Vertigo
So as you can see from the very clear camera phone picture that rivals Garrets midget picture (which could have either been two midgets walking or a blurry picture of a food stand from 90 yards away), not only is my motorola razor worth every damn penny, I spent last night in Row 19, Section 119 of the Oakland Arena for the return leg of U2's Vertigo Tour.
The boys from Ireland were in fine form, and rocked my ass right off. I was glad to catch this coming back around, because it really felt like the completion of the first set of shows. They trimmed out a couple of the old songs, and a couple of the newer songs, and supplemented them with a few songs from "the middle" which is never a bad idea. The only downsides were Bono wasnt feeling very preachy, and I felt like I got screwed by getting stuck with Damien Marley as the opener (he REALLY likes Jamaica) especially when next weeks opener is Kanye West.
For those of you keeping score at home, the set list was as follows:
U2 Oakland, CA November 9th
Set List
City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation (this song kicks so much ass live)
Mysterious Ways
End of the World
Still Havent Found/In a little while
Beautiful Day
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Cant Make it
Love and Peace Or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky/Hands that built america/Johnny comes marching home
Miss Sarajevo (bono went ahead and nailed the Pavarotti part... ballsy)
Pride
Streets have no name
One/One Tree Hill (acoustic)
Zoo Station
The Fly
With or Without You (Probably the high-light of the night!).
All Because of You
Yahweh
Forty
(nate/brandon if you want to compare that list to san jose, here you go)
