This past weekend, U2 was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Not only did they do their current single (and iPod commercial), "Vertigo," and another song from their new albun, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" (in stores today), but they surprised the TV and live audience by closing the show with their classic, "I Will Follow," with lead singer Bono roaming the studio like he owned the joint, much to the delight of the woman in the front row who got a lap dance and cast member Amy Poehler who got quite a long hug.
At the end of the song, while closng credits rolled, Bono repeatedly said "live," probably a reference to the ill-fated Ashlee Simpson appearance on the show last month. Reportedly, the band did 3 more songs for the live audience after the show ended at 1 am.
See them perform "I Will Follow" on the show here.
