Originally posted by Peterrrrr:Great version of EBTTRT! But why did they have Bonos voice playback sometimes in the performence? Anybody else who notice that?

Larry's cymbals, Edge's guitar, Bono's voice all are backed - Larry even rather plays the Vertigo Discothèque version. Probably to make the sound "fuller"...

What I find interesting is, that the concept is exactly the same, they used to build up the show when Breathe was the opener... Let's see if it will suffer from the same stuff once the excitement settles...

As for Stipe in that picture, that's from Santiago... don't think it's him. But he was with Bono in NYC the day before the show - maybe Bono shanghaied him and brought him to Chile the B.A. Baracus way...

Now that I've had some sleep, here's my opinion on EBTTRT-

I think its a fantastic arrangement, I think it just kicks ASS, in all honesty. I think if they were opening shows with it consistently, it could do better as the original arrangement, but this is still better than everything else they've tried. This would also fit virtually anywhere else in the setlist which I like about it.

Hope they keep it around...also hope that even if they don't open with it we see it in the setlist.

Even Better Than The Real Thing? I think I've got a little bit of interest back for this tour.

Great, great opener. Good to see Even Better Than The Real Thing again. They're showing some balls again, let's keep this for Glastonbury..

It's an awesome opener but, two things I wouldn't mind seeing:

- Play the Perfecto Mix when they're walking on (pretty sure something mentioned that)
- Get Bono to walk around the during it, like he done with Stingray.

That's what they need.

Just to let you know: I have just received the raw audio recording of yesterday's concert from Macphisto, and I'm gonna start to work on it. It will be uploaded and ready to be downloaded in around one hour
