Anyone else catch this? What a nice pre-game performance. They're on at halftime too...in about 5 minutes. :)
Edit: 1/2 time was not as advertised. They just re-ran about 30 seconds of the pregame show.

I missed it unfortunately. Did Edge get a solo? What song did they do?
At this time I would like to tell you that NO MATTER WHAT...IT IS WITH GOD. HE IS GRACIOUS AND MERCIFUL. HIS WAY IS IN LOVE, THROUGH WHICH WE ALL ARE. IT IS TRULY -- A LOVE SUPREME --. John Coltrane
It opened with both bands doing that Greenday song, "When September Ends"...or whateber it's called. Then a song in the middle by both bands and then both bands did 'Beautiful Day. The Edge got a little solo in during the Greenday song. Typical Edge solo. Nothing overstated.

The song is 'Wake me up when september ends'.Such a great song!
I wish i could have seen that.Anyone getting it on youtube ?
i saw it, of course. i thought it wouldnt be so great...collaborations usually arents so great. but i really enjoyed this one. The Saints Are Coming was especially awesome and I can't wait for the single.
I thought Green Day & U2 did a great job. Very tight, very emotional. I liked the added horn section too. 8)

I agree, it was a fantastic collaboration. Some lyrics were modified for the event, and tastefully done.
"There is a house in New Orleans, and it's called the Super Dome..."
It looked like Green Day's drummer was beyond excited - a big/little kid on the big stage, playing along with his heroes.
Segue: we did a MusicRising auction for concert tix last summer - overpaid, but the money went to a very good cause. Anyone else been back to NO in the past 12 months?
