00:00:14

00:00:17
try to um do things that no one has ever
00:00:20
seen or heard
00:00:21
before everybody has heard of you two a
00:00:25
band with an incredible career
00:00:26
trajectory a charismatic frontman and
00:00:30
hundreds of thousands of dedicated
00:00:32
fans their longevity have led many to
00:00:35
regard them as one of the biggest bands
00:00:38
in the
00:00:39
world we were a band in in this in a
00:00:42
sense as a Band of Brothers before we
00:00:44
were a successful musical thing so those
00:00:48
uh those early friendships and that
00:00:50
regard for one another stood Us in very
00:00:52
good stead and I think it it's given us
00:00:55
something that a lot of bands don't
00:00:58
have
00:01:00
they have sold in excess of 170 million
00:01:03
records and are still producing and
00:01:05
writing new
00:01:07
music setting records with their music
00:01:10
sales and award wins you to have never
00:01:13
struggled to maintain popularity with
00:01:15
their fans and audiences
00:01:18
alike initially rooted in Post Punk
00:01:21
you's musical style has evolved
00:01:23
throughout their career but has
00:01:25
maintained an anthemic quality built on
00:01:28
Bono's expressive vocals and the edges
00:01:31
effects based guitar
00:01:35
sounds you two have released 14 Studio
00:01:38
albums and are one of the world's
00:01:40
bestselling music
00:01:42
artists they have won 22 Grammy Awards
00:01:45
more than any other band and were

Fame as soon as they were
00:01:53
eligible their rise from smalltown Irish
00:01:56
kids to selling out stadiums worldwide

00:02:01
solidified their own legacy before

they've even retired from the music

airplanes at the moment was fog so our
00:13:13
plane with director would never be late
00:13:15
never keep Bob late never can you
00:13:17
believe that you're recording this again
00:13:19
30 years on from the original and that
00:13:21
it's still being used to raise money for
00:13:23
the the people in Africa we look we've
00:13:26
been trying to make this kind of event
00:13:29
thing of the past you know we want to
00:13:31
make Band-Aid history and um yeah for
00:13:35
quite some time and if every country was
00:13:37
as had the values of of of Great Britain
00:13:41
and kept the promises they make at these
00:13:43
big G8 meetings and the like we wouldn't
00:13:45
have to be standing here you know it's
00:13:47
it's these are not um it's not a failure
00:13:52
uh uh of of of of of Great Britain but
00:13:55
outside of this country we have a lot of
00:13:57
work to do and getting people to keep
00:13:58
their promises how do you feel
00:13:59
emotionally about taking part in this
00:14:01
today of course 30 years after you did
00:14:03
the original Band-Aid single as I say I
00:14:06
just wish I wish we in a way we didn't
00:14:08
have to do this and there will come a
00:14:10
time when we won't and that would be
00:14:12
great would it be great not to see the
00:14:13
same old faces this is what I'm excited
00:14:15
about today is sort of Star Trek the
00:14:17
Next Generation I like that that you
00:14:20

the band wanted to build on the
00:16:20
unforgettable fires textures but instead
00:16:23

with American Roots Music on the Joshua
00:18:43
Tree tour the record featured nine
00:18:46
Studio tracks and six live YouTube
00:18:48
performances during the last performance
00:18:51
of the tour promoting the album before a
00:18:53
HomeTown crowd in Dublin Bono said on
00:18:55
stage that it was the end of something
00:18:57
for YouTube too and that they had to go
00:18:59
away and just dream it all up
00:19:03
again they began work on their seventh
00:19:05
studio album o tongue baby at Berlin's
00:19:08
Hansa studios in October 1990 the
00:19:11
sessions were fraught with conflict as
00:19:14
the band argued over their musical
00:19:15
Direction and the quality of their
00:19:18
material weeks of tension and slow
00:19:21
progress nearly prompted the group to
00:19:23
break up until they made a breakthrough
00:19:25
with the improvised writing of the song
00:19:27
One

