Yep it's been reported now that they rehearsed Pride and COBL.

Oh cool, thank for the heads up,
I guess they will play a third song too, Edge has a Gibson Les Paul, in the last pic, I cant see him useing it for Pride of COBL, most likely they will play "One" with it. Bono also has his Gretsch guitar for it, so I guess the setlist is.....

1, COBL
2, Pride
3, One

Looks like it might be the new Music Rising Gibson LP he played with BB King recently. Need a better pic to see the colors tho

[Rachel D.]

Thanks Lila! my friend had just sent me those too

Adam! He looks like a gray Jawa.

Are Bono's glasses strapped to his head or is that a cord from his ear monitor?

 

[bonocomet]

Pride and COBL according to one report!

 

[arw]

Pride and COBL according to one report!

that would make sense, especially Pride for Monday's holiday.

 

[arw]

Edge doesn't have any hands! It must be freezing there. Looking at these pics make me really happy that I moved out of Minnesota and into the desert where it was in the upper 70's today

 

[one4u2]

U2 overload is coming

 

[Rachel D.]

Those finger gloves can't possibly do that much good, can they? The ends of your fingers would still be exposed, and it's not at all pleasant to have numb fingertips.

I guess it's probably better than nothing.

[u2jesusgirl]

The mods can just combine this with the other thread...

 

[neutral]

Wonderful. Thanks ladies. I am starting to get soooo excited now.

 

[Val]

Fantastic! That was a performance, not a rehersal. I just hope Bono's voice is as good tomorrow. He really pushed it, and it's so cold.

Nice to see you, neutral.

Looks like ear monitor cord.

Wonder what Bono is saying, "My arse is cold, let's get this done."
