Here it is folks... the thread you've been waiting for. All the questions/videos that have been posted a MILLION times. Hopefully putting them all in the same place will save us from at least a few of these thread re-posts.

--The song played before U2 took the stage for Vertigo Tour shows is Wake Up, by the Arcade Fire. It is from their album Funeral. Here is a link to a video of Arcade Fire playing the song live with David Bowie.

A voice from near the front of the audience pierces the silence..."Fookin stop doing it then!"

we have all heard this joke before

There's this song called Mercy and a whole bunch of people think it's a great song and should be officially released, others think it's highly overrated by this fan site, and most of everyone has an opinion on how it should be released, whether it should be released, if it should be re-done if it is released, whether it should be released if it is the original or if it is re-done, and, after each new material U2 releases, whether this will have any effect on the possible release of Mercy.

On the Vertigo tour:

U2 filmed their Chicago shows from the first leg and released them DVD in November 2005.
They filmed their second Dublin show but that is only for archival footage.
They filmed their two nights in Milan and released 10 songs from that concert with their greatest hits Album U218 Singles. (whether or not they will release more footage from this concert is unknown)
They filmed all of their 4th leg shows and plan to release a HD3D
movie, details about this are unknown.
They also filmed a show in Melbourne, reasons for filming this show are unknown
