Vertigo twice, why?

Originally posted by Remy:Well, they often do it in the opera, playing a song twice, don't they? Bono also refers to it as the Italian word for encore would be encora which means to play the same song again. Could be in honor to his father or to opera in general.

Am trying to remember vertigo from U23D . Fairly certain the "ohohohohoho" part in that was the best I heard even though that show was edited to death . I remember watching it and saying "Jesus Christ thats incredible" . Either way it was the best way to finish a vertigo gig . Always rathered Blinding Lights to start although I inderstand the problems with opening a show in daylight ,

Sorry, but that is not correct. Ancora means "anchor" while the italian word for "encore" is "bis". And it does not mean to play same song again, but to play an extra performance in response to audience demad (you HAVE to ask for it) in opera.

BTW, no, in opera the same piece is not sung twice so often. Maybe in a gala or in very exceptional performances (such as a singer's last one).

It may be incorrect but it's the explanation Bono gave on more than one occasion. I suppose you need to go with what he thought he was saying and not the wrong translation he gave.

Oh, forum boys... you are something.

Yes, I said it was incorrect, never said it wasn't true. Still, I'm surprised (if) he did claimed that, being a musician and as close to opera as he is... And then that no one around him had told the dude what he was saying.

Who would challenge Bono on something so trivial. He's always blurting out little incorrect bits and bobs

HTDAAB orginally was an attempt of returning to their punk roots, that's why they play their hit song of this album twice
