2006/11/07 - Brisbane, Vertigo Tour

Source - Kodak Z750 Digital Camera

Firstly I am sorry that I waited so long to upload this: I really have no reason for my tardiness.

Secondly this is not spectacular quality, merely a sentimental little memory jogger (for
instance the two announcements made before the concert started) for those of us
in Brisbane who had to wait 6 more, long months for U2 to wow us. And wow us they did!

It had been 8 years since U2 had been to Australia. I was too young to see Popmart in 1998.
Elevation came and went. Then finally, Vertigo tour! Then it was postponed and we all feared the worst: cancellation. But....

I waited at the front of the line in 11 hours of searing heat to get fron row between
Bono and the Edge. Prime viewing position.

I had a reasonable quality digital camera with me, and althought most of the movies I took
focused on the front of the stage, rendering the badn blurry, some turned out very nicely.

The songs on here are the best quality songs I have, most other songs are just either snippets or
ridiculously blurred.

1. Crowd Announcements
2. Angel of Harlem
3. Kite
4. The Fly
5. Zoo Station
6. Beautiful Day (last section - this is one of the longest extended endings for this song)
7. Bullet the Blue Sky Solo - Where Edge really shows why he is the greatest guitarist in the world
8. Walk On Solo - another prime example of Edge's mastery of the fretboard, though simple, it is spine tinglingly good.

~ I take this moment to apologise for Zoo Station. The idiot you hear at the start saying "mamma" along with the cosmonaut is yours truly. I lost control. It was so great. I also get handed a business card towards the end of the song ~

Please enjoy, I can't tell you how great that concert was. But this will hopefully show off a little bit of it... even if it is in low quality!

~I'm Wide Awake...WIDE AWAKE! I'm Not Sleeping...Oh No, No No~
~Stood on the edge, tied to the noose, but you came along and you cut me loose~
