U2 perform GOYB at the Grammys Discussion Part II

[sue4u2]

does Adele speak English?

not sure but she reminded me of (what's her name on SNL that does everything better than others, like " I've won a hundred grammys")

anyway I like Adele's song and I'm glad she won new artist. But Robert Plant and Allison Krause beat her out for song of the year.

I you BonoComet

The visuals remind me a lot of the style of the Boston DVD, which is a good thing.

The chorus was the weakest part I think.

The repeated get on your boots lines at the end became a little cringeworthy, imo.

I thought the boys did fine considering they haven't had a chance to work the live kinks out of the song yet. Bad sound mix tho. I thought it was just my TV but apparently not. I shall refrain from commenting on Coldplay because there is some saying about "if you can't say something nice..." ahem.

Next year, U2 to sweep Grammys!

 

[popacrobat]

I love that U2 was one of the very few artists to not collaborate with someone else. They played their song, rocked the fuck out, and got out of there.

I agree with this.

 

[dirtyneon]

Jamd
I love the photos.
They look waaay better than I could see in TV. Yes that weren't good cameramen.

 

[Sicy]

Ok am I the only one that thought the beginning of the song resembled BTBS?

 

[ybab gnuthca]

I only got audio when I used the link. What am I doing wrong?

Are you using Windows Media Player?

 

[sfu2doc]

links to streams are ok, right?

Here is GOYB from tonight on dailymotion: http://.com/bs4ohx

I don't care if they loose or if they win. I don't care if people love them. I care that i used to like them and now i can't stand Chris Martin.

First record produced by Eno and he calls it their UF? C'mon! At least The Beatles were done for more than 20 years when the Gallaghers started all that sucking thing.

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

oh wow I LOVE the eyeliner. I think Bono should also get some botox maybe...

 

[digitize]

So then it would be CBS that will come after us? I'm not scared of them.
Universal are the ones I dont want to piss off.

Viacom has enough clout to take stuff down from YouTube, but they probably won't care about this, much less threaten legal action. Universal tends to turn a blind eye to bootlegs, and that's what this would be classified as. That's why U2Torrents and U2Start are alive and thriving without Uni caring. U2Start has a very liberal copyright-policy; anything and everything except DVD rips can go up as bootlegs (for instance, their second ZooTV Syndey night is a Westwood One radio broadcast of the already-edited concert). U2Torrents has a policy very similar to Interference's; no official material is allowed, including bootlegs of concerts that have been released in part or in whole officially. They allow this type of thing all the time.

2009 is U2's year. You can see the potential in their performance, it was just a number of technical faults letting it down. Overall I have to say, it left me excited and I've never seen the guys play so energetic.

 

[Sicy]

links to streams are ok, right?

Yep.

 

[bonoz]

Ok am I the only one that thought the beginning of the song resembled BTBS?

Kinda reminded me of Miami

 

[Lila64]

I only get audio with that mega upload link - how do I get the video portion?

 

[bonoz]

I think Bono was wearing either Mona Lisa or George Washington on his shirt.

 

[bonocomet]

Thank you for the download SamuelSmeloc!

 

[rjhbonovox]

Yeah not bad. I would have thought that people would understand with the amount of electronic effects in the studio version that its bound to sound a bit different live. Thought it was pretty good although I think Bono struggled with the vocals in the early verses. But the second part of the song was pretty good especially as Edges guitar was more prominent in "let me in the sound" bit which it should have been on the studio version. Yeah not bad, I can dig it!

 

[mikal]

i made an mp3. will have a link shortly.

Sicy, this is ok since it's live, right?

 

[popacrobat]

Ok am I the only one that thought the beginning of the song resembled BTBS?

at first i thought it was sort of like the "fez-being born" and how it sampled it before Edge's riff kicked in.

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Are you using Windows Media Player?

yeah, that's what popped open when the download finished.

Now that you mention it...

Thanks for the info. Yeah we allow concert bootleg links to be posted, and most unofficial material.

I think CBS are okay with You Tube. I was looking for some stuff from Letterman a few weeks ago, and there was tons of CBS video up. I think it's NBC that freaks out about it.

 

[Sicy]

Ok I got it up. We'll see how long this lasts.

YouTube - U2 at the Grammys 2009 - Get on Your Boots

 

[ErinKathleen]

The performance isn't nearly as bad as the comments led me to believe. The band sounded far better than they did when they played during inauguration weekend last month.

If anything, Bono seemed tired. Edge was all there.
