The afternoon performances seem to hold up better, generally. The "big" pieces at night (Mick and Tina, for example) were so kitschy.
That Bowie set was killer. So nice to see a killer band onstage with a legit legendary singer, just laying it out there...no big production, pyro, video screens, or light show. That folks, is real talent.
I'm glad Bono stopped wearing wigs.
Has Bowie ever been subpar live? David is, to me, a consistently underrated performer - maybe because he's chosen to stay out the limelight for most of the last 15 years and not whore himself at every opportunity.
I thought it was great too. Funny thing is, Bono winged that crowd thing on his own. At one point the rest of the band couldn't even see him -didn't know what he was doing, and just kept stalling. Apparently they were all pissed at him afterward.
Yes, Bono even went so far as to suggest that things were so acrimonious backstage that he thought the band might break up right then. His excursion also shortened their set by at least one entire song (a little known tune called "Pride (In the Name of Love)". Was it worth it? No doubt. It stands as one of the transcendent moments of the day.
If you were a U2 fan then this was a great moment, but for the casual fan, not so much, I'm not surprised the rest of the band were mad, they had worked out a plan for an 18 minute set and Bono spends 10 minutes off the map and they have to drop a key song.
I don't know about that in as much as so many sources over the years have pointed to this as not only one of the top highlights of the entire day, but also the moment that thrust U2 into the pantheon of rockstars.
, but I can play the thing. " It was also the first time that I watched something where I could tell the difference between a Strat, Tele , Les Paul etc...
