The award gets another audience. CR's Video Vaults posted seven archive uploads, with U2's Best Irish Album acceptance drawing the largest new audience, about 46,000 views.

"U2 win Best Irish Album for 'The Unforgettable Fire', 1986" returns to the viewer-voted Anything Goes Milk Music Awards. Bob Geldof presents the honor; Bono reflects on being considered established at 25, then thanks the people working behind the band. Paul McGuinness comes onstage, where The Edge hands him the award. Released in 1984, The Unforgettable Fire marked U2's first album collaboration with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, opening up a more atmospheric sound before The Joshua Tree.

The replies bring that era down to everyday scale. One viewer remembers being known for their U2 obsession in high school; another makes the album a fall cooking soundtrack. A concertgoer recalls getting tickets through the mail, box offices and record stores.

Elsewhere, this Irish archive channel made room for a very physical kind of publishing. Its Evening Press excerpt follows metal lines of type through proofreading and page assembly, right down to the worker transporting the heavy frame. Silent Dublin sunshine footage offers an October outing from 1971, while the Meath Gaeltacht report shows Irish learning built around conversation, games and informal classes.

Subscribers held steady, while the channel added roughly 551,000 views. That was a smaller viewing week than nearby clips channels Mr Listify and Josiah Fi, but larger than The A.V. Club's. U2 remains the busiest individual upload for daily views; a newly posted Viking ship's return to Dublin and the Gaeltacht report are also carrying momentum.

What viewers say

  • U2: my favorite band since 1983. I knew so much about them and was so crazy about them it’s what I was known for in high school.

  • Love that album so much, especially in the fall. I always play it while cooking dinner.
  • Saw them at Wembley arena (not a huge venue) on the Unforgettable Fire tour, supported by The Waterboys. About 3 rows from the front, thanks to being member of the fan club...life seemed so simple back then, getting tickets through the post, directly from the box office or even record stores in some cases.

  • The beginning of a truly seismic shift of the band only 10 years into their career. How much they changed in this year alone, less than one year after Live Aid, as they were dreaming up The Joshua Tree. There is a silent confidence here. Wild document.

  • From America: even the fire 🔥 of U2 can never be extinguished. I still love this band after forty-six years and their effect on me is indelible...