00:20:04
morale improved and the majority of the
00:20:07
album was
00:20:11
completed oong baby was released in
00:20:14
November 1991 the album represented a
00:20:17
change in Musical and thematic direction
00:20:20
for the group The Shift was one of their
00:20:22
most dramatic since the Unforgettable
00:20:24
Fire commercially and critically it has
00:20:27
been one of the Bands most successful
00:20:29
albums It produced five hit singles
00:20:31
including the fly mysterious ways and
00:20:35

as one of Rock's greatest in June 1993
00:21:17
You2 signed a long-term six album deal

00:21:22
following month the group released a new
00:21:25
album Zopa initially intended to be an
00:21:28
EP Zopa ultimately evolved into a
00:21:31
fulllength album it was an even greater
00:21:34
musical departure for the group delving
00:21:36
further into electronic industrial and
00:21:39
dance
00:21:40
music although the commercially
00:21:42
successful zura won the Grammy award for
00:21:44
best alternative music album in
00:21:47
1994 the band regarded with mixed
00:21:49
feelings as they felt it was more of an
00:21:52
interlude over the next couple years You

looking for a harder hitting rock sound
00:23:30
than that of all that you can't leave
00:23:32
behind you two began recording their
00:23:34
11th studio album how to dismantle an

atomic bomb in February

2003 released in November 2004 how to
00:23:43
dismantle an atomic bomb received
00:23:45
favorable reviews from critics the album
00:23:48
featured lyrics touching on Life Death
00:23:51
love war Faith and family it reached
00:23:55
number one in 30 countries including the
00:23:57
US
00:23:58
where first week sales of 840,000 copies
00:24:02
nearly doubled those of all that you
00:24:04
can't leave behind setting a personal
00:24:06
best for the band overall it sold 9
00:24:10
million copies
00:24:12
globally in 2006 You2 released a concert
00:24:16
film U2 3D which was the world's first
00:24:19
liveaction digital 3D film 3D technology
00:24:23
is relatively new um and I haven't seen
00:24:26
any of the other 3D films that are out
00:24:28
at the moment yet but certainly watching
00:24:30
it gives you a real perspective of of
00:24:32
being in the audience um and seeing a
00:24:35
real YouTube show you know what's nice
00:24:37
about it is instead of it being cut like
00:24:40
a a con like a video or a concert film
00:24:42
where a lot of Fast Cuts it's a lot
00:24:44
slower so you get the overall feel of
00:24:46
the band well it's a concert film and
00:24:49
I'm in it uh with my friends Bono Adam
00:24:51
and Larry and uh it's um it's a 3D film
00:24:56
and it's hopefully it's going to rock
00:24:58
the house uh we'll find out how did you
00:25:01
come up with the idea well it was an
00:25:02
idea I mean Katherine our director and
00:25:05
came to us with the project and she said
00:25:08
it's uh it's going to hopefully be a
00:25:11
great uh record of you know you two
00:25:14
playing at at their best so um we we
00:25:18
signed up and I think she was right it's
00:25:22
if nothing else it is a great record of
00:25:25
what we did during that time in South
00:25:27
America
00:25:28
they also released an autobiography in
00:25:31
2006 titled you two by you two well
00:25:34
there is one enormous ego and it's not
00:25:37
mine it's it's a sort of it's a shared
00:25:40
one it's just in four pieces and no one
00:25:44
cares who wins an argument in our band
00:25:47
as long as you know the song is better
00:25:50
the show is better that's really it it's
00:25:53
kind of not not that complicated our our
00:25:56
sort of uber ego that we have as a band
00:25:58
is bigger than our individual ones and I
00:26:01
think a lot of bands that started out
00:26:02
with us that was not the case there were
00:26:05
probably more talented people around who
00:26:07
never just figured that one out you talk
00:26:10
in the book actually about needing the
00:26:11
agulation of the fans and getting a
00:26:14
massive buzz off that there are a lot of
00:26:15
fans here today what is your
00:26:16
relationship with your fans well we have
00:26:19
the best fans in the world um they've
00:26:22
got the best taste in music they really
00:26:24
recognize intelligent smart tall how
00:26:27
handsome we are but but to be serious
00:26:31
for a second I think uh our fans are
00:26:34
really smart and they really pay
00:26:37
attention and over the years what's been
00:26:40
incredible for us is to see how we might
00:26:42
get stumble into something get involved
00:26:45
with something but it's our fans who
00:26:46
actually really make a difference you
00:26:50
know also in 2006 Bono founded the
00:26:53
company product red along with Bobby
00:26:55
Shriver of the one campaign
00:26:58
the company seeks to engage the private
