U2 performed this at halftime of the 2002 Super Bowl between the Patriots and Rams. As they played, names of victims in the September 11 attacks were scrolled on a giant screen. At the end of the performance Bono opened his jacket to reveal an American flag in the lining. "Where the Streets Have No Name" is more like the U2 of old than any of the other songs on the LP, because it's a sketch - I was just trying to sketch a location, maybe a spiritual location, maybe a romantic location. I was trying to sketch a feeling. I often feel very claustrophobic in a city, a feeling of wanting to break out of that city and a feeling of wanting to go somewhere where the values of the city and the values of our society don't hold you down. An interesting story that someone told me once is that in Belfast, by what street someone lives on you can tell not only their religion but tell how much money they're making - literally by which side of the road they live on, because the further up the hill the more expensive the houses become. That said something to me, and so I started writing about a place "where the streets have no name." - Bono from Propaganda 5, 1987

  2. TATE Says:
    Luisthedude...another truism. But we will never be able to "know" the truth about 9/11...that Bush needed it to to overthrow the Taliban who were telling him "no way are we going to let you run an oil pipeline through our country, from Russia"...Bush and Daddy Bush's Carlyle Group needed 9/11.... Have you ever read "Bin Laden: The Forbidden Truth"?

    It's great, but sadly the sound quality is kind of poor : (
  4. SENGHOR Says:
    awesome! love U2
  5. Dericka Says:
    a good tune to honor, but just because bono flashes out an american symbol, and i'm not bashing u2 they performed their music well, doesn't mean he, their music, or the listing of the names honored the victims, justice and truth is what truly brings peace and monument to all that has happened.
  6. Berenice Says:
    Nothing but respect for these guys. The way they have remained so relevant and important to the music industry as well as being such great human beings and all the while staying (for the most part) out of trouble, well it makes me wonder if another group will ever come close to these four men who dared to 'dream out loud'.
  7. Edita Says:
    Very well said. I agree on the Cahill book as well. Blessings...

    DAAAAMN MAAAN!
  9. RAFIK Says:
    One of the greatest live performances i have ever seen. U2 will live forever....in the hearts of people throughout the world.
  10. May Says:
    i would kill to see them live LONG LIVE U2
  11. BATT Says:
    Luisthedude....oh how true your words are. It is so sad to see alledged "patriotism" turned into venomous hatred. It's so sad that there are still Americans who think Saddam was responible for the WTC disaster. But on another note didn't U2 do an incredible job of honoring the innocent victims of 9/11 here in the US? Bono rocks and is such an incredible global humanitarian. Makes me proud of my Irish heritage.
  12. FLINT Says:
    Unfortunately New England. :) I am with you though could have topped this.
  13. Breri Says:
    There's alot of world politics bickering here on a video of a great performance by a rock band. Yes they did answer the tragedy Of 9-11 2001. But then looking into the history of the Irish. They have a remarkable sense of humanitism, a great intelligence of the world around them. I read a good book by Thomas Cahill. How the Irish Saved Civilization. It's worth reading. And then you see a band move so many people like they do, and like no other band can. you have to look at thier heritage.
  14. NANTRES Says:
    And you swallow for the liberal propaganda and anarchist pop culture who feeds you those lies.
  15. LINCOLN Says:
    hey qualityfemale, goes to show extreme patriotism can bring out such stupidity in people, as in the case with jakeupstudios comment
  16. Josh Says:
    The BEST live version of "where the streets have no name" is from "Slane Castle, Ireland"...it will give you goosebumps...trust me...its on youtube too! I was there!
  17. Faegan Says:
    God bless Ireland...God Bless America...God bless the World God bless U2
  18. Arelis Says:

  19. Tearlach Says:

  20. Hollee Says:
    yeah this stole the show, this performance beat the whole game
  21. Gedeon Says:
    I don“t remember who won the superbowl, but I remember this emotional moment in the history of rock.
  22. MONROE Says:
    thats what he world needs today (LOVE)!! all this war bullshit because of religion and crap, we should love thou neighbor as jesus says...
  23. Corri Says:
    U2 are saints. Their music touches people around the world, regardless of race, color, creed, politics, age, gender, finances etc. Celtic Saints! march 2,2009 U2 ''no line on the horizon'' !!!!
  24. Sheilah Says:
    This was an emotional moment for all Americans and gave them all a sense of pride and solidarity & brought them 2gether at a dark time! If that sent shivers down ur spine then watch this, type "sunday bloody sunday rattle & hum" into youtube. It is a live rendition of bloody Sunday which took place the same day as an IRA bombing in my country IRELAND...Bono makes an angry speech during it and gets very upset, conveying how WE all felt back home!! its remarkable and U2 at their very best!
