U2 will meet Rousseff, President of Brazil

When U2 arrives in Brazil, its expected that Bono will meet President Rosuseff which he has met with Lula De Silva once. The boys have three nights of concerts in Sao Paulo coming up and have scheduled a meeting with President Rousseff was receently visited Portugal.

No word out of Princple Mangement or Live Nation but sources from the Presidents suggest the possible meeting. Also no comfirmation of what could be on the agenda, however we do know that the whole band will not be meeting the President. 

Last week Bono was received by President Cristina Fernandez during the tour dates in Argentina. On Rousseff, last March met with Shakira, who asked him to help design the Latin American Solidarity Foundation, in which the singer takes part, alongside other artists from that region.

Argentina 3rd Show Difference

The reviews have all come in U2 was fired up last night in La Plata – The last of 3 shows as part of the 360 Tour. The Claw will be packed up and sent on its way later today ( well it will take about three days )

Leon Gieco and Francisca Valenzuela joined the last time during the show in Chile a couple of days easlier.
 
Gieco sang backing vocals and guitar by Bono “All I ask of God,” in an emotional block that also included a prayer from factory own “I Still Have not Found What I’m looking for.”
 
It was the latest of several surprises that left the Irish in Argentina. The first was the inclusion of, “Even Better Than The Real Thing”, a song from Achtung Baby The boys had not played the song for several years.
 
Beyond the basic set list is more or less unchanged;a U2 sought to create nuances in the three that shows at La Plata that made each a unique experience for fans.

Last night, the main surprise was the entry of Gieco on stage, but there were more changes. The classic “Pride (In The Name Of Love)”“Bad”, a jewel of the album The Unforgettable Fire. And for the first time “Magnificent”, was not included.
 
There was one failure in these three U2 concerts, the band did not play any song from their 1987 album, Rattle and Hum. But for the more than 150 000 fans who filled the stadium for three nights everyone enjoyed the show and wondered a bit if this was the last time they will get to see Bono and the boys.  



2nd Show Rocks Argentina

U2 Argentina 2011 /U2 360 Tour U2’s second show was pure rock according to U2 fans attending tonight’s show. We have a couple of great videos and photos to be posted.The boys well rested after a couple of days off between shows ( which was a first ) and we can expect to see it again in Mexico next month. During the soundcheck today Even Better Than the Real Thing, Stuck In a Moment, New Year’s Day and Ultra were tested out again. Of course they all make the set list which we have updated.What was interesting was that NOLOTH was missing a couple of tunes and the show seemed to lean towards the  Elevation Tour notably 4 of the 5 consecutive songes straight from All That You Can’t Leave Behind. Achtung Baby was also a big player in tonights show. Some fans posted disapointment on twitter as other’s seemed to not miss NOLOTH. Expectations run high for the 3rd night, most fans will have attended all three shows and have some expecations for somthing a bit different, something not on the U2 script. Hum what could that be?
