Bono and The Edge performed a pair of songs with B.B. King [ tickets ] and an all-star ensemble at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday (10/26).

The event was the annual Thelonious Monk gala, a multi-themed event that serves the dual purpose of showcasing some of the top young talent being schooled in the Monk Institute of Jazz and a splashy concert event drawing top names across the musical spectrum.

This year's concert featured performances by Robert Cray, Cassandra Wilson, Keb 'Mo, Lee Ritenour, Herbie Hancock [ tickets ] and Poncho Sanchez among others.

But the highlight and finale of the evening was U2 [ tickets ] members Bono and Edge taking the stage with blues legend B.B King for a split version of "When Love Comes To Town," starting with the rock version immortalized in the 1988 U2 film and album "Rattle & Hum," and followed by a taste of King's arrangement, which has been a late-set romp at most of his shows since then.

Following the song, most of the concert cast took the stage with King for a group take of "Let The Good Times Roll," which pulled Bono and Edge from the wings again by the first verse.
