"POPMart" tour - may 14, 1997 - Memphis, TN - Liberty Bowl. A tall screened backdrop ran endless, colorful images ranging from a monkey-to-man evolutionary chain and rave dancers to fighter plane animation styled after Roy Lichtenstein and Keith Haring's distinctive stick people. During Bullet the Blue Sky, 14 huge spotlights shot straight up bulleting the black sky. When the band encored, they emerged from the lemon, which had shed its yellow skin and became a twirling mirror ball. Studio 54? Memphis had Stadium 54. In the night's funniest bit, The Edge - accompanied by a karaoke soundtrack - sang the lyrics to Daydream Believer, which were broadcast in big yellow words on the screen.

21st 'VERTIGO' show - may 14, 2005 - Philadelphia, PA - Wachovia Center - Kings of Leon Edge was on fire / bluesy Bullet solo from Edge! Bono brings two young girls on stage during 'Into the Heart.' Actor Jim Carrey is spotted in the VIP area tonight, and Gavin Friday -- who had come over to help with the recent video shoot in Chicago -- is also in attendance. Edge was totally on fire....Edge's guitar riff right before kicking it into City Of Blinding Lights, as the spotlight is on him only - cool stuff. The bluesy Bullet The Blue Sky solo from Edge was great. Some photos on: U2tours
