About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh. My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on Mar 31, 2005 in News & Rumors | Comments Off

Remarks:
‘Gloria’ is played for the first time since the end of the Lovetown Tour in 1990. Bono invites a fan on stage before ‘Miracle Drug’ and asks the fan for Spanish lessons. Before ‘One’, Bono talks about Eddie Vedder, who grew up in the San Diego area and first played music here. Vedder is in attendance at tonight’s show. Bono coins a new name for this tour’s version of the ‘heart’ when he asks ‘How we doing in the bomb shelter?’ before ‘Yahweh.’

Opening Act(s): Kings of Leon
Setlist:
City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo-Stories For Boys, The Cry, The Electric Co., An Cat Dubh-Into The Heart, Beautiful Day, New Year’s Day, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own, Love And Peace Or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky, Running To Stand Still, Zoo Station, The Fly, Elevation. Encore: Pride (In The Name Of Love), Where The Streets Have No Name, One, All Because Of You, Yahweh, 40.
Remarks:
The Vertigo 2005 Tour opens up in San Diego, California, with confetti falling around the full stage as Bono sings ‘City Of Blinding Lights’ from out at the edge of the ellipse. ‘The Cry’ and ‘The Electric Co.’ are played for the first time since 1987, not counting the dress rehearsal two nights ago. ‘An Cat Dubh-Into The Heart’ hasn’t been played since 1984. Larry helps sing during ‘Elevation’ and plays keyboards during ‘Yahweh.’ The concert ends with a full version of ’40′ just like the ’80s, with each band member leaving the stage separately and a brief drum solo from Larry.
