June 15 1992 U2 perform in Rotterdam, Holland at the Sport Paleis Ahoy. "One" is dedicated to two fans who have travelled from Dublin on their honeymoon, Patrick and Alison. While flipping between channels, Bono stops at a Holland vs. CIS game, which draws chants of "Ole! Ole! Ole!" from the crowd. "What is this strange ritual they call football? Holland 13, Russia 11. Could that be right?" Later on, Bono again talks about football, and the fact that players from the now-defunct Soviet Union are beating the Dutch: "Zero-Zero. Not good. I don't know, you give these people freedom and then they come and kick your ass..." Support is B.P. Fallon and "Fatima Mansions".

"Elevation" tour - june 15, 2001 / Washington, DC - MCI Center - PJ Harvey - Bono brings a fan on-stage near the end of 'Bullet the Blue Sky', shines the spotlight on the fan and together they recite the end of the song.

32nd 'VERTIGO' show - june 15, 2005 - Manchester, England - Manchester Stadium - Athlete, Idlewild - premiere of "All I Want Is You" this tour. That song, along with the addition of I Still Haven't Found... makes for a longer-than-usual main set, which might explain why the encore is shorter than normal. U2 on stage. Few Mexican waves, Vertigo was the perfect opener with amazing riff belted out by The Edge. Elevation...they did not start the song until Bono worked the crowd into singing half of it. silly lyrics.. but what an effect in the stadium. After a nice version of New Year's day with Edge filling the stadium with soundscapes. "I still Haven't Found What I´m Looking For" started with a slightly different guitar from Edge, the song started like the choir version in Rattle and Hum but merged into the original tune. This was followed by All I Want Is You. Miracle Drug which Bono dedicated to the nurses and doctors in the audience....Bono pulled a girl onto the stage and it seems she was never going to let him go...." Some photos on: U2-Vertigo-tour
