U2 had one of their best weekends in a pretty long time. The Bonnaroo appearance on Friday night by all accounts was the first appearance for U2 at Roo, and the boys did not disappoint fans, scheduled for a 90-minute performance the came in and handled business with an abbreviated Joshua Tree Tour and played for about 1.45. Bono said, Thanks for "getting out of your tents and caravans and giving us a night we'll never, ever forget!" He also joked, "What an extraordinary thing Bonnaroo is, thank you for naming it after me."
