Bono, Edge, Nile Rogers et al doing "Let's Dance"

[last unicorn]

The video was taken at last nights party after the RED auction for Sotheby's in New York. Don't be too hard on them, just a couple of pals having a lot of fun on stage I think it's pretty cool.

Thanks for posting, awesome vid! I would love me some Discotheque after that

 

[Zoo Lemon]

Great moment of fun. They even did 'Get Lucky'.

 

[jeevey]

Wish I was there. It makes me so happy to see them having fun together again. I also love that in the course of this one song Edge goes from ice man to near-funky chicken levels of groove. Now I have to go watch the other vids.

Yep, and "Good Times" with Edge dancing!

U2 performs Get Lucky, its an awesome moment.

If U2 had written Get Lucky, they'd be mailing it in and soundng too much like coldplay.

Such is life on interference.

I can totally see them including a snippet of Get Lucky at some point on tour. Mysterious Ways would be a good one.

Thanks for posting that. Didn't sound too bad at all.

Oh no, a "warhorse"!

Those clips are great and Bono sounds fantastic.

I'm sorry, but no. Get Lucky is the greatest thing since I first joined this message board. You can't go wrong with it, no matter who performs it.

What if Creed performed it?

 

[Zoomerang96]

I'd buy the single in all its formats and hunt the web for any and all remix's that exist. Not even Scott Stapp could ruin this song, my friend. It is above any taint, unlike a certain scott (ball) stapp (sack), if you catch my entirely obvious but exceptionally poorly delivered meaning.

Well, you could in a way. Because now I have a child walking around going We're up all night to get lucky, We're up all night to get lucky all day.

Woooo someone is feeling too bothered by the black sheep's opinion here.

No, if U2 had written "Get Lucky", they would've sound like a pastiche of any other early 1980's disco or most of 1980's Nile's hits, which is what this song is.

It's probably been mentioned in another thread, they also did Lou Reed's Perfect Day then did Beautiful Day sometime earlier, I think at the actual auction?

Yes, Bono with Chris Martin on piano. I haven't found any really good and complete recordings of those two performances yet.

Agreed. I'd take that recording with opun aams!

Wow, Bono singing "you could look into my eyes" at 3:50 reminds me of ISHFWILF studio version...that tone

Not sure how I feel about that "Get Lucky" performance...

Someone thinks too highly of themselves

yep, i remember it being pretty awkward when Lady Marmalade was getting a lot of air play and my 3-year-old was learning French

 

[Zoomerang96]

That's putting it mildly.

 

[Vlaco]

This was good fun to watch/listen to
