Word on the street is that U2 will do a 'secret' gig this Friday in London.

 

The alert being spread around is as follows:

 

"Make sure you're around upper Regent Street, near Langham Place around 6-6:15pm, to witness an unusual outdoor performance."

 

 

Well, I don't finish work till 4.30. :unsure:

 

Might need to get the chopper out. :P

 

 

Oh don't worry, I'll collect you in the plane. :smoke:

 

I hope this is recorded though. It's great when they perform outwide, hopefully on a roof of a high-rise building. :D

I predict they'll perform on the top of The Gherkin -_-

15 min gig ? hardly worth it

Well, this is something unusual! :blink:

It's gonna happen any minute. Apperently those who have Sky can watch it live by pressing their red button. It's also availalable to watch online live, but no doubt it's only for people in the UK -_-

Jups, I expect a full report. Make sure you are watching. It's happening NOW. :o

Magnificent :wub: God I am so bloody annoyed I cant watch this :cry:

Vertigo now :D

 

 

:w00t: I pressed the red button

:( I tried to record it for everyone to watch, it won't let me

Probably because you Oirish lot don't pay the BBC Licence fee :P

 

Still, you shouldn't grumble. You get everything else on the BBC free :lol:

 

bast*rds... :arrr: :lol:

 

The 'On The Roof' thing is still available for viewing btw for anyone who missed it Live. Go to BBC1 digital and press the red button. It's there. :cheer:

I tried something, but I think I can't watch that. :(

It doesn't seem to be on YouTube yet :lol:

I watched now on YouTube, they're only fan made versions.

 

Do I need to wait for Sat 28th, 5pm-6.45pm?

No Nada. The times given are for people in the UK who have Freeview. It's telling them they won't have access to the performance by pressing their red buttons during those times.

 

Not sure you are ever going to be able to view it to be honest. Unless somebody does manage to upload it to You Tube. But Sparkle said earlier it wouldn't let her record it. And if it won't let you record it, how do you upload it? :unsure:

I didn't read the whole thing, I just saw those times... :wacko:

 

Oh, great. :rolleyes: Yes, I think they won't let that to be on YouTube. <_<

There are some photos of the rooftop gig here, together with the Bono/Chris Martin story
