U2 in Nawlins
cindy // 28-04-06 // 10:22 PM // Comments (1)


Two members of U2 are currently visiting the great city of New Orleans. Last night (April 27), The Edge made an appearance at the reopening of Preservation Hall, an historic jazz club located in the French Quarter (the landmark location suffered damage during Hurricane Katrina). Edge performed “Vertigo” with local musicians Clint Maedgen, Benjamine Jaffe, and Lucien Barbarin.

Also last night, Bono was spotted at a show by funk band Galactic at Tipitina’s Uptown, another well-known music club in the city. After the show, Bono chatted with fans, who were very surprised to see the U2 frontman there.

Bono and Edge are likely to be seen again in the city at other shows, which there are plenty of during the New Orleans Jazz Festival.

I'd still considered going, even after U2 weren't announced as performing. I'm glad to hear they're both there, and I had a hunch they might be.

And I'm thrilled to be reading the first reports from Jazz Fest. New Orleans needs its energy (and frankly, its revenue) desperately this year.

Dave Matthews is scheduled to perform about 5:20pm EST.


We all knew with Edge's concern for New Orleans recovery and Bono's concern for the downtrodden that they would both have been at the N.O. Jazz and Heritage Festival!


Very, very cool.

see my above post.. I already posted this and the link to it. But its only portions of the fest(not the entire jazz fest).. And the webcast is on sunday and next sunday only. But I am sure the performances from today, at least the major ones will be on tomorrow's webcast. Especially DMB...

I read the title of this thread and went What the hell is Nawlins, so it's short for New Orleans

 

[nurse chrissi]

just got a message from a friend who is down there right now - he has seen DM and Edge - he hasn't heard about Bono appearing but he's pretty much confirmed that Edge will be on stage

 

[kassandra]

Oh - my - god. My two worlds have just collided. U2 and DMB? Never thought it would happen. Can't wait to hear this............wish I was there, doubt this will ever happen again.

 

[Nightsong]

Thanks all for the heads up! Couldn't decide between DMB or Etta James So glad I checked during the break! Jazzfest is awesome! We should have an Interference convention here next year!

[kellyahern]

Does anyone know what song The Edge sang with the New Birth Brass Band?

One of U2log.com's editors is on the scene. She just saw Dallas Schoo tech'ing a single guitar before the DMB set. So it looks like The Edge will be joining Dave Matthews on stage. And where there's an Edge, there's often a Bono.

 

[kassandra]

No problem! Here is some more:

One Sweet World *
Pig *
Hunger For The Great Light *
Recently *
Old Dirt Hill *
American Baby Intro *



Show Notes:
* Rashawn Ross



Just wondering when and if they will join in!
