U2's Amazing Grace

noticias.info has a good review of the recent U2 show in France - right after the G8 summit.
Tonight he could see the world 'in green and red and blue' during Beautiful Day, and changed the lyrics to add that yesterday, Friday, had been a 'beautiful day for Africa' - to great applause. A week after debuting the number with Paul McCartney before several billion people, the band finished
Beautiful Day with Sgt Pepper: 'Hope you will enjoy the show..'
As Edge played the haunting piano chords and Bono blew into his harmonica, suddenly the whole dark night was burning with lighters and mobiles. 'That's beautiful!' said Bono, so inspired that he took the track off into a hymn at the end, breaking into Amazing Grace as the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights began scrolling up the back of the stage. The applause and cheering from the audience was a tonic. 'I once was lost, but now I see..'

Speaking of U2... I'm still looking for 4 or 6 tickets to the U2 show in Houston or Dallas. Anyone have a suite they'd like to let me use?
