Freestylin Friday: Requesting ZOO Edge in action

[bonocomet]

Ouch! I remember watching this for the first time.Like,yeah,Edgeswag and then oops!

Poor Edge.

I want to share the bigger gifs I made, but I really don't know if i can since PB has changed things. Does anyone know if Flickr is a good place to store and share photos from? And can you share the original large files? This new PB thing is tragic for sharing bigger files here!

 

[jeevey]

Hey wait a minute, PB made it smaller!

Well this sucks. Looks like PhotoBucket has changed things so that you can no longer link to the original sizes of files, but only resized files. This is BAD.

Thank you! Edgeswag= love

 

[jeevey]

Thought I'd add this one- Edge takes the verse at about 1:40 and finishes the song. U2 - Stand By Me - Live from Rotterdam - YouTube

 

[Babyface82]

what a sweet voice!!

 

[Philisedge]

I think that I might have heard the part where Edge sings about a Billion times!!! Oh,sweety Edgy,you have an AMAZING voice!!! You should be the singer!Bono doesn't know how to sing! You do!!!

 

[jeevey]

This one is a fan bootleg of The Fly from Milan. I love the visceral sound of the rhythm section and the roaring crowd, but most of all that the words are not superimposed all over the screen the way they are on all the official footage. Edge is a nice focal point on the stage but unfortunately, the screen gets very black during his solo. Looks like an amazing show! U2 - The Fly Live from Milan 1992 - YouTube

 

[Babyface82]

...and the roaring crowd

The crowd is like that in EVERY gig in Italy, in every tour!!

I just found this. Don't think it's been posted. Anyway, it has some Edge Zoo interview footage I've never seen before. The beginning starts as part of a news cast (maybe) from Sweden.

Look at that face. He's so bad. Anybody have a source on this?

That's TTTYAATW from Paris, May 7, 1992. It's a really good concert.

[jeevey]

Thanks for that, and or the video above. Bono really shines in that. My fav part is when he's talking (NOT as The Fly for once) and Edge is just staring off looking a little melancholy.

 

[bonocomet]

Reposting because it looks like PB listened to the complaints and changed their idiotic new resizing feature.

Posted this video on another thread but this definitely has Edge in action!
UTEOTW Rotterdam, '92

U2 - Until the End of the World - Live from Rotterdam - YouTube

 

[Babyface82]

Fantastic!!

 

[jeevey]

Rhi64, I noticed that I have already found and posted two links from Rotterdam in this thread myself without realizing it was the same show. Guess I really need to watch the whole thing!

 

[jeevey]

Bumping the thread to ask if anyone has seen a version of The Fly where you can actually see him play the solo? It's a great one but usually the camera is flashing text or following Bono around instead.

 

[Rhiannon64]

Love research! Here are a few I found.
This is from Gent, Belgium 5/9/92--indoors. It's filmed from a distance but it's all Edge on the solo.

Outdoors--Detroit, Michigan.

Oakland, Ca--camera is pretty much on Edge during the solo but transitions to Bono at time.

very very very hot

 

[jeevey]

Thanks!

Oakland at the end- wtf?

"NO SHIT, BONO. Why don't you show them your remote control ?!"

Wonder if they had been fighting or if he was just sick of hearing the same lines every night?

 

[jeevey]

very very very hot

Ghent. Yes.

 

[jeevey]

Resurrecting this thread for my own satisfaction: a beautiful extended closeup of his guitar work on bad, and then getting to see him totally in the zone = win.

U2 - Bad - Washington DC - 1992-08-16 - YouTube

That has become the most perfect version of this song for me.

 

[Rhiannon64]

Found a rare live version of this great song from Boston, 1992. Glad to see Edge having his moment in the spotlight.
