All of us are different, so I'm sure mine is not particularly unique. But "the thing" which got me into U2 was:
- on a now defunct U.S. cable channel called Trio, in 2003 they broadcast a 30 minute special on the Best Of 1990-2000, which included clips of Sydney '93, Mexico '98, and Boston '01. The creativity of these live clips sucked me in,I tracked down the Slane '01 live DVD and was hooked.
- A few months later, August '04 brought Vertigo, November brought Hutdab and the Brooklyn Bridge show.... and while I don't remember what originally linked me to Interference, my first memory of this place was listening to Chrisedge's recording of the first Vertigo gig the day after it happened (a mean feat in 2005). Edge's guitar failed for the opening Vertigo riff. The weird things that stick in your mind...
Anyone else have clear memories of their first experiences, either of the band or of the forum?
