U2 at St. Louis - Part 2 (Vertigo Tour 2005)

The show began with The Arcade Fire's Wake Up being played at full volume and then being disrupted by a Zoo TV-like audio clip, repeating the word "everything, everything." Soon you hear some guitar drones by the edge and he is on the left hand side of the stage being back-lit by a single strobe. The drones soon turn into the intro to the City of Blinding Lights and the show is on the way.

[I took some pictures throughout the show. Some of the pictures, I am using effects to create visually what you are hearing and some pictures I took without any effects to get a clearer shot.]

Here is the setlist:

Main Set: City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo - She Loves You, Elevation, Gloria, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - In a Little While, Beautiful Day - Many Rivers to Cross, Original of the Species, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday - Rock the Casbah, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name, One

Encore (s): Until the End of the World, Mysterious Ways, With or Without You, Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Instant Karma, Yahweh, 40

Actually the show opened with "Everyone, Everyone!"

Actually, I think it opened with the combo of everyone and everthing. I have a video of the opening. But who really cares?

Vernal also knows that I'd be making fun of her if she got our the glue gun and the cutesy scissors and the letters that spell "first birthday" or "the promotion." Etc, etc.
