Video #3: U2 - Vertigo in Chicago ‘05

I read somewhere that this was a fantastic concert DVD. And I felt like seeing a U2 concert after recently watching the Edge in It Might Get Loud. I liked it, but I did fast forward through a bunch of slower songs that I wasn’t crazy about. Bono talks too much, too. But I admit that Bono is definitely a charismatic guy. I give him credit for trying to use his influence to make the world a better place. I’ll bet he could start his own religion and could give L. Ron Hubbard a run for his money.

The Edge sounded great. I put the laptop down, and played along with some of it, and was surprised that they tuned down for some of the songs – like Pride in the Name of Love. Usually, I can just tell by listening when a band does this, but for their songs, I couldn’t until I tried to play along.

The highlight for me was One. It’s not exactly the same as Metallica’s One, but this One was powerful in its own subtle way, and I love the Edge’s playing in it. Check it out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY0UueqC07E
