About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh. My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on Sep 6, 2006 in Appearances | Comments Off

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 6 (UPI) — The NFL Network will mark the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks by re-airing the Super Bowl XXXVI half-time show featuring Irish rockers U2.

U2 performing "Beautiful Day," "MLK" and "The Streets Have No Name" with the names of the victims scrolling on a floor-to-ceiling banner will be televised during "NFL Total Access," the network said in a news release Wednesday.

"This is one of the most memorable and meaningful half-time performances in the history of Super Bowl," the network’s Charles Coplin said. "As we look back on the five years since 9/11 we felt our fans would enjoy this uplifting show."

The Feb. 3, 2002 championship game at New Orleans’ Louisiana Superdome saw the New England Patriots beat the St. Louis Rams 20-17. It was originally broadcast on Fox TV.
