Talking of collaborations, and indeed covers, U2 and Green Day are to debut their previously reported cover of The Skids' 1978 release 'The Saints Are Coming' live at the New Orleans Superdome on 25 Sep, before the game between The Saints and Atlanta Falcons (whoever they are). The performance marks the venue's official reopening after it was forced to close because of Hurricane Katrina. As previously reported, the song is to be released as a charity single in aid of Music Rising, a fund co-created by The Edge to help musicians affected by the disaster in New Orleans.
