ONE love, blood, life
Please post your reviews of the April 21st show here.
the majority of people are saying his voice is the best in years, and thats what am going with, and i NEVER heard him hitting the woohoo's in elevation on the last tour, but this tour, they are soooo clear, bono's back and lets just enjoy himYahweh_OMG said:COOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!
At least some positive comments on Bono's voice and the show in general. I can't wait... still 2 month and 16 days..... OMG it's too long...
am talking about bono,martha said:They use backing tracks for BD all the time. Edge isn't singing all those "always" by himself you know.
sorry but was there any need for such sarcasam?coloradospaul said:I'm sorry, that article is a lie. I remember thinking at one point "who's singing" because Bono wasn't even holding the mike to his mouth but someone was singing....and it was LARRY. OMG, i'm kinda mad.
U2Acrobat8 said:The reporter, I feel, is confused. I think he is referring to the third verse of Miracle Drug, when Bono clearly doesn't sing...but it does sound like him...but it is in fact The Edge singing that verse.

I thought last night's show was better than Wednesday's; for a band who nearly always seem "ON", they were even more so than usual.
U2FloridaFan said:Here's a quote from the Denver Post which suggests that Bono's voice (at least in Denver1) was assisted.
"The "oh you look so beautiful tonight" refrain from "City of Blinding Lights" was so much more than just a mating call or even a platonic compliment. It was a grand assertion of beauty, and together with the lights, the on-point instrumentation and Bono's celebrated voice - sounding as bold as ever, though it was sometimes assisted via a recorded track - the message was heard well beyond the Pepsi Center walls."
Here's a link to the complete article.

I haven't read the article yet and I haven't been to any concert yet, but I have them on disc and the first time I heard City of blinding lights, I was also wondering who was singing in the background, because to me it sounds like female voices singing along with Edge. No-one with me on this??
but also edge is backing him up on that, which you can also see on the DVDSmo786 said:
It wouldnt surprise me if there was some sort of very faint backing track with the 'wooohs' on COBL just to back up bono if he croaks - I just dont think his voice is good enough to handle them constantly at such a high quality...
Now I have just watched back both DVDs (bootlegs), and on both of the SD shows on the first Woohs Bono is smiling, now theres no way you can do a woooh and smile at the same time! (check out the DVDs you can clearly see his face both times for the first Woohs anyway)
oceane said:But Bono does NOT use that, there is absolutely no doubt about it. He misses notes, sings the wrong words, is sometime not in tune with the band, and his voice is not always the strongest, but it's real singing, from start to finish. There is no question about it.
