U2: Even Better than the Real Thing.......

Some comedy group had a fake U2 concert on a rooftop in New York. They got shut down by the police and hand-cuffed, but they did do it

| Some mad unit |
Back in January, U2 announced the dates of their “Vertigo” world tour. I contemplated trying to purchase tickets for the May 21 gig at Madison Square Garden. I was a big U2 fan growing up, and MSG is right across the street from my apartment. I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the steep ticket price. The tickets to the event sold out literally in seconds. As I was thinking about the show, a few things occurred to me:
- U2 is playing right across the street from where I live.
- I have rooftop access at my four-story apartment building.
- U2 is famous for playing on rooftops.
It seemed obvious that “U2” would have to play an unannounced gig on my rooftop an hour before the doors opened at the Garden.....
....The only instance of the band getting thrown by the open-air sound was in the third song when all of us were, on average, 2.5 bars off. "Even Better than the Real Thing" definitely was NOT.
