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.

  • 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

  • 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….
