The band temporarily move to Dublin to record at Dog Town, S.T.S. Studios, and Windmill Lane Studios. Brian Eno joins the group in late August 1991 to help with the final mixing of the "Achtung Baby" album.

U2 plays and wins at MTV Europe Awards - november 6, 1997 - The Popmuzik intro started while Dennis Hopper, one of the real easy riders, introduced the greatest band in the world. Actually he said "The Mofo's of all Mofo'ers!" U2 performs "Mofo" at the MTV European Music Awards in Rotterdam, and wins the award for "Best Live Act." While accepting the award, Bono sings Jacques Brel's 'Port of Amsterdam' - he changes it into 'Rotterdam' and dedicates it to Dutch singer and painter Herman Brood, with whom the band had spent time since they arrived in The Netherlands two days earlier.

U2 album leaked online (HTDAAB) - november 6, 2005. The full 11-songs from U2's upcoming album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, are leaked online more than two weeks before the November 22 release date. U2 gives thought to moving up the CD release, but decides to leave it alone.

Edge was at the attendance of Stones´show in L.A. November 6, 2005. The Rolling Stones returned to the Hollywood Bowl for the first time since 1966 on Sunday, playing for about 18,000 fans at the historic venue including U2 guitarist the Edge, actor Tom Hanks and cycling champion Lance Armstrong....Besides a delirious Hanks, a low-key Edge and Armstrong, the celebrity quotient also included actor James Spader, who reverentially shook his head throughout the show, his "Boston Legal" co-star William Shatner, Fleetwood Mac drummer Mick Fleetwood, comic Garry Shandling, baseball slugger Barry Bonds, actress Meg Ryan, and liberal activist Steve Bing.

U2's rehearsal in Australia - (Kite is beautiful and includes a didgeridoo, a traditional Australian Aboriginal wind instrument) - November 6, 2006 - Brisbane - Around 6pm as the sun set on a nice day, Edge was in the stadium soundchecking with the techs - a brief snippet of The Electric Co. appeared during this check. Clouds were gathering above, and as it got dark, it began to rain lightly and intermittently. The crew were running tests with the screen, more intensively once it was fully dark, but the fans who were gathered began to worry U2 would not rehearse due to the rain. At four minutes to eight o'clock, The Arcade Fire's Wake Up began blasting over the speakers as light rain fell, and it was followed by the "Everyone" intro. Then U2 came on stage to loud cheering and calls of "let us in!" from the assembled fans outside the stadium. The setlist was: 1. City Of Blinding Lights / Singing In The Rain (snippet) 2. Vertigo / She Loves You (snippet) 3. Singing In The Rain (snippet) / Elevation / Never Tear Us Apart (snippet) 4. Until The End Of The World 5. New Year's Day (Bono did not sing at all after Edge's solo) 6. Beautiful Day 7. Yahweh (earliest this song has ever been played in a set) 8. Walk On (full band, unlike the acoustic versions done last year) The rain had become heavier over the course of the previous few songs and some lightning had been seen, so Bono announced "straight to Pride". After a brief pause as the band and technicians organised themselves, followed by a false start on Pride, the band played: 9. Pride (In The Name Of Love) (fully instrumental, second verse/second chorus cut) Bono spoke some more, although we couldn't quite understand him. Edge played some teasers on guitar. 10. Where The Streets Have No Name (largely instrumental; Bono weakly sung the first verse) 11. Unknown singing / One / Rain (snippet) 12. As the band paused, Bono sung Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys 13. Zoo Station (complete with Zoo baby slots intro; first lyrics cut, began at "cool of the night") 14. The Fly 15. With Or Without You / Never Tear Us Apart (snippet) / Love Will Tear Us Apart (snippet) 16. The Saints Are Coming 17. Angel Of Harlem (Bono played harmonica at the end) 18. Kite. This was followed by Bono inviting Father Jack Heaslip to give a blessing on the tour. Heaslip began with "Bono sang the saints are coming. I say the saints are already here". The rain had begun to ease during the Zoo set. Over the end of Beautiful Day after the "all the colours came out" verse, Bono primarily sung "oooh oooh" to the melody rather than singing the correct lyrics. Yahweh was the same acoustic version as has usually been played on tour. Walk On was full band and rather akin to the Elevation Tour versions. Bono played guitar and had a music stand in front of him. The last time a full electric version of this song was performed publicly was at the Grammy Awards on february 27, 2002. An acoustic version was done seven times last year. Over One's intro, Bono sung some singing. One did not have the "do you hear us coming?" verse. After One, during the pause until the commencement of Zoo Station, Bono sung Two Little Boys, a song written in 1902 by Theodore Morse and Edward Madden and popularised by Australian entertainer Rolf Harris in 1969. Angel Of Harlem has been performed just once on the Vertigo Tour, on october 29, 2005 in Dallas when a fan came on stage and played the song with U2. The last time the song was included in a concert's original set was december 1, 2001. The new version of Kite is beautiful and includes a didgeridoo, a traditional Australian Aboriginal wind instrument. The beginning includes Kite's strings and soft guitar, with the rest of the band joining soon after. At the end of the song, Edge launched into an extended solo based upon the solo earlier in the song. At the end, Bono sings the "who's to say where the wind will take you?" verse again. Videos:
