Remarks:
Bob Hewson, Bono’s father, passed away early in the morning on the day of this concert. Bono was at his father’s bedside in Dublin at the time, but still flew to London to perform this gig. He was visibly emotional during the concert. During Beautiful Day, he sung “another soul leaves the world, my old man” at the end, and dedicated Kite to his father, stating that “he’s no longer ill … he’s free”. On a statistical note, this show featured what is currently the last performance of 11 O’Clock Tick Tock.
