I'd be fine if Bono sang along with what remains of the E Street Band.

He can't even remember the words to the songs he wrote himself...

It was obvious from the tweets and the crowd noise in the broadcast, but that's fine. If it was U2 only, it would have been completely different.In other notes, sad to say that I think there were more people there for Kanye than for anyone else.
While I agree that Bono was missed, I think Chris sang WOWY better than Bono has over the last 15 years or so. He just doesn't seem too bothered about singing it properly anymore.
Probably the only highlight of the concert was seeing the sheer joy on Martin's face from being the lead in U2, for one night only. He's hardly hid his admiration for the band and Bono over the years, and you can just tell, he's dreamt of this moment for years, yet never thought it would actually happen!
That being said, his vocals were weak, but Beautiful Day absolutely wasn't the right song, as already mentioned by others. He's no replacement for Bono, just like Bono would be no replacement for Martin in Coldplay. As for Bruce, I had to turn off Streets two verses in, it was too painful...
Totally agree, Brandon Flowers would have been perfect. Matt Belamy would have worked well too.
as a drummer, I hate how lazy Larry has gotten
he doesn't even do the sticks/hi-hat cound for Streets anymore
nope, annoying singers without charisma in their voice
There's a reason why U2 don't do many covers, just as there's a reason why others don't cover U2 very often... and when they do it's radically different.
I don´t know how Bono manages it, but he always sang others songs differently and it´s usually beautiful. Remember Yellow from Glastonbury? One of the highlights of the show.

Bruce was amazing!
Did i heard people booing at the end???
Bono singing from his bed in Ireland, all high on morphine would've been better than what I just witnessed. I wish him a speedy recovery because I won't be able to survive any future SUBSTITU2....
Bono is the main part of u2,did people not know this before last night?
im hearing alot of comments like " oh this shows how important Bono is"
Did people really not know this before hand.
Without Bono theres no U2!!!

Edge needs to get a larger jacket. It looks like he's wrapped up tight in duct tape when he wears that leather jacket.
