Obama's inauguration

I have a friend in Virginia who said they heard U2 will be at the end of the show. That they will perform Pride and then as Obama is ready to come out play part of COBL as a sort of Live theme Intro for Obama.

If the COBL rumour is true, then that's awesome. Not so pumped about Pride, though maybe it's done in a different way to previous stuff.

I doubt it , they haven't changed it in 24 years. Why start now?

at least we're gonna have a nice bootleg when they play something interesting. COBL would be great, Pride is not bad too if it's played different than the last 100 years.