00:27:00
sector in raising awareness and funds to
00:27:02
help eliminate HIV AIDS in eight African
00:27:06
countries so many people um 6 and a half
00:27:10
thousand every day dying of this
00:27:11
preventable treatable
00:27:13
disease in Africa it's astonishing and
00:27:17
we're losing the war against AIDS and
00:27:20
this is going to help turn it
00:27:21
around it has several licensed
00:27:23
Partnerships with mainstream companies
00:27:26
such as Apple Starbucks and Converse as
00:27:29
part of a new business model each
00:27:31
partner company creates a product with
00:27:33
the product red logo all of the funds
00:27:35
generated by Red partners and events go
00:27:38
to Global fund programs that provide
00:27:40
medical care and support services for
00:27:42
people affected by HIV AIDS in Africa no
00:27:46
overhead is taken by either red or the
00:27:48
global fund red is the largest private
00:27:51
sector donor to the global fund and has
00:27:53
generated over $600 million for HIV
00:27:56
programs in AA Africa as of July 2019
00:28:00
one of the things about red is it's not
00:28:02
just about the money raised 330 odd
00:28:05
million it's about the Heat and the
00:28:06
excitement you guys covering us that
00:28:09
makes it a priority for a politician if
00:28:11
it's
00:28:14
popular you's album no line on the
00:28:17
horizon was released in February 2009
00:28:20
more than 4 years after how to dismantle
00:28:23
an atomic bomb marking the longest gap
00:28:26
between albums of the band career to
00:28:28
that point it received generally
00:28:30
positive reviews including their first
00:28:33
five-star Rolling Stone review the album
00:28:35
debuted at number one in over 30
00:28:38
countries but its sales of 5 million
00:28:40
were seen as a disappointment by YouTu
00:28:42
standards and it did not contain a hit
00:28:45
single the group embarked on the YouTu
00:28:48
360 Tour in June 2009 the 360 Tour
00:28:53
concerts featured the band playing
00:28:54
stadiums in the round on a circular
00:28:56
stage allowing the audience to surround
00:28:59
them on all sides the U2 tour travels
00:29:02
with u 132 technicians which go to every
00:29:05
show and there's 30 staging people which
00:29:07
erect the the structure that we hang our
00:29:09
PA sound and lights on we have 112 truck
00:29:12
drivers and 12 bus drivers so and then
00:29:15
then we have a band of course those a
00:29:16
few of us not only are there no shows
00:29:18
now there never have been any show as
00:29:20
expensive as this but there's never been
00:29:22
a show that has done these numbers we'll
00:29:24
do over 7 million people over the course
00:29:26
of this tour um the tour will gross over
00:29:29
$700 million over the course of the tour
00:29:31
and every record will be broken by a
00:29:33
significant margin over anything
00:29:34
previous and I dare say the records that
00:29:36
you're going to see from this tour won't
00:29:38
be
00:29:39
touched by its conclusion in July 2011
00:29:43
U2 360 had set records for the highest
00:29:47
grossing concert tour and most tickets
00:29:49
sold for a
00:29:54
tour in 2010 Bono and the edge announced
00:29:57
they had been working on lyrics and
00:29:59
music for a new musical Spider-Man turn
00:30:01
off
00:30:02
thear the musical was based on the 2002
00:30:06
Spider-Man film and Incorporated
00:30:08
elements of the
00:30:10
[Applause]
00:30:16
story the production included highly
00:30:19
technical stunts such as aerial combat
00:30:21
scenes an actor swinging from webs being
00:30:24
described early on as the most
00:30:26
technically comp Lex show ever on
00:30:28
Broadway with 27 aerial sequences of
00:30:31
characters flying and engaging in aerial
00:30:33
combat still the one thing people one
00:30:37
show people want to go and see when they
00:30:38
go to the city you know when they come
00:30:40
to New York cuz it's a New York story
00:30:42
Spider-Man it's his hometown I mean he's
00:30:45
from Queens but it's New York and Mary
00:30:49
Jane's from Queens you know where Joey
00:30:51
Ron comes from it also included a
00:30:54
multitude of moving set pieces that put
00:30:56
the audience in the the middle of the
00:30:57
action and enough projections onto giant
00:31:00
screens that Bono said it is like a
00:31:02
three-dimensional graphic novel The
00:31:05
Musical celebrated 1,000 shows in May
00:31:08
2013 well they said it couldn't be done
00:31:11
they said that Spider-Man would never
00:31:13
fly on Broadway but here we are a
00:31:15
thousand shows in so we're feeling
00:31:18
pretty good tonight and so happy for the
00:31:20
the cast who are amazing and who you
00:31:24
know come on stage every night and just
00:31:27
knock it out of the park so we're very
00:31:30
humble to be collaborators with them
