The Green Guitar Correction/ Green Gretch



"What time is it in the world?"
"What time is it in the world?"
"It's show time!"
This is how U2 started the last half of the show..
and folks,
it was "Show Time!".
It was incredible!
The stadium was packed..
They opened with "Even Better than the Real Thing"
It was almost as if we were at the Achtung Baby show 20 years ago.
'The Fly", "Until the End of the World", "Stay, Far Away so Close".
"One"..
Miss Sarajevo was magical..
The show ended and they were waving to the crowd when Bono walked back to the mic..
To the surprise of the rest of the band and the crowd,
he pulled a guy up on stage who said he wanted to play a song for his wife..
Bono asked for his green Gretch he has played for 20 years..
The guy was nervous but Bono encouraged him to play..
He started playing "All I Want is You"..
Bono started singing..
the band joined in...obviously enjoying this impromptu moment..
Edge played piano..
The guy played it perfectly..
After the song was over Bono gave the guy his green Gretch guitar!!
The crowd went nuts..
