I thought the Vertigo days were okay minus the speeches. Definitely his talkiest tour.
Also I really didn't mind him during PopMart either. He never really did that much because they didn't really have a stage to run around like they have on every other tour post-92. The whole boxer look in the intro was kickass.
Yeah the boxer intro is awesome but I dont really liked him during that period, dont know why. Vertigo days were not good because of his speeches and his constant reference to Africa.
His voice was pretty damn awesome a few times on Vertigo though. He didn't take care of it that well though, but the power he had in the high notes in Miss Sarajevo and SYCMIOYO...
Yeah, songs were totally unfinished, the tour was grossly underrehearsed...think about it- if the songs turned out different, they might have been better live, which would have meant different setlists, maybe a fuller realization of what they could have done with a stage, etc...it just all could have been a lot cleaner with more time. I feel like they threw together a bunch of pieces of metal and called it a stage and weren't ever sure what to do with it.
