I have a confession to make.  I was out of the loop on something U2 related.  How this happened I will never know or understand! LOL!

Back on 7/21/08 iTunes released an exclusive U2 album called 'Live from Paris'.  It was recorded at the Hippodrome de Vincennes in Paris on 7/4/87.  Twenty one years ago from the Joshua Tree tour!  

I didn't notice this album was available until late last night!  I had to beg one of my brothers to let me borrow an iTunes gift card so I could buy it!!

The songs and Bono's voice sound AMAZING!!!!  I got chills this morning listening to it on the way to work!  Ahhhhhh!

I immediately made copies for my friend Whatever and for the Crush too!  LOL

What's the best summer concert you've ever attended?

U2 at Slane Castle on 8/25/2001.

My brother Joe and I went with 80,000 of our closest friends.  LOL

The funniest thing was a small band called Coldplay opened up for U2 and played right before the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Just read the most fabulous rumor on Bonophile's Vox!!!!

The new U2 album is due to be released on 11/18/08.

Hmm.  That seems about right.  Just in time for Christmas gift giving!

Hey!  That's only FOUR months from today exactly.  LOL!!!

WooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Imagine being in London tonight at Union Chapel??!!  

Bono and the Edge surprised a group of music fans with a four song set:

* Stay (Faraway, so Close)

* Desire

* Angel of Harlem

* Wave of Sorrow

This was one of the funniest reviews I read about the show tonight from Blend Music:

Anyone stopping by the Union Chapel in London on the 22nd? Nah, I’m not going to go either. Some no-name band is playing. I think they’re called Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions. Who the hell would even name a band Mencap? 

Well, it turns out we both screwed up. Apparently, Mencap’s Little Noise Sessions was actually Bono and The Edge. They played four obscure songs and even briefly broke into Bob Dylan’s “Like A Rolling Stone.” NME was there, those bastards, and they’ve reported The Edge played a little keyboard before the duo closed with “Wave Of Sorrow.” I’m not even a huge U2 guy, and I wish I would have been there! 

BBC radio personality Jo Whiley introduced the tandem, referring to them as "A new band with a lot of potential...Dave the guitarist is very nervous...If he makes a mistake forgive him, he's new. The singer is very shy." Son of a bitch. Someone needs to invent a time machine already, so I can go back and see this.

I wonder where LARRY was tonight?!?!!?  LOL
