Great performance, don't ya think?

 

[powerhour24]

Love it, I've been watching/listening to it a bunch this week actually.

 

[annie_vox]

One of my favourite Slane performances. I shiver when I see it. It seems like suddenly they're all 18 again...

 

[JCOSTER]

Puts me in a trance....totally amazing!

 

[Lancemc]

My favorite track off the Slane DVD.

 

[2861U2]

I remember the first time I saw that, I thought that Bono was referring to God during the father part. It made perfect sense to me, and it took me a long time to eventually realize that he actually was referencing his father.

 

[canedge]

I agree. I rememeber seeing that track and having the same feeling when I first heard U2 in my teens...

Probably the best track they have released in 10 years...

 

[coach]

When they go into it for the final verse , after the 500 pounds rant and seeing EVERYONE at the gig jumping is my favorite part in any u2 video release ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Edgeman]

My favorite track off the Slane DVD.

I totally agree.

 

[Thora]

My favorite track off the Slane DVD.

Mine as well!

Absolutely brilliant! Must watch this DVD again soon!

 

[Jeannieco]

Yes, INCREDIBLE!!

 

[U2Man]

The awesome crowd made this the finest moment on any U2 dvd.

 

[corianderstem]

Great performance, don't ya think?

Yes, yes, a thousand times YES!

It sure is dude! Bono's voice has such passion it really is great...

 

[BoyStupidBoy88]

I loved the 500 pounds part.

 

[Chizip]

Speaking of the 500 pounds part, does anybody else chuckle when Bono says "We're not going to stay in London, we're not going to go to New York City, we're going to stay and base our crew in Dublin! Because these people, this is our tribe!"

he forgot to mention, "Well unless we can get a tax break somewhere else, then we'll leave"

 

[U2Man]

u2 still lives in dublin

u2 still pays private taxes in dublin

u2 has paid more taxes than any other irishman

 

[Chizip]

u2 still lives in dublin

u2 still pays private taxes in dublin

u2 has paid more taxes than any other irishman

here's a quote from Bono in 2005

"People think that artists in Ireland are tax free. Our publishing, which is about one third of our income, we have tax breaks on, and that's great and that's encouraged us to stay in Ireland and if that changes, it's not going to affect anything for U2 - but young U2s might have to leave and that would be a shame," said Bono.

Looks like Bono had a change of heart.

Anyway, that's neither here nor there.

Out of Control

 

[U2Man]

bono doesn't decide anything. it's the big bald guy that decides that sort of stuff.

 

[U2Man]

bono is full of shit.

 

[phillyfan26]

Didn't like them changing the riff on that version.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

I like watching this, but I enjoy the audio from the live b-side to COBL taken from the Brooklyn Bridge pre-tour show.

 

[U2girl]

sure

I love that version, even though Bono messes up nearly every chorus.

Same here, really a great moment. I've watched it countless times.

 

[prisz25]

how funny I was actually watching slane a few nights ago! I love this performance!! Out of Control is an amazing song in the first place and then their energy as they are rocking it out is awesome!

 

[theu2fly]

This song really stood out for me on the DVD... it the combination was great...

Until The End Of The World
New Year's Day
Out Of Control

It can't get any better than that, that was a great trio...

I remember putting on some good headphones and listening to this, the audience clapping in unison, the jumping... definitely a great track.

 

[Lemon95]

Also my favorite song from Slane. Why isn't Out of Control a staple of every concert?!?!
