my hometown.

the eight and final show of vertigo for me. In my hometown. Ive grown up in this building with this band. My vote for show of the tour. MY HOMETOWN.

a WARM and orderly GA line. Hats off to the Civic Center staff for a fine job indeed.

we had GA'S. PROPOGANDA!!!!!!! scanned into the Elipse. with BobL and George.

MY HOMETOWN.

highlights:

1.GLORIA

2.The EDGE
3.The EDGE
4.THE EDGE.
the sound mix in the elipse, sorta distorted and EDGE heavy!!!!!! MY GOD!! The grin on his face during that pedal ELEVATION intro. His piano on Original of the Species!! something he was doing during PRIDE was way different and freaking WILD!! The serious ECHO,early Edge echo, on that baby blue Telecaster on INSTANT KARMA. I want my own edge for the house. Put it in the mudroom.

5.LOVE AND PEACE. being close enough to Larry to hear his drum live, before it hits out from the PA. Larry's right arm had a 1" by at least 15" thin bandage running from past the elbow down to the wrist.

6.UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD. they were running so fast. and the way EDGE hovers up behind Lawrence at the end. Adam facing Larry from the front.

7.JOHN LENNON.

This was U2's 8th show at the civic center. by far one of the best.

Was it me, or did each band member really look like they wouldn't want to be anywhere else but Hartford CT during the whole show. ME NEITHER.

Bono mentioned HARTFORD by name MULTIPLE times.

MY HOMETOWN.

Pride. in the name of love
