U2 wrapped up their residency at Las Vegas’ Sphere last night (March 2) by playing alongside Daniel Lanois and a pre-recorded Neil Finn.Lanois, who co-produced the band’s classic albums ‘The Joshua Tree’ and ‘Achtung Baby’, joined them on stage to play the latter record’s ‘One’.Additionally, U2 played a version of Crowded House’s ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’, a song they have been covering at recent shows.
For this farewell performance, however, they were joined by the song’s writer Neil Finn, albeit virtually.Watch the performances of both tracks below.“The other day we got a beautiful e-mail from Neil Finn, who wrote this bewilderingly beautiful song,” Bono said ahead of ‘Don’t Dream It’s Over’. “Attached to the e-mail was a version of the song he said we could play whenever we wanted.
