Leg III - North America
2005-09-09, Canada, Toronto, Air Canada Center, Shelter From The Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast
One
Comments:
Mary J. Blige provides guest vocals as U2 performs for the 'Shelter from the Storm' televised concert to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The performance is taped earlier today in an empty Air Canada Centre. The Vertigo Tour stage is lit in red, though there's no light show - the focus is on the heartfelt performance.

Comments:
U2 tape a performance for the MTV/VH-1 'React Now' charity concert to raise money for Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. The performance is taped after their duet with Mary J. Blige for a separate charity concert, and will air a day later. The band play again inside an empty arena, though this performance includes the full Vertigo lighting production. Bono changes lyrics, singing 'All you K-Marters / All you Americans' in place of the 'daughters of Zion / Abraham sons' couplet. Bono also sports a new headband - it says HELP on it, rather than the COEXIST logo.

Comments:
Vertigo's 3rd leg formally opens in Toronto, where U2 has already done two performances for Hurricane Katrina relief. Bono makes several references to the Gulf Coast during the show. Before 'One' he compares the devastation there to the images of extreme poverty in Africa. He adds a bit of 'Ol Man River after One - it's a 75+ year old song from the musical 'Show Boat' which addresses the struggles of life along the Mississippi River. Fast Cars is played live for the first time ever and In a Little While is played for the first time since the Elevation Tour. '40' isn't on the printed setlist, but closes the almost 2.5-hour show. Daniel Lanois and Leonard Cohen are among the celebrities at the show.

The song goes off in an entirely different direction when Bono brings a bellydancer on stage, though he admits to the crowd it's the 'wrong song.' Bono also sings a couple lines from 40 at the end of the show.

After Fast Cars, Bono calls BB King at home to wish him a happy 80th birthday and leads the crowd in singing Happy Birthday. After Yahweh, Bono sees a sign: 'Our Band + A Song with U2 = Happy Crowd.' He invites the local band on stage and they take over U2's instruments for the first half of Out of Control. U2 come back to reclaim their gear and finish the song. Director Lian Lunson (of the L. Cohen documentary 'I'm Your Man') is on stage with a film crew, taping All Because of You and Fast Cars.

Bono finally finds the lyrics after flipping thru a stack of pages brought out by a crew member, cracks a joke about the situation, and the song ends. There's no Pop Muzik intro before Discotheque. He sings the line 'Daddy's Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car' at the end of The Fly. Bono and Edge do The First Time - the first time the song has ever been played in full. Bono tells the crowd that a fan outside had asked to hear something from Zooropa tonight.

Edge and Adam scramble to return to guitar and bass, respectively, and the show instead ends with a 2nd version of Vertigo.

He sings a couple lines from 'In a Little While' at the end of Still Haven't Found. He praises the recent IRA disarmament agreement and holds an Irish flag during Sunday Bloody Sunday. Bono and Edge fumble through Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, stopping and restarting to get it right. 40 is dedicated to bass tech Stuart Morgan, who is not at the show after the recent death of his mother.

Bono has some difficulties with his voice during Pride after a strong performance of Miss Sarajevo. John Kerry is mentioned as being present in the crowd as is Tom Brady. For Yahweh Bono appears dressed in a Red Sox jersey, and leaves it on the microphone stand as he leaves the stage at the end. At the end of 40 Larry puts on the jersey before leaving. Before the 2nd encore, U2 tape a short acceptance speech for the upcoming Q Awards.

Speaking of phones, Bono spots and yells at a fan who's talking on a cell phone during the show. He later apologizes for the outburst. Mary J. Blige joins the band to sing 'One,' just as she did last month in Toronto at the Hurricane Katrina relief telethon.

Comments:
A lengthy show (24 songs) wraps up U2's week-long residency at Madison Square Garden. Gloria and Party Girl are played for the first time on this leg of the tour. The luck of the Irish strikes Alli, the fan brought on stage during Fast Cars. It's her second time dancing with Bono this tour (first: April 9, 2005) and third time overall. The planned setlist shows 'Walk On' and '40' as the final two songs, but last-minute changes lead to the Party Girl/Vertigo ending. Bono struggles with the lyrics of Party Girl, but all's forgiven when he turns the fun up a notch with an open bottle of champagne being sprayed over the fans up front.

