That's about 1 second worth of text.

 

[scottyT]

haha, true. i know a lot of the zoo tv ones, but there's a lot of different ones here in Vertigo go go land.

 

[oliveu2cm]

They changed it in NJ, at least I think they did. They had phrases with a letter missing from it, like "Take off your s irt" and also phrases with a blank rather than a word, like "Make more _____" kind of thing. I didn't retain any of them, though. That was about the time of the show I was getting pushed around and overheated. I'll see what I can remember this week.

 

[xellente]

my intital suspision is that they were the same as Zoo tv, anaheim2 also had letters missing but i thought that was from technical problems

 

[scottyT]

no the part before that said fill inthe blanks. they did that on purpose. i wish i could get vid. of that. it was unreal.

 

[scottyT]

hello hello?

 

[Zooropa man]

fag

 

[Chizip]

if you meant that as one of the words that flashes then i'd probably specify that before some people take it the wrong way

Yes! you are right. Im sorry. I meant to say that it flashes during the song. I've seen it during the zoo tv tour but Im not sure that it flashed during this tour. There are so many that I can't remember but that one comes to mind. Also war. Hope I didn't ofend anyone.

 

[scottyT]

hahahhahahahahahaha.

 

[Chizip]

i just watched a dvd from a show earlier in the tour, and man, they have really really improved the ending of the fly

 

[Zooropa man]

Ok, I've listened to "The Fly" 05-09-05 show and Im not quite sure about the extra drum loop that Larry aded to the song. Kinda throws it off. What do you guys think?

videos of The Fly

Here is a link to some 30-second video clips, there are several from The Fly, you can see a lot of the words and missing letters and how they were used. I shot it at NJ last Wednesday.

there used to be a computer program someone wrote that you could run that would flash all the words on your computer screen. I dont have it anymore, this was back in like 1996-97
