U2 Live Vertigo CD

VERTIGO ’05: THE LIVE CD

First there was ‘Melon’ in 1994 and then ‘Hasta La Vista Baby’ in 2000. Now U2 fan club members have another one-off, limited edition release which is not – and never will be – available in the shops.
‘U2.Communication’ is a double CD release which – like it’s cult predecessors – is only available for the U2 fan club and will be discontinued when stocks run out. You can only get it when you subscribe to U2.Com.
The band put the live collection together a few months back to capture the excitement of Vertigo ’05 as it travelled across North America and Europe.
Not got a copy yet? We figured you might like to hear a few clips – and watch some video.

‘U2.Communication’ is more than a live record of two U2 shows from the Vertigo Tour: it also features a collection of screensavers from the tour (including the ‘Declaration of Human Rights’, the ‘heart’ and the ‘dove’ ) and a series of computer wallpapers based on the artbook the band created to go with ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’.
The CD-Rom in ‘U2.Communication’ also contains an interactive audio player so that you can come up with your own playlist of the live tracks.
