Slane Castle > Boston anyway, IMO.
Slane is great, but Bullet and The Fly from Boston make it a pretty even fight.

The pathetic and entitled "hole in the heart" sit down protestors in Boston taint that entire production.
If they remastered this, did they finally take out the "I have a frog in my throat" line? I, to this day, have no idea why Bono said that when he knew it was being recorded for a concert film, and why they left it in there!
Still there. Looking at the video there was effectively no way* to do a workable overdub. And it’s charming.
Thinking back, Elevation in this show was when many of us here first noticed that the “woo”s were on tape. A clumsy dub to get rid of the ‘frog’ line would have tipped us all over the edge![]()
*Of course, in Zoo Station we hear Bono singing while seeing him not singing, so anything’s possible.
[emoji813]Fortunately those people have all found new careers unofficially managing GA lines.
I agree that was pathetic, but if you showed the Boston film to someone who didn’t know about it, I bet you a beer that they wouldn’t notice.
I got Gloria instead of NYD when I saw them on that leg. Good tradeoff.I was never sure about NYD either in that spot specifically or on the Vertigo tour generally. Opinion hasn’t changed over time. Feels like a “well, we’ve got to put something here...” sort of spot.
