Remarks:
For the second straight show, ‘Miracle Drug’ is dedicated to a local girl named Jennifer whom Bono says is ill. Bono brings a young boy named Jason on stage during ‘Sometimes.’ They’re arm-in-arm as Bono sings the song to Jason, who is also mouthing the words. It’s an incredibly emotional moment, and tears stream down Bono’s face as he sings the song as if singing to his own son. Bono sings ‘Mysterious Ways’ to ‘sexy Adam’, and the two do a brief duel at the tip of the ellipse. Reminiscent of U2’s earliest shows, ‘Vertigo’ is played a second time to close the show (it had been done twice at some appearances on the How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb Promotional Tour).
