Edge at Acura Stage - April 29, 2006

SUPPORT http://www.musicrising.org/
Two hours later of 'Stand By Me', Edge joined the Dave Matthews Band at the Acura Stage to trade guitar solos with Matthews on one song, 'Smooth Rider'. Midway through his set, Matthews announced a special guest, and out strutted U2's The Edge, bearing a Les Paul guitar and his trademark skull cap."It looks like it's the biggest it's ever been, biggest ever," said David Oestreicher, president of the festival's board of directors, pulling out his earplugs between musical numbers....U2 guitarist The Edge, gets a hug from Dave Matthews at the end of a set at Saturday's edition of Jazzfest.

"A windy and blustry day, sand was blowing all around the backstage area of the main stage. The Sub Dudes were playing and Dave Matthews was on deck. Edge from U2 and Dallas were there. The wind blew and the sky began to turn dark. 5-10 inches of rain, 50 mile an hour winds and hail, all before midnight. A tornado watch was in effect." by http://www.bittermancircle.com/2006/04/29.html#a724

"Matthews traded his standard acoustic guitar for an electric to square off with The Edge on "Smooth Rider." Matthews strummed chords as The Edge soloed with bluesy notes on a Les Paul guitar, far removed from his usual U2 heroics. The Dave Matthews Band finally wrapped it up at 7:22 p.m., as the first drops of rain dusted the Fair Grounds, as if on cue" by http://www.nola.com/entertainment/t-p/index.ssf?/base/entertainment-1/1146547...
