Best Vertigo show so far?

[theu2fly]

My vote goes for Minneapolis...

Why?

The Ocean
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
The First Time
Crumbs From Your Table
Miss Sarajevo

What makes Minneapolis even specialer is that they chose to debut a song there, without warning! Crumbs From Your Table is the rarity that you thought you'd never hear.

But honestly, how many times on the next tour are we gonna hear The Ocean, The First time, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses? Sure we didn't get Zoo Station / The Fly, but that's what the DVD is for. You'll never see Crumbs live like we did, only the great stories and audio of it. And what about The Ocean... that'll go back into the vault next time...

The closer could have been better, but Vertigo X2 is what made the European shows great, and sent the crowd nuts -- so we got to experience that!

Basically the main point I'm making is in addition to Miss Sarajevo, and the Ocean, the rest of the songs hadn't been played in full since 1992, and after 13 years, they were. How many people have been WAITING to hear The First Time, as not a snippet into Bad, or after?

I've read a lot of setlists so far, but Minneapolis sticks out really nice... it has so much variation to it, much more colorful.

The first time that :

-First Time was played in a stadium
-Desire was played on the V tour
-All I want is you closed a concert in the tour

What a show Watta night

 

[Zooropean103]

Obviously, the best show so far must be... [insert a show you've been to]

 

[Chrisedge]

Obviously, the best show so far must be... [insert a show you've been to]

No kidding. It question should be, "What was the best boot/show/etc that you DIDN'T attend?"

 

[J_NP]

Ok then I go with Brazil , Sao Paulo , Feb 20

 

[clifedge]

Maybe DC 2:

The Electric Co.
Out of Control
Walk On
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses
Bad

I wasn't there, but I wish I could have gone.

For me, 9/20 and 9/21 (Chicago) were amazing.

9/20:
Fantastic version of Electric Co
Walk On (Bono's lyric issue was great)
Discotheque!
The best version of The Fly I've ever heard
The First Time

9/21:
Great acoustical version of WGRYWH
The amazing performance that was Bad / The First Time
Awesome version of Fast Cars
Larry taking Bono's hat and walking off stage at the end

Amsterdam 3 --> tour debut of Miss Sarajevo and a full band version of Original of the Species

 

[J_NP]

Actually they always played OOTS as a full band , though before it was an acoustic perf , but still the 4, so the change it was that Edge went for the guitar , so I would say full electric band version

 

[mikal]

best show i went to: Chicago 9/21/05

best show i didn't go to: Amsterdam 3

 

[ZooMacPhisto800]

Montreal, Nov. 26th, 2005. Listen to the boot.

 

[jag0918]

Ive only been to the Phila shows this tour so I have got to say the 10/16-10/17 shows were off the hook!

 

[LemonMelon]

5/22 in Philly was the only show I went to, and it was wonderful. Good set too...

The Ocean
Gloria
WOWY
Ultraviolet snippet

But I agree that Minneapolis was probably the best stop of the tour, setlist-wise anyway.

 

[annie_vox]

Th best Vertigo show for any of us is the one we went to.

 

[U2FanPeter]

Has anyone here collected most/all the bootlegs of the tour so far?

can they comment?

[popbellydancer]

Vegas 2.... hands down! I know a lot of people who would agree.

 

[4U2Play]

Vegas 2.... hands down! I know a lot of people who would agree.

Correct answer.

As for Europe, I hear over and over from hardcore U2 fans who saw many many shows last year that Dublin 2 & 3 were the best shows they had seen.

 

[Eliv8]

DH - Everything was a surprise. Not a lot of peole would agree because they wernt there.

 

[lauramullen]

I agree with jag0918. Philly 10/17 was awesome. The band had the most energy out of any show I went to. The crowd was crazy and need I say more than Bruuuuce.

 

[Bono's Tart]

Dublin 2!!!!!!!!!!!

No contest!!

 

[coach]

Mexico City Both nights

I think what would have made it better, had 40 or Bad closed the show. In addition, I think Out Of Control after Elevation would have been great. Even New Year's Day would have been cool to see...

Argentina 2!!!!!!!!!!!!
Incredible!!!!

What a night! What a show! What a crowd!

 

[gvox]

Im too lazy to go digging through my bootlegs

Was the Wild Horses they played at Minneapolis full band?

If not, I'd have to go with Amsterdam. The Wild Horses on that show is to frickin die for. Edge!!!

 

[djerdap]

Wild Horses was played in Minneapolis full band, but with an acoustic guitar.
Amsterdam 3 electric version rules them all.

Montreal, Nov. 26th, 2005. Listen to the boot.

I would love to (as I was at that show), only I haven't been able to find a boot for it. I never saw it on U2torrents, any idea where I can find a copy?
