Live performances
ResponderEliminarBono during the performance of "Pride" at the 2009 We Are One concert
"Pride" was first played live at the fourth show of the Unforgettable Fire Tour on 2 September 1984 in the New Zealand city of Auckland.[15] The song was played at virtually every U2 concert since the Unforgettable Fire Tour although it was played infrequently on 2009's 360 Tour. As of 2009, it is the band's most played song with over 770 documented performances, though "I Will Follow" has likely been performed more often.[16] Clips from Martin Luther King speeches are often shown on the various tour video screens during these performances. In 2010, in Brisbane Australia, the final verse was changed to reflect the 30th anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon (December 2010).
U2 performed the song, along with "City of Blinding Lights", to upwards of 400,000 people on 18 January 2009 at the We Are One concert at the Lincoln Memorial to celebrate the upcoming inauguration of Barack Obama.[17][18] At the end of the performance Bono asked the audience to sing for King's dream, saying it was "not just an American dream; also an Irish dream, a European dream, an African dream", before referencing it to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and saying that it was "an Israeli dream, and also a Palestinian dream."[18] The performance of "Pride" closed off with Bono quoting part of King's speech "I Have a Dream", saying "Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring! Let freedom ring! Every village, every hamlet, every state, every city. Let freedom ring!" before seguing into "City of Blinding Lights".[18] Adam Clayton later said "We were scratching our heads going, 'How does an Irish band get invited to play at the Presidential Inauguration?' Our way in was through a song like 'Pride'. It allowed Obama's people to express the connection without being too overt. It was one of those moments where you know the world is watching, but a healthy amount of anxiety gets your mojo working."[19]
Live performances of "Pride" appear on the concert films Rattle and Hum (both the album and motion picture), Zoo TV: Live from Sydney, PopMart: Live from Mexico City, U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago, Live from Paris, and U2 3D.
