5th U2 memeber on the tribute show was

[poguemahone]

I think that was 70's rock star Cat Stevens,playing the guitar,who is now a muslim known as Yusuf Islam.

 

[~LadyLemon~]

really?? I was wondering who the hell that was.

nudie magazine day!

 

[WildU2Horsesgirl]

Looked like Eric CLapton to me, possibly Elvis Costello. "Yusaf" wears a robe and turbin. Bono doesn't like him, he took up for Salman Rushdie, remember?

 

[jezebel]

they're saying its Clapton on the other thread.....

You'd think that if it had been Clapton, they would have shown him more. It almost seemed like they tried not to show the 5th person. And who were the backup singers?

 

[poguemahone]

if you go to cat stevens or yusuf islam website looks just like him.

 

[poguemahone]

the guy was terrible on the guitar it definitely wasnt clapton,i grabbed cat pics how do i post them???

Okay:

(a) That was NOT Eric Clapton. No way, no how!

(b) Neither was it Cat Stevens/aka Yusef Islam

(c) I could have sworn it was Daniel Lanois, but I suppose I could be an idiot.

I've said my piece, thanks and good night!

definitely not daniel lanois. saw him on stage with u2 @ msg and continental this tour,looks nothing like him. plus lanois slightly better guitarist,lol.

 

[amybatt]

After several stabs in the dark...

It was Dave Stewart of Eurythmics fame. Looks like Natalie Imbruglia and Morleigh Steinburg were back-up singers. Don't know the guy back up singer.

Okay can we establish the fact that Tania, aka mistyrose is a complete idiot???!

You're right, not Danny Lanois. Sorry. Blushing furiously. But hey, at least I didn't think it was Eric Clapton or Cat Stevens!!!!!

I guess I just love saying the name "Lanois." Haha.

Oh well.

I trust that Lanois is a better guitar player.

Yes, that was Morleigh and Natalie.

thought it was dave stewart also,but i really didnt think it looked like him. wait i got it,its the edges brother dick returning, he used to be in band...

 

[critter]

I know it couldn't be him. but I thought it looked like Ringo.

 

[Jenn121]

I thought it was Ringo, too.

 

[des7]

i too, thought it was ringo. definitely not cat stevens or eric clapton.

thought the entire telethon was great. i have never before seen such amazing music! i hope it gets released as a "benefit" CD.
www.msnbc.com has all the performances there for those of you who may have missed it. it is worth watching!

 

[beardog]

Okay, I know it wasn't Eric Clapton.
My husband and I have a bet on this.
Little help here?

 

[Hewson]

The opening shot of him had me thinking it was Ringo (but Ringo with a guitar??)
The very last angle he was shown at convinced me it was Eric Clapton.
Though I might be wrong, but I'm sticking with Slowhand until proof otherwise comes.

The joker is the best card.

 

[bratty_cat]

I think it was Dave Stewart as well (although towards the end I was thinking it could be Ringo but he looked too young). I think DS has worked with them in the past...

 

[kk5]

i?m shore that was Osama Bin Laden

 

[Rono]

It is Dave, the same nose as on his solo albums.

I can`t change the world but i can

I'm pretty sure it was Dave Stewart. Check out his website at (suprisingly enough) www.davestewart.com, and look at some pictures.

Arrgghhh!!
There's some money riding on this one!

 

[SanDiego Brenda]

I, too, thought it was Ringo

 

[cass]

100% sure it was Dave Stewart (with my typing dyslexia that came out as Stewrat..teehee, sorry Dave)
I was wondering how he felt, the last Eurythmics album was called "Peace"
