Are there any audio or video recordings of it?

It's from the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball held on September 25 in New York. Bono was honored for his humanitarian work and there were a couple of performances by different artists, one of them being Alicia Keys. At one point, Bono joined her on stage for a performance of "Don't give up". It was said to have been great, but as far as a recording is concerned, I'm sorry I have to disappoint you. We've been looking for it since the event took place, but all we could find was a very short clip of Bono's speech and a few seconds from that performance. I would love to see it, but I don't know if it will ever see the light of day.
 
on that night also Gwen Stefani sang "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and - I don't remember who ... someone sang also "Miss Sarajewo".

And no footage at all :madspit:

but you can find some footage - speeches and stuff - just tip in "Black Ball 2007" on youtube... but not one the performances...

Do you know wich clip that has a few seconds on the performences? :) youtube link or something...
 
I just enjoy the fact that Alicia Keys is taller than Bono.

And if you mention her heels, remember his thick shoes and lifts.
 
Gotta love off topic "facts" based off a single pic. For all the PLEBA bashing, this forum sure has a Bono appearance fetish sometimes.

I'm short too and I just think it's funny. I'd make fun of myself if there was a picture of me and Alicia Keys. Big deal.

I don't think it's on You Tube, but I have uploaded the clip, it's very short and an audience recording, I wish there'd be a better one:

By the way, it was 25 October, not September.

Don't make fun of anything. Ever. Especially Bono, pictured below:
