Pretty sure he asked Anton for help on that. (Too bad he didn't ask me: I teach Dutch to English speakers)
All of that is not to difficult to say :wink:

That explains a lot. I don't have HTDAAB, so I had never heard those songs before. And I really like stripped down (accoustic) songs anyway. I believe Miracle Drug as well as Yahweh have more guitar in them on the album.

Thanks.
I'm sure people will be able to figure out how to see those pics, if they want to.
It also says not to use them without permission.
But you should be ok posting the links, I think.

Beautiful set of pics, by the way who ever took them...

HONEY, I'M HOME !!!
Went to Amsterdam last night, caught a few hours of sleep and I'm up with the larks again...
Amazing show. Lots of improvements since Brussels. The band was on fire and the audience was very Loud.
I guess Caroline's report on U2log.com says it all.


Welcome Home U2
He said it, we didn’t. At the end of a fierce (on the band’s part) and loud (on the audience’s part) concert, with plenty of appropriate snippets and multiple reference to the city of Amsterdam, Holland and the problems this country faces, Bono expressed his feelings on the night: ‘Welcome home, U2’.

For a first night show, this was a very good one. A bit of Brel (Port of Amsterdam), a bit of Opera (‘Guarda il mare com´e bello!
Spira tanto sentimento.’, from Torna a Surriento.), a bit of Radar Love (by Dutch band Golden Earring) and a hell of a lot of flaky Dutch phrases (‘Een mooie stad, een mooie dag.’, ‘Maak er wat van.’)

The Dutch U2 audience is an odd lot. Generally a little older than in other countries. Unashamedly uninterested in support acts. (The Killers, huge just about everywhere else in the world, deserved better than this lukewarm reception.) But they are absolutely feral in their support of the band during the live show. Deafeningly loud — though perhaps the infamous ArenA echo played a part in that.

It looked like the band enjoyed it and Bono, fumbling for words, quite lengthily thanked the country for still playing U2 on the radio, for still wanting to see them play and for still making the band feel relevant.

Then he thanked Oor magazine and journo Bert van der Kamp and made us sing a belated Happy Birthday for local hero Anton Corbijn.

One down. Two to go. (No shoot tonight.)
