Improv Everywhere do it again!

June 13th, 2005 at 3:39 pm By johnsee (Online)

Improv Everywhere have pulled off another brilliant mission. They held a fake U2 rooftop concert in New York, pulling a crowd of hundreds below…

Back in January, U2 announced the dates of their “Vertigo” world tour. I contemplated trying to purchase tickets for the May 21 gig at Madison Square Garden. I was a big U2 fan growing up, and MSG is right across the street from my apartment. I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the steep ticket price. The tickets to the event sold out literally in seconds. As I was thinking about the show, a few things occurred to me:

- U2 is playing right across the street from where I live.
- I have rooftop access at my four-story apartment building.
- U2 is famous for playing on rooftops.

It seemed obvious that “U2″ would have to play an unannounced gig on my rooftop an hour before the doors opened at the Garden.
