WOO-HOO! I'm going flying from LA to NYC for the May 21st show-What a great added treat. Its going to be insane! Knowing how they band loves the city, they will give a commanding performance!!!!!!!!!!
I think last summer their concert in the park series was also at Bryant park and the acts would usually do 2-3 songs that would air on the show and then a couple more off air.
apparently good morning america is not popular with the interference crowd...
i've had two seperate, unrelated people tell me they saw this announcement on GMA this morning... one in person, one via e-mail. both said that they announced on GMA that u2 would kick off the summer free concert series on friday may 20th in bryant park.
also, someone in this thread claimed a friend also called to tell that person that they saw the announcement.
these GMA shows are usually in bryant park, which is near the GMA studios, but on occasion they hold them in times square... where ABC also has a large number of studios and offices, including the 20/20 offices and the espnzone.
so who knows... could be in either location.
the first thing i heard was bryant park, so i'm sticking with that location for now.

ABC-TV's "Good Morning America" program will feature an upcoming Vertigo Tour concert as the launch of its summer concert series on May 20th. The program will feature five songs taped during a live show, along with a taped Diane Sawyer interview segment with the band. It's not yet known which Vertigo show will be featured on GMA. (Thx AC and TN)
I did have GMA on this morning but saw nothing about this. The only thing I could google is:
USA TODAY...
