(This is what I will write when I'd see the performance, writting now cause not too sure that I'd be interested to write it then)

That was a amazing and moving performance of One or Beautiful Day, I like the new lyrics at the end.

Maybe we'll get a new song.

Maybe the sun will explode.

Is this only going to be televised in Ireland?

What is 11th Special Olympics World Summer Games and where does this take place ?

These can't be the real Olympics, 'cause tey're not the 11th for sure

U2NSTLOU · Jun 15, 2003

Does anyone know if the Special Olympics have been held outside the U.S. before and if it was televised here? If so maybe we'll get it here in the states.

Here's a fantasy for ya: The band performs a new song, and then they release said new song, both live version and studio version, on a special fund-raising release.

Like I said, then the sun will explode.

U2NSTLOU · Jun 15, 2003

Thanks Martha lets hope they still show it here anyway. As for the coming explosion I'm ready I got a new coat yesterday :lol:

~fairy_girl~ · Jun 20, 2003

ooh just to let you know ...

it is being televised worldwide...

We would just like to remind you all that the Corrs will be performing in the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics this Saturday, and according to the Belfast Telegraph the ceremony will be transmitted live on television around the world.

People living in Northern Ireland will be able to watch the event live on television channel RTE, while people in the rest of the world will have to make do with pre-recorded footage of the show. The RTE broadcast is being transmitted on Eurovision, and the opening will be watched live throughout Europe and North and South America as well as India and many other countries.

Ireland is 5 hours ahead of NY. So 7pm there is 2pm EST here.

I have no idea if or what station it'd run on in the US.

just reading that makes me :drool:

The idea that somewhere in the world U2 is onstage right now doing a soundcheck and getting ready to perform in a bit makes me very happy. Now if we can just figure out how to see the performance that would be even better. I just looked online at the cable guide for my cable co and it doesn't have anything listed for today.

I'm at work so I know I won't be able to watch it :sad:

But, I know U2 fans are awesome, so I know I'll be able to see it sometime. I also know there will be plenty of pictures and probably MP3's as well. :hyper:

And I agree ARW...it is exciting to know that U2 are going to perform soon. I'm glad it's the entire band too. I love Bono, of course, but I like it when the whole band is involved. :yes:

(New
