I wonder if it's going to be the same location as the Dave Chappelle/Michel Gondry film/concert?

 

wow..my sister goes to NYU...if it was in Washington Square that would be awesome...and for the recrod, i dont know which park/square is which nayways...

 

It's Empire Fulton Ferry State Park in Bk: http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2004/11/22/u2s_free_concert_in_brooklyn_today.php

If you're not lucky enough to get a ticket, you could, maybe, look down on the concert from Brooklyn or Manhattan Bridge. It's a nice park, btw. Great view of East River and the two bridges.

Before Ferry St. Park, they're on the back of a truck playing all around the city:

If you scroll down to the comments section, you can pretty much track their movement downtown: http://www.gothamist.com/archives/2004/11/22/u2s_free_concert_in_brooklyn_today.php

My guess is that their truck will take them to one of the piers downtown, and they'll arrive at the park on boat. Can't wait to see this on TV.

Too bad I'm on 6th Avenue - looks llike they drove down just one avenue away.

 

Well that was fun.
I showed up without a ticket and got in anyway, great to see them with the backdrop of the bridge and the skyline.
They opened with 'Vertigo', then a bunch of tunes from the new album into 'Beautiful Day' and 'I Will Follow'. Encore: 'Out of Control' and 'Vertigo'(again).
