This show had great significance in the history of U2. It marked the beginning of the 3rd phase of the band. The first ended with Rattle and Hum, the second with Pop, which, according to "the critics" was a metaphor for a loud sound made by a dying band. This night at Irving Plaza, U2 made it known that they "won't be fooled again". Their next 2tours and albums (ATYCLB and HTDAAB), were the 1-2 punch that knocked the critics on their rear ends and had the world singing their songs again.........
U2 is really awesome! I don't think there are many bands that can cover songs as good as they can. They took a great Who song and made it their own. That takes talent!
U2's first re-invention or "second phase" started at the release of "Aghtung Baby" in 1991. This marked a complete re-invention of their "U2 sound" that fans had become accustomed to during their first decade. Their second phase continued with the release of the "Zooropa" album and finally "Pop".
This just shows you what a great RnR band they really are! - i was a big big U2 fan bk in the 80's - not anymore - things have changed but when i hear this - wow!! - U2 if ya is listening - god bless ya all! - get bk to me i have a really great little pub venue in da midlands - any chance u wanna warm up gig???

Drumming, guitar, bass, vocal: all just perfect, excellent, gorgeous.
This show was a couple of months before the start of the "Elevation" tour in 2001. It was broadcast on the radio live as well. Great energy!
Real Music feel it !!
I wish they'd revive 11 O'Clock Tick Tock. Fantastic, emotional song.
This is why they are still on top of the game. Keep rocking U2 U2 U2.
