CAR HORN BEEPS All right. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
Sorry for bringing down the neighbourhood. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:12 | |
We go this way, Adam. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |

SONG: Beautiful Day | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
# The heart is a bloom shoots up through stony ground | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
# But there's no room no space to rent in this town | 0:01:17 | 0:01:24 | |
# You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care | 0:01:24 | 0:01:30 | |
# The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere | 0:01:30 | 0:01:38 | |
# You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place | 0:01:38 | 0:01:45 | |
# Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace | 0:01:45 | 0:01:52 | |
# It's a beautiful day the sky falls | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
# And you feel like beautiful day | 0:01:58 | 0:02:05 | |
# Oh | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
# You're on the road but you've got no destination | 0:02:06 | 0:02:13 | |
# You're in the mud in the maze of imagination | 0:02:13 | 0:02:20 | |
# You love this town even if that doesn't ring true | 0:02:20 | 0:02:28 | |
# You've been all over and it's been all over you | 0:02:28 | 0:02:34 | |
# It's a beautiful day | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
# Don't let it get away | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
# Beautiful day | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
# Touch me now take me to that other place | 0:02:49 | 0:02:56 | |
# Teach me I know I'm not a hopeless case | 0:02:56 | 0:03:03 | |
# There's a starman waiting in the sky | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
# He'd like to come and meet us but he thinks he'd blow our minds | 0:03:18 | 0:03:24 | |
# There's a starman waiting in the sky | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
# He told us not to blow it cos he thinks it's all worthwhile | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
# See the world in green and blue | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
# See China right in front of you | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
# See the canyons broken by cloud | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
# See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
# See the Bedouin fires at night | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
# See the oil fields at first light | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
# See the bird with a leaf in her mouth | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
# After the flood all the colours came out | 0:04:04 | 0:04:11 | |
# Day, day | 0:04:11 | 0:04:17 | |
# Day, day | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
# It was a beautiful day | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
# Don't let it get away | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
# A beautiful day | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
# Touch me now take me to that other place | 0:04:35 | 0:04:42 | |
# Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case | 0:04:42 | 0:04:49 | |
# What you don't have you don't need it now | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
# What you don't know you can feel it somehow | 0:04:53 | 0:04:56 | |
# What you don't have you don't need it now | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
# You don't need it now | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |

Abbey Road. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
The brilliant U2, everybody. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Now, these four unassuming Irish boys were school-friends who | 0:06:00 | 0:06:04 | |
embarked on a musical journey that's taken them to the very top of rock. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:08 | |
I first met them about... | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Should I say, even? 20 years ago? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
-No! -It was that long. It was that long ago. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:15 | |
And we've been friends ever since, | 0:06:15 | 0:06:17 | |
so, I'm very pleased to say welcome to U2 At The BBC. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
CHEERING | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
You guys are famous for pioneering some of the biggest shows in rock. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
You're used to performing in front of 70,000 people, I think. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Tonight, though, you're going to squeeze that performance | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
into the tiny Abbey Road Studios | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
which I'm imagining is actually going to be fairly difficult. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
Or do you enjoy it? | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
Well, first of all, I am actually more nervous about this | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
-than getting on stage in front of 70,000 people. -Why? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
Because that 70,000-people stadium experience is something we have done | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
since we were in our 20s - we have never done this before. | 0:06:56 | 0:07:00 | |
We've never played our songs to a tiny little crowd | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
in a setting like this. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
So, actually, got a few jitters about it. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
So why did you choose Abbey Road? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
What was it about Abbey Road that made you...? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
Well, it's a legendary place. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
It's one of the best studios in the world, | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
and I guess The Beatles anointed it that way. | 0:07:18 | 0:07:20 | |
You do feel like you should take your shoes off or something. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:23 | |
Or do a few kind of, yeah, prayer bows or something. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
We got to know Macca a little bit | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
and actually we met him in our Mecca here. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
I can't remember what album it was, | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
but he came down and took us | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
through what it was like and he reminded us that when they came, | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
when The Beatles come to Abbey Road they'd to come in the tradesman's entrance. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-No, they didn't. -Yes, because musicians were... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
They weren't scientists and they weren't... | 0:07:49 | 0:07:51 | |
They were of a different caste system. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
And of course the whole thing about The Beatles was they broke through | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
that and became these great producers | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
as well as great songwriters and great players. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
So that all happened in here. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
