| Notes | The show originally starts with 'Stand By Me' by John Lennon being played on the speakers. The band comes on stage while the song is playing and join in halfway through the song. The torrent version fades in at the point where the version by John Lennon can't be heard anymore to prevent any rule violation. >B.B. King appears on Tracks 5-7 of Disc 2. Bono gets pissed off at some over zealous members of the audience by saying, "If you can not live together in here, then you can not live together out there, let me tell ya". Bono introduces "Slow Dancing", as a song he wrote for Willie Nelson, by saying, "we've never played this song before, so..."< (from www.asmusu2.dk/flom/freedomofthespirits.htm) >This concert is often said to have somewhat of a "backwards setlist", due to the presence of songs normally played late in the set appearing in its early stages, such as Pride and New Year's Day, while the main set staple trio of Desire, All Along The Watchtower, and All I Want Is You is in the encore. Also noteworthy is the first performance of Slow Dancing in concert - nearly four years before its first official studio release! Bono had previously sung some of the song on Australian radio in October 1989.< (from www.u2gigs.com) |
