Yes I know, but would be nice to hear if there is any versions from JT/LT/ZooTV. I have listen to alot of versions from those three tours, but havent found any high C's on the Wide Awakes. I havent listen to many shows from Uf tour, so it would be great to hear some High C from that tour.

The East Rutherfotd is a High C#?

Correct me if Im wrong but the Bono has hit a:

HIGH C# in Bad and AIWIY(Mexico Popmart dvd ,"NEVER tear us apart")

HIGH C: in Bad,WGRYWH and Happy birthday
 
I don't know about you guys, but after all this discussion I could really go for some Hi-C and some turkey.
 
He does seem to hit what sounds like a high c# during bad in the Elevation Tour on one show. I can't remember the show for the life of me - been struggling to find it since. When I find it I will let you know. Basically, the first 3 wide awakes are very weak, but the last 3 are explosive. He absolutely explodes and then sails effortlessly on the wide awakes - I haven't heard that sort of power since the Lovetown bootlegs.

Keep posting them :)


Have you figure out the Wave note on the studio version of WOS, is it an High A? Bono sings the note different on the Unin chapel version of the song, but is it still an High A?

The Union chapel performence of Desire is a nice one, the raw sound in LET in "Let you go" is very strong, how high?
 
yeh sorry i dont have time at the moment petterr to check the others at the moment but "let you go" is a high B

NO MORE is a high B for sunday bloody sunday in east rutherford

SAY ITS TRUE is a high B

IN THE NAME is a high B

angel of harlem is a high C on the union chapel performance

STAYYYYY is a high B on union chapel

this is still at the top of my head ill listen to some songs tomorrow and tell you and i will get around to doing wave of sorrow and the wild horses

thanks

Hi
A guy tell me in u2recording that Bono sang some E's with full voice on the Unforgettable Fire tour, but he didn't remember in what shows. I still haven't searched for them.

Cheers

This is also still intressting, its from the "U2 playing in higher keys" Thread. It can't it be an E, but still it must be high :)

Right now Im working on the update of my site, so later today or tommorrow there will be a new clip, so if you have any just post the tips in this thread :)
 
Pretty sure he hits it in Melbourne II, 2006. For proper ref it's 19 Nov 2006; quality's not great but damn it was good live.

Sorry, I have worked alot, but very soon :)




Ok, the studio version is an A :)

what studio version is an A? because the studio version of Stay is definitley a B flat and the studio version of desire is a B flat

in union chapel they played both songs half a key higher to which made bothe the notes B's
 
I don't know diddle-e-squat about notes and high C's but you need to listen to his "wide awake" at the end of Bad's climax at the 01 April 1985 show in New York, NY during the UF tour. Wow...whatever note he hits there, talk about powerful. You can clearly hear that he's pushing himself to the limit, and it sends chills down my spine every time I hear it.......

Yeah..sure! One of the best "wide awake" ...
Actually all his wide awakes send chills down my spine.. as an addicted to Bad must feel :wink:
 
I think that was the version I was refering to Peter, you found it! :applaud:
 
Hi Peterrr
Are you familiar with the Lyon 92 version of Bad, quality's not the best but Bono hits some pretty powerful Wide Awake's in this rendition, it's one of my favourites from ZOO TV, the New York 92 performance is great too, the first of the final Wide Awake's sounds pretty high to my ears, it's from the same night as your video of Love Comes To Town.

Just listening to your recent Updates clip and there's some pretty awesome stuff on there, the Vancouver versions of EBTTRT and WOWY are brilliant, Bono's voice sounds in top condition, I've got to get a hold of the whole show.