You could say that this is the Big Bang of pop music, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
this... This room. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
Is that why Adam and Larry and myself went in the other entrance? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
-LAUGHTER -Is that what that is all about? | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Larry, how on earth did you choose the songs | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
that you are going to perform tonight? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:20 | |
14 albums to choose from, so how did you decide? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
Kind of left it to the scientist in our band, The Edge. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
It was really about... | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
The choice of songs was about what would make sense for U2 | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
plus an orchestra. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:34 | |
It is a long way from punk rock as well, it has to be said. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:38 | |
And there was a sense of, "Is this too much? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
"Are we being self-indulgent here?" | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
We've a choir, we've a 38-piece orchestra, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
and we felt kind of naughty | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
because we have had big arrangements on A song | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
but the idea of doing an entire night with those kinds of arrangements, | 0:08:54 | 0:09:00 | |
it felt a little self-indulgent but we delighted in that self-indulgence. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
I was going to say, just enjoy it. We're all going to enjoy it tonight. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
Let's have a treat right now. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:09 | |
What song are you going to give us next? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Lights Of Home. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-Watch out for this one. -It's going to be good? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
It's one of the most extraordinary things | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
we have ever had the good fortune of being a part of. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
-I'm ready. Are you ready? -CHEERING | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
OK, you guys go and get ready, off you go. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
CHEERING | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Next up we have a very special performance, | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
it's an exclusive from U2's brand-new album - | 0:09:31 | 0:09:33 | |
this is the brilliant Lights Of Home. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:36 | |
It feels really good. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
This is... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:41 | |
Thank you. This is a moment... | 0:09:41 | 0:09:43 | |
These songs you're about to hear are very personal. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
They are sort of letters, a lot of them, to family, friends, to places. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:54 | |
And to our audience, to you. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
This is Lights Of Home. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:01 | |

SONG: Lights Of Home | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
# I shouldn't be here cos I should be dead | 0:10:19 | 0:10:22 | |
# I can see the lights in front me | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |

# The lights of home | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
# I was born from a screaming sound | 0:11:25 | 0:11:28 | |
# I could see the lights in front of me | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
# I thought my head was harder than ground | 0:11:31 | 0:11:35 | |
# I could see the lights in front of me | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
# One more push and I'll be born again | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
# One more road you can't travel with a friend | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
# Saw a statue of a gold guitar | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
# Bright lights right in front of me | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
# Hey, I've been waiting to get home a long time | 0:11:51 | 0:11:56 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:14:29 | 0:14:30 | |
Amazing stuff, guys. Thank you so much. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:45 | |
Absolutely brilliant. Take a breather. Take a breather. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
For four decades you have been world leaders | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
when it comes to massive arena tours. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
When you are on tour, do you actually pack your own suitcases? | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
Bono does his and mine. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
I haven't changed much in that I never really pack my suitcase. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
I never really had a suitcase. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
I've been sort of sleeping on people's couches, | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
and just turning up in other people's houses. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
Myself and Larry shared a room. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:20 | |
He was excellent for a while - he tried to put some manners on me. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
Where you tidy, Larry? | 0:15:24 | 0:15:25 | |
Did you have to keep picking up after him? | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
I imagine you to be very tidy and liking things in their proper place. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
I'm not sure that I was very tidy, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
it was just clear that Bono was extremely untidy. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:15:37 | 0:15:39 | |
Larry, is it true that Bono would steal your underwear | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
from time to time? | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
That's not true. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
In fairness, that is not true. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
However, there was a lot of borrowing. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
Scarred for life. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:53 | |
What's the worst fight you've ever had? | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
I think I threw a drum-kit into the audience - | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
it wasn't to do with Larry. LARRY MOUTHS | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
It was more my own existential angst. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:07 | |
And then they told me they would throw me out of the band | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
if I ever did that again. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:11 | |
Can I just correct you? You through the drum-kit at me. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:15 | |
