UPDATE - NOVEMBER 14 - WBCN radio in Boston / Bono apologizes to Vaillancour / the 100th ZOOTV´s show / "Goldeneye" / "Sunday Bloody Sunday" in Miami / Bono speaks to Canadian Liberals / 92nd 'VERTIGO' show: 'A Day In The Life Of Edge'-Edge and Bono´s interview with fans-Bono films Edge on a part of COBL-Chile´s concert?-NO 'Miracle Drug'-Terry Lawless joins U2 for 'Original Of The Species'  ! !

"Boy" tour - november 14, 1980 - U2 perform in Kidderminster, England at the Town Hall.

"October" tour - november 14, 1981 - U2 perform in Boston, Massachusetts at the Orpheum Theater. The show is broadcast live on WBCN radio in the Boston area. When the band leave for the dressing room after Out Of Control, the DJ addresses the radio listeners. 'Pandemonium at the Orpheum Theater tonight, the crowd´s going crazy . U2 are leaving the stage but you know they´ll be back. This is absolutely incredible, the responses here...Well, U2 consider Boston their home away from home, really. The place is going nuts! The crowd is on their feet, and I hope you´re diggin´ it at home. Listen to the clapping hands, people who appreciate good music...that´s Boston, Massachustts for ya. They´re coming back onstage! I see The Edge...'

"The Unforgettable Fire" tour - november 14, 1984. U2 perform in London, England at Wembley Arena. U2 play two crowds of 20,000 people each.

"The Joshua Tree" tour november 14, 1987 - U2 perform in Oakland, California at Oakland Stadium. In two shows, U2 will perform in front of 119,000 fans. On the first night, Bono addresses the crowd about his little spray-painting escapade on November 11, 1987. "As you know i've been getting into a little bit of trouble here in San Francisco. A policeman called me up in my hotel room--he said he was collecting evidence concerning an 'act of violence' down at Vallancourt Fountain. They said, 'Mr. Hewson, we take this thing very seriously in this city.' I said, 'I take it very seriously too, but have you picked up a rock & roll band.' I mean, this is U2. We're the Batman and Robin of rock & roll for God's sake. Anyway, I think it should be explained that there's a difference because Armand Vaillancourt, himself, spraypainted his own scuplture, a few year's ago, when he opened it." Bono is clearly worried about the situation, and wants to prove he didn't do anything malicious. He introduces the aritist in question, Armand Vaillancourt, who walks out on stage and says that he is glad to be at the show, and that he regrets the grafitti has been washed off of his work. Bono apologizes to Vaillancourt, and hands him a can of spraypaint, with which Vaillancourt spraypaints "STOP THE MADNESS!" on U2's stage.

"ZOOTV - Outside Broadcast" tour november 14, 1992 - U2 perform the final(and 100th!) show of the ZooTV Outside Broadcast Tour in Anaheim, California at Anaheim Stadium. The show is added at the last minute when the tour organizers get together and realize they could sell out another show in the Southern California area. During the show, the upper part of the stadium shakes violently. At future concerts city officials respond by posting signs asking fans to not dance during shows. Larry dedicates "Dirty Old Town" to the "people [who] aren't going to make it; truck drivers, bus drivers, caterers...I want to sing this for their heavy duty work...hard to believe this is the last time I'm going to sing this in the US...I know how disappointed you'll all be..." Bono takes a few minutes to thank the crew for their hard work as the names of the various cities the band has played pass by on the vidi-screens. "...thanks to Paul McGuinness for helping to keep it together all these years, and Ellen Darst, his right-hand lady. Most of our organisation is run by women. A sort of work for them, really! We love them all. it's just too many names to mention..." Bono makes his last phone call of the Outside Broadcast and to George Bush, "That's 1-202-456-1414," he reminds the audience. "Hi, can I speak to George Bush please? What? George isn't available? But it's our last night! Can I leave a message for George? I just want to say that I won't be bothering him anymore from now on....I'm going to be bothering Bill Clinton now..." Support is B.P. Fallon, "The Sugarcubes", and "Public Enemy". The 42 Outside Broadcast dates are attended by 1,847,971 fans, an average of more than 43,000 a night. Only 79,329 tickets remain unsold. The tour grosses $53,913,608US.

"Goldeneye" - november 14, 1995 - Tina Turner releases "Goldeneye" - the theme to the new 007 movie of the same name - written by Bono and The Edge on Capitol records. Edge performs on the record.

"POPMart" tour - november 14, 1997. U2 perform in Miami, Florida. A sentimental rendering of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' by The Edge, who stood alone under a spotlight, singing, and playing guitar. The Edge's cowboy hat was a suitable affection; he wrangled a range of guitar sounds effectively, whether blowing out blues-rock noise on Discotheque or streaming ambient chords through If You Wear That Velvet Dress.

"Bono speaks to Canadian Liberals" - november 14, 2003 - Bono speaks tonight at the Liberal convention in Toronto for incoming Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin. He begins his 25-minute speech by telling the gathered crowd "I'm not a supporter of any political party." And the focus of his speech is not on one party or another, but on the need to relieve Third World debt and raise money to fight the AIDS crisis in Africa. To the incoming PM, Bono promises "I'm going to become the biggest pain of his life! Paul Martin thinks he likes me. He doesn't know what he signed on for -- more lobbying about debt, begging for letters, petitions for unfair trade, phone calls about money for the global health fund."

92nd 'VERTIGO' show - November 14, 2005 / Miami, FL - American Airlines Arena - Institute. 'A Day In The Life Of Edge' / Edge and Bono´s interview with fans / Bono films Edge on a part of COBL / Chile´s concert? / NO 'Miracle Drug' / Terry Lawless joins U2 for 'Original Of The Species'! City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Elevation, I Will Follow, The Electric Co., I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Beautiful Day - Blackbird, Original of the Species, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday - Rock the Casbah, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name, One - Ol' Man River. Encore(s): Until the End of the World, The Fly, With or Without You, All Because Of You, Walk On, Bad. Bono and Edge shoot a playful video with fans outside the arena in the afternoon, which includes Bono interviewing fans about The Edge. As the show starts, Bono takes the stage with a handicam and focuses on Edge for the first half of Blinding Lights. During Elevation, Bono takes a Chilean (we think) flag and says 'Coming soon to a stadium near you!' Terry Lawless is on stage for Original of the Species, U2's new U.S. single. It replaces Miracle Drug, which isn't played for the first time this year. The arena sings most of the songs louder than Bono, and security struggle for much of the show to control the crush outside the ellipse.
**** A Day in The Life of Edge: Edge and Bono were caught on camera in Miami yesterday afternoon and evening. Guitarist and singer were spotted on South Beach Miami singing In A Little While at a life guard tower. Crowds gathered and fans were delighted to be part of the filming of A Day In The Life of Edge. Filming continued outside the American Airlines Arena before the show last night where Edge led the crowd in a rousing version of 'Streets' and then, using a megaphone, a repeated chant of 'Bono, Bono, Bono'. To add to the excitement and intrigue, City of Blinding Lights opened with Bono and the camera filming the very loud Miami audience. Whats it all about? Watch this space.
