| 1. Edge was wearing his red No. 2 shirt.
2. The opening act was JJ72
3. Helena Christensen was there for the second time in two nights but
the girl on the singers mind was Eve, his daughter, who is also there for
her birthday. Dad sends best wishes.
4. Introducing Kite, Bono says: 'You know you Danish people have a very
big influence on our national tongue - just like you to know that.' At which
point he slips into the local tongue for a moment.' It's very warm and they
are cool, let's face it, it's a pretty obscure language, do you speak Irish?
That's a very obscure language. Larry speaks good Irish. Larry Mullen Jnr's
father, Larry Mullen Snr, is with us in the house tonight and young whippersnappers
JJ72 were in the house with us tonight, they were extraordinary! anything
else?' 'God is in the house,' someone shouts. 'Amen.. he'd better be,' says
the singer. 'This is a song about, I'm not going to tell you. It's called
Kite.'
5. Another characteristically sweltering Scandinavian night and for the
first time on the tour to date Adam takes his shirt off - during Mysterious
Ways and Fly.
6. Charlton Heston has been taken out and a new film has replaced him,
which introduces Bullet the Blue Sky. Text as follows: 'The five permanent

'The five biggest arms traders in the world are: USA, UK, France, China
and Russia.'
7. 'Ring those bells Edge, let's make those bells ring,' commands Bono
as I Will Follow is introduced. 'We wrote a love song on two strings, twenty
years ago we came walking down these streets, twenty years ago Copenhagen,
same melody, same beats; rings those bells Edge; they shine like mercury
and gold; ring those bells Edge, those bells never gonna grow old, those
bells never gonna grow old; my spirit will never grow old'
8. Stuck In A Moment is dedicated to 'the Christensens.'
9. Bono and Edge perform Stay together, at the point of the heart. 'This
is a song that we started in Berlin at the start of the 90's, in a studio
called Hansa. A lot of folks figured that this was the period when U2 went
all arty on you, we didn't see it that way cos when you're out there, floating
out there, you find all sorts of interesting shit like this beautiful song.'
The song closes with 'Miami, New Orleans, Copenhagen, Paris, France'
10. The Fly begins with a birthday girl. 'You walk into a sports hall,
the lights go down and you see a little girl and she's your girl and it's
her birthday today in Copenhagen, her name is Eve and she's into two digits,
she's ten, oh my lord, what a win, I'm gonna love this girl. 'And ends with
a drenching, as someone throws water at Bono and suddenly it is coming from
all directions and the singer stands on the catwalk trying to throw his
arms around the audience while getting completely soaked. One fan manages
to get up on the catwalk. Bono hugs him. As if to say, Thank you Copenhagen.
