chrissybaby said:imo, Bono's voice hit it's peak on that tour. I listened to some shows that have just surfaced from Melbourne on u2torrents last night and there's a Streets intro with Heartland over the top! Also, the crowd just seems mental!
Hawkmoon=best opening song ever.
Why can't they do stuff like that now. Each night was different.
He was also destroying his voice in the process. They had to postpone shows twice as a result and this was obviously a short tour. Supposedly when the physician listened to the tapes of Bono singing he said he was hitting notes 4 or 5 times in a single song that people like Pavarotti would hit one time per concert. He was told if he continued he would lose his voice permenantly. Subesequently this is when he changed his vocal style somewhat and they way he sings the songs live.
Like I said before, I love this tour. Some of the best bootlegs out there as far as performance and setlist to me. I would have LOVED to have seen it. But as a band all was not well. Edge's marriage was on the rocks, Bono had the vocal trouble, Adam was coming off a marajauna possession charge and Larry was not happy with the direction the band was headed. Seems like all that personal strife fueled some intense shows though.
