"October" tour - november 25, 1981 - U2 perform in Asbury Park, New Jersey at the Hitsville South Nightclub. During Edge´s solo in Electric Co. Bono assaults the piano, playing a few tunes made up on the spot. He lets himself fall into the crowd and floats backwards on the sea of outstretched hands before he is pushed back on stage. During Out Of Control he again plays the piano. The second performance of I Will Follow is an added bonus for the over-excited crowd.

"LoveTown" tour - november 25, 1989 - U2 perform in Tokyo, Japan at the Tokyo Dome. This is the closest U2 come to playing China, where millions of students had gathered in Tiannamen Square to protest their Communist government. At the start of "Love Rescue Me" on the first night, Bono announces, "Rock & Roll cannot change things, people change things. But rock & roll belongs to the people. People will make the changes. We play this song for East Berlin, for Czechoslovakia, for the people behind the Iron Curtain, who brought about change with no violence. Our music belongs to those people. We dedicate this next song to the people of China, to the brave ones who filled a square in Beijing..."

"Elevation" tour - november 25, 2001 - Dallas, TX - Reunion Arena. A higlight song of the night was "Bullet the Blue Sky" because Edge's guitar malfunctioned, and Bono improvised some lyrics so that Edge could fix the problem and then belt out the most angry, gut-wrenching solo I've ever heard from him. Wonder!

U2 is 2nd and Stones 1st - November 25, 2006 - Though they'll surely live to fight another day, U2's brief stint holding the title of top-grossing tour ever is over. That distinction now returns to the Rolling Stones, whose A Bigger Bang tour is now the top-grossing tour in history. From March 28, 2005, to March 2, 2006, U2's Vertigo tour rang up grosses of more than $333 million. That put U2 ahead of the Stones' $320 million Voodoo Lounge tour of 1994-95, and the band's 10 stadium makeup shows this month will take the total to 121 shows and a gross of about $377 million. But the Stones' numbers from their global A Bigger Bang tour shatter that mark. Since the fall of 2005, the band has grossed a staggering $437 million and drawn 3.5 million people to 110 shows. In addition, an estimated crowd of 2 million saw the band perform at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro back in February. The tour, like every Stones trek since 1989, is produced by Michael Cohl under the Concert Productions International banner, with Live Nation. ... On billboard
