U2 on Letterman - Monday -

A week of U2 on Letterman - wow, let me in the sound, sound let me in the sound!

Check out Letterman paying homage, and spoofing a bit as the Irishmen play along ...



Of course, "Boots" has been everywhere. So it was nice to see them venture out a bit and leave that one behind for something else. It's also interesting to see them get the songs in "live shape." I would never have predicted Breathe to be a big number, but they are clearly loving this one live and it translates better than I would have thought. This is quite the spirited version, and Bono really whips up the crowd.

One quick news flash first -- tour date announcement coming on March 9!

"We are people borne of sound
The songs are in our eyes
Gonna wear them like a crown
Walk out, into the sunburst street
Sing your heart out, sing my heart out
I've found grace inside a sound
I found grace, it's all that I found
And I can breathe
Breathe now"
