Performance notes: U2 play a surprise gig atop the BBC's headquarters at the end of Chris Evans' show on Radio 2. Thousands gather on the street below to watch. The band were originally going to finish with Vertigo (which was last played live in May 2007), but were given the chance to play a fourth song if they were quick. Our full story about this gig and two preceding interviews is located here. Setlist and comment provided by U2gigs.com.

It's quite a marvelous performance by the band when you consider the moment and the occasion in which it were spurred. It's very stripped down, which I like, and I think as far as the band experienced it, it was something quite special for the group.
Sound
Sound is fantastic. Broadcast and introduced by the BBC. Recording: FM Aerial Broadcast - 5 stars
Audience
A reported group of 5,000 were in attendance and the police stopped (re-routed) traffic which I think was fantastic. As John said after their famous rooftop gig, "I hope we passed the audition," I think in this case, U2 did.
Overall
Before the record comes out this is a fantastic gig of what will hopefully be a great summer of U2 shows all around the world.
