  6. 2001-03-24 Elevation Miami, before the Sweetest Thing...

    Bono:
    'I'd like to introduce you to the band... there's FOUR in case you have problems counting.

    Larry Mullen Jr. come down here. The man who gave us our first job... and he hasn't let us forget it; the man who hasn't changed his haircut in 20 years... Larry Mullen Jr.!

    The man with the biggest instrument of U2, on the bass, the jazz man of U2, come on, you're no stranger to the catwalk... Adam Clayton

    On guitar, the scientist of the band, the man who's brain is so big he needs to wear a hat... The Edge."

    After The Sweetest Thing:
    "Many years ago, wrote that song for my beautiful wife having forgotten her birthday. And I gave her the song and Ali asked me to gave her the song and stop the publishing and copuwriting... which was OK becausethen it was only a B-Side"

    I also like from, I believe Anaheim 4-24-01, Bono introduces the band as the Spice Girls. "On the drums, Baby Spice! On the bass, Posh Spice! uh oh (addressing Edge) is it Sporty or is it Scary?"

    I have that too... I think it's just the point that what Bono says is pretty saltess (if I can say it like that). After that he says 'there is faith' because its raining at that moment?
