Yeah he did sound a bit like he was getting over a cold on SNL, but he does generally sound a bit worse on promo performances than he does mid tour. I'm quite optimistic he will get better. Also, I don't know if they have found the right key yet for some songs live, so there's that too.
On a side note, Edge's guitar sounded much better during GOOYOW. I thought it sounded a bit weird when they played it live in London. I'm glad they have improved that since then.
I wonder also if Bono is still using salt water for keeping his vocals sounding clean? I heard he was doing this during the 360 tour and it definitely sounded like it helped. I remember reading somewhere he said it helped him reach the high notes.

Listen from 6m10s and to the end.

Originally posted by LikeASong:Yes, that's true. Tour shows use to be better, his voice (just as everyone else) warms up after a few songs and it gets better through the show.