-Oh, yeah. -Sorry about that. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:17 | |
That's fine, seriously. I forgive you, really. | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
See, that's nice. It takes a BBC special. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:23 | |
Old wounds are healed. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |

This year U2 celebrated their 30th anniversary of The Joshua Tree. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
30 years - I can't believe where that time has gone. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
CHEERING | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
They went on a world tour and invited me to join them | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
in Sao Paulo for the final shows. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
We agreed to meet in a quiet corner of the city to absorb some culture. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
It WAS quiet, but not for long. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
Look at that. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
-Hello. -My God. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
-Shall we leave them in there? -Shall we? Drive. Drive, drive. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
We wanted to show you some graffiti. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
This is... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
Just a casual walk down the street. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:13 | |
How long do you think we're going to get away with this? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
Not for very much longer, actually. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
The game is already up. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:21 | |
So what are the fans like here in Sao Paulo? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
I would say Ireland is 10, Brazil 100. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
Are you serious? | 0:17:30 | 0:17:31 | |
No, no, they're drowning out the band. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
It's really something. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:35 | |
Oh, I like this. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:39 | |
That's cool. Can we buy a chair? | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
Come on, this is great. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
Bono, it's for you. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:46 | |
Hold on a second. Get me the Pentagon. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-It's like the Batphone. -It is. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
Bono, the Pope is on here. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
Sorry, I was just talking to The Donald there. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
He says he hasn't got time to take his confession. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
Yes, I will get down on my knees. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:01 | |
Bye | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
Taxi! | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
-Do you need to go off and get ready? -Yeah, we do. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:17 | |
Because hair and make-up is going to take a while. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
-It's going to take hours. -Oh, man. -Go put your lip gloss on. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |
-So where are we going now? -We're going to go inside. -Oh! | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
Usually, where these dressing rooms are, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
it's the dressing rooms for sports-people, | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
so there is a smell of men... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
..which I don't particularly like. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
So we have to fumigate and we put these... | 0:18:38 | 0:18:41 | |
This is called pipe and drape. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
This is cheap material hung on scaffolding pipes | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
just to make it seem a little girlie. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
But it doesn't really fool anyone. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
It's not white and floaty, Mariah would have white and floaty. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
-It's a little bit white and floaty. -Yes, that's more Mariah. | 0:18:53 | 0:18:55 | |
And here we have an actual rock star in a natural habitat. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:00 | |
Would you like a cup of tea, darling? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
It's not as impressive as I thought it was going to be. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
You don't want to come here hungry, that's for sure. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
-No, definitely not. -That's Edge's dinner. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
What are you having, Edge? | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
I don't know. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
-Meatballs. -Lamb! Oh, you devil. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
You definitely weren't getting that in one of your first gigs. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:16 | |
-No. -What's this for? | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
It's something to do with the sound system. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
Nobody can work that. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
I mean, look... | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
Look. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
On, off. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
I need these in my house. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
We still can't work it. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:31 | |
Guitars, are they just for show or are they...? | 0:19:33 | 0:19:35 | |
That's for warm-ups, the keyboard, the sound, just... | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
-You've got to get the fingers moving. -Oh. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
Can you give me a bit of something? | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
Sure. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:43 | |
Oh, it makes me go a bit funny. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
Shall we go and look at some clothes and let him have his dinner? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
OK. Enjoy your meatballs, then. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:54 | |
Has anybody ever done this before? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
We don't normally show people the sort of back area. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
This is smoke and mirrors. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
That's Larry's show clothes, | 0:20:07 | 0:20:10 | |
with his 28-inch waist, I think. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
This is my show jacket, which is very nice. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
And you've got to have something glamorous to change into after | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
the show, so I have this. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
It's a nice combination of pink stars and camo. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
This is the restaurant area. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
