Adam doesn't sing, so why.....

[mandrake]

.......why does Adam have a microphone in front of him all through the 80s and even on ZooTV? I'm sure it's been discussed before. Is it just there in case he suddenly felt like it?

Listening to some live versions of Fire it sounds like everyone in the band is singing the "Falling, Falling" part.

However I recently watched a video on YouTube where only Bono and Edge sang that - but it didn't sound as full (i.e. as many voices) as some other versions I've heard.

he sang on
out of control, two hearts, i will follow, a celebration, fire

Did he also do the refrain of Sunday Bloody Sunday on the War Tour? I know Bono, Edge, and Larry did (watch 1983-05-30, Devore for good shots of Larry singing it), but I can't recall if Adam joined in as well.

He sang quite a bit on the War Tour. The Out of Control cut from the Red Rocks video definitely has him singing on it.

Cool, one can learn something new everyday. I thought it was just endless deep that Adam sang (and your blue room)

In the studio, he also sung on Boomerang II.

I've mentioned this before but on the JT Tour he actually introduced a couple of songs - it was in Hartford but just don't ask me what night it was.

He introduced TTYAATW in begin of zoo

That was usually Larry. Did Adam do it once?

First arena leg it was usually Adam that did the intro.

 

[Carmelu2fan]

I wish I knew what song he was singing there. Does anyone know?

Goes to show how much attention I pay to ZooTV bootlegs.

On U2faqs.com it says Adam had a mic in front of him but it was rarely plugged in.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with that. There are boots where you can definitely hear extra voices in the mix. Plus, some parts such as "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" and "two hearts beat as one" have more voices in the mix than just Bono and Edge could provide, but individual voices are a bit hard to distinguish.

 

[mandrake]

Larry does vocals sometimes I know, so could also account for extra voices.

Yeah, he was definitely doing Sunday Bloody Sunday during that era, and I think Surrender.

I'd like to know if all four did THBAO. I know Bono, Edge, and Adam all sung during that, but I don't recall if I ever noticed Larry as well.

I've seen a video of all 4 singing the "can't stop the dance" parts to "2 hearts beat as 1."

Adam, Bono and Edge also sang/shouted the "shake shake!" part to "A Celebration."
