After fifty shows played over more than three months, the third leg of the Vertigo Tour concluded today in Portland. Instant Karma! returned to the setlist after missing two shows, and surprisingly enough, it was positioned after One and closed the main set. During the encores, Happy Birthday was sung, though we currently are unsure for whom. The final song of the third leg was 40, and now U2 will take a well-earned break before commencing the fourth leg on the 12th of February 2006 in Monterrey, Mexico. During the break, stay tuned to U2gigs.com not just for tour news, but also for some upcoming special announcements and features!
