Bono and Edge greet fans in Vancouver


Reader Morgan Uren reports about 30 fans who were waiting outside Vancouver’s GM Place got a treat Saturday afternoon when Bono and Edge visited with the fans after U2′s rehearsal at the venue. According to Morgan, Bono and Edge greeted each of the fans individually, and Bono — like a campaigning politician — kissed one fan’s baby before the band departed.

Thanks to Morgan for sharing her photos.

    If you enlarge the first photo, the head of the person behind the black car is the very wonderful Steve Lillywhite.

    “Bono has the head of Steve Lillywhite, which the band had lost at Heathrow Airport, transported to him by luxury car”

    The presence of Steve Lillywhite signals two possibilities: 1) U2 pulled in their producer to help them choreograph the sonic landscape for several new songs to be performed live, and/or 2) U2 will be recording and immediately mixing every concert for eventual sale on iTunes. I suspect that BOTH scenarios are possible and hopefully true

    I think ZooTV8 is right! Wouldn’t that be great to get the shows on iTunes, I think it would be!

    Hope it’s not something like the NY gig only finding it’s way to the US-ITMS this time….I’d be downloading again instead of spending my hard-earned Euro’s on my favourite band….

When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly […]
