would U2 improve the live experience with the addition of a touring keyboardist?

Uh... Ok, That's a new one, but I'll give it a try.. (Insert smiley face with the winkly face here)

And to answer your post.. I did like it when U2 used the extra pianos et al.. like on walk on near the end.. agree with the person who said 'heard not seen'

Actually, a piano player was pulled from the audience in st. louis, along with a guitar player. If you get an opportunity, download "knocking on heaven's door" from this show from u2achtung.com. Bono tells him the chords, but forgets that the guitars are tuned down. The guy comes in on piano and clashes hard with the guitars. He was already obviously nervous before he butchered the song, and the crowd enjoyed it all the more when they messed up, I think. It was pretty funny at the time.

Keep the other instrument players out of view, unless they are well-known personalities sitting in with the band.

Heh...during Chicago 1 (5/15/01, I think) Bono says "this was our first single on Island Records." The band break into 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, except the Edge's guitar is tuned down 1/2 step and wages all-out war with Adam's bass.

The Edge gets a new guitar, and then Bono says, "this is our second single on Island Records."
