The video featured U2 playing on a barge while a crowd of onlookers danced. "Gloria" was the first U2 music video that received heavy airplay on MTV. The "Gloria" video, written and directed by Meiert Avis, was filmed in October 1981 on a barge in Grand Canal Dock in Dublin near Windmill Lane. A live version from the Hammersmith Palais is also available on the October (Special Edition) CD. Live recordings of the song appear on Under a Blood Red Sky and the Live at Red Rocks: Under a Blood Red Sky DVD. It was played twice on The Joshua Tree Tour 2019, taking the place of " I Will Follow" both times. The song was played again on the Experience + Innocence Tour, where it often rotated with All Because of You and "Red Flag Day". It often rotated with other early U2 hits such as "The Electric Co.," and "Out of Control.". It was once again revived on U2's 2015 Innocence + Experience Tour where it was played second in the set list. It was played on every tour up to and including the Lovetown Tour, after which it was not played for fifteen years until the Vertigo Tour where it made several appearances. It was debuted on the October Tour prior to the release of the album, and was introduced as "Gloria and Gloria" by Bono. "Gloria" has been played in concert more than 370 times.