00:31:33
they're
00:31:35
amazing however the Broadway production
00:31:37
was Notorious for its many troubles
00:31:40
several actors were injured while
00:31:41
performing stunts and the opening night
00:31:44
was repeatedly delayed following initial
00:31:46
negative reviews the musical suspended
00:31:49
performances for another month to rework
00:31:51
The Show by the time Spider-Man turn off
00:31:54
the dark officially opened in June 2011
00:31:56
it had set the record for the longest
00:31:58
preview period in Broadway history with
00:32:01
182 performances critical reception of
00:32:04
the opening was better than for the
00:32:06
previews but still mixed Spider-Man
00:32:09
turnoff theark is the most expensive
00:32:11
Broadway production in history with a
00:32:13
budget of $75 million and also once held
00:32:17
the box office record for Broadway Sales
00:32:19
in one week taking in $2.9 million over
00:32:22
N9 performances the production closed on
00:32:25
January 4th 2014
00:32:27
at a massive Financial
00:32:29
loss on the 9th of September 2014 you
00:32:33
two appeared at an Apple product launch
00:32:35
event to make a surprise announcement of
00:32:37
their 13th studio album Songs of
00:32:40
Innocence they released it digitally the
00:32:43
same day to all iTunes Store customers
00:32:45
at no cost making it available to over
00:32:48
500 million people in what Apple CEO Tim
00:32:51
Cook called the largest album release of
00:32:54
all time Songs of Innocence recall calls
00:32:57
the group members youth in Ireland
00:32:59
touching on childhood experiences loves
00:33:01
and losses while paying tribute to their
00:33:04
musical
00:33:05
Inspirations Bono described it as the
00:33:07
most personal album we've
00:33:10
written you know the songs really always
00:33:13
give you the clue as to how to perform
00:33:15
them and where to perform them and we
00:33:18
wanted to have um uh have uh to be back
00:33:23
indoors again and we're using this
00:33:26
contraption behind you which looks like
00:33:28
a yellow Berlin Wall um um this divider
00:33:32
we're using this translucent canvas to
00:33:36
tell sort of stories behind those songs
00:33:38
where we came from there a lot of it in
00:33:40
Dublin in the 70s and we recreate 10
00:33:44
Cedarwood Road where I grew up and
00:33:46
Cedarwood Road my mates and and um this
00:33:50
is the inspiration behind Songs of
00:33:52
Innocence the record received mixed
00:33:55
reviews and Drew criticism for its
00:33:57
digital release strategy it was
00:33:59
automatically added to users iTunes
00:34:01
accounts which did not appeal to a large
00:34:03
amount of
00:34:05
users of great human rights abuses of
00:34:08
our time yeah I'm not sure uh the Apple
00:34:13
gift this is a company that more than
00:34:16
anybody's trying to get uh artists paid
00:34:19
you know they got a I think they got a
00:34:22
backlash a sort of big Tech backlash
00:34:25
because people fear oh my God these
00:34:26
companies know too much about us Apple
00:34:28
doesn't they actually just they just
00:34:30
know your your your your music like
00:34:32
that's all all they're interesed is your
00:34:33
music I thought it was quite a poetic
00:34:35
thing to do to rewards people who paid
00:34:38
for music who pay for music with a free
00:34:41
gift of our music they they paid us um
00:34:45
um modestly and we were grateful for
00:34:48
that we've got to experiment you got to
00:34:51
try new things and I mean the new thing
00:34:54
is the new thing for all of 15 minutes
00:34:56
these days days and right now a lot of
00:34:59
artists are trying to figure out how to
00:35:02
fix the issue of CD sales going down so
00:35:06
fast and and free music on the internet
00:35:09
that no one's paying for being being so
00:35:11
huge so this is just one attempt at
00:35:13
figuring that out and I'm sure there'll
00:35:15
be others coming along and um at some
00:35:18
point we will fix it but right now it's
00:35:21
it's really bad for up andc coming
00:35:22
artists particularly because no one can
00:35:24
afford these days to make records or go
00:35:27
on the road so it's it's it's actually
00:35:30
kind of serious well if you go on the
00:35:31
road you can sort of survive but if
00:35:34
you're a song writer you're really
00:35:35
successful band yeah but if you're a if
00:35:37
you're a Young Band you can't afford to
00:35:39
go on the road yeah in 2016 you two
00:35:43
worked on their next studio album songs
00:35:45
of experience which was intended to be a
00:35:48
companion piece to Songs of
00:35:50
Innocence songs of experience was
00:35:53
released on the 1st of December
00:35:55
2017 the first single you're the best
00:35:58
thing about me is one of many songs from
00:36:00
the album that are letters written by

