Featured review
Outstanding and memorable musical moment
"U2: Where the Streets Have No Name" is a masterful music video and also one of the greatest moments for the band echoing the spirit of "The Beatles: Let
it Be" where a musical group perform the song on the rooftop of a building complicating the traffic down there with a large crowd watching the act. If I'm
not mistaken The Million Dollar Hotel (or a building nearby) was the location in L. A. and here the police movement is non stop and before the music starts to
play we can see they try to stop the whole act and recording of the clip there. It's an amazing and spectacular performance and unlike The Beatles where they're
too far from the public here the audience can get a good glimpse of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. It's one of my favorite musical moments
with an impecable and unforgettable sound, very poetic and with a crystal clear sound, pure and inspired rock n'roll. Outstanding and hardly ever repeated.
