The lines of people stretching around
the block did not at first endear me to this event. I met Ron
& Ben in the park. |
Hey it's Bono! Oh wait, it's just Buzz
McKinnon who we somehow managed to pick out of the crowd. |
Ron thinks "Hmm, band practice is
at 6, they better get on with it." Ben thinks: "I
wanna sandwich." |
All the non-ticket holders hung out in
the park next to the event. I didn't think there was any way
to get in. |
That's the band on a truck coming over
the Manhattan Bridge. How many times did they play "I Will
Follow" total? |
Finally we got into the park which was
fulla cameras and lights and excitable children. |
Sorry my camera's not so good on the telephoto
tip. That's U2, more or less. |
So are most of the songs on the new album
as downbeat as the songs they played? They played some old stuff
later. |
Obligatory shot of the red wall. We left
before they finished but you could still clearly hear them blocks
away. |
