in Southern California
that they were being going to be
shooting their video here in LA
at seventh and Main Street.
- Seventh and Main Street's not one
of your more fun neighborhoods.
And they'll be shooting on top of a
one story building there.

down there because it
is like not what it is.
Delightful neighborhoods.

a major thoroughfare
at 3:30 in the afternoon.
Okay.
What I was explaining
to Ben there is we would have to go
on what's called attack alert to
get this problem solved.
But, we're not going to do that.
- And U2 today, it's seventh and Maine.
If you haven't heard about it

limits that we cannot control.
You can't promise me that.

30,000 people and we're gonna give you the
the biggest security problem.
We're gonna have like four
We may have 400,000 people there.
We may have to bring in the
Ahhh.
- National Guard
- The police department
has the authority to
shut these locations down.
- I understand that.
- And that is exactly what we're doing.
And I apologize to you
for having to have all
your equipment moved out of here.
But, its over as of now.
- And there is no compromise?
- There is no compromise.
- Roll set!
- Calling all cameras
- Word that we got was
another rodeo station
Went on the air with
paranoid warnings and uh
said things about they were expecting
crowds of 35 row- 35,000 rowdy people.
And they were expecting the national
guard to be called out and so forth.
- They blew it for us.
- Which kind of freaked
out the city fathers.
Across the street looking down on top
of the liquor store
where U2 was uh, was was
doing the taping and there was a,
a fashion factory there.
Little ladies in there sewing and this
I mean, it seamstresses
just going and I mean
seamstresses going
'what is going on here?'
- (U2) I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
that hold me inside
I want to reach out
and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
ha, ha, ha
I wanna feel
sunlight on my face
I see that dust cloud disappear
without a trace
I wanna take shelter
from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name,
oh, oh
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
The city's a flood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on the desert plain
yeah
Where the streets have no name
oh, oh
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building
then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh

Blown by the wind
Oh, when I go there
I go there with you
It's all I can do
- Let's keep going cause I'm gonna stop
We have to keep going.
Stop running the cameras.
- OK.
- You've got a responsibility
to the citizens of this city.
You're drawing people in here
from Orange County
and all over the goddamn place.
We're shutting the location down.
There is no vote.
It happens now.
- Okay, standby
Okay. Right now.
Okay. We're not missing the vocal.
Okay, we're go.
I think we're being shutdown.
Okay folks, everybody back from the edge.
All these people break up.
All we're looking for is one more.
- And I just want you to know
that the video shoot is over
so there's no need to go down there.
Oh, and don't even bother
yourself doing that.
We'll give you more
information in just a moment.
So hang with us.
- there was no way they could get a show
on down there that felt
like Raymond Brewer watching Godzilla come
into town for the third story window.
We're over.
We're watching the scene of Louis Thick!
- You do what you gotta
do for rock and roll.
You know
- It was fun.
