o   The band’s drummer, Larry Mullen Jr., was not able to be a part of the Vegas shows as he is recovering from surgery due to drumming injuries to his elbow, knees and neck.

o   Bono said during the show, “Not since October 1978 have we played a show without Larry Mullen…I would like to introduce you to the only man we would ask to stand …well, sit…in his shoes. It’s his birthday! It is Bram van den Berg.”

o   The Dutch drummer humbly stated, “Let there be no mistake: There is only one Larry Mullen Jr.”
