how did bono let this happen?
you know that if u2 is giving a free concert, there’s going to be trouble. 10,000 tickets were gone in 3 hours. mtv, which was sponsoring the show as part of this year’s mtv europe music awards, selected the location (brandenburg gate in berlin) to commemorate 20 years of the berlin wall coming down. so what do they do? they decide to put up a wall. for crowd control, they built a 12ft metal structure and covered it with white tarp to block the view of the stage from the street to prevent non-ticket holders from crowding on the streets. mtv, not recognizing the irony, said it installed the wall “around the site to ensure the safety and security of the attendees at the event as well as residents and businesses in the area.”
for those who had to settled for watching u2’s performance on the mtv awards show, they were were left with disappointment. only one song from their 20 minute concert aired. oh, and david hasselhoff co-presented. imaging having to sit through that for one song.
