I had the bootleg as a download but lost it in a computer crash. Could also use a copy. I have a few other Toronto shows on CD and tape (yes tape).
We saw the show from the front row of the second level beside the stage on Mike's side. All four members of U2 watched the show from that side of the stage. We also saw U2 a couple of days before and Eddie came up for a song.
I was at this show as well as the U2 show a day or two before. Eddie went on stage with them during their show as well. That was a great weekend of music for me that I will never forget. The Air Canada Centre was electric all weekend long !
Just listening to this show (on Pearl Jam Radio, fantastic!) and noticed that the setlist misses an intro tag on Elderly Woman. Song opens with Eddie singing the beginning verse of U2's "A Sort of Homecoming" to a single guitar accompaniment (his?). Nice surprise, my favorite U2 song.
Had great seats in the 2nd row (thank you Ten Club!) and had taken a baggie full of old Who pins. I always see Eddie wearing pins on his jean jackets so I thought he'd enjoy them. Right after Rocking in the Free World (with Bono onstage too!) all the house lights were up so I took my chance and threw the baggie to Eddie. He caught it perfectly, looked down at it and got a BIG smile on his face. He then started gesturing, asking where they came from, and everyone pointed to me. So he picked up a tambourine he'd been playing (and I swear that Bono had played too!), and pointed to me and threw it. I caught it perfectly... such a thrill! And a year or so later my nephew happened to find it on youtube. Here's the link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cln4Wj7Y3lE - look closely because it happens right at the beginning. I still get a HUGE smile on my face anytime I watch it!
I was at this show and only have 1/2 of it downloaded. I want to get the remainder. I anyone knows where to get access the download, please email me at chip.cantrell@gmail.com. Thanks!
Not the best show i have seen, but still great. The guys were all hungover from drinking with U2 the night before. Bono showing up onstage was a highlight for sure.

Anyone know where I can get a copy of this show? I was there but never got the bootleg. Trying to find copies of all the shows I've ever been to.
Hope someone out there can help a brother out!
Cheers,

U2 blows. I remember getting a beer when Bono came up. What a chump.
