Re: U2 plays "Oliver's Army"

According to u2gigs.com, tonight's show in Toronto had a snippet of "Alison" during "Beautiful Day" and a snippet of "Pump It Up" during "Vertigo."

Multiple posts on Twitter say Elvis was in the audience.

Re: Spectacle season 2

Am I correct that the Elvis/Bono relationship is similar to the Elvis/Sting relationship? I think I remember reading some not-so-nice things EC has said about Bono. He said in 1983 that he didn't like U2, but they apparently won him over after that. The earliest U2 on his Vanity Fair list is 1984's...

Re: Elvis and The Imposters play Aspen, Sept. 5 '09

There's a post on Twitter which says "the guitarist from the Doobie Brothers and Huey Lewis' keyboardist" — which I assume means John McFee and Sean Hopper — joined for the encores.

The Doobie Brothers are playing the same festival tonight. I have no explanation for Sean Hopper's presence.
