Last night the Irish programme "The View" aired Edge and Bono singing for the opening of the 02 Arena in Dublin docklands.
They recalled when it was just a depot and they filmed "Desire" and "Van Diemen´s Land" back in the 80's for "Rattle and Hum".
For this occasion they recreated the atmosphere of the place with a new rendition of "Van Diemen´s land". The docks in Dublin are a significant place, full of memories of the Irish who had to leave their land for good. It´s interesting to notice Bono´s words..."We were the first generation that did not have to leave and as a rock band refused to..."