"Pork and barley soup, coconut veggie soup, sirloin steak." | 0:20:28 | 0:20:32 | |
This is much better than we get. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Do you want to come and see the underworld, | 0:20:35 | 0:20:38 | |
-under the stage where all the equipment is? -Absolutely. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
-I think he means guitars. -Do you? -Later. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
Do you know your way to the stage? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
Normally we have arrows on the floor. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
Look, there's one! | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
So this is where all the magic happens. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
By the way, your face actually lit up at that point. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-It is still your favourite place, isn't it? -It really is. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
Do you have one side and Adam has the other? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
This is all my stuff. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
Do you get competitive about it? | 0:21:07 | 0:21:09 | |
No. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:10 | |
Adam has only got for strings, I have six strings - | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
it's a totally different world, you know. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
Incomparable. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
So do you want to come this way? | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
-OK. -I think I should lead. -Where are we going? Will I be OK? | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
After Edge there. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
CAT GASPS | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
CHEERING | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
I almost fell off the stage! | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
So this is the crowd. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:34 | |
Thanks, guys. | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
It's an amazing feeling, isn't it? | 0:21:43 | 0:21:45 | |
-Are you OK? -Yes, I think I'm done. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:49 | |
Good. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:52 | |
Apparently we're about two minutes out. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Are you ready? | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
Good luck! | 0:22:09 | 0:22:10 | |
And with that... | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
show time. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:27 | |
Hello. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
Are you OK? | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
Yeah. Is this the BBC? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:56 | |
Yes. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:58 | |
There she is. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
How are you? | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
I'm... | 0:23:03 | 0:23:05 | |
I'll be with you in a minute. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:07 | |
So how long is this going to take us, Edge? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
With the police escort, probably about 15 or 20 minutes. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
I came down, I sang to you, I don't know if you saw me. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-Yes! -Oh, you did. -It was amazing. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:22 | |
I do this thing at the end of the show, I hope you don't mind. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
It's a little meditation. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
OK. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:29 | |
OK, let's have a beer. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
-And old friends. -Cheers. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
We go to some of the most glamorous places in the world... | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
-You take me to all the best places. -..and then go through the kitchen. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
Hello. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
MUSIC DROWNS OUT SPEECH | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
CHEERING | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Now that was a good party! | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
But...the gig was even better. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
And what I love is as you're watching that, you go, | 0:24:16 | 0:24:18 | |
"Wow. That's where we were." | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Yeah. Sometimes we don't think about it or stop to think about it | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
but seeing that there, seeing it on your face was also just beautiful. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
When I went out there with you... | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
I was such a wuss but I couldn't help it. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
It made me go so funny. Like, really... | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
Well, to be honest, it's never got old for us. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
It's always the same - | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
that rush that you get from getting out in front of the audience | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
and playing your songs is the same. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Right, well, we want you to play some more songs now. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:48 | |
We want more. We want more! | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
So what are you going to play for us next? | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
-With Or Without You. -With Or Without You. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:53 | |
OK, off you go. Get out there. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
-Come on. -Come on. -CHEERING | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
OK, get ready for a sing-along. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
This is U2 and With Or Without You. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
It's amazing to... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
..be in the company of, well... | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
..great musicians. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Adam, Larry, Edge. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
These extraordinary... | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
..extraordinary instrumentalists. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
John Metcalfe right there conducting. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:27 | |
SONG: With Or Without You | 0:25:35 | 0:25:38 | |
