london



above pics are from night 1 of u2 at wembley stadium. more here: ineedmyfix.com

last night u2 played night 2 in london. this video jumps out at me:



bono is singing the song in a bizarre tempo for the first few minutes. when he did that in dublin i was thinking it was a screw up. like how he has decided on this tour to change the way in a little while ends and end it with a second scatter of light verse. or how he refuses to sing certain verses of ultraviolet (i guess it's the price of love... is now, "i guess that's the something something something something something it ain't cheap.") the first time you hear it you are dumb enough to think it is a slip up and then you realize he is doing it on purpose.

also, this image of bono's note to the sun that u2log posted is funny (click to enlarge):

Bono's message to The Sun on Twitpic

and finally, here are some cute pics from on the way out of the u2 after party in london last night.

peace

I keep wondering if they're dropping teasers for the next album. Not only the 'Kingdom' intro but that Beautiful Day intro, plus new lyrics being inserted into songs like Bad.
