    December 5, 2012

    Last night, U2 hosted Saturday Night Live. It was the first time of their career and one of the first times a band hosted SNL. The band performed in most of the skits, including two parodying the band. For the first "The History Of U2", members of the band, along with SNL comedians, reenacted their "career" by parodying the band. In the second skit, the band dressed up as their alter-ego "The Dalton Brothers". The band also performed two of their hits, Beautiful Day and One.

    I agree, I wasn't sure if they had originally put dates or not. Even though for that matter last time the tour ended up going for like 5 years lol Anyway, nice job on the TOTP show! Love the If God Will Send His Angels inclusion Also, we can use my schedule if you guys want, if not I really don't care, it didn't take that long to make
