    That would be awesome, wasn't it rehearsed recently too?
  6. Was that the same rehearsal? Or were there two? I thought there was another recently, I must have mixed them up
  8. Turns out Bono and The Edge weren't part of the Sinatra 100 broadcast then.


  9. A great, great treasure from their discography... it perfectly captures the mood and spirit of Frank Sinatra.

    Wouldn't it be wonderful to hear on the e-stage? Think of Stay -> Two Shots -> EBW....
  10. They were on the broadcast! I'm surprised no video has surfaced on YouTube yet.

    Rock band U2 have written a song in tribute to Paris after the recent attacks that left 130 people dead.
    The group were due to play in the French capital in the days after the attacks, but the gigs were cancelled.
    They played the first rescheduled show on Sunday evening.
    "We stand together with the families of those killed in Paris," said singer Bono, as victims' names were projected on a huge video screen at the AccorHotels Arena.
    "We stand together with the families of those killed in San Bernardino."
    As an encore, Bono wrapped himself in a tricolour flag and sang a verse of Belgian singer Jacques Brel's "Ne me quitte pas," or `"Don't Leave Me"
    U2 will play a second Paris concert on Monday evening.
    Before the gig, Bono revealed that the new song, titled Streets of Surrender, contains lines about Paris being the "city of liberty" and having "streets of love and pride".
    Bono told CNN he originally started writing the song for Italian singer Zucchero. He recited some of the lyrics:
    "Every man has two cities he needs to be. The one he can touch and the one he can't see.
    "The one where a stranger's a friend. Every man's got one city of liberty.
    "For me it's Paris. I love it. Every time I get lost down these ancient streets, I find myself again.
    "You're free, baby, baby, free now and for ever. It's Christmas time, you can decide to forget or to remember.
    "You're free, baby, baby. I didn't come here to fight you. I came down these streets of love and pride to surrender. The streets of surrender."
