Thank God, I did not have to sit there too long, only about 1.5hrs. More than enough for my taste. But it was worth it.
The bulk of the video was filmed at the Astrodome in Houston. The guys were probably just "blue screened" unto the back ground images. I doubt they would have flown back to Houston to film their scenes.

I almost missed it though, I was gonna check my tape to make sure it was ok to record on, the next thing you know I see a LEMON, then ugly John Madden comes out talking about a football game at the "unforgettable firedome" on a "sunday bloody sunday", that is all I needed to hear! I was jumping around like a fool, scared the heck out of my cats, but I taped it!!!

It is a light hearted video, I would have loved more band...especially Adam, he looked best!!! He was even wearing those sandals I love....gotta love a man who has a shoe thing, like myself!!! Okay, I gotta calm down, I just wanted to share my good news with you guys!!!

thanks Mona, i am still all giddy about it, there are so many U2 references in the video, most ppl probably won't get, but then, we Pleba gals, see all and know all about U2 stuff!!!!

I saw the video tonight too! At about 8:12 or so PM On MTV. Must have seen it the same time as you! LOL. Finally my persistent watching of MTV paid off. Saw many videos that I could have passed on, but I was hoping they would show U2 since they've been showing many videos from those who will perform at the VMAs and then I hear John Madden and I'm all excited, I pressed record on the VCR remote, lol and I was clapping and all happy as I watched the video.

Great video!

I guess U2 seem to like Joseph Kahn as a director, eh?

I'm glad you got to see it and you didn't have to suffer too long waiting for it! Maybe I'll give MTV a try, but just my luck I'll be tortured with hours of boy bands and shrieking girls and rap metal first!

about Joseph Khan...some ppl on EYKIW have been trashing the concept for the video, to tell you the truth, at first I thought,"wah....what the heck is john madden doing in a U2 video". I freaked out, but then I realised it is just a different take on the song. I am sure, the guys would not go with an idea that seemed "silly" to them. Looking at the video again, I like it, it is different, certainly not what I expected, but then that is what I love about U2. They keep it interesting for us (they keep us guessing)...and waiting for the upcoming tour dates!!!! Ahhhhhhh..... this waiting really bites!

I saw the video this morning on MTV2!!! I love Larry jumping up and down cheering, and Adam just sitting there reading the newspaper with his sandals.

I got so excited when it came on...it really made my morning!! I had a bad night...nothing but a little U2 lovin to cheer me up.

Maria-you are SO RIGHT!! He is SO CUT -I was just SO FORTUNATE to see it for myself up close-that his veins are a' poppin on those arms-but not in that hideous Stallone or Arnold way!

John Madden is an annoying American football commentator. He calls most of the National Football League's games, BTW...by annoying I mean he that he can be loud and obnoxious when he calls the games. In the end though, he is a well known sports announcer, so he was the obvious choice.

Of course, I also wanna see Adam's lovely feet in those cute sandals!


Anyone else around here with a thing for shoes?!?! I must own more than 100 pairs of shoes! I can't help it, I just love shoes!!!
