2011-07-02 - Nashville, Tennessee - Vanderbilt Stadium


setlist

Performance notes: This is just the second U2 concert ever in Nashville, 29 years and 7 months after the first. It is also the first U2 concert anywhere in the state of Tennessee since 14 May 1997, Memphis. The snippet of The Wanderer is quite lengthy, running to two verses. At the end of the show, Bono pulls a member of the crowd on stage to play guitar; he performs All I Want Is You with the band, dedicating it to his wife.

Performance

The band come out and put on a really fine show here in Tennessee.EBTTRT,The Fly sound great to kick the show off.Very nice energy there.MW,UTEOTW,IWF.Great start.But now, we have Boots, to kill the feel.Crazy Tonight Remix/Boots are the only songs, that I have issues with, at this point.We are in the 3rd summer of the 360 tour,it would be nice if the band played a couple of different songs from No Line,instead of insisting on forcing, those 2 tired awful songs on the fans.Those are the "bathroom break songs".Mercy,No Line,Breathe,Fez anyone ?
ISHFWILF is fantastic,as always.Then Bono starts up the Wanderer.The first of 2 great standout moments at this show.He starts in the wrong key,then catches himself, and does a great J.Cash vocal,I love this.This flows right into Stay,nice slow,solid version here.Im always moved, when I hear that song.BD has the great intro,that I really enjoy.I love the interaction with Mark Kelly,as the songs intro builds up.'Im looking forward to comming HOME.Tell my WIFE I love her very much...SHE KNOWS".That is so great.BD kicks in,really great positive feel.
Zooropa,fits in this set so well,and sounds perfect here.The intro to Zooropa is great.WTF?/What Do You Want ? ?.Reminds me a bit of Fitter Happier by Radiohead.I cant wait to hear this live, at my shows.The rest of the show is solid,pretty standard set.


Sound

For an audience, amature bootleg,this really sounds great.Edge has a bit of "tin" sound at times,but that does not take away from the raw sound, and feel, of this boot.Bonos voice is very clear.Adams bass sounds very good/deep (COBL),as does Larry.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4.5 stars

Audience

Very very good crowd.

Overall

The start of this show,up to Vertigo,(I skip Boots), I love.The middle section,from Crazy Remix (awful) - MOS,is very standard,and so predictable now.
MOS is a decent song,but it just isnt strong enough, to close almost EVERY SHOW since 2009.After MOS,we all assumed the gig was over,but wait,Bono calls up a fan,who is blind,and asks him what song he would like to play.AIWIY,A CLASSIC,is then performed,with the fan.A true,great moment,that really moved me.I watched this over and over on You Tube.The band should do this more often,instead of ending each show with the same song, MOS.Because of this moment,this Tennessee gig,was instantly elevated as a classic show.
AIWIY (of course),The Wanderer,Stay,The Fly and Zooropa are standouts here.IMO,a must have show.
