that;s all very well,,,,but i think most people are concerned about making a living, then worrying about how other people 'think about HIV' He's lucky he's made his millions , so he has time to ponder these philosophical questions............

and me too habib_hussain2@hotmail.com

Mofo- the album version is the one i prefer, when edge comes in with that screaming guitar, its like being on a runway and a 747 taking off right behind you,,, and the drums,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,oh man the drums,,love it , love it, love it................. Larry i want your job!

why o2, why not the new wembley stadium ? or better still my back garden ?

such skill in remembering such exact detail, I wonder if the band keeps a log of every time their videos are broadcasted on TV.....

I agree with your comment about the hurried release of the 1st Vertigo DVD. It was too early into the tour, and as we have seen, the 2nd and 3rd leg held some real gems. It would've been specatacular if they released a full european show as an outdoor dvd and a an indoor dvd from the 3rd leg...

If someone could make a screensaver out of this, that'll be awesome.

have you heard about the remastered joshua tree, scheduled for re-release this November ? it is to contain a paris show from 1987,,,, wicked woweeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On a completely unrelated note,,,well it is sort of related I have been taking drumming lessons once a week since June, and am enjoying it immensely. I have mastered Vertigo, my flems are particularly impressive IMO, and have cracked THE FLY, with its funky grooves, even earning a comparison to...

if you have the full show, that'll be great. Also, do you know if the full milan soundboard gig exists ?

dr zoeeus, ( or to anyone who has them ) If you have good vertigo shows in mp3 format, please forward tracks to me: habib_hussain2@hotmail.com

Iremember that day! We're all standing outside abbey road, waiting for Bono to arrive in a blacked out mercedes, then lo and behold he turns up on the back of a motorbike! Is the man mad ? To think the implications it would have had if he'd crashed,,,no australian tour,,potentially no more...

dr zoeeuss, Going back to your post, its not that I tire of hearing the warhorses or the staples, its just that they're not able to recreate the energy or the euphoria that fans have experienced and others seen on other tours. For instance Bullet the Blue sky now sounds like a lounge classic...

We wouldn't hear much complaint from the U2 faithful but what about those music cynics who will just say 'oh that's U2, they can't be bothered to release new material, so they'll just throw in alternate versions of songs they've released a year before in the hope the music public will like it'...

But its high energy is what attracts U2's desired demographic. They've said with each album they release ,their aim is to attract a younger audience each time, and with each release it is difficult to get young people's attention. They are competing with so many other genres Can you imagine a U2...

I think its important to realise that U2 are as much about the money as they are the music. Paul Mcguinness summed it up when he said ' it would be stupid to be great at the music, and bad at the business'. To that end, I can't see U2 throwing away all the commerical ground they've gained since...

Well can you really see the guys pulling off convincing performances of their staples,,the high energy songs,,,like streets, the rockers, the fly, uteotw etc. I just don't see them doing it when they're 50 plus. I'd rather they leave us with the memories of them performing them at their zenith...

apologies I'll make myself clearer.. What i meant to say was when the next campaign finishes, I would like them to finish as a band, preserving the legacy, as Larry says in the U2 by U2 book. Once they've disbandied and are pursuing other projects, they can bring out dvds of other shows,,e.g...

ah...come on you write as if U2 will stay vibrant and energetic indefinetly. There will come a point where they'll say they don't want to do it anymore. I'd like to think when the next campaign comes around, they'll knock it on the head and treat their fans to a plethora of dvds and unreleased...

ah man! bringing back memories of that september friday!! it started off at abbey road and ended at waterstones!!

I'm just another cock ...wired into the global economy' Peep Show C4

Mofo is a gem,,,the deeply personal lyrics, that 747 guitar, that totally awesome drumming and the outro is moving... It's a dark song, dealing with intimate issues,, ( death of his mother,,,the line ' mother ...am i still your child, you know waited for someone to tell me so,,,mother,,,,you...

dude, what are you worrying about ? it's a sign you need to adopt a beanie hat a la a certain irishman the edge, pick up a guitar , rock out ,,,and women will literally be'falling at your feet'.

for me, watching the fly live on vertigo bootlegs is actually more memorable than the real thing....

Remember those hypercolour t shirts that would change colour when you breathed on them ? Well, the thought occured to me, why not have a t-shirt that when breathed upon, revealed some of the text from the vertigo screens when the fly was played. So when you breathed on it, words like...
