Mini-review I posted on zootopia:
I will be uploading a couple of treats for the folks on here and interference upon my return stateside in a couple of days... Videos of complete performances of Wild Horses, The Fly and WOWY. I also have snippets of SYCMIOYO, Zoo Station, and Streets.
For the record, I had tears in my eyes for WOWY. The WOWY snippet of the Whitney Houston song was, um, odd, but worked. Apparently, U2 permitted a DJ here in the UK to remix U2's WOWY with Whitney Houston's How Will I Know. I forget the name of the remix song, but from I've been told, it's rather forgettable. U2's performance of WOWY really doesnt matter (which was just okay). Hearing 70,000 fans singing along to their favorite U2 song IS worth the price of admission, because it is at that time that 70,000 fans are thinking about what WOWY means to them. Very, very emotional... Anyways...
Walk On came on after Bono said, "let's try something different." He began singing Happy Birthday in honor of Aung Sang Su Kyi (sp?), and then went into three or four refranes of Walk On (What you've got, they can't steal it... Walk On, Stay safe tonight), and did not do the usual hallejuah's at the end of RTSS.
Zoo Station did NOT have the "It's Alright" refrain from The Edge. I loved that part of the song, but I'll live...
I'm gonna be coming down with a bad case of U2 withdrawal until October 7 at MSG. I just can't afford another trip to Europe!
Cheers!
