U2 Goes Crazy on Third Day of Letterman Week
The fifth track off of No Line on the Horizon album, “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight”, is played live for the first time on the David Letterman show Wednesday night. This is the third night of U2′s week long appearance on the Letterman show.
Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam also took part in show’s tradition of a Top Ten list. Tonight’s list was “Things U2 Have Learned Over the Years”. The highlight was The Edge’s handling of one of his Top Ten items.
Edge’s line was “Cool Name: The Edge; Uncool Name: The Itch”. Instead, The Edge substituted uncool name “The Itch” for “Sting”.
U2′s Second Day on Letterman is Magnificent
U2 performed fan favorite (according to our poll anyway) of Magnificent on their second day of five on the David Letterman show. (Alternative video) Bono wished drum tech Sam O’Sullivan a happy birthday at the end of the song. Letterman exclaimed: “I can feel that right in my chest!”
Continue to watch a news broadcast in which Bono ‘feels himself’ in NYC.
U2 play Breathe on David Letterman
First of five nights on the Late Show with David Letterman. U2 played ‘Breathe’. (Alternative video.)
