We do realize that each intro to "the fly" during the Elevation Tour was add-libbing and there are no 2 intros totally similar, right?

Ah, I see. This is a real cool interpretation. I've never heard of it before.dizzy said:
Heehee. Understand it better , I should say.
Well, we know that "The Fly" is about the carnal nature of man. This is just what I gather from Bono's little speech on TF in Elevation. When he says/sings "You walk out into the sportshall, lights go down...it's a whole different scene...light & motion,...IT'S SO HARD TO WALK AWAY...YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL..., I guess he's talking about how difficult it is to get carried away with the fame and worldly pleasures that stardom has to offer. But then that very lust for power can ultimately bring you down. sings the lines from TF right after that...."Love we shine like a burning star, falling from the sky tonight", which I guess, is in reference to Lucifer the fallen angel and what happened to him. Those lines are his are his answer to his rockstar predicament.

Yeah! I have this bootleg from 1983 I think! It's so cool! Bono forgetting his own lyrics.BostonAnne said:I just heard that on The Complete Boston 83 tapes. (Thanks dsmith2904!) I think the actual concert is May 6, 1983, but it can also be found dated May 29, 1983. He also asked if the crowd remembered the words because he didn't and told the crowd he was going to get them to sing! Man, I wish I were there! I fell in love with U2 a less than a month later when they played at the US festival in California on May 30, 1983 and I saw the concert on TV.
Also, on the same bootleg - during "An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart" he sings "We've been waiting, we've been waiting all day for you..." (or similar). Soo Cool!

I think it started at the Boston 2 concert (June 6, 2001). Bono missed the "In Summer I can taste the salt from the sea" verse during the song. If you watch the Elevation DVD, the missing verse is there (taped from 6/5) - but you can see Bono and Adam crack up where he really missed it on 6/6. At the end of the song, he played the missed verse and thanked everyone for hanging around I think..
