U2 just played Vertigo live on CD:UK - better performance imho than totp!!

I imagine they probably played a few more songs like they did on totp last week, which means, there may be some more clips floating around!!

Woah, woah, I didn't even know this was being broadcast! I presume this is what was filmed a few days ago?

If it's what was filmed a few days ago, apparently it was impossible to get any sort of recording technology into the venue.

I was surfing and i came across them as they were introduced (talk about timing!) - think it maybe repeated on ITV2 or maybe later tonight in the early hours?

 

[maxpouliot]

anybody recorded this?

 

[Axver]

Was it a genuine live performance, or played to a backing track? (If I remember the reports of the earlier gig correctly, I fear it was the latter ...)

If it was a live performance, I wish some amazingly kind individual would hurry up and put this on www.easytree.org! If it was to a backing track, I can wait. I'll only watch it to see what condition Bono's voice is in.

It was a fantastic performance... i missed the middle bit (somebody at the door), but it the performance / filming / singing seemed far better than TOTP!

 

[KevLW]

It was top quality - infinitely better than TOTP. We knew only the vocals would be live so we were under no illusions. There was a lot of energy from the band and audience. Fantastic.

I hope somebody have record this performance....

Great, thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to know. I'm off to bed, I'm not that interested in seeing this that I'll stay up until it comes online. Even if it's the policy of the shows, I really hate this idea of performing to playbacks ...

I liked this performance much more than TOTP's. It gives you more of an idea of how it's going to be live with the audience interaction.

Thanks for the video (from the other thread). There's also a torrent of it at easytree.org.

Thanks E. OK, I watched the video. Bono did his incredible "rock star" routine as always (the headbut to the camera was alittle hilarious........). But what happened to other songs, like ABOY, SYCMOYO, and "Miracle Drug",................ was it on the show too??

I will be able to send a 37Mb MPG1 file to Yousendit from a high speed connection soon...say an hour or so

The show was recorded last Saturday however only the Vertigo clip was shown today. Think they recorded 3/4 songs in total? Will probably be shown sometime in future shows

Now that's more like it. Thanks again, E.

 

[nuke126]

the link is down, can someone please upload it again and post the link. thanks!

 

[enajh2]

C'mon people?! Where are the other Yousendit links? And keep them coming

It's a big file so the links are going to expire quicker than before

 

[nuke126]

is the video of "Vertigo" only?

 

[RademR]

awesome video, kills the TOTP one, and I mean kills it. Bono is over his cold, thats for sure!!!! Great voice, and I think the instruments were live too. Some parts I thought "they cant be", but sometimes, especially with Adam's bass, seems like the real live thing. Great energy, WOWW!!!!

 

[mikal]

holy fucking sweet!

their energy was simply amazing.

 

[ascender_RS]

Great performance with much more energy than the TOTP one. I've only watched it the once and I thought I heard a few things from Adam that suggested he was playing live. I'm sure he lost the timing or hit a wrong note at one moment and he was playing a bass I've never seen him play before which might suggest its the one he used for the song. It also sounded like a live bass part. Guitar sounded note-perfect off the single but drums, bass and obviously vocals seemed to be live.

I could be wrong as it was the first watch of it.

I agree, bass and drums seemed real live, and Edge's guitar was right on, but isnt it always??
