U2 and didgeridoo player on stage in Brisbane at the end of their set.
Our man Down Under reports:
“The line up process was well organised with a first in best dressed policy (no fan club priority) . I got there just before midday and secured a position right on the railings of the stage (Adam’s side) The show seemed pretty much the same as what had been done previously but with a few changes here and there. ‘Walk On’ was performed as a full band again, and it showed that it had been a while. It seemed to take a the first verse or so for the band to get it right.
The main noticable difference was the final encore. ‘The Saints are coming’ sounded a little rough but nonetheless a great addition to the set. The show closed with ‘Kite’, which again seemed to take a little bit for the band to get into. The intro went on for a while whilst Bono had a chat to Adam. Then it took off. There was a guy playing a didgeridoo throughout and the ending of the song was quiet magical with Bono flying a kite on the b-stage, then releasing into the air. The Edge’s solo’s were longer and the end was extended.”
The Age newspaper has a 2:28 minute video featuring footage from the Brisbane concert, including what appears to be the bizarre “sunflower dance”.

I’ve confirmed that the organisers of the Make Poverty History concert in Melbourne on Nov 17 were trying all year to add U2 to the line-up (you may remember the rumours), or at the least have Bono a key speaker. They were unsuccessful, but they’re still trying from what I gather. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bono makes an impromptu appearance anyway. The 17th is U2’s day off between the last Adelaide concert (16th) and the first Melbourne gig (18th). More soon.
