u2log.com has some info on rehearsal today at the Superdome
This afternoon U2 and their crew prepared for the band’s performance with Green Day tomorrow night at the Superdome. Our spy inside the Superdome provided the following real-time report:
2:45 pm - The U2 crew practice putting up and striking the stage as quickly as possible. The stage design is simple.
3:20 pm - The Edge and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day film interviews together in the end zone with Good Morning America and Extra. Bono runs around inside the stadium with photographers following him. Paul McGuinness surveys the action.
4:20 pm - The Edge rehearses some Green Day songs, as well as “The Saints Are Coming” and “Beautiful Day,” alone to a tape. His trusty tech Dallas Schoo stands by.
4:40 pm - Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton arrive with the rest of the members of Green Day, joining Edge on stage for rehearsal. Bono is the last on stage, wearing a different outfit than what he arrived in. It’s a black military-style jacket with an atomic bomb starburst design on the back, black pants, and a black tee. Bono grabs his microphone and says, “Welcome to the black and red conference.”
4:45 pm - The bands rehearse “The Saints Are Coming,” segueing into “Beautiful Day.” Every volunteer and staff member working in the Superdome is on the field watching the bands rehearse.
4:55 pm - The bands rehearse Green Day’s song “Wake Up When September Ends” repeatedly.
5:05 pm - Rehearsal continues. The song order for the performance tomorrow appears to be “Wake Up When September Ends,” “The Saints Are Coming,” and “Beautiful Day.”
5:15 pm - Rehearsal ends with a round of applause from everyone on the field.
