According to this Geldof was the highlight of the NESTA event at Royal Festival Hall.  There is a video, which I haven't yet watched, if you click on the link for that item (at the bottom of the page):

You can here the whole speech on audio at

http://www.nesta.org.uk/innovation-edge-incentivising-innovation/?playaudio=1
The introduction is quite funny. He was picked up at the airport and sped through town on a motorbike.  He says he was just back from Cologne, where he played to millions. Actually, he was just back from Bonn where he played to 5000. Near enough I suppose.smile.gif Why they played Bono when he came on, I don't know.

It looks like the 2 videos are the same.

I think that was a Bob joke/sarcasm that he played to millions 'as usual'.    Bob is funny as ever - 'Bono is short and fat, and I'm not'...

What he did say which was wrong was about the Rats - how he found he could write a few tunes, but was limited musically so he had to find a guitar player etc etc.  Didn't they find him?  He returned from Canada after being kicked out for being an illegal immigrant and his friends had started up a band and wanted him to be a manager etc - you know the story.

Interesting talk though and as ever beautifully delivered.biggrin

Now there's a fantasy! Bob in a set of motorcycle leathers smile.gif
He is a proficient motorcyclist himself too.
