It seems a bit strange as Bono loves to be among the crowd and really connected to his listerners - that, you can't do from the rooftop with the crowd hundreds of feet below....!

Loving the beautiful Muslim girls @ 3:43 - to think these wonderful people are victims of a concerted campaign of hatred and demonisation by evil Zionists and the mass media that they control that is not dissimilar to the Nazi campaign of demonisation that the Jews suffered up to and during WW2.

@WhoDoYouWant It's because up there, the emotional connection to the crowd was much stronger. There's something about tens of thousands of people all experiencing a one-time event together... I'm sure the energy was raw for both band and crowd. I would just be thrilled to be up there, towering above everyone, next to my instrument... It would be so calming, yet I'd be feeding energy from the crowd at the same time. Which I'm sure is what happened here... Inspiring!!!

I saw them in concert in Madrid in 1987, it was apparent that, at least Bono, has a total John Lennon/Beatles fixation. I moved to San Francisco that fall. They did a surprise rooftop concert in San Francisco around that time. [cough] Beatles [cough]. nothin' wrong with the Beatles, and U2 rocks, but you know...

@KenfromDublin yea it does as its like teh best song ever, but I think there have been lots of versions of this song on youtube, and BBC were forcing this one taken off for a while at first, (they seemed to have stopped now), plus lots of poeple dont know what good music is X-D

@MitchB930 The Beatles were the first ones doing it, I guess. I still think that's an awsome idea!
