2009-02-27 - London, England - BBC Radio Theatre


setlist

  1. Get On Your Boots
  2. Magnificent
  3. I Kissed A Girl (snippet) / Beautiful Day / Blackbird (snippet)
  4. Breathe
Performance notes: U2 perform a Live Lounge session for BBC Radio 1. Boots, Beautiful Day, and Breathe are broadcast live on radio, while Magnificent is only shown on a website video stream accessible solely to UK viewers - it will be broadcast the next week on Zane Lowe's radio show. The band were going to play a cover but ran out of rehearsal time; Bono nonetheless sarcastically snippeted a line of I Kissed A Girl and asked the audience to imagine they are a U2 cover band before Beautiful Day began. This was Beautiful Day's first live performance since the end of the Vertigo Tour on 9 December 2006. See our full article here.

Performance

Great performance: when I heard GOYB for the first time on the album NLOTH, I was afraid that it might be quite difficult to performthis particular track live, but how wrong was I.

Sound

Almost perfect.
Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 5 stars

Audience

Awesome. Would have loved to have been there.

Overall

U2 is doing a great job on top of the BBC building. Great performance
