U2 - WITH OR WITHOUT YOU | IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS THE "ONE"!!! | FIRST TIME REACTION

The whole Joshua Tree album is a masterpiece.......

[@smackeye]

U2 somehow stepped outside of the boundaries of time when they wrote this song, and that entire album really, it's utterly timeless. People will still be talking about it and playing it many many many years from now. Nice to see younger generations enjoying and feeling the feeling all these years later.

[@tracysnow349]

I guess I wasn't confused by the last reaction. You had NEVER heard U2? Oh wow. I find that just so unbelievable. U2 is the band of generations now. I have been listening to them since their first album, "Boy". Saw them at Red Rocks in Denver. when I was 16 in 1983. If you have never seen a live U2 performance at least find a live video. Their contribution to rock cannot be understated. You have about 40 ish years of music to catch up on.

[@marymarin3277]

My favorite U2 song. It's on their Joshua Tree album. They worked on this album in Joshua Tree California...near the National Park. They worked on this album in Joshua Tree. I use to live a few miles away for a time. I think u should react to "When the Streets have No Name". It's on the same album and they made the video Live on top of a liquor store in LA California! Patrick u made his high notes near the end!👍♥️

[@Cheshirecat-nx9zn]

How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb from 2004 is a great album too. "you can't always make it on your own" is beautiful.

You guys have to check out U2's "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Pride (In the Name of Love)", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "Where the Streets Have No Name", "Angel of Harlem", "When Love Comes to Town" (with B.B. King), "Angel of Harlem", "All I Want Is You" -- and basically anything and everything off of the albums "The Joshua Tree" and "Rattle & Hum" -- when U2 were at the height of their best work (IMO).

[@abandonedchannel1159]

Also "Vertigo", "Miracle drug", " "Sometimes you can't make it on your own" and "Original of the species" from the "How to dismantle an atomic bomb" album, from 2004 I think their album called "All that you can't leave behind" is good as well

[@vickieray]

All of those songs ♥️♥️

[@keithstanding5507]

Having been a massive U2 fan since the beginning, I would suggest that someone coming to them for the first time really should watch U2 Go Home from slain castle Dublin. I've seen them live 6 times and think that this was possibly in the top 5 live shows ever. Particularly pay close attention to Bono when he introduces kite, as if you want to see a man deliver a song with real feeling and emotion, you will never see or hear better !

[@peterbothwell9005]

This track has always been burned into my memory since the year it was originally released when my late wife and I were in a very turbulent relationship snd she was pregnant with our first and only child. Whenever I hear this song I see my late wife who was at that time my girlfriend standing in a train traveling between Reading and London on her way to meet up with me at Paddington station when she unfortunately almost had a miscarriage and I had to rush her to a local hospital. Thankfully, our unborn daughter was saved and is now a beautiful and fantastic adult. The tragedy was that my daughters mother and I could never get along no matter how hard we tried.. I am a huge U2 fan, seen them live in concert twice and that was a great reaction guys. Thank you.

[@rohandesai2517]

I find U2's music very healing, something about the frequency of it. It always lifts me up. That wonderful soft "Bono wail" we used to call it, that falsetto he lets loose, the jingly Edge guitar, the eeriness - there's something very special about these guys, they gave us so much beautiful music. Please do explore them - you have SO much to cover! All I Want Is You is epic and of a similar time as this one, and a great video. Live - the ZooTV tour version of Bullet the Blue sky is incredible, as is Even Better Than the Real Thing, Love is Blindness and Mysterious Ways.

[@yarugizen]

U2 "All I Want Is You / Where The Streets Have No Name" live in Slane Castle. Masterpiece.

[@BigSteni]

Yessss..... great reaction. Thx.

[@jennhurl]

You asked for SPECIAL LIVE song👇🏻 U2 - "Bad" Live Aid 1985 This is the same concert that "Queen" performed at that everyone reacts to. Bono was singing their AMAZING song "Bad" and noticed a woman being crushed in the front row. He jumps off the stage to get her & DOES!!! Don't worry - the band never misses a beat. It will blow your mind that in a blink the band extended "Bad" for 5 minutes & Bono actually sang lyrics from other songs (Lou Reed & Rolling Stones) to "Bad's" melody to complete the 12 minutes. Ammmmmmazing. What song did they drop from their set to adjust for Bono jumping off stage? Pride (In The Name Of Love)

[@glenndespres5317]

You are awesome for all you just wrote! Totally with you!!

[@jennhurl]

@@glenndespres5317 Hey Glenn! 👋 Thank you! I enjoy endless random stories & facts and this is such a great moment in U2's history. Of course, we know why Live Aid is most discussed but my 2nd favorite tale from that day is definitely every member of that band in sync just flowing along like nothing & seeing Bono's humanity as he saved, danced with, and gave a kiss to an audience member. I hope George & Patrick chose it. ❤ See ya in the comments.

[@johnpevide1022]

I agree with you I've watched at least 80 percent of that event and Queen was first and U2 was second David Bowie third

You're right, guys, this song is beautiful - I have it downloaded and listen to it a lot. The melody, the words, just gorgeous. I love the way it starts off soft and gradually gets louder and more powerful until it reaches an even more powerful crescendo at the end - gosh, it's beautiful as I said before. U2 have some great songs - one I really like is called Pride (In the Name of Love). It came out in 1984 and I remember hearing it for the first time in, I think, HMV shop in Edinburgh and I just fell in love with it and bought it immediately. I didn't often do that - usually had to hear a song a few times before deciding! Many thanks for your great reaction, guys, as always.

I was blessed to see this band in concert long ago in Indianapolis, Indiana. The Joshua Tree Tour. Los Lobos opened for them. Los Lobos was late to arrive. U2 came out dressed in Southwestern outfits. They looked like a country band. They performed country songs and sounded phenomenal. It was amazing to be allowed to find out they do more than their own genre perfectly. They opened for Los Lobos so Los Lobos could open for them. hehe :) It was wonderful :)

U2 has toured a lot, and I've seen them 19 times over the years. There are several very captivating live performances to watch, The Electric Co from Dortmund Germany, 1984. Bono always made an effort to break down that wall between the band and the fans. Seeing him make his way into the audience for this song is so cool.

He's known to bring fans on stage. Really great human being!! Also, as Kimberlini Bambini recommended....

The Joshua Tree was written lyrically by Bono specifically for & about America. Bono was so adept & brilliant lyrically, that he he could write songs with a surface meaning & a deeper more macro meaning as well. While this song is written in a person to person context, it is also a song written by the world to America. Bono is a outright genius & Poet Laureate for a generation.

All of these are great from the first listen.

Perhaps one of the best lyrical bands of the 80s. It was almost like every song was a poem. You've reacted to some of their slower songs. Check out some of their more rock based songs, like Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day, and Pride. 40 years in the music business and still record, release music and tour as they enter their 60s. Bono always showed passion and charisma in his vocals.

[@florenciaalvarez3213]

U2 is my absolute favorite band! Saw them live 5 times and met them once. I could hardly contain myself looking into The Edge’s beautiful blue eyes. The Edge is the guitarist. He sings harmonies (and sings) with Bono (lead singer) along with drummer Larry Mullen Jr (founder of U2) and bassist Adam Clayton and the magic happens. Seeing them live in concert is like going to church, especially when you hear the beginning of “Where The Streets Have No Name” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. My favorite live performances include “A Sort of Homecoming” everything from Live at Red Rocks! Words can not describe how much I love U2. Please react to more U2! Great reaction!
