U2 Singing On The Tribute Show!!!!!!!!

[mistyrose]

Just wanted to say add that upon first glance, it looked like Ringo Starr, but it wasn't him or Clapton or various other people we here have suggested.

But I want to know if I'm totally off base in thinking it was Daniel Lanois? I wouldn't be surprised if it was, but if it wasn't, my faux pas!

Does anyone know if this going to be repeated on the east coast?

 

[SkeeK]

I doubt it was Lanois, because Danny doesn't look like that

LOL, I'm sorry, you're probably correct. Like I said, I'm an idiot.

But it was NOT Eric Clapton like others are guessing. LOL

And it's not Ringo either. This guy is a wee bit stockier, esp. more so than Clapton!

Well, I'm sure someone will post the truth online soon.

Again, apologizing for my idiocy

Umm, Sicy, I am hoping that is some kind of a joke.

I have cable and with the cable channels and networks, it was on over 25 stations where I live! Or I should say *is* on.

MTV, VH1, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, Fox Family, etc., etc. are all airing it, commercial free

Actually, it's not on the westcoast for another hour and a half (9pm).

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

Yes, I know--but there must be the ritual blank tape hunt followed by VCR set-up... ok, so maybe it takes me longer than most hehe

Okay, you ladies would know more than anyone, for those who watched, was that their longtime friend and producer, Daniel Lanois playing guitar next to Edge or no???

Nope. Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics, we're pretty sure.

[mistyrose]

Okay, the fifth member of the band was not Eric Clapton, Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam, Daniel Lanois (lol), Ringo Starr, et. al

It was Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics.

Sting sounds good

 

[poguemahone]

i think the guitarist was 70's rock star Cat Stevens,who now is a muslim known as Yusif Islam. looks like him???

 

[U2ME3]

Holy Shit!! Pearl Jam!!

 

[Se7en]

May I say that Eddie Vedder has really grown up. And I see Neil in the background helping out on piano. This is all so great...

 

[jinn77]

The other guy performing with U2 is actually Dave Stewart, one half of The Eurythmics (remember them?). If you look at the sleevenotes for ATYCLB under Walk On it actually states that he provided Bono with early inspiration for that track. Judging by the performance tonight it's pretty clear to me what Bono's stance on rececnt world events has been. We've got to leave it behind.

 

[mistyrose]

Wow, how long has it been since I've seen Eddie Vedder anywhere, let alone on TV?

He's in good form though, and it's great to see Neil Young with him.

tania--who thinks this is turning out to be one classy tribute telethon

Ah, Diemen, I think you just answered my question (whew). Fox will, in fact, be showing it on the west coast from 9-11? Because it is on a lot of stations on the west coast right now and I missed U2!

But saw Sting--that was a beautiful, moving performance. Probably the most intimate performance of Fragile I've heard.

[Se7en]

I second that...VERY CLASSY.

 

[TripThruUreWires]

Oh My...i don't know what to say..Eddie Vedder's performance was breathtaking....one of my favorite pj songs....so moving. and yes, neil in the background, i loved that.

and BTW, at first i didn't even recognize ed...with his hair SHORT...yes, he has in fact grown up...not to get superficial here..but he's never looked better.

oh wow...these are all some great performances....less mariah carrey perhaps

 

[Achtung_Bebe]

Who was that guy before Celine? I just caught a second--kind of sounded like David Byrne but that can't be.

Paul Simon

 

[mug222]

Man, what is this world coming to when Paul Simon isn't recognized?

Yes that was Simon playing a wonderful version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water"

 

[U2ME3]

WILLIE!!!!!!!!

 

[ramblin rose]

Incredible Tribute.

[Achtung_Bebe]

I feel like braiding Willie's hair or something

[U2ME3]

IMHO Should have been duet between Willie and Ray Charles.
