00:00 [APPLAUSE]
00:02 I fell in love in Chicago.
00:13 Fell in love in a hotel room in Chicago,
00:27 listening to Miles Davis, Kind of Blue.
00:33 Didn't understand jazz.
00:40 Didn't understand Miles Davis or how his music could make you
00:46 feel until sitting in this hotel room,
00:52 looking out the window at this city, an Irish boy, 24 years
00:58 old.
00:59 [APPLAUSE]
01:02 And just looking around Chicago, I kind of understood
01:09 Miles Davis somehow, understood this music.
01:18 And then we fell in love with Chicago.
01:22 [APPLAUSE]
01:25 We started out in clubs.
01:34 I can't even remember the name of the club,
01:36 but I remember walking out on tables,
01:39 kissing people's girlfriends and drinking their wine.
01:42 [APPLAUSE]
01:45 I had a microphone in my hand.
01:49 There was 100 people there, but we felt Chicago
01:53 had fallen in love with us.
01:54 [APPLAUSE]
01:57 We don't really look back that much in our music.
02:06 We don't look at the past.
02:08 The best bits of the past we try to bring with us.
02:13 There are songs, songs like "Pride in the Name of Love,"
02:17 songs like "Sunday Bloody Sunday,"
02:19 songs like "Willow Street's a Woman."
02:22 They're the best bits of the past,
02:24 and we'll take them with us.
02:25 Because we're interested, and we're excited,
02:34 and we have faith in the future.
02:35 [APPLAUSE]
02:39 That's where we're headed.
02:40 [APPLAUSE]
02:43 So for a city of the future, this is our music.
02:50 This is the thing that we're strung out on.
02:56 This is our drug, miracle drug.
02:59 [APPLAUSE]
03:02 (audience laughing)
