U2 react now benefit MTV

[rantor49]

U2 was just on the React Now benefit show on MTV. They played Love and Peace or Else. On the U2 stage with no audience in the arena. Very good.

WOW, that was badass! notice the drum stick fly up and hit bono in the head at the very end? hahaha

 

[rantor49]

I assume this was filmed in Toronto since they used there own stage. I was kinda weird with no audience but Bono sounded great.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVETH LPOE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sindaddy]

What were the changed lyrics? I missed the first part. (It was the "Lay down your guns" part in case anyone missed it)

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

I didn't know about this.

I didn't catch the first line but the second one was changed to "you Americans!"

the bandana has been changed for this event as well - just saying "help"

excellent performance

 

[the soul waits]

Is there a link to listen to this?

Thanks

I liked the bandana change too, nice touch .

I only caught the "americans" part too.

 

[atikicat]

It was "all you Kmarters...all you Americans."

Sounded good, but am I the only one who thought that it looked odd for Bono to be doing the usual stunts with light/drum to an empty arena? It just seemed off to me -- a little forecd.

"One" with Mary J. last night, however, was amazing.

Thanks

if you go to think.mtv.com you can download performances

you have to pay, but the money goes to charity

 

[VertigoGal]

dammit I missed this.

 

[innocent_eyes]

yeah it was just you jon_lemire...lol

they were into it, rocking and looked great!!!

Is Bono's hair black again???

 

[kellyahern]

What song is Pearl Jam singing now?

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

Love and Peace! Yay!

The first line change was, all you K Marters? Instead of all your daughters of zion. Is that what he said? I thought that's what he said.

Bono banging on the drums I hope he didn't get hurt by the drumstick hitting him in the head.

 

[Bean_Counter]

PJ did "given to fly". Great song

 

[jon_lemire]

Pearl Jam played "Given to Fly." Off the Yield (1998) album.

 

[*Viviana*]

Stupid internet connection

I'm watching this online and the video froze just before U2 so I was listening to Love and Peace and watching at George Lopez.
.

But it sounded excelent. Would someone please upload the video later?

 

[love2bmama]

I *thought* he said "k-marters", but what the heck does that mean?? Whatever, it was a great performance!

 

[mkdominatr]

ahhh i missed o well time to head out.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

It was "all you Kmarters...all you Americans."

That sounds very interesting.....

There is no way LAPOE could be worse than One Overplayed Song Sucked Dry Of Meaning.

 

[aledavid]

Any files?

video or mp3?

I check mtv and theres not U2 music file to purchase..

 

[dmalezi]

Is Bono's hair black again???

Not sure about that but I did notice that Bono's poses were very "The fly" like. Remined me of the ZooTV era!

 

[nuke126]

yes that was the first thing i noticed, he finally looks like a kick ass rockstar again.

 

[norsehorse23]

Great performance of LOPOE, and I really liked One last night with Mary J Blige...
