Nice find! And a great watch.
It's truly exceptional that the first Sydney gig is infamous for being the only regular tour show that was missed by any U2 member. 45 years playing gigs and just this one show? Wow.

I've been in jobs where certain employees would be out sick at least once a month ,Adam misses one gig and it makes world headlines thankfully he got himself together, TBH I'm surprised that they all kept it together for so long most bands who get mega success usually go off the rails or split up and not many have scaled the heights U2 have.
Originally posted by Papo:It's amazing that Stuart Morgan pulled it off at such short notice. Of course, some songs are easy to play on bass. With half a day of preparation I could probably play 60-80% of the set (as I have played those songs on bass before), but a whole show and on stage in front of an audience is a completely different thing...
Did he really play himself on all songs or did they fly in some parts that were pre-recorded, probably tracks played by Adam at previous shows?
I'm thinking of songs like Even Better, Until the end, Lemon... which can go horribly wrong if the bass part isn't right.
