But they have a picture!
What tells you that the picture isn't fake ?

Like many of you, we originally suspected this might be someone playing an April Fools' Day joke, but that doesn't appear to be the case. After doing some digging, and as we've reported on our Tours page, we believe the event was a late 50th birthday party for Apple design chief (and Friend Of Bono) Jony Ive. "Spike," the original source of information on Twitter and Instagram, is Richard "Spike" Holifield, who played bass on Sinead O'Connor's album, The Lion And The Cobra. He's now deleted all of his posts and photos from the event, but you can still see them on Storify. We'll leave our original story in tact below, but the links to individual tweets won't work, nor will the embedded Instagram photo show up.
Something something Kunstmuseum
Nice find U2girl, seems to be confirmed as legit!

Am I missing something? What is the confirmation? That the guy erased the tweets?
I'm not saying it can't be true, it's just rather odd.
Adam just happens to forget his bass.
The only one they could find was from a guy who's whole bio is he played on a 30 something year old album?
Not one other single guest Instagramed or tweeted about it?
And then Dallas' note; is he always in the habit of texting setlists?
I'm basing it on the fact that @U2 feels it's legit and I trust them as a source. Perhaps it turns out to be wrong...then so be it but as of now it appears to be legit.
If it were an April Fools joke, someone would have come forward by now as is customary with April Fools edict!

This is just something they did for the hell of it for a friend. It's not like the CEO of Philip-Morris hired them to play his granddaughters birthday party. Everyone needs to chill.

In 2008 or so, R.E.M. once played at a crew members wedding reception in a bowling alley, and it was the last time the 4 original members of R.E.M. ever played together in public.
Edit: that R.E.M. bowling alley thing actually happened in 2005. The last time the original 4 played together was the rock n roll induction in 2007. For those who care about rem
Did you think people were upset that they did this?
My apologies, I'm on the wrong forum. The peeps over @ @u2 were jumping off the cliffs, saying that they should hang it up if they're going to "sell out" and do private events, like the Stones do.
They're a more serious and literal bunch over there on @u2.
Probably why I never returned after my initial visit, can't even remember my screen name
Pretty sure it was Fisher
