3/27/87 WHEN U2 PLAYED ON TOP OF A L.A. LIQUOR STORE

[what u hear is a soundbite from a local radio station attempting to depict u2 playing on top of a liquor store as a tense situation that caused a police standoff, & that is also what their famous video attempts to depict, but I've read that in fact u2 was very compliant & agreeable with the police & readily agreed to stop playing when asked or ordered by the police ]"...plaque, placed there by unknown fans, that reads"Have You Found What You're Looking For?" 8.)  Where The Streets Have No Name – Los Angeles Many consider the video for this U2 classic to be one of the greatest videos ever made. This may be because it appears to capture a very real, unrehearsed and unplanned rock 'n' roll moment. The video shows the streets of Los Angeles filled with droves of fans who had caught wind of U2's 3:30 p.m. video shoot on top of a neighborhood liquor store via local radio stations. Crowds began to fill the streets, and tensions grew when over 30,000 fans were expected to arrive. Police officers at the scene began working quickly to shut the event down before chaos broke out. The band, totally ignoring their orders and bypassing the law, proceeded to play for their fans anyway. At least, that is what we saw Spoiler alert! In reality, a still-impressive 1,000 fans managed to show up. U2 were able to play eight songs (four of which were "Where The Streets Have No Name") before the nice police officer featured in the video asked the band to pack it up. Contrary to what the video shows, they immediately did. However, with some fantastic creativity in editing, a tenser situation was created and the legend and video for "Where The Streets Have No Name" were created Location 103 E.
