U2: Letterman's House Band for a FULL WEEK

[Slipstream]

They did that part just like the studio version. It was great when Bono when out to the front of the stage because the crowd really got into it.

Coool....thanks!

Also thanks for the updates from all the other lucky devils that got to see the show tonight!

I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy watching Dave tonight.

I dont know if ill be able to stay up for a 3rd straight night my energy is really draining...unless I go for a power nap now....hmmm sounds like a good idea

(Thought this should go hear too.....)

I was there for the taping and can confirm that U2 played I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight. This was its live debut, right? From the audience anyway, it sounded great. Bono was a bit tentative at first (he stayed at the mic stand instead of wandering the stage as usual) but the song picked up dramatically near the end and the crowd, once again, leapt out of their seats to give them a standing ovation. It was terrific.

Also, the band did the Top 10 list....and it was hysterical. I won't spoil it, but the four members walked out, gave a goofy bow to the audience, and proceeded to read off the list. Most of the entries were good, but the two best belonged to Larry and (especially) The Edge, who seemed to ad-lib one that brought the house down and had Letterman himself in stitches.

I'm betting we get a new song tomorrow too....the word is that the band stayed late at the theater last night to rehearse. I suspect it'll either be No Line on the Horizon or Stand Up Comedy. Also, they advertised that U2 would be doing an interview segment tomorrow, too.

Additionally, it was really cool to hear so many Late Show personnel raving about the lads...Dave's said it several times on air already, and so many behind-the-scene staffers were talking about how great the band's been all week and what an energy they've brought to the show (and the crowds) all week. The word "electric" was used to describe the atmosphere several times. Great stuff.

That's correct. Fifth song off NLOTH to be played live.

This makes me happy

 

[bonoz]

Can someone tell me if there's gonna be full episodes available online somewhere? I have two tests tomorrow so I have to study for them.

 

[Acrobatic]

Would it be safe to speculate those will be the "singles"? Or is that to be discussed in a separate thread?

Edge: "I Suck at Guitar Hero"

 

[PopFly]

Ha ha, Edge just threw Sting under the bus. Awesome.

[animeavalanche]

i dont think larry's family knows

 

[Catman]

Seriously, Larry is becoming my favorite member of the band...

 

[Rachel D.]

That Top 10 made my day!!! I was hoping so much that they would do one!

 

[JOFO]

What the fuck is up with Edge's problem with Sting?

Ok.
Saw the Letterman top 10 tonight and Edge's jab at Sting.

Why?

It's not the first time, and frankly it's pissing me off. Edge, go ahead and make fun of Bon Jovi, or whatever,but Sting? Why? Sting is much more of an accomplished artist than "The Edge", so really, step the hell off.

Sting has been lame at times but so has the Edge, starting with that fucking stupid riff to Vetigo and continuing with Boots.

Edge, whatever your fucking problem is, it ain't cool to keep on pissing on Sting. It's in bad taste and you know it.

Or are you afraid Sting can whip your ass on guitar whn Sting is primaily a bass player?


*pissed*


BTW Edge, I think you owe Andy Summers some money.

Ass.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'm sure it's just a joke. i don't get the big deal.

 

[emzz]

What exactly did Edge say about Sting?

 

[corianderstem]

i'm sure it's just a joke. i don't get the big deal.

Seriously.

 

[James U2]

it could have simply been due to the fact that the joke was about stage names and sting is one of the few people out there who has one that people know...

 

[namkcuR]

What exactly did Edge say about Sting?

#5 in the countdown was supposed to be: "Cool Name: The Edge, Uncool Name: The Itch." Edge said, "Cool Name: The Edge, Uncool Name: Sting - I mean, the Itch."

[Fullonedge3]

[cleazer]

Hilarious joke from The Edge tonight. Funniest thing on Letterman's show in years unfortunately.
