Remember on the Elevation tour when Bono would sing it night after night, in the Boston DVD you can hear him sing the "Whooo whooo...." and he tries hard to do it and then he sings, "A star, it looked like a cigar, strung out like a guitar..." and he sounds short of breath or not able to sing that line...
However in the Slane Castle DVD, it sounds strong, cocky and crisp.
Now, Vertigo ties into this because Bono is trying to match the CD vocals of "Except you, give me something, I can feel... fe-e-l!" Bono has been on and off with the 'feel' and 'How to need you, need you!" parts of Vertigo. One part is the "How..." when on the CD it soars, but in recent performances, Bono keeps it on a minimum... Like after the "Feel..." it sorta strains his voice from saying "Feel" again, also with the "Need you..."
So I've thought and compared, that Vertigo will be a song that will sound good some nights (vocally) and fair (but not the greatest) some other nights.
