    All that you mentioned are great versions of "BAD". I remember when I heard them soundchecking it in Glendale, AZ and then playing it that night... First time on the Vertigo tour, if memory serves... Needless to say... when I heard them rehearsing it - I had CHILLS.

    Rhonda gve me a copy of a UF era show.... with what is, I think, the LONGEST version of BAD ever. Sounds cool as feck too. I will have to look at that disc and find which show that was...

    Sounds like one of the East Rutherford shows, there's one which comes in at a good 20 minutes and (unsurprisingly) holds the record for the longest ever performance. I need to get hold of a PopMart version soonish though
  2. Didn't they tune Bad down a full step during Popmart? I also love that Rutherford version, the longest one. Have it on my ipod, love it.

    Speaking of East Rutherford... listen to the beginning of "Even Better Than The Real Thing"... opening night of ZOOTV OUTSIDE BROADCAST...

    No idea, hence I wanna get hold of one lol! Would be understandable considering Bono's voice...

    Would that be the show WITH Lou Reed turning up for Satellite of Love or not? I'm guessing it is...what am I listening for?

    Listen for what Bono says during the "intro".
  6. Hey, what's up with the new Squire basses? They have a new "Classic" line that looks pretty cool.



    For my next (standard) Jazz bass I'm torn between going with the sunburst finish or a white one and swapping out the pickguard with a tortoiseshell one like Adam's.

    *listening*

    LMFAO! That surely can't be for you can it?! Is it actually? Fuck...that's uber if it is lol!

    I love the version of WGRYWH with Bono playing acoustic, I'm guessing they did that at other shows too but that's not the point, this version is uber

    I was at the Hershey rehearsal a few days before and I did have a long talk with Bono about "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and I did see him again before that NJ show.

    Can I say 'definitely' that I was the one he was referring to? No. But there is a an assured coincidence.

    Damn, sure is a good coincidence lol...I'm gonna assume it was for you

    Anyway, I said that Bono played acoustic for WGRYWH at said show, but having just watched a video of a Lakelands performance, I'm thinking it was his black Gibson hollow-body thingy that he used for the tour...

    Might have been the black ES-175.



    But keep in mind, they released "...Horses" as a single around the time of the Outside Broadcast and then proceeded to NOT play it... and the few times they did it acoustically... and played it similar to the "Temple Bar" single versions.

    More of the ES-175:

    They look amazing indeed! I really would like to try one of these Jazzes.
  12. Nothing will ever beat Adam's fender Jazz, the sunburst one with the tortoise pickguard. Is it the same one he's had since JT?
