    Watching Mauri tribesman Gregg Carroll jump and slid all over the stage to take care of Bono and good friends U2 brings tears to my eyes. The U2 family still miss him every day.

    Am I the only one who thinks that mullets should be brought back into trend? I mean Bono has nice hair and I really like it. Same with 80’s Roger Taylor

  10. Steve T says:

    This is the definitive version of this song for me, I love it….. but I gotta ask is Adam even plugged in ?

  11. Simon Wren says:

    U2. The most over rated band in music history.

  12. ultramet says:

    This video sends shivers down my spine it’s so amazingly great. This performance and Queen’s set stole the show that day. The UK side of the show was so much better. I remember getting up early to watch this live as it were yesterday.

  13. Richard S says:

    The moment of the day was U2s. Sure Queen’s set was great and full of energy, but the crowd was amped up because of U2. It was a moment ending the career of a great band, Queen, with a great performance. However, it was a performance launching U2 into the future as the greatest band in the world for the next 15 years.

  14. I cry everytime i heard this song bad by u2

  15. Lucy says:

    I wish i had a time machine so I could go to this consert

  16. JP says:

    they had such incredible heart in their music back then, sadly not much of a fan of them anymore.

  17. Kevin Blake says:

    Just goes to show how good Queen were when this was second place!!!

  18. Mark Bastin says:

    Loved the nod to U2 at the start of Bohemian Rhapsody movie … Well played Queen. R.I.P Freddie

  19. I was 14 year and sat before the TV and thought: this band is going to be véry big so i have to record this on VHS…..and so things happened. Saw them back in Brussels 30 years laters and thought: i was right 😉 I still have the tape…

  20. Great performance, they are Legends!!! Butcher why nobody mentions the tribute to Lou Reed?

  21. Omar Vasquez says:

  24. Robert Papak says:

  25. Police left them. Sadly

  26. Mr. Joseph says:

    Can you only imagine all those people singing your song and all the people watching at home. Very humbling. And to think he won a Nobel Peace Prize

  27. this day looks to be the birth of The Fly character. these guys went all in

  28. U2 sang about people suffering from oppression and the drug problems of their home town….. they rocked the crowd singing about important moral issues that was the difference between them and queen… Sunday Bloody Sunday/ Bad a bold choice of songs x

  29. Adam Ball says:

    Beautiful thing Bono did. Shame he's now wrapped up in his own self-importance.

  30. Sho' Nuff says:

    He still alive so we don't care….

  31. The Greatest Day In Music History
    From Philadelphia, Pa.
    I Was There At JFK Stadium

  32. thegreatme18 says:

    If Adam Lavine was in this show, he would certainly won it.

  33. The bassist was ahead of the times. Look at his hair and clothing. Doesn’t look like the typical hairstyle of the 80’s or the crazy shirts with the shoulder pads from the mid-80’s. In fact his style of shirt was in style a couple years ago. I saw shirts like that at Zara. Epic performance. Love U2.

  34. Rumalo M says:

    after this perfomance edge and the rest of the band wanted to kill bono for launching himself to the crowd and waste the time limite they had to perform another song

  35. sayheykid54 says:

  36. David Steere says:

  38. Boere plaas says:

    BONO YOU PIECE OF CRAP. GOODY TWO SHOES CUNT. YOUR MUSIC IS SHIT.

  39. 30 years later got that privilege to see them live playing this song in NJ, incredible, a dream come true 🙂
