    Comments: A new video debuts before Beautiful Day. It features astronaut Mark Kelly (Gabby Giffords husband, while he was still on board the Space Shuttle) holding up a series of word parts that leads into the song, and then saying 'tell my wife I love her … she knows.' Kelly then reappears again later in the song on the video screen, and recites the bridge lyrics ('See the world in green and blue,' etc.) Members of Pearl Jam, R.E.M and Heart are at the show. Also at the show is one of Aung San Suu Kyi's sons.

    A show of this size in a football stadium looks like it would be hell and I'm sure it sounds worse.

    Be curious to know where you were sitting -- didn't see this thread when I wrote up my review:
    viewtopic.php?f=9&t=160045

    Kravitz's sound was very tight up close, I was 6-8 people back, dead center from the flyway -- the round runway around the stage. U2 was overblown in places, mostly in the highs a strange ringing at times, Bono's mic was too hot in places -- that acoustic number, the guitar's strings were all abuzz or it was a bad reciever. And once I backed away from the stage, OMG the echo/overlay of the reinforcement satallite speakers was very noticable. I backed up to in front of the projection/soundboard area on the field for the encores and it was bad.

    But that's that -- overall I had an absolute blast!
    [sic] happens

    Wow. At first by the title, I thought they were looking to take legal action against the band. I wonder if Oakland Coliseum will give them free tickets to games or if the band will step in and let those people attend a show for free.

    I know it's not an American show but does anyone know if Glastonbury streams their festival online? I would love to watch U2's set.

    Usually no, but if they do, it'll probably be on BBC. Whatever it is, the broadcast clips will appear on youtube.

    Oh ok. They should stream their set.

    I also noticed B.B. King is performing the same day on the same stage a few hours before U2 goes on. Do you think he'll join them onstage and they perform "When Love Comes to Town"?

    It says on their site that a TV audience of millions for Glastonbury. That's probably only in the UK.

    http://www.u2.com/news/title/what-will-they-play-

    I hope they play The Fly, Lemon, Acrobat, Love Is Blindness, and So Cruel.