He brings a young boy on stage during Bullet the Blue Sky and they walk together around the ellipse. Out at the tip, Bono asks the boy, Owen, to remove the COEXIST headband from Bono's head. Later in the show, Bono also tosses his sunglasses to Owen.

During the encore, Bono announces that they want to play 'People Get Ready', but says they need an extra guitar player. The crowd erupts when Bruce Springsteen strolls on stage to reprise a collaboration that first happened in September, 1987, at Philly's now-demolished JFK Stadium. Bono calls Bruce's wife, Patti Scialfa, on stage to help with vocals. They play an extended version of the song with mostly made-up lyrics, eventually leaving only Bruce (playing Bono's Irish Falcon guitar) and Larry on stage to close out the first encore. The planned setlist has the show ending with Original of the Species and Bad, but the band plays All Because of You and 40 instead.

After meeting with Democratic leaders yesterday and President Bush today, Bono's speech before One is lengthier than normal tonight. He thanks the DATA and ONE Campaign staff, and talks at length about AIDS, debt relief, and rebuilding Africa. (Larry put down his drumsticks to time Bono's speech and 'One,' and Bono later joked that Larry had clocked the intro and song at 15 minutes.)

At the end of the show, Larry approaches the mic and thanks the crowd for coming to his party, and thanks Bono, Edge, and Adam for being in his band.

During Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bono takes a red/white 'Coexist' flag from a fan and drapes it over Larry's bass drum. Bono gets 'lost' while kneeling blindfolded during Bullet, and crew member AJ Rankin comes on stage to guide him to the mic stand. A fan dressed as Elvis dances at the tip of the ellipse while Bono sings 'Can't Help Falling in Love' on the main stage after One. Edge breaks a string during Wild Horses, and much of the song is played with no guitar.

Though it's their 4th show in 5 nights, U2 turns up the energy tonight with an acoustic-free setlist. Mysterious Ways is played for the first time since Dublin in June and includes a bellydancer pulled from the crowd. Until the End of the World is played for the first time since Brussels, June 10. 'Sometimes' is dedicated to Vegas resort owner Steve Wynn. Mary J Blige joins U2 for One, her third guest appearance on that song this fall. Bono brings tour manager Dennis Sheehan on stage between encores to wish him happy birthday with cake and a crowd sing-a-long. Brandon Flowers (The Killers) joins the band for In a Little While.

Comments:
Bono and Edge add a verse and chorus from 'One Tree Hill' to the end of One. The full song hasn't been played since January, 1990, in New Zealand. And tonight's snippet is played as rumors swirl that the band is about to announce a tour of New Zealand and Australia early next year. The planned setlist shows 'Bad' as the final song, but U2 plays 40 instead. Celebrities at the show include Sean Penn and Robin Williams.

A loud crowd greets U2 as they play in Florida for the first time since 2001. Still Haven't Found is dedicated to Section 105, which includes a big group of Dutch fans who traveled to see tonight's show. During Sometimes..., Bono mentions his dad's birthday. Bob Hewson would have turned 80 today. While blindfolded, Bono needs help from crew member AJ Rankin to guide him to the mic during Bullet. Bono wears a fan's cowboy hat during Wild Horses, which is dedicated to 'Patti, the punk rocker.' A young boy is brought on stage during Sunday Bloody Sunday; a female fan dances with Bono during With or Without You. Bono leads the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to a member of the band's crew.

Comments:
Bono and Edge shoot a playful video with fans outside the arena in the afternoon, which includes Bono interviewing fans about The Edge. As the show starts, Bono takes the stage with a handicam and focuses on Edge for the first half of Blinding Lights. During Elevation, Bono takes a Chilean (we think) flag and says 'Coming soon to a stadium near you!' Terry Lawless is on stage for Original of the Species, U2's new U.S. single. It replaces Miracle Drug, which isn't played for the first time this year. The arena sings most of the songs louder than Bono, and security struggle for much of the show to control the crush outside the ellipse.

Bono brings a young girl on stage and has her sit near Larry's drum kit for Original of the Species. He brings a young boy, Joey, on stage during Yahweh and the boy stays on stage through 40. As the song is ending, Bono gets Joey to help shine a spotlight around the arena. As Bono leaves, Joey takes the spotlight and shines it on Bono, then also shines it on each band member, one at a time, before returning to the crowd.

