ONE love, blood, life
Please post all reviews of the November 2nd show here.
you should of taken a look at edgenephilim said:I thought this show was better than the first nights, but I did have a question: Did anyone else notice that Bono put the mic to his side during Miracle Drug, but kept "singing" at full volume?
I know portions of the show are definitely boosted, (Pavarotti’s part in Ms. Sarajevo - come on) but this looked a lot like straight out synching. One of the people I was with noticed this too. We were in the ellipse, so we had a good view and slip up was pretty blatant.
Then, after MD he was very chatty, almost like he realized he'd made a mistake and wanted to remind everyone that it was (at least mostly) live.

Maybe one of the best I've seen, and definitely the best of the 4 LA Vertigo shows (as much as I liked Night 1, this one blew it away, and seemed far more emotional and moving). What was best about this set is there were no"slow" moments--even the down tempo songs soared. I felt that The Ocean and The First Time on night 1 seemed a bit boring to the crowd (especially The Ocean) When they played Bad (the song I really feel is the quintessential U2 live song), I almost fell over--and it was an unbelievably powerful performance. The crowd was also much more into it--Bono even had a few "wow" moments, thanking the crowd for the response on a few occasions. WGRYWH was amazing--much better than I thought it would be--IMO a pretty much flawless night! I was in the ellipse both nights, and am so grateful that I got to experience the band from that vantage point.
I would love to know how others who have seen multiple Vertigo shows ranked this LA #2 show. I have been somewhat critical of Vertigo setlists, and the first 2 LA shows on the first leg, but last night was simply stellar.

Beneath the noise
Below the din
I hear a voice
It's whispering
In science and in medicine
"I was a stranger
You took me in"

Somebody pinch me - did this past week really happen?
oktobergirl said:you asked for someone who had seen multiple Vertigo shows. I'm embarrased to say how many i have seen.
I will say that 11/2 at Staples was I think possibly the best U2 show I've seen. If it wasn't the best, it was a tie for the 10/7 10/o8 shows in NY.
I just can't believe it's over for us in LA. Wah!
