jimkerrs: The Dalton Brothers aka U2 performing Lost Highway in Los Angeles, 1987 During the 3rd leg of Joshua Tree tour which covered North America in 1987, U2 developed an interesting set of alter egos, when they performed as a country and western band known as The Dalton Brothers or sometimes simply The Daltons. This band consisted of four apparently ‘seasoned’ musicians: Betty Dalton (Adam), Luke Dalton (Edge), Alton Dalton (Bono) and Duke Dalton (Larry). Playing such large outdoor venues, many fans didn’t actually realize at first that the strange pseudo country and western band on stage was, in fact, U2, especially if they were a long way from the stage. Some fans went as far as booing them, thinking that they were a bunch of amateurs not fit to share a stage with the mighty U2. -- source link
