Ten 80s videos I like - #3 Where the Streets Have No Name

U2 has sold-out countless stadium concerts and generated millions of revenue over the last 15 to 20 years.  However, tickets and money aside, the band reached it's peak in 1987 with the album The Joshua Tree, and this video shows them at the height of their powers.  I must acknowledge the purists in that the album version is dubbed over and some of the police issues were edited and exaggerated for greater effect.  Nevertheless, live music has a special power and you can see the Angelenos enjoying the free concert given by the Irish quartet.  It's three videos in one:  the band, the police, and the fans in the streets.
