Nov 16, 2008 - ....I remember this performance back in the day as a student!! Brilliant!! but u2 soon slipped into the usual boring band shite, corporite dullness after this!!

Nov 16, 2008 - Funny to see the Queen v U2 arguments as I was a fan of both at the time. U2 were the new boys on the block, close to, if not at their peak. This set was utterly fantastic.Queen were seen as has-beens and musically were past it but as can be seen, nobody comes close to Queen live. Not even U2.

Nov 16, 2008 - i think U2 is far far far better than queen!!! although now U2 is not as gud as they used to be but they are any time better than queen. last best album by U2 "all that u can't leave behind".

Nov 17, 2008 - ...which proved sadly that music artists don't have much clout. Billions were sent over and only the crooked politicians and governments got it.

Nov 17, 2008 - Which makes you wonder whether the money did more harm than good, however good intentions.

Nov 17, 2008 - How can you even compare U2 to Queen?! Queen were a fucking genius band! U2's songs sound so similar to each other, there are only few U2 songs that are a little bit different. U2 is so boring. lol

modeo92 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - It's good that you put the 'lol' at the end, because you'd have to be a moron to truly believe that.

Nov 17, 2008 - i no sooner wanted to hear queen perform i will follow , the fly or bad than i wanted to hear U2 perform tie your mother down , tear it up or one vision thanks. both bands are quite the best at what they do, or tragically in queens case what they did, i just thank god i saw freddie mercury sing with queen and as always look forward to the next U2 tour.

modeo92 Says:

Nov 17, 2008 - I know a lot of people have said this is U2's finest moment, but that honor should go to the Sarajevo concert.

arrecato Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - Per me bono è esistito fino al 90

WhoDoYouWant Says:

Nov 19, 2008 - My problem continues to be: Queen fans make the effort to come somewhere they don't want to be (U2 You Tube performance) to say how much better Queen are. So go listen to Queen! Why this constant need to declare to U2 fans that Queen were "better"? We just won't ever believe it :) I'm sure it hurts but learn to live with it.

Nov 19, 2008 - Do not understand why alway try to force everybody to see the way I see it,if only I could see it their way then I shut fucked my big mouth and respect.

Nov 20, 2008 - it's ''teach him'', I like this saying too

Choefoe Says:

scotlitt Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - All who watched this live will never forget where they were on this day. 23 years later it stills gives me chills, still the greatest U2 performace ever.... in my eyes.

npspec34 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - Nice Mullet, Nice Brass Buttons. This was like 9 am Saturday on the east coast and at some point during this song I realized this wasn't going to be a normal day. Had set the tape recorder the night before and it took 3 six hr tapes to hold it all. Those tapes are long gone so You Tube is just savorumceous. who could put a name on U

jflinn210 Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - How freakin' awesome is that, to watch that now, and realize ... U2. Bad. Very very BAD.

jdthejazzdoctor Says:

Nov 21, 2008 - thank you for posting. a bit dissapointed at the cartoon interference at the point B man jumps to the crowd. You had to be there, like me, to appreciate how freakin brilliant this performance, this day was. Queen was frickin phenomenal that day, Bowie too.

Nov 21, 2008 - Cartoon lasts for like a nano second, there's no pleasing some.