[Music]
00:39:38
2002 you two are regarded as one of the
00:39:41
greatest pop rock acts of all time and
00:39:43
have sold an estimated 150 to 170
00:39:47
million records worldwide placing them
00:39:50
among the bestselling music artists in
00:39:53
history you know we we uh we were a band
00:39:55
in in the in a sense as a Band of
00:39:58
Brothers before we were a successful
00:40:00
musical commercial thing so those uh
00:40:04
those early friendships and that regard
00:40:07
for one another uh still it's in very
00:40:09
good stead and I think it it's given us
00:40:13
something that a lot of bands don't have
00:40:14
you know when when you go through a
00:40:15
difficult time that's when you you you
00:40:18
got to make these decisions sometimes
00:40:20
what's what's the important thing and
00:40:21
for us I don't think it's ever changed
00:40:23
it's always this concept that we all
00:40:26
have to win but it's not good enough for
00:40:27
one or two individuals to to kind of
00:40:31
succeed that the collective has to win
00:40:34
uh otherwise we
00:40:37
fail you two have eight albums that have
00:40:40
reached number one in the US the third
00:40:42
most of any group they were the first
00:40:45
group to attain number one albums in the
00:40:47
US in the 1980s 1990s 2000s and
00:40:53
[Music]
00:40:55
2010s
00:40:57
the amount of hits they've released have
00:40:59
allowed them to produce three
00:41:00
compilation albums to date featuring
00:41:03
their best love singles and classic
00:41:05
[Music]
00:41:08
songs he love this this is this is is
00:41:12
what we do we try to be Innovative we
00:41:15
try to um do things that no one has ever
00:41:17
seen or heard before that's what we did
00:41:20
with zo TV that's what we're doing on
00:41:22
popmart that's we did with 360 that's
00:41:24
what we're doing now and at the heart of
00:41:27
it though is an idea that started way
00:41:30
back in the late 70s in around the time
00:41:33
when we were little sort of Post Punk
00:41:35
combo um which is this idea of sort of
00:41:37
breaking through the fourth wall you
00:41:39
know and and seeing that there's no
00:41:43
divide between your audience and
00:41:44
yourself trying to smash that
00:41:48
divide you two are regarded as one of
00:41:51
the greatest pop rock acts of all time
00:41:54
they are often commended for writing
00:41:55
songs about about things that are
00:41:56
important and resonate With Their
00:41:58
audience keeping them a fan favorite
00:42:01
through the decades of their career
00:42:03
despite never wanting to be a Nostalgia
00:42:06
act you two are now embracing their
00:42:08
legacy and the mark they have imprinted
00:42:10
on the music industry accepting their
00:42:13
status as a legacy band but one thing is
00:42:16
for sure you two aren't going to remain
00:42:19
in the past they're still going to
00:42:21
release new music and they're still
00:42:23
going to try and score hits even if they
00:42:26
no the odds are against them we're back
00:42:29
we're back and
00:42:32
um we you know we're hard to get rid
