I got one from a show but I don´t know if its from Leeds show and I got one from popmart photo sessions.

Me too

thanks for both pictures!

still, i remember seeing a black and white picture of Bono on stage in his muscular shirt giving the finger. it looked like it was from a newspaper cutting (maybe The Sun or something), and i also remember that i saw it an an old fanzine (maybe Collectormania?).

Now i can't seem to find the right magazine.

haha! I thought the title of this thread was going to be Bono flipping the bird at Bush!!

so far this is the closest i've come in my search:

it's a screen shot taken from this You Tube clip:

YouTube - U2 Even Better Than The Real Thing Popmart Leeds 1997

as you can see, Bono's arm is outstretched as he's flipping the bird, not below his leg as shown on the picture above from the Popmart tour.

I don't have it bigger, at least not that I have found going through my files so far. I definitely would have posted the biggest size for you if I had it!

And you could be right on the Vegas pics, I wasn't sure myself what they are from.

I'll definitely keep my eye out for a better size of that one, but it may be all I have unfortunately.

ok, thanks for the pic anyways, nice to know it's out there somewhere at least!

as for the other pictures you posted, i just checked, and it's not from Miami, but the song after, Bullet, from the same show (Las Vegas), at the 2:15 mark:

YouTube - Bullet The Blue Sky (live from Popmart Las Vegas)

Now I got what you need!!!

I got it from this blog: Luminous Times: 1997 August - Popmart, Leeds Magic and Mud

I was looking for it on google and I found this blog but it doesn´t have the photo as you can see. I suggest you read what she said about Leeds show, it´s very cool.

I asked her to send me the photo by email and she sent!!

Here you go:

thanks a lot for the picture, from another angle than the one Bonocomet had (the first picture is the picture i remember from the newspaper cutting. still it's great to have another picture too!
