There are many highlights from this tour for me. Three special ones are the powerful comebacks of:
The Electric Co.
One Tree Hill
Kite
The comeback of The Electric Co. was unexpected and the energy that they guys had when playing this one was pretty fucking awesome! Watching it live in front of me was pretty much one of the best moments of my life. One Tree Hill was a beautiful gift for long time fans and like what was happening on The Elevation Tour it seems that U2 are no longer afraid of reaching back to their catalogue and playing those older (and in this case slightly obscure) songs. This new and powerfully emotional version of Kite (still a new song in my mind) at the end of the tour after a time without touring was once again the proof that every time U2 is “coming back” they can blow us away in a very natural and original way. Beautiful. Gives me great hope for the next tours and albums.
Other fantastic highlights:
- Larry playing the drums at the ellipse then moving back to his “place” with Samurai Bono sharing the vocals with him during the chorus and later taking over it at the ellipse during Love And Peace Or Else. One of my favorites, most powerful, coolest and original moments in U2 touring history in my humble opinion.
- The energy and feeling of freshness that there was at the beginning of this tour when they were changing openers, coming up with different setlists, trying new arrangements and bringing back really old songs. It’s very hard to beat that feeling.
- Bono’s vocals. It wasn’t just Sometimes and Miss Sarajevo that got a special treat. All songs did, he was really belting it out in all songs. Screaming, wailing and naturally singing like he hasn’t ever before. He’s got into a different place as a singer and I admit that I did not expect this to happen! Congrats to the B-Man!
- The “fucking up with our usual attitude and image on stage” kind of feeling that I surely felt during this tour with Adam smiling and walking all over the ellipse, Larry speaking at the microphone, Edge shaking his fist in the air during Zoo Station and many, many more.
- The Fly. My favorite version of this song. Larry and Edge rule big fucking time!
- Vertigo. One of the most energetic and ass kicking live songs they got.
- An Cat Dubh / Into The Heart. Fucking great move. Added a different color to the show. They don’t have many songs like that.
- Gloria
- Elevation
- Discothèque
- Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Wow, didn’t expect this one to comeback electric and with a nice new little solo at the end. I was a bit disappointed that they started playing the acoustic version of it later but they were still playing this beautiful song anyway.
- Yahweh. As much as I love the all band version on the record this acoustic version was really beautiful and unique.
- The Ocean
- The Africa Speech between Pride and Streets. That’s right I love them! They were inspiring, honest and after all this is U2! They came from the heart and suited those songs really well creating once again “that special U2 moment” with those two songs.
- Playing The Saints Are Coming and Window In The Skies was a nice move cause it added freshness to the show after so many moments without touring and then coming back to the same tour.
- Miss Sarajevo. So cool and unexpected to have this song back and with Bono not only singing Pavarotti’s vocals but nailing it big time!
- The many snippets of U2 songs (like Twilight, Love Rescue Me, In A Little While, Please, Love Is Blindness….) and other great non-U2 songs (Here Comes The Sun, Many Rivers To Cross, Johnny Comes Marching Home, Enter Sandman, Ol’ Man River, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band….)
There are more but those are the ones that stand out in my mind right now!
agreed- that was fantastic!!!
