we drowned Bono out during Pride's oh oh ohs in 06
ZooTv performances of bullet were amazing. I'm really glad they dropped it this tour because they'll never recreate this. Every performance since ZooTv just totally underwhelmed me.
Bullet was probably the lowlight of the Vertigo setlists. made even worse by tacking on two snippets, one average and the other horrendously boring, which pushed it beyond seven minutes.
Bullet in NJ in Oct 2001 was positively spine chilling.
the performance on the Slane DVD is fucking awesome.If you think Bullet lost steam after ZooTV (admittedly the finest version of the song ever), check out the Popmart Leeds version. Now that's heavy. And while we're at it, some Elevation Tour versions matched the intensity of the ZooTV ones easily (Boston 2001-06-09 or Slane 2001-08-25), largely due to the infamous Mark Chapman rant.
It was somewhere in the middle of the Vertigo Tour when the song lost its edginess, if you'll pardon the pun. Some early 1st leg versions featured some solid guitar improvs.
The little When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet was actually my favorite thing about the Vertigo version of Bullet. I thought it worked well.
Odd topic at they are not playing "Bullet..."on this tour.
Part might be they played it most nights of every tour since it came out. Part might be that they agree with fans that it's been a bit "played out" for now.
Seems they try to find a new approach each tour. "Vertigo" tour wasn't my favorite version. I thought that Popmart was an interesting arrangement. Joshua Tree and ZOO TV were the two better versions -- for me.
Vertigo and COBL are different than they were on the previous tour.
The little When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet was actually my favorite thing about the Vertigo version of Bullet. I thought it worked well.
Elevation Boston was special yes. The Mark Chapman-themed climax was terrifyingly powerful.
