For the first time ever, U2 performed “The First Time” for a Chicago audience last night at the first of their two-night jaunt in the Windy City. The song came as a request from a fan who asked Bono earlier in the day to perform something from Zooropa. The performance was just one of several special treats Chicago fans received — among them, an acoustic performance of “Walk On” (a first for the Vertigo tour) in which Bono failed to remember the lyrics and had to request them on paper; a slick version of “Discotheque,” improved over the Vertigo tour debut in Toronto; and a snippet of another Zooropa song, “Daddy’s Gonna Pay for Your Crashed Car,” at the end of “The Fly.”
Lyrics, please!

I just have to say that seeing/hearing The First Time played is a dream come true.

That’s just beautiful, that is.

I thought I was hallucinating when they started performing “The First Time.” The performance of that one song puts the Chicago show on my list of top 5 U2 concerts ever.

And then into Bad… let it run.. pLease!

be-a-autiful…
and I thought night 3 in Amsterdam was awesome.
That’s gotta be one of the most amazing things about the band: just place your request, and there’s a good chance they actually might play it (see ’40’ in Amsterdam).
as Pink Floyd said it (kind of): Wish I was there…

so beautiful….my thoughts are now running wild imagining what other songs they might have up their sleeves. the singer’s knowledge of the lyrics certainly is not a pre-requisite.

I think if I’d actually heard the first bars of ‘Bad’ I would’ve cried. First Time is one of those hidden gems.

That video just made me realize I really have to go to more than one show when they head out west. For “the first time” I think I will be buying 3 more shows for a total of 4. Bono’s voice sounded so beautiful – U2 is just getting better and better . Adding all of these fabulous songs makes me want to hear more and more. I wish I could spend one week in New York hearing every show. Those lucky people in New York………

Awwww… ama-ZING!! Not the first time I wish I was following the tour… 🙁
Have to say that “First” sounds as tho it’s related to that track off the “Million $ Hotel” (can’t remember name off top of my head). They sound so alike… I could float away…. 🙂
*oops, I just did*
