08-06-01, Boston Fleet Center. This recording was made from internet MP3 files via www.u2bloodredsky.com. Sound Quality: Good audience recording. Comments: It was the 3rd night in Boston, and after the rehearsal for the HBO shoot, the HBO shoot itself, it was finally time for some setlist odities to turn up. In this case Sweetest thing, Angel of Harlem and my favorite, 11 o'clok tick tock, got dusted off and were copy 'n pasted into the setlist. Pride was not played that night so probably there was no second encore, only one big one. Bono introduces the bandmembers as the Spice girls, Larry being Baby Spice, Adam being Posh Spice and the Edge being.... Anyway, Bono's up his soapbox again during One, as he ridicules the chairman of some official healthcare institution who claims that it is not necessary to sell cheap anti-aids drugs to african nations because most people there don't have wristwatches. What a wristwatch has to do with medicine is beyond me and sounds so ludicrous that I just have to agree with Bono. He urges everyone to send wristwatches to this asshole. |
