U2 recorded live at the Glendale Arena in Arizona on the 15th of April 2005 during the bands Vertigo tour. Glendale Arena is a nice place for concerts and at the floor they have staff selling beer and they have a tunnel entrance with it’s own bathroom. You never have to leave the floor for anything. Well laid out and relatively great sound too. In other words a really beautiful place. Bono’s voice was strong after a multi day layoff and the band was as comfortable and had put togher a set list that rocked and the crowd went off. Watching the Edge work his way through the songs one after the other was amazing. To see the concentration in his face as he plays the very complicated task of being the mission control for U2. He definitely speaks with his guitar and not his emotions. Just a true scientist at work. This became apparent when his wireless system went out more than once. The worse being before Sunday Bloody Sunday when Larry kicked into the drum cadence and Edge locked in twith the guitar only to have no sound. Out comes Dallas with a backup cord…nothing…..Larry keeps the beat going extending it out……second back up cord seems like forever but its plugged in by Dallas….bam didn’t miss a beat hit the opening cords and we were off again…..what a veterean band…they didn’t even flinch. Adam has become Bono’s right hand. Adam has not only broken out of his shell but has torn it down. Acknowledging the crowd personally. Huge smile on his face as he worked around and made eye contact. And who’s idea was it to play Yahweh from the Eclipse? Adam’s, as I saw him speak into Bono’s ear and then Bono’s nod before they gathered for the treck to the tip. No more camping out to Larry’s left all night the man is now a true showman. Major props to Adam. This was a perfect night and the band must hae added at least one extra song to the set as the show lasted 2:10 minutes or so. As compared to the normal 2 hour to the minute set of past shows. The boys had a blast and it shows. Arizona definetly brought the best out of them and U2 responded with their best show of the tour.
