author performance audience sound overall

This review is written by MWSAH and written on 2008-08-18 02:15 pm. Performance: In the mood, although some performances are just plain Vertigo-stuff. The highlight for me is Bad, with an amazing full snippet of The First Time. The performance of Beautiful Day is also very good, with a great end. Audience: American audience, I prefer European or South American audiences though. Sound: 4-stars, clear but slightly distorted sometimes. Overall: One of the better Vertigo-gigs.

This review is written by drewhiggins and written on 2008-09-05 11:23 am. Performance: Starting from late 2005 onwards, this show from Chicago, or as Bono put it earlier in the year "This is the Vertigo Tour, forever", the performances in North America through to South America, Australia / New Zealand and Tokyo were nothing short of fantastic. If this show was filmed, I'd claim Hamish Hamilton as a legend. This particular show, for some unknown reason, really sticks out in my mind and one of the many reasons I've kept it. Songs like "The Ocean", "Elevation", "Beautiful Day", "Yahweh", "One"...which I could have cared less for, really were truly amazing here. The band was on fire in the Centre and really showed that when four brilliant musicians come together, you can make something work. You get some great U2 tunes here such as The Electric Co (no Cry snippet?), Miss Sarajevo, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, Bad, The First Time, Fast Cars, All Because of You...what more could you want besides Acrobat and more Pop. I must point out two key tunes...Electric Co. and Bad. Electric Co. here was the best performance of it since the last Joshua Tree gig (almost 20 years before) and Bad was the best Vertigo version, bar none. Audience: The audience were loving this from the "Wake Up" to the last beat from Larry's drums on "40". Of extra note was Bono introducing "a song, we haven't played for a while, and I don't know why"...and the crowd goes off when they hear "Dangerous..." - from Wild Horses. I don't think I heard that reaction since they played One Tree Hill to Tokyo on the last shows, and Pavarotti's vocals from Miss Sarajevo. They go nuts to hear the guitar on One and generally made this show a real pleasure. Even when the opening notes by Adam start up for City of Blinding Lights, they go off yet again. You'd love to take this crowd out for dinner - imagine when they see the schnitzel. Sound: For an audience recording, it's bloody brilliant. No skips, no stutters and the taper is in a great position because you hear the bass clearly, the guitar like it was meant to be and the drums are all there. Overall: The highlight is the best version of Vertigo - any show - to date, beating the socks off any other American, Pacific or European shows. I'd say the lowlights (and not just for this show, but all of the two years in Vertigo) is the lack of Pop and terrible attitude towards playing more Zooropa songs. Sure, we get a Please snippet here, two performances of Discotheque and If You Wear That Velvet Dress back in Europe, but bring it out and show us what you can do. Other than that, download and enjoy. I did.
