U2 Sarajevo Kosevo Stadium Popmart Tour 23.09.1997
The famous Sarajevo concert by U2 in 23/9 1997, filmed from the stands. Bono had made a promise to the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina that he would come to Sarajevo with the band and play this concert, which is nowdays considered legendary both by the band and their fans in Sarajevo and the whole country.
The clip shows three songs: Pride (in the name of love), I still haven’t found what I’m looking for and Stand by me.
In the beginning of the concert Bono lost his voice and asked the crowd to carry him and sing with him. Edge sings the chorus of the first song.
This concert was some sort of a turning point for the youth in Bosnia and Herzegovina, making them feel alive again and a part of Europe after almost 4 years of isolation during the Serbian and Croatian agression on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
To this day the people of Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina remember this concert and will do so always. Everything that Bono and U2 did for the Bosnians remains in the hearts of everyone of us and for that we will forever be thankful!
