February 9, 200718 yr Author I was just reading that U2 were supposed to play a 3rd song, Pride, which was their new single. But Bono went walkabout during Bad and when he finally returned to stage they had ran out of time. It's quite interesting that none of the band knew where he had gone or what was happening. They were absolutely terrified. They couldn't see him and thought he had gone back to his dressing room he had been gone so long. :lol: So they just kept playing! He finally re-appeared just in time to leave. Afterwards there was a massive row backstage. All of U2 thought their performance had been terrible and they had really blown it. Bono thought he had really f***ed up and went home to Ireland in a fit of depression. But then the press reports started saying how amazing U2s performance had been and Bono really seized the moment. Thiswas really a shock to all in the Band. But apparently what had looked like a disaster from the stage was actually a masterstroke on TV. ^_^
February 9, 200718 yr Author The book is really fab. Loads of stuff in it of interest. You may see a Maori stagehand guy in the clips. He is making sure cables don't get in the way. He was a great friend of the band. His name was Greg Carroll and he was killed in a motor bike crash in Dublin not long after. The song One Tree Hill was written for him. :(
