Bono Welcomes U2BRTHR To The Stage

The returns to Canada this time to Montreal for a 4 night run. This was the first of four nights that the band's setlist can be considered to be on normal rotations at this point. A couple of familiar rotations in "Electric Co, and "I will follow"  and "Ordinary Love" stayed in the set list.

Perhaps the most interesting part of the evening Bono brings Mark Baker to the stage, any dedicated U2 fan knows Mark as @U2Brthr has an amazing documentary Mark was on the stage to film "Meerkat" Elevation.  We reached out to Mark to get a quote and he had this to say "I haven't left the MTL residence yet.  I fluctuate from ear to ear smiling or tear swelling. Barely slept. Too surreal." Truly an amazing evening for this dedicated U2 fan.