Happy Birthday is sung for a member of U2's crew. Bono brings two young boys on stage to help shine the spotlight during 40. Near the end of the show, Bono thanks Richard Wright of Pink Floyd for their Live 8 performance; Wright is at the show. Also reportedly at the show are the members of R.E.M. Before All Because of You, Bono shares a dedication to Daniel Lanois which is taped for airing at an upcoming Canadian music awards ceremony where Lanois is being honored.

MLK is dedicated to John F. Kennedy, who died 42 years ago to the day. Bono brings a young girl on stage during Mysterious Ways and gives her a piggy-back ride. Stuck In a Moment is dedicated to Michael Hutchence on the 8th anniversary of his death. Patti Smith joins the band for Instant Karma again tonight, but the concert comes to an abrupt end at the end of the song. Bono leads Smith off-stage, Edge follows while still playing the song, then Adam leaves. They come back out and sing another chorus before everyone leaves again. The lights come on and the show is over, even though two more songs are on the printed setlist. Some fans at the show say Smith looked like she was feeling ill on stage.

Arcade Fire takes the stage with 'Where the Streets Have No Name' on the PA, a tip to U2 taking the stage to their song, 'Wake Up.' The Montreal crowd, which is well-known for being LOUD, doesn't disappoint tonight. A local radio station has given out 5,000 multi-colored flashing light sticks, and the audience holds them up during 'Sometimes.' Clearly moved by the sight, Bono changes a lyric during the song to describe what he sees. A stunning version of Bad ends the show with Daniel Lanois joining U2 on stage. During the song, they sing bits of Lanois' song 'The Maker' and a bit of U2's '40', before picking 'Bad' back up and closing out the show.

Bono sings bits of 'Sgt. Pepper's' and 'Here Comes the Sun' during Beautiful Day, changing the lyrics ('there goes the sun') to reflect the cold, snowy weather outside. Bono thanks Ashley Judd, who's at the show, for her work with the ONE Campaign. During One, Bono brings about a dozen fans on stage with different national flags tied together and they stand behind Larry holding the flags up as a backdrop. U2 comes out for an unplanned 3rd encore, playing All Because of You and Fast Cars to a shocked crowd made up of fans that haven't already left. Many fans, including some getting in the GA line for tomorrow's show, miss the end of the show.

It's a Christmas-themed show tonight, the last one of the year in Boston. Bono says his Christmas list includes 5 million people for the Make Poverty History Campaign, a fire engine, more time with his kids, and that Edge wants a train set. During Beautiful Day, Bono sings 'See Santa Claus right in front of you' to a Santa in the ellipse and adds a bit of 'Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)' and 'Jingle Bells.' Fans in the arena make a display of white One Campaign signs during One. Fans dressed as Santa and Elvis dance on stage during Mysterious Ways, and Bono wishes them a merry Christmas.

The show goes on, and Bono again includes several reference to John Lennon on the day after the 25th anniversary of his death. He mentions that U2 were playing in Buffalo the night of Lennon's murder.

Kanye West joins the tour for the first of his opening night slots, and Bono does a surprise introduction before West takes the stage. West admits to being nervous about opening for U2. During U2's set, Bono also adds a bit of West's hit 'Jesus Walks' during Beautiful Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday. But many in the crowd boo later in the show when Bono thanks West for opening tonight's show. U2 calls a fan on stage to play piano during Yahweh. The fan struggles a bit with the end of the song, but gets some vocal direction from Bono and hands-on help from Edge and brings it to a nice close.

For the final show of the year, fans greet the band with a display of red glowsticks as the show starts, and displays of THANK YOU signs during Elevation and One. Bono is surprised by the gesture -- before Elevation he says 'No, thank you!' and then asks Edge and Adam how to say 'thank you' in Gaelic. During several songs, Bono thanks members of the crew by name. He sprays champagne on the crowd at one point, and mentions 'going home' many times. In between the 1st and 2nd encores, the entire crew stands around the ellipse, wearing single-letter t-shirts that spell out THE U2 CREW WOULD LIKE TO THANK EDGE BONO LARRY AND ADAM FOR A GREAT 2005.
