U2 and Streets

[Shawn Bonneau]

What is it with U2 and streets? They are always filming videos or having photo shoots on streets. "Desire", "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", "All Because of You" and of course, "Where the Sterets Have No Name". "Gloria" as well. Why is this? I do think it is cool.

also One, but mostly only trabants are shown driving through the streets of Berlin

Streets have no name

 

[the tourist]

Oh, but some do.

 

[HelloAngel]

That's a really interesting observation - I hadn't realized they had made so many videos on the streets. Maybe it comes from them wanting to seem like normal people, or their whole street gang-Lypton Village mentality...? I dunno.

Walk On and
The Fly have the street part as well

 

[korczykp]

BD right before he gets to the airport?

Stay, when Bono hits the ground at the end

 

[D'oh!]

Even Elevation was filmed on a street............

Streets represent progression, a moving closer to a destination. A journey. An experience.

Also, the video for "Sometimes You Can't Make It..." where Bono walks down Grafton Street.

You know, now that you mention it, U2 also seems to have an odd fascination with buildings and people as well in their photos and videos. You just might be on to something

 

[typhoon]

Don't forget "No Name Street" in "Please."

And have you ever looked out the window? There are fucking streets everywhere. Hence the fascination.
