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 Apr 26, 2005 in Vertigo - 1st Leg - North America, Vertigo Tour | Comments Off

Remarks:
For the second straight show, ‘Miracle Drug’ is dedicated to a local girl named Jennifer whom Bono says is ill. Bono brings a young boy named Jason on stage during ‘Sometimes.’ They’re arm-in-arm as Bono sings the song to Jason, who is also mouthing the words. It’s an incredibly emotional moment, and tears stream down Bono’s face as he sings the song as if singing to his own son. Bono sings ‘Mysterious Ways’ to ‘sexy Adam’, and the two do a brief duel at the tip of the ellipse. Reminiscent of U2′s earliest shows, ‘Vertigo’ is played a second time to close the show (it had been done twice at some appearances on the How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb Promotional Tour).
