On another (non-U2) website there was much talk about U2 lip synching at their Boston shows.
Several forum members (casual U2 fans) allege Bono lip synched Crumbs and partially lip synched at least 3 other songs. And they claim he was busted - big time!! Especially at the end of Crumbs.
They also claim Edge lip synched the backing vocals on a number of tracks - and pretended to be singing when Bono was clearly not in time with his pre-recorded lead vocals.
Can anyone verify these claims or comment on how much lip synching actually goes on at U2 concerts this tour.
I haven't seen U2 live since '97 (being an Aussie) but I've seen footage that suggests some songs have been played to backing tracks for both instruments and vocals - such as Beautiful Day (which had/has both).
And I've often suspected the Spanish call-out vocals in Vertigo were not really sung live by Edge (on the many TV performances).
I'd love to hear first-hand comments.
