Even though that could be called of the "standard" set list, it's still a great set list.

Birthday concerts are always special ones. Happy Birthday Larry!

Show was awesome! Who were these girls? Are they really from Exit? They were amazing, specially the drummer. You can see Larry was in Awe!

Exit is great. Check out their website at Exit-band.com

I saw them in LA Sat. night. Awesome show. So glad they got up on stage (again for some of them!) and played! Pam is
an excellent drummer. She had blisters on her hands after their gig Sat night! Courtney is a really good guitarist and Affa a rockin bopping bass player. Trevi, their singer has a FABULOUS voice. They did a few U2 tunes on Sat. night. My fave was Ultraviolet (Light My Way). Watch out, these girls are gonna be famous!

Zooropa man...you're absolutely right! These girls were awesome! I wish I would have been one of those girls... if only I knew how to play the drums!!
Larry WAS in AWE!! I saw his face via my binoculars.... they looked so cool! I got the chills just seeing them handing their instruments to the girls!!

When first girl got up to see Bono and Bono asked him 'what she played?', she said the guitar (meaning The Edge), Bono said "Edge.... of course"... that was a great moment to have seen!

It was awesome indeed... And Bono & Edge sitting in front of Larry's drumkit listening to the girls play, then at some point Edge got a guitar I believe & joined, and Bono had the tambourine and played it, along with singing along with the singer of Exit... At the end of the night, the girls had also gotten the Larry Mullen Band shirts... They were showing them off later, and I believe the girls were all there the next night - just in different locations in the arena...

I've never seen Exit live...only JT. Just curious though, because I want to see them at their 14 Below show coming up, do they do U2 songs only, or lots of different songs?
