ABOUT SkidVid Gold VIDEOS. Over the coming months I will occasionally be releasing a series of videos tagged SkidVid Gold. These are all songs/videos that have been selected by myself, and have been a success commercially, or simply because they are some of my all-time favourites. I hope you like them too. [skirgsk]

'Where The Streets Have No Name' is a song by Irish rock band U2, from their 1987 album, 'The Joshua Tree'. It was released August 1987 as the third single from The Joshua Tree. Bono was inspired to write the lyrics by the notion that it's possible to identify a person's religion by the street on which they lived, and also their income depending upon the part of the street. Amidst difficulties recording the song, producer Brian Eno attempted to erase it. It peaked at No.13 in the United States, No.14 in Canada, and No.4 in the United Kingdom. The song became a staple of live shows, being played 645 times at 642 shows since its inaugural performance on April 2nd 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. Its critical reception was mostly warm, praised by music critics such as Rolling Stone. In Rolling Stone issue 1054, the song was ranked 28th in the issue's list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time." This song is played during the home introduction of the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL and the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL.
This video was directed by Meiert Avis. The song was performed to playback on the rooftop of the Republic Liquor Store at East 7th Street and South Main Street in Los Angeles on March 27th 1987. The scenes including the police shutting the video down due to traffic concerns are real, although the video was edited and heavily overdubbed to make it appear the band arrogantly defied the police and kept on filming the video. In reality they stopped performing upon being ordered to do so. In 1988, the music video won a Grammy Award for "Best Performance Music Video".
