my hope for tonight is that U2 sticks to crowd pleasers and bypasses anything from No Hits on the Horizon.

The first are dropping in...

There is footage of U2 on Youtube rehearsing Gimme Shelter, so it's a safe bet that this will be the song, or one of the songs, that Mick will be singing on.

Should be. I'm expecting another Stones hit at least.

Patti Smith will also be playing with U2 tonight, as will Springsteen.

"U2 perform at Rock Hall of Fame


Today, U2 are performing at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's 25th anniversary concert at Madison Square Garden in New York. Earlier in the day, the band did a fairly extensive soundcheck. They rehearsed I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For with Bruce Springsteen and Where Is The Love? with the Blackeyed Peas. Patti Smith joined U2 and Bruce at one point, though it is unknown for what song. Mick Jagger also joined U2 to rehearse; again, the song is unknown, though a likely chance is Gimme Shelter, which U2 soundchecked two days ago in Vancouver.

The show is under way right now, with numerous artists performing short sets. U2 are the last act of the night and are reportedly scheduled to play twelve songs. We'll see how that goes. Stay tuned!"

12 songs for U2. Rather excessive ain't it? Unless Bono is taking a vow of silence midway through.

U2 are the last act of the night, and are on stage right now. The setlist so far is:

1. Vertigo
2. Magnificent
3. Because The Night (with Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith)
4. Because The Night (second take due to missed cues and problems in the first)
5. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (with Bruce Springsteen)
6. Mysterious Ways
7. Where Is The Love? / One (snippet) (with the Black Eyed Peas)
8. Gimme Shelter (with Mick Jagger and Fergie)
9. Stuck In A Moment (with Mick Jagger)
10. Beautiful Day

"Because The Night (second take due to missed cues and problems in the first)"

Damn, I love Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how come no jagger video but there is video of alot of others from that show?

Fergalicious!

Stuck (with Mick)

Seems like such a small stage. I've never been to the Garden and keep promising myself I'll go for the next tour.

Great to see Mick, looks like he's ready.

Hopefully he's seeing U2 add dates, see's their carting their big ass stage around, and for me anyway, I'm hoping that gets his competitive juices going and we start hearing some serious rumors, plans before years end.

John

Unbelievably good. Mick is poised for another tour. No doubt about it. Can't wait for more video postings.

Anybody have the second night entire set list?

U2 with Mick - Gimme Shelter (partial)





U2 with Springsteen - Because The Night (partial)

NEW YORK – U2 brought three generations of chart-toppers — Mick Jagger, Bruce Springsteen and the Black Eyed Peas — with them onstage Friday at another night of mix and match magic at Madison Square Garden.

Metallica brought the thunder to Lou Reed and Ray Davies. It was the second of two concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and they will be edited into an HBO special to be seen on Thanksgiving weekend.

During U2's set, Bono was waxing poetic about the spiritual, physical and political power of rock 'n' roll until finally the Boss had had enough.

"Let's have some fun with it," Springsteen said. They performed U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For," with Bono and Springsteen trading call-and-response vocals during the final verse.

U2 topped the bill for the four hours of music. True to the spirit of Rock Hall events, producers sought some unusual pairings for artists to pay tribute to influences: Annie Lennox and Lenny Kravitz joined Aretha Franklin onstage, and Sting popped up to sing "People Get Ready" with Jeff Beck.

Jagger, who sang "Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" with U2, also danced a duet with the Black Eyed Peas' Fergie on "Gimme Shelter." Jagger stuck his microphone in his waistband as the black mini-skirted Fergie approached. U2 stood in the background, the world's most expensive "house band," as Jagger called them.

"Weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs...," Bono joked.

U2 asserted authority when everyone left the stage, closing the show alone with "Beautiful Day."

Just to show music's finest aren't perfect: U2, Springsteen and Patti Smith needed a do-over when they mangled their version of "Because the Night." They almost needed a third, when Smith missed the cue to start.

Mettalica went for an easy cheer from the New York crowd by playing video of the Yankees' Mariano Rivera behind them during "Enter Sandman." The song is played at Yankee Stadium when Rivera enters a game.

Mettalica paid tribute to influences by playing songs by Bob Seger and Queen. Frontman James Hetfield noted the band's trepidation when Rock Hall officials suggested artists to share the stage with.

"We're not the most jammy kind of band," he said. "We're kind of a tight little unit. We don't let a lot of people in."

One choice was unsurprising: Ozzy Osbourne, who sang "Paranoid" and "Iron Man." The others were less obvious but went over hugely well, judging by the crowd. New York's Reed had a muscular backing for "Sweet Jane" and Davies had the type of riffage he hadn't seen since the Kinks on "You Really Got Me" and "All Day and All of the Night."

"We didn't know what to think of this at first," Hetfield said about meeting Davies. "We got completely schooled."

Jerry Lee Lewis began the show with his hit "Great Balls of Fire." A half-century ago he might have ended it with some leaps or kicking of furniture; here he slowly pushed his piano stool over at the song's end.

Aretha Franklin was a teaser, introducing one song as being "for those of you who don't feel they're getting enough respect" — then sang a show from "Ragtime." She introduced her band and drew a blank on the name of her guitar player. She barely acknowledged Lennox when they shared the stage for "Chain of Fools..

She still has a gale's force voice, though.

And, in the end, audience members got their "Respect."

Fergie blows she should't be within 10 miles of a Stones let alone on stage with Mick. Saw The Black eyed pees open for them once. Wow what a joke.S he will always be best known for peeing in her pants

MICK looked great!! Strutting around and took total command of the stge when he entered! He still is and always will be "THE GREATEST FRONTMAN" of them all!!!
Now LETS GO BOYS! Bring ona TOUR!!!

Who is the guy on keyboards during Gimme Shelter?

N

I presume he's a 'Pea' as the whole band were U2's guests
