Disc 1 & 2 : Boston, Massasuchets, 28 Mai 2005

Location : from the lower level behind the stage

Last concert of the 1st leg on the Vertigo Tour.

Bono appears in a rather average form this evening there (with a a little bit tired voice). On Elevation, Bono Boston thanks for the rain. Rain which remind him his country. During Electric Co, Bono releases itself and leaves us a piece of Bullet With Butterfly Wings of Smashing Pumpkins. With the end of Into the heart, Bono speaks with a child called Alex. After having taken knowledge of his name, Bono will answer him: "my name is Paul". At the end of Beautiful day, Bono adds a piece of Here Comes The Sun of Beatles. At the end of Bullet the blue sky it improvises around Johnny comes marching home again. As since the beginning of the Tour Bono Africanizes Where the streets cuts No name. We can hear what it seems to be a "djembé". And as since the beginning of Vertigo Tour, these are three large minutes of speech beforeOne. U2 play four titles of ACHTUNG BABY. Note a"fade" between One and the "mama" before The Fly . Since a long time U2 plays Who's gonna ride your wild horses (what causes the joy of the public of course). Bono misses a little the part with "turn around". The public sings alone a part of the song. The band misfires a little the end of Party Girl and finishes by a second Vertigo (as with good old days of the beginning of the Eighties with Out of control or 11 O' clock tick tock). Very good setlist for this concert of May 28th, 2005. But, a a little tired band (Bono and Edge have some difficulties throughout concert). The sound is not excellent. It is necessary to await the end in the concert (with a calmer public) for better hearing Bono. Bootleg sympathetic nerve which is worth especially for its setlist in fact.

Very good/good audience sound.

The public often covers the voice of Bono (already covered by instruments). Not badly of echo. We hear too much the cymbals of Larry. When Bono speaks it is necessary to tighten the ear to include/understand. Small problem of sound at the beginning of Who's gonna wrinkle your wild horses.
