Next Up - Mexico!

26 Apr 201184

Thirteen years ago Mexico City was the scene of a legendary live show by U2.

PopMart was the tour, and that 'sci-fi disco supermarket' was caught for ever in the DVD PopMart (Live From Mexico City).

One of the stand-out tracks on the 1997 tour was Even Better Than The Real Thing, recently reimagined to open U2 360° in South America.

Here's what Even Better Than The Real Thing was like on PopMart.

I went to the 2nd. concert from Vertigo 2006 in the Azteca Stadium.I think people knew all the songs and lsang even louder than in 1997 and 1992 .Every time the band comes it gets better. Hopefully they would play UV and No Line on May 14th., although Bad is also one of my all time favorites.
