I feel the same way about the Fly. I think their performance of The Fly was so much better on Boston DVD than on the Vertigo DVD. Oh sorry... the Chicago dvd. Give the people of Chicago their due

I agree. That performance is spellbinding: the guitar, the stage running the intensity, the lyrics, Bono looking over his shoulder...and the intro don't even get me started. it's perfect. Okay I'm done
DreamOutLoud13 said:Ugh, the With or Without You video drives me up the freaking wall. The first time I watched it, I sat there and kept waiting for him to actually play something. I waited. And waited. Finally he took the guitar off and swung it around a bit, and then it was over. I was like

I thought the fact that it was Dallas was common knowledge? Watch The Fly on the ZooTV DVD. On the VHS the second guitar is too quiet, on the DVD it's crystal clear. The camera spends a lot of time up close on Bono. Watch how miraculously his guitar still plays after he moves his hand/s away from it, or how it's playing full chords while he is only lightly touching one string with one finger. Clever trick.