# See the stone set in your eyes | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
# See the thorn twist in your side | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
# I'll wait for you | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
# Sleight of hand and twist of fate | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
# On a bed of nails she makes me wait | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
# And I wait without you | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
# With or without you | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
# With or without you | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
# Through the storm we reach the shore | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
# You give it all but I want more | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
# And I'm waiting for you | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
# With or without you | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
# With or without you | 0:26:55 | 0:26:58 | |
# I can't live with or without you | 0:27:00 | 0:27:07 | |
# Yeah | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
# And you give yourself away | 0:27:17 | 0:27:22 | |
# And you give yourself away | 0:27:22 | 0:27:26 | |
# And you give, and you give | 0:27:26 | 0:27:30 | |
# And you give yourself away | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
# My hands are tied my body bruised | 0:27:36 | 0:27:43 | |
# She got me with nothing to win | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
# And nothing left to lose | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
# And you give yourself away | 0:27:52 | 0:27:56 | |
# And you give yourself away | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
# Yeah you give, you give | 0:28:00 | 0:28:05 | |
# You give yourself away | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
# I can't live | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:28:27 | 0:28:34 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:28:36 | 0:28:42 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
# I can't live | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
# With or without you | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
# With or without you | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
# Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh | 0:29:10 | 0:29:16 | |
# Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh. # | 0:29:19 | 0:29:26 | |
All right, check it out. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
# Love, love will tear us apart again | 0:29:36 | 0:29:43 | |
# Love, love will tear us apart again | 0:29:45 | 0:29:53 | |
# And love, love will tear us apart again | 0:29:53 | 0:30:00 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:30:02 | 0:30:09 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh. # | 0:30:11 | 0:30:18 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Wow. Sit down. The break-up song to end all break-up songs. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
Hearts are breaking all over the world. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
Now, then, we've all made some pretty bad decisions | 0:30:48 | 0:30:52 | |
when we were teenagers. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
I know I have, definitely. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:55 | |
But, Larry, you actually made a brilliant decision as a teenager | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
cos it was you that put the advert - was it on a school notice board? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:05 | |
Yes, I'd love to take total responsibility for that | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
but it was actually my dad. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
He was very anxious to get me out of the house. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
-OK. He just want to get rid of you, basically. -He just wanted me out of the house. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
I was taking up the boxroom and I was very noisy. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
I think he felt if there was a band thing I would move into | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
somebody else's house. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:23 | |
-Or the shed. -Or the shed, something like that. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
-And these three reprobates turned up? -Yeah, that's it. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
Was it difficult to choose them? | 0:31:29 | 0:31:31 | |
Or were they the only ones that turned up? | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
It was one of those great things where you think you're choosing them | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
and it turns out that they actually chose you. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
And it could have been somebody else's kitchen. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
It was my kitchen that Saturday but I think they had plans for a couple | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
of Saturdays along the way, there were a couple of people lined up. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:51 | |
I think I made the best coffee. | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
-Do you know, that's not true. -No? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
Larry definitely started the band. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
There would not have been a band without him. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Adam was the second most ambitious person. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
He actually printed up cards with, "Manager - Adam Clayton". | 0:32:06 | 0:32:11 | |
Because Edge and myself strangely enough were kind of... | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
We were like, "What? | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
"Yes, we would like to be in a band, | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
"but, you mean, for the rest of our lives, kind of thing?" | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
And I wasn't going to go to the rehearsal. | 0:32:22 | 0:32:25 | |
I was just another, whatever it is, angry kid, | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
and if Larry hadn't done that, | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
I wouldn't be anywhere, I don't think. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:34 | |
But hold on, hold on. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
There was that moment where I think you won | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
a competition in Limerick and you won £500, is that correct? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:43 | |
Is that the first competition you won? | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
Did you think you were millionaires at the time? | 0:32:46 | 0:32:48 | |
Did you think...? What did you spend it on? | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
-The manager ran off with it. -Did he? Boo! | 0:32:50 | 0:32:54 | |
I do remember we also got posters, which was again Adam's idea. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:59 | |
And didn't your mum used to drive you around and you used to stick them over other people's posters? | 0:32:59 | 0:33:03 | |
This is true. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:04 | |
She had a Welsh accent and an orange Beetle. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:07 | |
Yep, a VW Beetle and we would all jump in the back | 0:33:07 | 0:33:10 | |
and when there were no police on the street, | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
we would get out and we'd have pre-made long posters which we used. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
I think wallpaper was the basis of it. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:20 | |
-What did they say, The Edge? -What did they say? | 0:33:20 | 0:33:22 | |
"U2 at The Baggot Inn", blah-blah-blah, whatever. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
No. "U2 can happen to anyone". | 0:33:24 | 0:33:28 | |
-I see what you've done. -I still don't know what it means. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
