Comments: The Vertigo Tour resumes after a week off. Bono and Edge appear to suffer from technical problems, especially early in the set. Bono says a few words in Polish at the start of 'Miracle Drug' (Edge translates), likely in honor of the Polish Constitution Day events earlier today in Chicago. Bono namechecks Coldplay, who are at tonight's show. Stationary cameras are in place around the arena, and fans are interviewed on film in the GA line before the show -- all part of a DVD shoot that will continue in earnest during the next two shows.
Its good quality. Worst show I saw out of 11 on the Vertigo tour. Band was flat and were off that night. Too long of a break between Vancouver and Chicago and during soundcheck they only worked on new video for Zoo Station versus rehearsing songs (preparing for the DVD shoot). Coldplay were standing back at the sound desk that night also just for a useless piece of information.
