Con motivo de la conmemoracion del 11 de Septiembre de 2001, NFL Network a travez de su programa Total Access retransmitira en su totalidad la actuacion de U2 en el Medio Tiempo del Super Bowl XXXIV. que se llevo a cabo en Nueva Orleans el 3 de Febrero de 2002, en el que los New England Patriots derrotaron a los St. Louis Rams 20-17.
En esa ocasion U2 interpreto “Beautiful Day,” “MLK” y “The Streets Have No Name” y durante su actuacion los nombres de las victimas de los ataques terroristas del 11 de Septiembre de 2001, aparecieron iluminados en una manta que se recorria detras de la banda.
“This is one of the most memorable and meaningful halftime performances in the history of Super Bowl,” said Charles Coplin, the NFL’s vice president of programming. “As we look back on the five years since 9/11, we felt our fans would enjoy this uplifting show.”

U2.Log informa de una conversacion entre Bono y Michka Assayas, en la que Bono le informa del estado de las sesiones de grabacion en Londres con Rick Rubin como productor, y en donde ademas Bono le canta una cancion de Skids, y comenta que pronto la grabarian junto a Green Day.
Well, that is what Bono told this afternoon over the phone to Michka Assayas – author of the book “Bono on Bono”. Bono sang an old Skids song to him, explaining that U2 is to record it soon with Green Day.
He also told Michka that everything is fine with Rick Rubin, and that they are all still working in London for another three weeks. Apparently, most of the work is being done out of the studio for the moment: Rick Rubin is expecting U2 to hold “extraordinary songs” before actually recording them. This approach, which seems to be more “artistic” than “scientific”, may put The Edge in a brand new situation.
This phone call follows a funny episode that happened yesterday night, during the Zoo TV DVD launching event at the Olympia theater in Paris. As the special guest of the night, Michka was passionately answering questions on stage when he suddenly decided to call Bono on his cell phone – was he inspired by the Zoo TV phone calls Bono used to make at the time? Anyway, the audience had an opportunity to leave a huge screaming message on Bonoís voice mail.
Bono kindly called Michka back today, insuring him that he would definitely have picked up the phone if he had been able to.
