U2 2011 in Pictures (part 2)


APRIL

Brazil: "Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo..." Bono sang in a crowded stadium. 

An incredibly touching moment with Moment of Surrender in the first concert going out to those who lost their lives in the shooting at Tasso da Silveira school in Rio di Janeiro on Thursday.
' This has been a difficult time for Brazil... and what happened in Tasso da Silveira.
'We'd like to dedicate this to the children and the mothers and their families and the teachers and the people of Brazil.'




U2´s second night in Sao Paulo was received with heavy rain and a surprising  new/old song, "for special reasons, this is our first single" anounced Bono as the band broke into a fresh version of "Out of Control"


'U2 have had a great time in South America - they've played fantastic sold out concerts in Santiago, Buenos Aires and here in Sao Paulo. This webcast and live radio broadcast in Brazil gives U2 fans who couldn’t get a ticket, the chance to hear a great show.' said U2 Manager, Paul McGuinness.

MAY:

Mexico First Concert:  "Estas son las mañanitas..."  "Happy Birthday"  A full stadium  serenaded  Bono.

Azteca Stadium in Mexico City

Second night in Mexico. "Where´s Frank?" Bono dedicated the show to the great singer whose passed away 13years ago.


"Strangers in the Night..."


Last Night in Mexico: "Gracias por esta semana" Bono thanked Mexicans for the great week.


'Last week in Mexico, birthday candles, dancing with my lady, drinking tequila, drink-ing tequila...' Only Love Rescue Me could follow that and it did with 100,000 voices on the chorus.
