U2 play first of two gigs in Denmark; U2 boy Peter Rowen gives me my highest ranking article!

The “360” spaceship orbit is making its rounds in Europe, as U2 entertained another huge crowd last night, this time in Horsens, Denmark.

Danish supermodel and close friend Helena Christensen was in the house and got a special shout-out from Bono. “She has been working tirelessly for the ONE campaign as well as the Chernobyl Children's Prohect…please let me, in front of her family, toast Helena,” Bono said.

Of course Bono, ever the joker, injected some comic relief by adding, “I mean, what is it with rock stars and supermodels? We've so much in common- tall, thin, good-looking…,” he said.

Christensen wasn't the only famous face in the crowd. Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary were at the show and their presence was announced by Bono.

“New Year's Day” was played again, with new song “North Star” once again left out. I'm wondering if this is a permanent change or maybe for this month they'll keep “New Year's Day” and next month change it up and put “North Star” back in? Or maybe they'll take both songs out and add a new one in? “You'll Never Walk Alone” was added to “Walk On” last night, which I'm really happy about as I truly love when that's with it.

Snow Patrol marked their first night opening on the tour last night. They opened for U2 last year as well. The band plays in Horsens again today and don't hit the stage again until Friday when they play in Helsinki.

Two weeks ago I wrote about U2 Boy Peter Rowen letting his voice be heard about the plight of America's wild horses. The article ended up being my highest ranking article to date. I've been writing this page for over one year and never got this much traffic for one article. I'm so pleased that everyone wanted to hear about what Peter had to say about this crisis in the US and for the thoughtful comments about him.

My eternal thanks go to his promoter Karen Mayfield for giving me the chance to write about it and to Peter for being the generous man that he is. View the article here if you haven't checked it out yet and see my first interview with Peter here. My original interview actually got posted on this blog as well which is exciting (thanks again to Karen for the head's up).

Haven't given any “No Line” material some YouTube love yet, so here is “Magnificent” from Horsens last night. I always love that opening guitar riff from Edge in this song! Video by MrInsignificance.
