Comments: Bono and Edge do a short acoustic set that's taped for an upcoming RTE-TV show about the late Ronnie Drew. It's the first music performance in the O2, Dublin's new arena on the site of the former Point Depot. The performance of 'Van Diemen's Land' airs on December 16.
U2 frontman and lead guitarist Bono and Edge have marked the end of the Point Depot and the opening of the new O2 Arena in a special feature for RTÉ's 'The View'.
They were the first band to play in the Point Theatre two decades ago and now U2 have become the first act to perform in it since its re-birth as the O2.
For rock stars, they are famously disciplined and so it seems are their groupies. U2's most committed fans form "selforganised queues" at concerts run by "line Nazis" that function almost identically from city to city, according to American researchers.
