also nice

[@Stratman389]

this show was recorded before the album version

[@olbigdik]

Total pros, the boys are the best band in the world. Period.

[@dragmio]

Yes, boje19. And songs coming from another world are one of the main themes of the book. They've obviously nailed it. This shows what brilliant songwriters they are. After you read the book you can't believe anyone would dare make music for those lyrics. But they did it and succeeded brilliantly. Simply, they're the best ever.

[@kristof71]

A magnificent trio - Bono, Edge and the Gibson hummingbird . Love it

[@thetrueparadisecity]

Edge: what keyodo you want me to do this in? Bono: whats a key lol gotta love U2. Ive seen this video so many times and i still cant get tired of it

[@aiglehurlant]

vraiment un pur bonheur de l ecouté en accoustique thank s bibien one

[@markwall3440]

A lament written about his mum. Words really capture that sense of loss. Very underrated but beautiful song

[@frasermcampbell]

i think you're wrong!!!

[@frasermcampbell]

U2 wrote the music and melody but the words came from Salman Rushdie from the book of the same name

[@antoniovarriale9297]

Wonderful

[@MMaaddeelleeiinnee]

Amazing ! Sounds so much more real than the studio version on the "Million Dollar Hotel" album !!! Thanks for sharing, - much.

[@Edisa087]

ABSOLUTELY GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bonofoundgrace]

Since the 360 tour, i'm constantly listening to U2, also on You Tube. To my surprise, I discover so many songs, unknown to me until now. I heard the original version of this one yesterday, for the first time. I had to get used to the sort of metal sound of it, but Bono's voice made me listen to it again and again, until I came to appreciate it. But this acoustic version got to me instantly, I can feel it in my stomach and heart. Great song and a performance. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@larrydoran1979]

Just love the video, the song, its like time stands still!

I prefer the full album version because of Edge's great electric solo, but it's always nice to hear an unplugged version

***** To think this was like 15 year ago is unreal, it still sounds as fresh as their recent album, songs of innocence
