corianderstem is the greatest person in my book! She has all sorts of bootlegs on her computer of U2 shows. She took requests of uploads yesterday. I asked her for Vertigo
NJ1 and
NJ2, because those were the shows I went to, but I didn't expect her to actually have them. I hadn't heard of them appearing online.
Well, I was wrong on both accounts! She had *both* shows on mp3, so now *I* have both shows on mp3! And NJ2 is *awesome* quality; it almost sounds like it was taken from the mixing board. Unfortunately, whoever bootlegged NJ1 was near/with a total asshole who kept bitching when Bono was talking for him to shut-up (you *know* if I had been near him I would have bitched *him* out hardcore for being a prick). Fortunately, he wasn't talking over songs they only did the first night. Besides, I think NJ2 was a better show anyway (but not by much!)
Dude, the U2 love + the Jersey Pride = me daaaaancing!
ETA: Just heard Bono say, "Elvis Costello in the house!" I was so busy screaming and applauding that I didn't hear him say that at the show. :D
