U2 Marks 50 Years Since Mullen Jr. Notice
U2 returned to Mount Temple High School for a special career concert marking 50 years since Larry Mullen Jr. posted a message seeking musicians.
Larry Mullen Jr, 50 years ago, posted a message reading drummer seeks musicians on the notice board at Mount Temple High School in Dublin. U2 marked the 50th anniversary with a special career concert at the same school. U2 opened the concert with I Will Follow and then performed songs including Vertigo, Beautiful Day and Out Of Control.
Bono praised Mullen Jr as the person who put the note on the notice board, while Adam Clayton was introduced in a humorous manner. The school also hosted the first live performance of U2s new single Silencio. During a performance of One, young harp, violin and viola musicians who had received training through the Music Generation programme joined U2.
Before performing at the school, The Edge described the experience of being back there as amazing. U2 are preparing to release the album Carnaval de Luz on November 13. Adam Clayton described Carnaval de Luz as an extraordinary collection of songs that is the result of 50 years of work.
