Just a little over a year since Hurricane Katrina devastated the homes and livelihoods, but not the hearts and spirit of the people of New Orleans, the city was alive with joy last night, celebrating both the grand reopening of the Louisiana Superdome and a triumphant 23-2 victory win for their hometown football team, the Louisiana Saints, over the Atlanta Falcons!
....Championing the festive occasion, a sold out crowd filled the new and improved beloved sports stadium which also welcomed a host of glittering stars and celebrities, including....
....GREEN DAY and U2, who, after much fanfare regarding their current musical dream team stint recording a song duet in the studio together, benefiting the hurricane relief effort, had the already cheering crowd rising to the occasion with their gala, celebratory performance!
....The 2 super group bands, always ready to step up to the plate on behalf of social activism and causes, (both rock groups performed at last year's global benefit concert, Live 8!), performed their reworking and cover of "The Saints Are Coming", the classic 1978 song by Scottish punk band, The Skids!!!!
The bands were joined onstage by a New Orleans brass band with arrangements orchestrated by Pink Floyd Producer, Bob Ezrin!
....GREEN DAY opened the show with their elegiac hit, "Wake Me Up When September Ends"!....
....U2 took and carried the baton by performing the majestic and uplifting "Beautiful Day", which they also performed at Live 8 and which could not have been more befitting the day!....
The world's 2 biggest bands ROCKED all of New Orleans with their live musical performance together effervescing both their and the crowd's rousing enthusiasm, honoring and uplifting, in the spirit of the day as confetti fell upon and covered the fans and Superdome!
The 2 bands have already been enjoying collaborating together and recording "The Saints Are Coming" for U2's guitarist, The Edge's, Music Rising, a charity established to "provide replacement instruments to more than 2,000 musicians who lost theirs in the flooding."
The Goo Goo Dolls also joined in and performed at the rockin' party, as well as Director Spike Lee, and New Orleans natives and musical gems, Harry Connick, Jr. and Branford Marsalis, who all attended the momentous celebration.
