In a perfect world, The Edge would surprise everyone and sit in on Saturday's "An Evening of Irish Rock'' at the Weidner Center.
But since not even a whole lot of St. Patty's Day luck is likely to make that happen, Jeans 'n Classics is betting on something they have that Bono doesn't to pull off a retrospective of U2's biggest hits: the Green Bay Symphony Orchestra.
The symphonic rock outfit out of Canada will bring a five-piece band and two singers to the stage to join the local orchestra in celebrating the legacy of Irish music -- from Thin Lizzy to Van Morrison to an entire set of U2's music arranged by Jeans 'n Classic founder and guitarist Peter Brennan.
