I so wish it was shown in Melbourne
Many thanks Apple and Zane for producing this series on U2, it's amazing to see such a legendary band taking the lead!
At least open with a band with a singer who can still sing live and hasn’t turned their songs into spoken word tracks.
OK, so are they playing live or are they miming?? What's the purpose of the pre-recorded music??
Bring back Rock to People. 5.000$ for a ticket??? Music for elitists. Megalomania.
It's very sad…watch them become what they hated 30 years ago.
This is so much of what I love about U2. The music and the message, but also the show. Bono, I think is incapable of not being a showman. It's musical theatre, and magic, and madness on stage.
WE USED TO CAMPAIGN AGAINST ATOMIC ENERGY, THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH ACTIVISTS SOME DON'T HAVE A CLUE AND SOME ARE THERE JUST FOR THEIR EGO OR PERSONAL INTEREST.
AS A MUSICIAN , THE LAST PERSON I WOULD ASK FOR WISDOM ON TRANSCENDENT TOPICS IS ANOTHER MUSICIAN, SPECIALLY IF THAT PERSON IS BONO.
yes, so old and ignoring energy and global warming..
Hermoso!
Necesitamos a Lady Gaga ahí!!! ❤
Please stop allowing the annoying, faux-hipster, Zane to ruin these great moments. He’s insufferable.
U2 a melhor banda do mundo ❤️👑
not sure how this interviewer got this job, but he probably has one of the coolest jobs in the world.
I used to love them. Now I can't stand them. Just STOP talking.
Zane Lowe is kind of useless in there. He fails to articulate his feelings much of the time.I want to see a better interviewer in an opportunity like this next time.
U2 was the perfect band to inaugurate the sphere
Hard to tell what is more repulsive at this stage. The Futurama-pickled heads of U2, the world-class butt-kissing antics of mr. Lowe, or that hideous bulb in the desert. Perfect combination in a sense, though.
Watching this after being at The Sphere on Thursday for the show. Absolutely unreal.
Do any1 thing with it bono
Lap top
We went Sunday Night and it was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! U2!!!!!
I saw these guys at The Bronco Bowl in Dallas, TX and 2 other times since… this will bring it full circle. Can't believe the price but I'm so close I just need one comment to convince me.
I do doubt that new fans will be here at $600+ a seat. That's only for the few. Not very Christian.
(we did not believe you in the last two records)
Was there on night 2. These videos don't do it justice. Is a remarkable experience that takes a minute to adjust to
Let me know when TOOL is going to show what can really be done with this place.
I will never ever forgive U2 for FORCING their "music" on my phone without my consent. They did that because they have like 4 or 5 fans who listen to their dad rock garbage. Rap and hip-hop have taken over. U2 is old. I bet you they sold like 10 tickets.
Saw the Zoo TV tour at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego back in the 90s, Public Enemy opened up. Great concert!
BONO.. The Pompous Frequently Flyer to Jeff Epstein's Island. Not good…
Epic and overwhelming
I’m glad Zane you were able to get your tongue out of their arses to do the voice overs for this Doc.
I think this idea of a "Making of…" pre-documentary makes sense because it anticipates an entertainment milestone and, from what I can gather, it delivers.
Cant wait till you guys bring kendrick in bere!
Brilliant creativity
The sphere is tailor made for u2. And achtung baby album justifies that statement!
Wonder if Noel Gallagher went to the opening show
The manchester Co-op live arena is not even open and it's already out of date compared to the Sphere. unreal.
GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!! & EVERYTHING!!!! IT'S ONLY ROCK & ROLL!! & I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!
We want to be carbon neutral but we're gonna burn 1,000,000,000 kilowatts to show how much we care
I’m becoming highly concerned Larry is sick; not injured. God I desperately hope I’m wrong.
Haha nice text. Loved watching Zane utterly ham-it-up for the cam.
Imagine what Pink Floyd could do here!
Too bad Pink Floyd isn’t around. I hope they build one these in a few more states.
