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 Jun 30, 2005 in Vertigo - 2nd Leg - Europe, Vertigo Tour | Comments Off

Opening Act(s): Starsailor, The Killers
Setlist:
Vertigo, I Will Follow, The Electric Co., Elevation, New Year’s Day, Beautiful Day, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, All I Want Is You, City Of Blinding Lights, 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, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Where The Streets Have No Name, One. Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, With Or Without You, All Because Of You, Yahweh, Vertigo.
Remarks:
Running To Stand Still is again dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi with a quick ‘Happy Birthday’ and a bit of ‘Walk On’ added. Bono namechecks Midge Ure, who is at the show, before One for his help with the Make Poverty History campaign. A great moment occurs at the end of the song, as Bono and The Edge start ‘Unchained Melody’ and then trail off and let the crowd take over and finish the song in unison.

Opening Act(s): Paddy Casey, The Thrills
Setlist:
Vertigo, Out Of Control, The Electric Co., Elevation, New Year’s Day, Beautiful Day-Blackbird, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, All I Want Is You, City Of Blinding Lights, 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, Party Girl, All Because Of You, Yahweh, Vertigo.
Remarks:
N/An early-in-the-set version of Out of Control (the song this city chose as U2′s first single 26 years ago) gets the crowd pumped up. It’s the first time the song has been played on the European tour, and only the second time all year. Bono dances with a female fan during All I Want Is You, and brings a male fan on stage to play guitar during Party Girl. Bono tells the crowd that the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, is in attendance. Videocamera crews from Dreamchaser Productions capture the show.
