That was a very surprisingly good performance. I only say "surprisingly" because I tend to like the more rocking performances. But hell, that was some great showmanship, great singing, and quite a lot of passion all rolled up into one.
Awesome
Bono should definitely sing much more in his lower register, that's an amazing voice there
Why?
While I like his lower register as well, he sings in that way because he can't hit the high notes anymore.
You wrong, these days Bono has no problem at all in hitting the high notes. He prooved that on the 360 tour. From the 90s to 2002 he had a lot of problems. But on Vertigo tour and further he has improved and imporved...

Just stop. The first four examples there are of Bono yelling.
He can't hit the falsetto that he had in his earlier days with any consistently. Not many singers his age can.
It's not an insult, its inevitability.
I agree his voice has regained a lot of the power that it had previously lost... but his days of hitting that high falsetto are long gone. Frankly if he still could hit that falsetto I'd think they were auto tuning.

Those first wasnt the ones I meant, funny that you wrote that, because in the 80s he used yelling alot because he couldnt hit notes live like he can today.

Bono's falsetto was always hit and miss in the 80's. He managed to control it in the early to mid 90's. Now it's worst than ever live. But the full voice high note Bono is the best now at least since Zoo TV.
I really never see much difference in his weight. He looks the same now as he did during the tour. In fact he looks a bit heavier now if anything. But it doesn't matter, he never really fluctuates all that much. And he always looks perfectly normal weight for himself.

You're right. Djerdap's avatar proves that.
I'm stunned to see that this thread turned into a discussion about Bono's weight and the state of his voice.
I also agree with BC's posts re his weight.
