It's going to take some time getting used to the song but it's an interesting video.

I saw Edge at the end.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Like I said in the EYKIW version of this thread....I'm not fond of the video at the moment cause I think it's just too much (and it's confusing) for me.

But hopefully with each showing I'll get used to it. Still love the song though

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Thanks for finding this! Very interesting and well made especially the end when you saw brief glimpses of our guys in amongst the crowd of adoring fans!

 

[europop2005]

I LOVE IT!!! THE LITTLE LIGHT FLASHES REMIND ME OF STARING AT THE SUN

I have to say imo I think it looks like crap, I can see the point of it, but I wanted to see U2 (the brief glimpses just don't cut it for me).

 

[Ancalagon]

A very cool vid. Looking for U2 is like Where's Wally.

 

[BonoFox1]

^^^ Yeah I see Edge..but what happened to the filming of the video in Australia??...there might be another version

hmmm..I only saw Edge!! will go back and look..so basically the premise of the video is that U2 are fans of all these famous singers....

I so love this video and the idea behind it. U2 paying respect and tribute to all of this artists from yesterday and today is just so awsome! Artistically, this is one of the greatest videos ever made. Still wonder though if there will be another one, since they apparently filmed something in Australia.

 

[mysticchild]

I just love this song so much and it is so happy and positive.....beautiful lyrics and a very touching video...Thank you........

Personally I love this video, and I think this is very adequate for the 30th anniversary. For me it says that altough now they are also in the Pantheon of Music Legends, they have not forgotten the reason they started all this: because they were fans of music, and this is still the reason why they are always trying to be better musicians.
The message is beautiful, the video is catchy.
Of course, this is just my two cents....

The screencaps are not very good as I am not a guru of making them at all, but I think they are recognizable.

They filmed the crowd shots in Australia.

I watched this first and forgot to turn my sound up and thought it was not a u2 video and got confused... but once I turned the sound up and replayed it I thought it was brilliant.. probably cos like u2 I can remember the influence those artist's had on my music taste as as well, so I can share the journey with them and made the connection.. Oh that cheered me up no end

 

[bonocomet]

Thanks for posting it

 

[Nuala]

The first few seconds I was like "what the heck?" but after I understood what was going on I really got into it! They packed alot of great artists in a short video! I actually got teary eyed at the end! I liked the guys showing up in the crowd also. I give it a big

 

[a-mole]

awesome!!!!
especially that they got the artists to "lipsync" it
I just love it. It shows soo many of my other beloved musicians

 

[tbird]

can you imagine the work that went into finding and matching all that not to mention working with multiple record companies and estates to get permissions & rights... wow... big job, well worth it though b/c the video is terrific. At first I was like, this stinks, where are the boyz... then I watch it again and was smiling ear to ear...its very sweet

 

[tbird]

and THANKS EDGEETTE!!! TERRIFIC FIND!!!

 

[Galeongirl]

I can totally understand the reason for the video, but I've only one question left for U2.... WHY?????


I don't like the video at all, but I LOVE the song... it could have been huge... but with a crap video like this, no chance at all!

Well said. I love this video! I love how it shows that they are still fans of music as well as being musicians.

Thanks for posting link, Edgette

 

[Kristin Machina]

Because rock stars are fans, too--that's why I love that video!

Plus, it's like a game of "Identify All the Musicians in the Video."
