Sarajevo under the music. U2 concert at the Kosevo stadium
Posted by: admin / Category: U2 FansU2 was the first band able to host a concert in the city since the end of the war, and the band was very pleased to be present there at the time. As per the Sarajevans’ request, the show was not a benefit concert, and the band performed just as they did in any other city on the tour. The actual winner of the Miss Sarajevo pageant, Inela Nogic, was present at that show, and was escorted to the concert with the band themselves. Bono lost his voice during the concert, and unfortunately messed up during the performance of “Miss Sarajevo,” and said afterwards, “Sarajevo, this song was written for you. I hope you like it, because we can’t fucking play it.” In reference to the performance, Larry Mullen Jr. said, “That was an experience I will never forget for the rest of my life. And if I had to spend 20 years in the band just to play that show, and have done that, I think it would have been worthwhile. “For two magical hours, the rock band U2 achieved what warriors, politicians and diplomats could not: They united Bosnia.” Trains ran for the first time since the war to enable people to see the concert, though they were stopped again afterward. Bono later called the Sarajevo show “one of the toughest and one of the sweetest nights of my life.” This concert was in a way a turning point for the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina, making them feel alive again and part of Europe after almost 4 years of isolation due to the war.

thanks a lot for posting this. i’ve been searching for any footage from this concert for years, but the stuff seams to be extremely rare. i’ve been to many great concerts after this, but this one is special. it was very emotional and dramatic, and i’m sure nobody in the crowd minded bono losing his voice that night. i don’t know if he cried, i was standing too far away, but i know i did. i just hope they’ll play again in sarajevo sometimes

Is there any chance to post the entire concert on rapidshare or something like that?

This was my first “big name” and post-war concert and it will probably be the best concert ever that I have attended.
Thank you Bono, thank you Edge, thank you Larry, thank you Adam!

This is great stuff. Why isn’t there more video from this concert available to the public? I taped it off the radio at the time and listened to it non-stop until sadly losing it.
The fact that Bono lost his voice only added to the drama of this amazing event.
