Only got a chance to hear THTBA. Bono's voice was in outstanding shape! Haven't warmed up to this song but this version may do the job! Is this the best performance of it recorded (3 versions) or live (2 previous versions)?!

Do we have a link to see this later for all of us people who have lousy computers at work with no sound card or video cards?
Well, I'm at work right now, and personally I don't think I can wait until this weekend to see the rebroadcast. So I just called CSpan to ask if they'll be rebroadcasting this later on today.
The woman didn't know yet, but said it was possible. I think she thought I was nuts.
The worst part of not seeing this was getting a call from my mother in Miami to tell me; guess who I just saw on TV. Bono, and The Edge was with him. (My mother is 70).

And Edge is just so . Huge amounts of water pouring down on his hands on the keyboard. How brilliant is he at not missing a beat. Or if he did, I didn't notice.. and he looked just 
I know, I know this isn't Pleba. Just can't help myself.. It was so great to see them on tv for a change.
They really did Clinton proud, I'm sure... stellar performance.

A thought about the Clinton Center
Was it me or did it seem very rude of many of the people at the opening?
It just appeared tasteless how many (especially dubya) did not even pay attention at all when Bono and Edge performed.
Clinton clapped at the end yet no one else in his circle at the moment including dubya did.
It reeked of superiority to me - here is our entertainment - it costs/means little to us so we will talk throughout and pay attention if we so choose.
At least Clinton's daughter seemed a little starstruck and Hillary was paying attention. Clinton seemed moved a couple of times although he did talk during it a lot...
None of the other bigwigs seemed to give a shit.
Also thought it was comical to see George Sr there in lieu of the ZOO TV calls.

LOL.... people would say it was rude for people to be talking during a performance (which EVERYONE) did. Geez, people are so picky. And the performance (outside SBS) was pretty cringeworthy.

Right when they started...Chelsea was standing right next to Bill and they were both under umbrellas and you could read her lips...she said "Dad, I downloaded their new album and it is fuckin' awesome" and Bill said "I know...It kicks total ass! I love these guys."

Hands was not that great. I haven't really heard the live version of that song but Bono sounded not so good at all IMO. Sunday Bloody Sunday was neat but the Edge messed up a little... I dunno it must have been the rain.

I take back the cringeworthy... Rain was fun but Hands still was not that great... actually I did cringe when Bono went into falsetto in that song.

Funny, I thought Bill said:, "Did it have Fast Cars?"

And GW was all like "don't we have an FBI file on these two?" and Gsr. was like "No...only that tall bass player guy"

at one point i read George W's mouth and he said "you can run, but you can't hide", once again not knowing why he's saying it, but thinking it will sound cool.

I'm a lip reader. At one point during the performance, Bush #1 and Bush #2 were huddled together. This is what they said to each other:
Bush #1: Are these the cock-bags that bothered me back in '92?
Bush #2: Yep. Major league assholes.

hmm.....maybe that's when he said "you can run, but you can't hide." though it could have been at any point of the ceremony.

Solid performance by the boys. Funniest bit was Edge tipping all the rain off the top of the piano seat before he sat down. The whole thing had such a disorganized, carefree, improptu flavor to it, which was a bit odd, given that 4 presidents were there. Just goes to show how political events ain't got nothing on rock n' roll shows