Another choice that you made... | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
WELSH ACCENT: "The police have gone, Edge." | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
Is that what she'd say? | 0:33:36 | 0:33:38 | |
"OK, go, the police have gone. Get out, lads." | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
She was our first roadie, Mrs The Edge. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
I love the idea of her, I love it. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
One of the other ideas that you had was to have nicknames. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:49 | |
The nicknames were just... | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
I mean it's probably an odd thing to, | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
in one sense, reject your family name | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
and to be known by something else. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
But our names sometimes say a lot about you, | 0:34:03 | 0:34:07 | |
the names that friends call each other. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
I mean, is he not The Edge? | 0:34:10 | 0:34:12 | |
And what about Bono? | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
I was originally Bono Vox. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:18 | |
Yeah, and it was the name of a hearing aid shop. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
I think it means "strong voice". | 0:34:21 | 0:34:23 | |
If you're in trouble with Ali, does she still call you Bono? | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
What do you have written on your cup at coffee shops? | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
The only person... | 0:34:31 | 0:34:32 | |
Sometimes people come up and use the name Paul, | 0:34:32 | 0:34:36 | |
but it makes me nervous because the only person who called me | 0:34:36 | 0:34:38 | |
Paul through my life was my father. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:42 | |
-When you were in trouble. -So I would be twitching. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
Ali calls me Bono and I've been Bono since I was 14. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
-So... -That's it. It's there to stay. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
But you obviously have been together for these 40 years now | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |
and, Larry, you're the guy who sits at the back, | 0:34:56 | 0:35:00 | |
that sees these three come in front of him every time you perform. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:05 | |
How have they changed over the years? | 0:35:05 | 0:35:07 | |
-I wish I'd taken photographs over the years. -Yes. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:09 | |
-Because it's quite... -Everything started much perter. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
Well, it's just... | 0:35:14 | 0:35:16 | |
It's even little movements... | 0:35:16 | 0:35:18 | |
-Give me an example. -Just small things like that, | 0:35:18 | 0:35:22 | |
for instance, The Edge does and they're small things, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
and I noticed in the kitchen 42 years ago, he did them as well. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |
-You heard a bit of it. -This is news to me. -I'm really interested in this. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:33 | |
Dun-du-dun-dun... | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
He did that 42 years ago, and every time we get on stage, | 0:35:35 | 0:35:39 | |
Edge plays that song. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
And it's the song... | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
That basically is the one that he needs | 0:35:42 | 0:35:47 | |
to get us all to understand that we are in that band. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:54 | |
That really wide thing, so Edge does that for us. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:58 | |
There you go. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:01 | |
You didn't know that, did you? All turn round... | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
But we have had to listen to "dun-du-dun-dun" quite a lot. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
Now I know... Now I will look at it differently. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:11 | |
Can you tell me about your next song? What are you going to play next for us? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
Stuck In A Moment. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:15 | |
Why are you choosing to play this song? | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
Well, last month, November, | 0:36:18 | 0:36:22 | |
was the 20th anniversary of the exit | 0:36:22 | 0:36:27 | |
of our great friend Michael Hutchence from the planet, | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
the singer of INXS. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:31 | |
Extraordinary person, | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
this luminous mind and beautiful soul | 0:36:34 | 0:36:39 | |
and this is kind of... | 0:36:39 | 0:36:42 | |
This song is like an argument with him, even though he was gone. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
It's the argument and it's the kind of argument you have | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
with somebody you love. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
You are being unreasonable but you want to make a point in it. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
So, Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:00 | |
I said that like a DJ. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
-Off you go. Go do it. -OK. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
This is the incredible Stuck In A Moment. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
SONG: Stuck In A Moment | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
The guitar... | 0:37:28 | 0:37:29 | |
# I'm not afraid of anything in this world | 0:37:37 | 0:37:42 | |
# There's nothing you can throw at me that I haven't already heard | 0:37:43 | 0:37:47 | |
# I'm just trying to find a decent melody | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
# A song that I can sing in my own company | 0:37:54 | 0:37:58 | |
# I never thought you were a fool | 0:38:00 | 0:38:03 | |
# But darling, look at you | 0:38:06 | 0:38:08 | |
# You gotta stand up straight carry your own weight | 0:38:11 | 0:38:17 | |
# These tears are going nowhere, baby | 0:38:17 | 0:38:22 | |
# You've got to get yourself together | 0:38:22 | 0:38:26 | |
# You've got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:38:26 | 0:38:32 | |
# Don't say that later will be better | 0:38:33 | 0:38:37 | |
# Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:38:37 | 0:38:43 | |
