U2 // Live from Chicago // 10 May 2005 // Audience recording

Tour:    • Vertigo Tour (2005 - 2006)   | Leg 1: North America Date: 10 May 2005 Venue: United Center City: Chicago, Illinois, USA Used recording(s): • Audience recording by Dudzik (A-): AT853C ► battery box ► D8 Happy birthday Bono! To celebrate the B-man's big B-day I've decided to upload the last of only four shows to ever be performed on this day. This isn't the only special occasion for tonight's concert, however, as this is one of the shows that was recorded for the official release. A side effect of this is that the setlist is similar to the previous one to allow for more options on the cutting floor, which doesn't mean this show is stale at all! "Party Girl" is performed again during the second encore, and once again an audience member (the same one) is brought on stage to play guitar. The show ends with a second performance of "Vertigo", something that would become very common on the European leg of the tour. Bono adds a "Drowning Man" snippet during "Beautiful Day". Luckily, both Bono's birthday and the fact this show is being filmed lead to the band going above and beyond, playing one of the best concerts on the first leg of the tour if not the entire year. Many songs feature unique improvisation, great embellishments and rare studio phrasings, making this a highlight for any fan of the band. Bono's voice sounds a bit raspier tonight, giving it a really nice and powerful sound on the more energetic songs and a more vulnerable side for the softer songs of the evening. The audience is your classic Chicago crowd, meaning it's absolutely excellent and singing along during all songs with lots of enthusiasm and passion. Before the second encore, they chant "Happy birthday" for Bono. 00:00:00 - xx. Wake Up (tape) 00:04:15 - 01. City of Blinding Lights 00:10:36 - 02. Vertigo / Stories for Boys 00:15:38 - 03.
