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 May 25, 2005 in Vertigo - 1st Leg - North America, Vertigo Tour | Comments Off

Opening Act(s): Kings of Leon
Setlist:
City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo-Stories For Boys, Elevation, The Cry, The Electric Co., The Ocean, Beautiful Day, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own, Love And Peace Or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky-When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Running To Stand Still, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Where The Streets Have No Name, One. Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, Mysterious Ways-My Sweet Lord, All Because Of You, Yahweh, 40.
Remarks:
U2′s unofficial hometown in the United States gives the band a loud and energetic welcome for the first of three shows to close out the tour’s first leg. Bono counts 1, 2, 3, 14 in Gaelic during ‘Vertigo’, saying Boston is an Irish town, not Spanish. Former J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf is namechecked during ‘Beautiful Day’, and ’40′ is dedicated to Teresa Earnhardt, widow of racing legend Dale Earnhardt, who is presumably at the show.

Opening Act(s): Kings of Leon
Setlist:
City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo-Stories For Boys, Elevation, Gloria, The Ocean, Beautiful Day-Ultraviolet (Light My Way), Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own, Love And Peace Or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky-When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Running To Stand Still, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Where The Streets Have No Name, One. Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, Mysterious Ways, With Or Without You, All Because Of You, Yahweh, 40.
Remarks:
Bono brings fans on stage during ‘Beautiful Day’ and ‘Mysterious Ways.’ The girl on stage during the latter ends up staying on stage through ‘With Or Without You.’ ‘All Because Of You’ is an unplanned addition to the setlist, and at the last minute the band chooses to end with ’40′, rather than ‘Bad’ which was planned as the closing song.

Remarks:
U2′s only show in New York City this spring comes two days after the annual Joey Ramone Birthday Bash concert, and Bono sings a bit of The Ramones’ ‘Rockaway Beach’ during ‘Vertigo.’ ‘One’ is dedicated to economist Jeffery Sachs, who has been Bono’s longtime partner in promoting African relief efforts. At the end of ‘The Fly’, the full band goes into an abbreviated version of David Bowie’s ‘The Jean Genie.’