# I will not forsake the colours that you bring | 0:38:49 | 0:38:54 | |
# But the nights you filled with fireworks | 0:38:54 | 0:38:57 | |
# Did they leave you with nothing? | 0:38:57 | 0:39:00 | |
# I am still enchanted by the light you brought to me | 0:39:00 | 0:39:05 | |
# I still listen through your ears and through your eyes I can see | 0:39:05 | 0:39:10 | |
# And you are such a fool | 0:39:12 | 0:39:15 | |
# To worry like you do | 0:39:17 | 0:39:21 | |
# I know it's tough and you can never get enough | 0:39:23 | 0:39:29 | |
# Of what you don't really need now, my, oh, my | 0:39:29 | 0:39:34 | |
# You've got to get yourself together | 0:39:34 | 0:39:38 | |
# You got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:39:38 | 0:39:44 | |
# Oh, lord, look at you now | 0:39:45 | 0:39:49 | |
# You're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:39:49 | 0:39:55 | |
# I was unconscious, half asleep | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
# The water is warm till you discover how deep | 0:39:58 | 0:40:02 | |
# I wasn't jumping for me it was a fall | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
# It's a long way down to nothing at all | 0:40:09 | 0:40:14 | |
# Oh, yeah | 0:40:14 | 0:40:18 | |
# You've got to get yourself together | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
# You got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:40:22 | 0:40:28 | |
# Don't say that later will be better | 0:40:29 | 0:40:33 | |
# Now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it | 0:40:33 | 0:40:39 | |
# And if the night runs over | 0:40:40 | 0:40:45 | |
# And if the day won't last | 0:40:45 | 0:40:50 | |
# And if your way should falter | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
# Along the stony pass | 0:40:56 | 0:41:01 | |
# And if the night runs over | 0:41:02 | 0:41:07 | |
# And if the day won't last | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
# And if your way should falter | 0:41:13 | 0:41:19 | |
# Along the stony pass | 0:41:19 | 0:41:24 | |
# It's just a moment | 0:41:26 | 0:41:28 | |
# It's just a moment | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
# This too shall pass. # | 0:41:35 | 0:41:40 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
It's a very difficult thing for us. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:52 | |
There's been a couple of moments where I looked out there and I saw 100,000 people. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:55 | |
And I'm not drinking. LAUGHTER | 0:41:55 | 0:41:58 | |
What happened to the pyro? I was told there was going to be pyro? | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
No pyro. There's no pyro. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
They're like letters, a lot of these songs and... | 0:42:04 | 0:42:08 | |
..this next one I thought was to our daughters. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
But like everything, | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
you preach what you need to hear. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
Isn't that right, The Edge? | 0:42:20 | 0:42:21 | |
Well, you preach what you need to hear. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:34 | |
Oh, yeah. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:37 | |
SONG: Get Out Of Your Own Way | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:42:47 | 0:42:50 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:42:54 | 0:42:58 | |
# Love hurts, now you're the girl who's left with no words | 0:43:01 | 0:43:06 | |
# Your heart's a balloon but then it bursts | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
# It doesn't take a cannon just a pin | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
# Your skin's no covering | 0:43:12 | 0:43:15 | |
# Resistance, love has got to fight for its existence | 0:43:15 | 0:43:21 | |
# The enemy has armies of assistants | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
# The amorous, the glamorous | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
# A kiss, a fist | 0:43:26 | 0:43:28 | |
# Listen to this, oh | 0:43:28 | 0:43:31 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:43:31 | 0:43:34 | |
# Ah! | 0:43:35 | 0:43:37 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:43:38 | 0:43:41 | |
# Ah! | 0:43:43 | 0:43:46 | |
# I can sing it to you all night, all night | 0:43:46 | 0:43:49 | |
# If I could, I'd make it all right, all right | 0:43:49 | 0:43:53 | |
# Nothing's stopping you except what's inside | 0:43:53 | 0:43:56 | |
# I can help you but it's your fight, your fight | 0:43:56 | 0:44:00 | |
# Fight back, don't take it lying down | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
# You've got to bite back | 0:44:03 | 0:44:05 | |
# The face of liberty is starting to crack | 0:44:05 | 0:44:08 | |
# She had a plan and then she took a smack in the mouth | 0:44:08 | 0:44:12 | |
# And it all went south like | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
# Freedom, the slaves are looking for someone to lead them | 0:44:14 | 0:44:20 | |
# The master's looking for someone to need him | 0:44:20 | 0:44:23 | |
# The promised land is there for those who need it most | 0:44:23 | 0:44:27 | |
# And Lincoln's ghost said | 0:44:27 | 0:44:29 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:44:30 | 0:44:33 | |
# Ah | 0:44:35 | 0:44:37 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
# Ah | 0:44:42 | 0:44:44 | |
# I can sing it to you all night, all night | 0:44:44 | 0:44:48 | |
# If I could, I'd make it all right, all right | 0:44:48 | 0:44:52 | |
# Nothing's stopping you except what's inside | 0:44:52 | 0:44:55 | |
# I can help you but it's your fight, your fight | 0:44:55 | 0:45:00 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:45:00 | 0:45:03 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:45:07 | 0:45:10 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:45:29 | 0:45:32 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
# Get out of your own way | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
# Blessed are the arrogant | 0:45:56 | 0:45:59 | |
# For theirs is the kingdom of their own company | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
# Blessed are the bullies | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
# For one day they will have to stand up to themselves | 0:46:06 | 0:46:10 | |
# Blessed are the liars | 0:46:12 | 0:46:15 | |
# For the truth could be awkward. # | 0:46:15 | 0:46:20 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:46:23 | 0:46:26 | |
Come and sit down here for me, guys. | 0:46:29 | 0:46:32 | |
Come and sit down. | 0:46:32 | 0:46:34 | |
So tell us a little bit about the new album. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:39 | |
Is it the sequel to Songs Of Innocence? | 0:46:39 | 0:46:41 | |
Yeah, they were always a two-album set. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:46 | |
And a lot of the songs on the album are letters to people. | 0:46:46 | 0:46:50 | |
Who are they letters to and why have you chosen to do that? | 0:46:50 | 0:46:53 | |
I've had a few brushes with mortality over the years, | 0:46:53 | 0:46:58 | |
or reminders that we might not be around forever. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:02 | |
And I just thought, well, if I'm not around, just in case, | 0:47:02 | 0:47:06 | |
I should really have it laid out for my kids, my sons and daughters. | 0:47:06 | 0:47:13 | |
For our kids, for our friends, our families. | 0:47:13 | 0:47:16 | |
There is a letter to a country there, America, it's called American Soul. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:21 | |
There's a letter to our audience about how you shouldn't trust | 0:47:21 | 0:47:24 | |
performers too much. | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
And not all of them are letters but that's where it came from. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:30 | |
And one of the things that you actually did with your last | 0:47:30 | 0:47:33 | |
album was you gifted it to people. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
-And some people were not very happy about it. -Yeah. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:38 | |
-They were quite vocal about it. -A couple. | 0:47:38 | 0:47:40 | |
They weren't happy when it turned up on their iPhone. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:42 | |
But then again that's only the people you know about, | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
