While playing in Toronto, Monday night, July 6, U2 tribute band ACROBAT gets their dream fulfilled as they were invited onto stage to play Desire. Great Job.

Thanks for posting this video Jim. To everyone who has liked and commented so far, thanks for the warm words. We had the time of our lives in that moment. None of it was planned by U2 as far as we could tell, we just tried to be near the "e" stage so they would see us. Desire was not on the setlist that night, but Bono made a split second decision and the rest is history. Many of you have wondered what it felt like and to be honest the best feeling of all was looking at our favourite band - Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry (especially!) and also looking out at the audience and seeing nothing but smiles, joy, happiness and pure energy. It's a moment we will never forget and we are forever grateful to U2 for gracing us with that experience. We made a multi-cam mix of it which shows the entire story a bit better, if you'd like to relive it as did the 12 or so other people who so kindly sent us their footage. Its here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bbxdn7WCz52WZ3k.html . Thanks again for all the love and support. Cheers, ACROBAT

Great to hear from you... I remember chatting with you at the hideout after the show... Someone asked earlier what Bono said to you at around the 4:09 mark... I heard "I've always wanted to meet you... " Then it sounded like "...Don't quit your work" but I could be wrong.

@@JimboSlimbo36 haha yes! He says: "I've always wanted to meet you - love your earlier work" - which to me was a witty play on him meeting his younger self (some have said theres a slight resemblance to "young Bono" haha). He's quick on his feet with the jokes!

Yet, people get this impression that Bono is this “ego maniac”, which is clearly not true. An ego maniac would never invite this sort of thing. David Lee Roth would never be having this kind of “nonsense”… that’s how he would see this I did watch something where Bono did say that during ZOO TV he got a bit lost in himself… which I can easily see happening playing those elaborate of shows for the first time. But I think Bono also noticed that in himself and was able to snap back to reality

I've loved this band since 1980. Being a 12 year old boy from Lafayette, Louisiana and drawing a kindred spirit with a band from Dublin, I've never given up on "my band". Their rise to incredible fame has not jaded their humanity. This video is proof that in a world where people struggle for significance, U2 reminds us all of the power in humility and honoring each other as humans. Cheers to music. Cheers to unity. Cheers for peace as a nation and as a planet.

Nothing is better than to meet your hero's & they turn out to be everything you want them to be and more. You guys must have felt the same way meeting, and actually playing with U2 on stage.

Sorry but If I paid the money to see U2, the last thing I would want to see his is a tribute band pretend to be them. Look I totally get the band was gracious to help them out etc, but I could see them at a bar for free on a weekday night. This is NOT a knock on the tribute band at all. Good for them. I just don't get it. That's all. I can totally respect if anyone thinks I'm wrong. I get it. What if the person who paid $ to see U2 and it's their favorite band and Desire was thier favorite song, and a tribute band sang it??? Now please don't compare this to if a another famous musician guest stars on one of their songs. That's a bit different.
