when did the red fly suit happen? i thought it was for a rehearsal only, but recent pics i've seen lead me to believe it was for an actual concert. was it one night only?
 
It was only in rehearsals. I think it was the Rotterdam 93 rehearsal but it could have been Hershey. I dont recall off hand. He never wore it though for any shows.
 
but i've seen a pic of him in action reaching out for Morleigh the bellydancer during mysterious ways. would they do this during a rehearsal?
 
because it was rehersal for the OUTSIDE BROADCAST... that's difeerent than rehearsing for anopther indoor show...

It was Hershey
 
Nope, it was Rotterdam. IIRC, the band did a full dress rehearsal on 7 May 1993, in which Bono wore the red fly suit. You have to keep in mind that the band hadn't performed in concert for 6 months and that they had changed the design of the show a bit (the burning crosses -> swastika sequence in Bullet..., less Trabants, etc.), so they probably wanted to be sure they still had 'it'.

C ya!
