I listen to the vertigo Japan shows all the time. When U2 came back for the 5th leg Bono sounded great but when they played in Austrailia Bono sounded strong but a little raspy that was all gone in Japan.
I think overal the Japan concerts might be the best vocal performances Bono has ever done. Each song on those nights he sings very clear and stronger than he maybe ever has and barely misses a note. He never shys away from the high notes and holds them longer than the CD versions is most cases. His voice sounds rejuvinated and alive. Songs like Pride and Where the Streets have no name never sounded as good. His voice sounds extremely strong on Somtimes and Miss Sarajevo. He sings Mysterious ways better than Zoo Tv the song sounds amazing on all 3 nights.
The performace of Bad from Japan is one of my all time favorites the way he hits and holds those wide awakes. Further, I have yet to hear a better performace of With or Without you from any tour than the November 30 Japan performance. Bono just gives it the power it deserves and finnaly for once his voice can keep up with him.
Great great shows wish I could have seen them and feeling a little robbed that they werent put on DVD to represent the vertigo tour.
