Vertigo - South America/Australia/New Zealand

post under construction....

Tour Legs: This program covers the 4th and part of the 5th leg of the Vertigo world tour. The 4th leg saw U2 travel to Latin America to play 8 concerts. This program also covered the first part of the 5th leg (the Pacific), taking in concerts in Australia and New Zealand (7 & 2 respectively). The dual purpose of this program covering 2 different legs of the tour is that the second part of the 5th leg was in Japan and U2 have traditionally produced a separate tour program for the Japanese concerts, even though they may only play a small handful of concerts when they go there. More on that on the Leg 5 program post.

Originally, the Pacific concerts were to occur in the weeks following the Latin America concerts, but due a serious illness to The Edge's daughter, the last 2 concerts of the Latin America leg were canceled and the whole of the Pacific leg postponed until November and December of the same year.

So originally the idea of a tour program crossing more than one tour leg worked, but in the end the 2 legs were some 7 months apart.

But to clarify the dates that this program was available at, the Latin America leg started on 12 Feb 2006 and ran through Mexico, Brazil, Chile before finishing in Argentina on 2 Mar 2006. The Pacific leg (Australia & NZ parts), started in Australia on 7 Nov 2006 and ended on 25 Nov 2006 in New Zealand.
