Vertigo 2006 // Tour In Recap

[djerdap]

do you read setlists from previous tours by any chance? maybe check some popmart setlists, even cities with more than 1 show had pretty much the same identical setlist, even elevation tour in manchester wasnt that much different, and we even had a bono tantrum where he stormed of the stage after ONE,

Do I detect a hint of criticism, KU?

Anyway, I love the Euroleg of the Vertigo tour. Yes, the setlists were mostly identical, but it featured some fantastic concerts (the Dublin and Amsterdam ones, as well as the London broadcast...). The best songs of the tour like The Electric Co., Zoo Station and The Fly were regulars. Running To Stand Still versions were fantastic. Original of the Species was played with guitars. Full band Who´s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, the very long sets...

It was much more to love than to hate, I believe. Much better than most of the leg 3 snoozefest with the acoustic encores.

Wished I could have highlights of about 40 shows, but i'll settle for the two I made it to. I'm sooooooooooo grateful for those few hours of absolute, complete, utter, amazing, unbelievable, pure ecstatic joy!!! They're my miracle drug. [/B][/QUOTE]

Perfectly stated!! I, too, was at the Mpls show and of the three I saw it was my favorite for all the reasons described. Personally speaking, I had made a sign regarding social justice issues and Bono grabbed it from me and held it up on stage- will never forget that moment!!
Overall just very grateful for an amazing tour- go ahead and take your time, boys, I need to save up for the next one!

 

[thankyou]

It said....
All IWant Is
Fair Trade
Debt Absolution
Social Justice
Peace
He was on Adam's Side of the ellipse, a little closer to the tip than the stage (we were on the outside rail.)
Honestly my cousin and I have tried to figure out what songs it happened in between and can't quite remember- the whole night was such a blur!! Did get a pic of him holding it from the side but unfortunately you really cannot see the sign.
My cousin, a tough man of 27, burst into tears when Bono first appeared for COBL- I think that was actually my favorite moment of the show.
By shear dumb luck and sort of ignoring law enforcement I also managed to get the sign signed by the B-Man before the show

The "sameness" of the European Vertigo leg (which honestly is nothing new for U2 in stadiums - the amount they mixed up legs 4/5 on the Vertigo tour is quite surprising) was a thousand times worse on leg 3 of the Elevation tour - not only were the songs almost the same every night, but it was big hit played generically after big hit played generically... not good.

Aye, 3rd leg Elevation was boring. I don't even listen to the bootlegs of that tour. A boring setlist intermixed with U2 sucking up so much to U2 it becomes painful to listen. And it was understandable after 9-11. But to have a crowd shout U.S.A. during Sunday bloody sunday and Bono not doing anything about it..... If the white flag waving 80's Bono heard that, he'd reach through to time and kick his older self so far up the ass his foot would knock out his teeth.

Didn't they have technical difficulties during that particular show?

And I live and breath old U2 setlists. But what made the static Zoo TV and Popmart setlists palpable was the humor. They way they took the piss out of society and themselves. Come on, calling presidents, popes and prime-ministers every night, driving a mirrorball lemon on stage and coming out of it like some Alien mothership? That's priceless.
But since Elevation Bono has really gotten back on the pulpit with a vengeance. The minutes long One speech? Come on, the other band members should have left and gone to Moe's for a pint. Or have Edge stand next to Bono with a stop watch. Bono's preaching is becoming like taking literature in school. Guaranteed to produce the opposite effect. After hearing the exact same One speech three times live and one countless boots I'm about ready to nuke Africa if I could. Less talk, more humor, Bono!
