Bono on guitar again?

While I don't think he played during this, I don't see why they would want him to be holding one if he couldn't play. Maybe they'll do the Fly and kite next tour.

Me too! The 360 version was really good.

Also happy to see the B-man with a guitar in his hand again. Hoping he's able to play again.  :)

Nothing will ever eclipse for me the Fly - elevation version. Even if you don’t like ATYCLB, you have to acknowledge that the elevation tour had some of their best live moments

I really hope for his sake he can play guitar again - it's a tool of his songwriting trade.

Live I preferred Popmart to the Elevation Tour, but the version of The Fly on Elevation was very good.  I enjoyed it more first time around, however (Zoo).

He did write the intro to cedarwood road

Wouldn't know... They never saw fit to tour it widely...

You walk out into a sports hall,
lights go down,
it's a whole different scene

Light in motion
Light in motion

Love Lights up the motion of the sky
It's hard to walk away
when you could have it all
We could have it all
Love, we could have it all someday

I read somewhere Bono made up the extra verse on stage....not sure if it's true but it's great. They played it here in Miami on the opening night..

Maybe he's playing slide guitar. Bono told in a recent interview someone tried to get Bono on slide guitar.

Would love to see him back on guitar.  Gives him a prop at least on stage.

Didn't I read somewhere that he was going to need more surgery to get his motion back?

Where did you read that, riffy?  He might gain some elbow motion if they remove the titanium screws in his arm but his problem is the nerves leading to his fingers.  Not sure if they have surgery that could repair that.  I did read him say he could play a guitar if he's sitting in a chair and the guitar is upright.  Not sure that'd work too well on stage, however!

I honestly don't remember where I read it...hopefully it was a (bad) dream...and not at all true! Yeah, I can't see him in a chair on stage. Maybe they could hire me to hold the guitar upright for him... ;)
