bonosgirl84, I remember seeing the video of A Celebration once and in the book The U2 File, I remember seeing photos of the video shoot. If I am upset with U2 about anything, its that they didn't include the song in the best of 80-90 set, which in turn meant that the video would have been on the best of vhs.

I am a fan of A Sort of Homecoming too, both versions.

With or without you. I first saw the video of the song back in 1988 and was totally blown away by Bonos performance, in his tight black jeans and waist coat!!

Christmas 1987. My two biggest requests were a new boom box and The Joshua Tree. Both were met. I put the JT tape into my new Sony double cassette/radio player (which put my crappy Panasonic, falling apart, filled with static, inherited from my older sister in the early 80's, previous player to shame). I cranked up the volume on my new glistening black box and surrounded by wrapping paper heard those first chords of Where the Streets Have No Name blaring through the house. I was 14, and I have never been the same since.

Wow, there sure are a lot of newbies--as far as U2 fans go--here. Late comers. Johnny come-latelies...LOL Hey, what's important is you saw the light and followed it.

I remember hearing I Will Follow first, but it didn't hook me. I got hooked with Gloria and NYD that I heard in a bar at college. Seems to me I always find at more than a few songs on each album (CD) to keep me hooked.

Beautiful Day got me hooked but was Streets and One Tree Hill that changed my way to see U2

New Year's Day - in the year of 1983.

Achtung Baby - Zooropa - Passengers & Pop renewed and perpetuated my respect and love for a band which had the balls to reinvent itself at the height of its success and doubled the bet with an awesome production thoroughout the past decade.
