  1. Originally posted by Papo:I just noticed another snippet right before "Acrobat". It's a little melody without lyrics, sung by Bono. He's qouting a famous recording by Ella Fitzgerald, "How High The Moon" recorded "Live in Berlin" in 1960. The melody however is not How High The Moon, it's something Ella apparently snippeted as well.
    Anybody got a clue about where that Ella snippet is from?
    Are you talking about the part where he hums 'So Long, Farewell' from The Sound Of Music as part of MacPhisto's goodbye speech?
  2. Yep, I think thats it! Thank you!
  3. Wow, impressive
  4. So, the big questions are: Does it count as an official snippet? And is Bono aware that Ella sang it in Berlin in 1961?
  5. Woe, that looks so cool! 👍 Haven't been around on the forum for a while, but today I felt really kind of homesick...watched the amazing Berlin DVD, relived my happy-meeting-Bono moment for like 100 times...so many happy memories 💜💜💜

  6. Can't get over how good Berlin 3 was.

    Insane.
  7. Berlin 3 was the best show I saw of 9. The problems I had with it were all around the fact that I *personally* wasn't ready for the tour to end at that point : 2014-18 was a wonderful period to be a fan, and will be looked at as a glorious era, in the way that Zoo 1991-93 is looked upon as a golden age to be a fan.
  8. Favourite show I’ve attended, I’ve been trying hard not to think about the dvd release because I know there’s probably a little while yet to wait for it but really I’m desperate to relive it all again, I’ll probably end up watching it over and over the first day it comes out and then listening to the audio rip in my bed too lol. It was just excellent.
  9. if I can be seen ugly crying on that dvd I want everyone to burn it

    Sparko made an excellent multi-cam, that I suspect captures the real thing better than the official release will. Of course the official audio will be better, but the whole thing has a feel of the real atmosphere, that the official stuff often lacks.
  11. Nah, Berlin 1 and 2 were much better... not bitter at all that I couldn’t make the rearranged show.
  12. Yeah mainly Berlin 2 - the best one
