  1. Originally posted by Hans23"Years later in a Rolling Stone interview, Bono discussed this performance and its significance to the band. Clayton’s absence the previous night had caused a real situation amongst the band members and they were all wondering what long term impact the event would have. Bono said he wasn’t sure that they would ever play live again – he realized during the show that it could be the band's last live performance. As a result, the band's performance that night is particularly emotional, especially during "With or Without You," "Love Is Blindness" and "Can't Help Falling in Love.""

    preferences change one's thoughts about a show in a big way.

    I've always liked indoor shows, and the feeling they bring. reminds me of the Who's 1971 tour in a lot of ways. the only boot you can hear this tho is 1971-11-29.

    you're right with the Slane thing.... however Elevation was a two part tour, just as PopMart and Zoo TV are divided as well. Elevation has the 1st and 2nd Leg shows where it was getting back their status and best band in the world. The 3rd leg was so intimate and carried so much meaning to the band and audience the shows because almost a dream state

    Indeed. Thing is, I like both tours, so it's the best of both worlds

    What I mean though, is that shows like Buenos Aires etc. were representative of what was good about the Vertigo tour whereas Slane was what was good about U2, if you get me - Slane was U2 through and through, whereas Buenos Aires was a depiction of U2 in one of their many guises over the years, it wasn't so much about the legs or what have you (although having manic South Americans like Johnny in the crowd didn't harm matters )...

    right....

    shows like the Boston shows from the 1st leg and MSG shows from the 3rd leg would be my reps.

    I think the diffeance between the vertigo legs were large, Especially the Amercian legs and the Rest of the world legs, They were miles apart, diffeant venues, sizes and crowds. Vertigo seemd more suited for the large scale than arenas

    That's a fair point, although if you don't like the Boston 2005-05-28 show, you have no soul Even though it's indoors, it's a terrific 1st leg show, the best perhaps? Greatest encore ever, in my opinion

    When's your birthday?
