"The Joshua Tree" tour - july 21, 1987. U2 perform in Munich, Germany at the Olympiahalle. On the first night, Bono recalls one of the first times U2 played Germany: "The first time we played here we played a small club called The Sugarshack. We walked onstage at about one o'clock in the morning and we had been drinking alcohol--Bavarian Schnapps! Because it was way past our bedtime we were all very drunk and in fact we fell asleep in the dressing room before we came on stage and our manager Paul Mcguinness, was shaking us saying 'You have the whole of Germany outside, you must wake up!' And we said, 'No, no..we want to sleep...' But I didn't know itw as going to be like this! So now when we drink Bavarian alcohol, we drink it after the gig, not before!" "Spanish Eyes" is also played again. Leslie Dowdall of "In Tua Nua" pours champagne during "Party Girl". Support is "In Tua Nua".
"Elevation" tour - july 21, 2001 / Turin, Italy - Stadio Delle Alpi - Timoria, Verdena, Fun Lovin' Criminals. U2 plays its first outdoor show of the tour at the 80,000 capacity Delle Alpi stadium. Edge wears this night, burgundly shirt #7.
50th 'VERTIGO' show - july 21, 2005 - Milan - Italy - San Siro Stadium - Feeder, Ash. 2nd night of filming / lights very low / the crowd singing along to Edge´s guitar and keyboard / Original of the Species is again played with members of the Symphony Orchestra of Theatre Carlo Coccia de Novara on both b-stages, The Edge on the guitar and Terry Lawless on piano / Bono pulled a girl on stage during All I Want Is You / Underground. On the 2nd night of filming, U2 plays a show that matches last night's concert. Original of the Species is again played with members of the Symphony Orchestra of Theatre Carlo Coccia de Novara on both b-stages, The Edge on the guitar and Terry Lawless on piano. Wonder strong string section under the super lights. "The crowd was very enthusiastic again, singing along to Edge's guitar and keyboard parts as they had already been doing yesterday (imagine a whole stadium singing the keyboard melody to New Year's Day and you get an idea of what the atmosphere in San Siro was like). Bono pulled a girl on stage during All I Want Is You and they danced ring-a-ring-a-roses, with all Italian men staring happily in fascination....the lights were very low...they keep the lights down at 15-20% of the normal intensity in order to make screens, band and audience all evenly lit for the filming. Bono is in great mood. He makes photos of the audience (Elevation), plays with a ball and shoots it into the audience (BD), talks about the DVD shoot (before ISHFWILF), pulls a girl on stage and dances with her (AIWIY), talks about his meeting with the late pope (One) and puts on a shirt of a fan, on which is written "Underground" (WOWY). Original Of The Species again with a string orchestra on both b-stages. Some photos on: U2-Vertigo-tour
