It was always difficult for Irish Rockers to make it big in America. The biggest Irish sensation in America since Gilbert O' Sullivan, 1971-73 era. Hello Again! Naturally. First big hit in America for U.2. I Will Follow-1980.

This outstanding performance, followed directly afterward with Queen’s also-stunning set, was historic and mind blowing.

Pensando na "quarta parede invisível teatral", reassistindo este vídeo de 1985, para mim é um exemplo das relações distantes que os universos midiáticos realizam em nossas sociedades inclusive atualmente com a internet disponível pelos celulares até para as crianças gerando o "paradoxo" das evoluções das comunicações humanas neste início de terceiro milênio com a internet disponível pelos telefones celulares até para as crianças, e "agora" temos a inteligência artificial que continua no mesmo nível de paradoxalidade...

The best version of one of the best songs ever written , it's hard to say which band stole the show that day but it had to be Queen or U2 , a show that can never be repeated or beaten
