Wich month in 1990 was it recorded?
DevilsShoes said:Well I'm not 100% sure, but apparently when the band reconvened in Berlin in Sept 1990 to demo a few songs, they also managed to pull together Night and Day. Shortly afterwards they met up with Wim Wenders who was interested in shooting a video for it, which they then filmed in October.

I've long sinced used the argument of N&D to AB as an explanation for showing how diverse Bono's vocals are.
N&D was recorded in the JT/R&H style of singing - meaning very high notes, full notes, screaming, etc. AB was recorded to oppose all of that. For the first time ever, Bono allowed his voice to be distorted ("Zoo Station"). He purposely recorded in a scratchy manner ("One"). He "spoke" songs ("Until the End...") and he did a very obvious overdub of his own voice - i.e., not just backing vocals ("Even Better Than...").
While Bono still hits the occasional hight note, he no longer belted out his songs. When I first heard AB, this was actually one of my few disappointments. I had loved hearing Bono belt out songs. But I got that for AB, that had to change too.
So I do not think Bono's voice is all that different. Rather, I think it's the style. He purposely sang different on AB. And that's why we hear such a dramatic difference in N&D vs. AB, despite the relative short time between their releases.

On the last legs vertigo tour he started using his kermit 80's voice again on Still Havent Found on the lines "I beleive in kingdom come, that all the colors will bleed into one." I thought that he couldnt sing like that anymore but I now beleive he chose to change his voice not that he couldnt sing that way anymore. Look over the years somtimes that old 80's comes through.