but we had a lot of people thank us for the gift. | 0:47:46 | 0:47:49 | |
We have a much bigger audience now. | 0:47:49 | 0:47:51 | |
And I talked them into it, | 0:47:51 | 0:47:53 | |
I went into Apple and said, | 0:47:53 | 0:47:55 | |
"Look, you are the people who get people to pay for music. | 0:47:55 | 0:48:01 | |
"Why not reward the people who pay for music by a gift?" | 0:48:01 | 0:48:04 | |
And Tim Cook said, "That's a brilliant idea, really good. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:07 | |
"And a gift? OK, good. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:10 | |
"So you're giving your album free?" | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
And we said, "No. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:15 | |
"You pay us, and then you give it free." | 0:48:15 | 0:48:19 | |
-And... -Did they agree to that? | 0:48:19 | 0:48:21 | |
Yeah. We were trying to... | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
If you imagine this as like our album, like a bottle of milk, | 0:48:23 | 0:48:28 | |
was to arrive on your doorstep as a gift. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:30 | |
-You would open it up, there it is. -Open the door - "Ooh, that's lovely!" | 0:48:30 | 0:48:34 | |
Our bottle of milk ended up going into your kitchen, into your fridge | 0:48:34 | 0:48:38 | |
and actually sometimes on your Cornflakes. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:40 | |
That is what happened, that upset people, but it was not the intention. | 0:48:40 | 0:48:44 | |
Would you do it again? That is the question. | 0:48:44 | 0:48:46 | |
Of course, yeah, yeah. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:48 | |
It is time for another song, you guys. Can we have another one? | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
-We can. -OK, head on up there for me. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:54 | |
Thank you. You're out of here. See you in a minute. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
OK. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |
It's hard to imagine now, but in the early '90s, | 0:49:03 | 0:49:05 | |
U2 were on the verge of breaking up. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:08 | |
This is the song that brought the band back from the brink. | 0:49:08 | 0:49:11 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, it's U2 with One. | 0:49:11 | 0:49:14 | |
SONG: One | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
So we wrote this in Germany after the Wall came down. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:31 | |
And 30 years later we are singing it as walls are going up. | 0:49:33 | 0:49:38 | |
One. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:43 | |
# Is it getting better or do you feel the same? | 0:49:50 | 0:49:56 | |
# Will it make it easier on you now you got someone to blame? | 0:49:59 | 0:50:07 | |
# You say one love, one life | 0:50:08 | 0:50:13 | |
# When it's one need in the night | 0:50:14 | 0:50:19 | |
# One love, we get to share it | 0:50:20 | 0:50:24 | |
# Leaves you, baby if you don't care for it | 0:50:25 | 0:50:30 | |
# Did I disappoint you | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
# Leave a bad taste in your mouth? | 0:50:46 | 0:50:49 | |
# You act like you never had love and you want me to go without | 0:50:51 | 0:50:59 | |
# Well, it's too late tonight | 0:51:00 | 0:51:07 | |
# To drag the past out into the light | 0:51:07 | 0:51:12 | |
# We're one, but we're not the same | 0:51:12 | 0:51:15 | |
# We get to carry each other carry each other | 0:51:17 | 0:51:21 | |
# One | 0:51:21 | 0:51:25 | |
# Have you come here for forgiveness? | 0:51:33 | 0:51:36 | |
# Have you come to raise the dead? | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
# Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head? | 0:51:44 | 0:51:51 | |
# Did I ask too much more than a lot? | 0:51:54 | 0:51:58 | |
# You gave me nothing now it's all I got | 0:51:59 | 0:52:03 | |
# We're one, but we're not the same | 0:52:04 | 0:52:08 | |
# Well, we hurt each other then we do it again | 0:52:08 | 0:52:13 | |
# You say love is a temple love a higher law | 0:52:13 | 0:52:19 | |
# Love is a temple love the higher law | 0:52:19 | 0:52:24 | |
# You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl | 0:52:24 | 0:52:30 | |
# And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt | 0:52:30 | 0:52:38 | |
# One love, one blood, one life you got to do what you should | 0:52:38 | 0:52:46 | |
# One life with each other sisters, brothers | 0:52:49 | 0:52:58 | |
# One life, but we're not the same | 0:52:58 | 0:53:03 | |
# We get to carry each other carry each other | 0:53:03 | 0:53:08 | |
# One | 0:53:08 | 0:53:12 | |
# There's no-one else there's only us | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
# No-one else, there's only us | 0:53:35 | 0:53:39 | |
# No-one else, there's only us | 0:53:41 | 0:53:44 | |
# No-one else, there's only us | 0:53:46 | 0:53:49 | |
# Ooh-ooh | 0:53:50 | 0:53:53 | |
# Ooh-ooh | 0:53:56 | 0:53:58 | |

SONG: Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way | 0:54:47 | 0:54:50 | |
# It's not time to make a change | 0:54:52 | 0:54:56 | |
# Just relax and take it easy | 0:54:56 | 0:55:00 | |
-# You're still young THE EDGE: -One, two, three, four | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
# That's not your fault | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
# There's so much you have to know | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
# Find a girl, settle down | 0:55:08 | 0:55:11 | |
# If you want, you can marry | 0:55:12 | 0:55:16 | |
# Look at me, I'm old | 0:55:16 | 0:55:18 | |
# But I'm happy | 0:55:19 | 0:55:21 | |
# The door is open to go through | 0:55:28 | 0:55:35 | |
# If I could, I would come too | 0:55:36 | 0:55:40 | |
# But the path is made by you | 0:55:41 | 0:55:46 | |
# As you're walking start singing and stop talking | 0:55:46 | 0:55:50 | |
# Oh | 0:55:50 | 0:55:54 | |
# If I could hear myself when I say | 0:55:55 | 0:55:59 | |
# Oh | 0:56:01 | 0:56:04 | |
# Love is bigger than anything in its way | 0:56:06 | 0:56:12 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:56:12 | 0:56:17 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:56:17 | 0:56:22 | |
# So young to be the words of your own song | 0:56:22 | 0:56:29 | |
# I know the rage in you is strong | 0:56:30 | 0:56:34 | |
# So write a world where we can belong | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
# To each other and sing it like no other | 0:56:40 | 0:56:44 | |
# Oh | 0:56:44 | 0:56:48 | |
# If I could hear myself when I say | 0:56:49 | 0:56:53 | |
# Oh | 0:56:55 | 0:56:59 | |
# Love is bigger than anything in its way | 0:57:01 | 0:57:06 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:57:06 | 0:57:10 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:57:11 | 0:57:16 | |
# If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay | 0:57:16 | 0:57:22 | |
# Oh, sing your song let your song be sung | 0:57:22 | 0:57:27 | |
# If you listen you can hear the silence say | 0:57:27 | 0:57:33 | |
# When you think you're done you've just begun | 0:57:33 | 0:57:38 | |
# Love is bigger than anything in its way | 0:57:52 | 0:58:02 | |
# Love is bigger than anything in its way | 0:58:02 | 0:58:13 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:58:13 | 0:58:14 | |
# Love is bigger than anything in its way | 0:58:14 | 0:58:22 | |
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh | 0:58:22 | 0:58:24 | |
# Love is bigger Bigger | 0:58:24 | 0:58:30 | |
# Nothing you can do that can't be done | 0:58:30 | 0:58:34 | |
# All you need is love | 0:58:34 | 0:58:36 | |
