Vertigo

This was on the day, when the bombs exploded in busses and tubes in London, some hours before the gig started. I still remember the moment,when the guys entered the stage. They stood right in front of us (we made it into the mosh pit) and for a minute or two, they did nothing but to hold hands. When the show started, they seemed to be very affected. The seventh song, I remember it like it was yesterday, was All I Want Is You, and the song ended up with Bono standing on the ring trough the audience, screaming severeal times "All I want is you", then alternating it with the audience. He must done it 10 times or more, I think. From that moment on, the show started through. Some songs later, Bono put on his bandana whilest playing Love And Peace, getting into Sunday Bloody Sunday. I believe, this was nothing less for him, then his remarkable perfomance after the Enniskillen-Bombing, that is shown on theRattle An Hom Video. This and All I Want Is You where the most impressing and memorable moments of this show, sending me showers every time I remember it....Maybe one of the greatest but also shocking concert-moments for me. Supporters where Snow Patrol, who did a great gig. Also a memorable gig, I saw them for the first time then and several further times. Gary's (the singer) guita cable broke apart during the show and it took some minutes, until he got a new cable. During this pause Paul (bass) did a line of "Another One Bites The Dust" and the whole stadium began singing and clapping to it, and the whole band joined us for a minute. Later, I met Gary after another show and talked to him about this moment. I said, for me, it was great, with lots of fun, he said, it was the badest ever in his live ;-)

The Germans were great; it was a pitty that the video walls were defect during the first songs, but we came for soms rock & roll and that what we got!

This show in Berlin was on July 7th! I´m sure, because I was there and I loved every minute of it!!
