Madison Square Garden U2 Bring On 3 Generations

Madison Square Garden saw another night of mix and match magic, as U2 brought on stage Bruce Springsteen, Black Eyed Peas, and Mick Jagger. It was the second of two concerts to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

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. Springsteen said. “Let’s have some fun with it.” They performed U2’s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.

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

U2 closed the show alone with Beautiful Day. Click here to read more on this story. Did you go to Madison Square Garden? Let us know your thoughts.
