If there’s one guy whose music video links I don’t ignore, it’s my ex-colleague Tay. Emily Haines’ voice is like an angel’s.

U2 live… on YouTube

Posted in Music tagged , , , at 1:13 pm by puregreenjade

The stream sucks because our connection is so 3rd world…
But I just wanted to release some excitement of hearing them play an old classic! They’re playing The Unforgettable Fire now, sighh…

u2

Omg Sunday Bloody Sunday. The Edge rocks.

They dedicated ‘Walk On’ to Aung San Suu Kyi and got volunteers and Amnesty International to walk out. Isn’t the stadium massive?

“One” is playing now!! Or at least, I’m hearing it now, lol. My stream’s a bit slow. They got Desmond Tutu to give inspiring words and then it lead to the song. Amazing!

Here’s another screenshot of how huge the place is.

And omg again!! Bono started out with Amazing Grace, and then the strains of “Where The Streets Have No Name” start coming in. Awesome stuffff. I forgot how much I love U2!

More stadium madness:

Whoa… another great classic, one of the most loved rock ballads, “With Or Without You”. I love the extra stanzas they add for their live performances. Wonder if they’ll do it here. (Guess not!)

Bono asked everyone to hold their phones up. Isn’t it cool? Like a little Milky Way.

They said good bye :(

The rebroadcast is starting soon. Awesome stuff, U2… thanks for making my day!

Whoaa… I almost freaked out. I felt… light, happy, like Providence finally a nice gift for me! Even though it’s right now kind of a “might”, “maybe” thing and a million things could come and fuck it up, like PAS Youth declaring the band will corrupt the youth and get them barred from entering or imposing stupid restrictions that’ll turn the band off this country for 3 lifetimes… I still felt, wow, there is nothing like the present that is full of open doors of opportunities…

Lol.

I immediately Googled Ed Ved for a little evening fix.

Okay just add a bit more scruffiness and a bit more weight, and he looks practically the same today :P

The last I checked last week, Rock Corner still hasn’t brought in Backspacer the new album. Curse you, currrseee you Rock Corner. I’ll go check it again today.
