How many American pilots shot down over Vietnam in 1967?
You didn't specify North or South Vietnam nor which type of aircraft; choppers or fixed wing (or jets or propeller driven airplanes). However, Rolling Thunder ended in November '68 and by 1967 roughly 1,000 US jets/prop attack planes had been downed over both North & South VN.
No US Marine Corps jets were lost over the north because they only bombed in S VN to support their ground Marines. The only losses over the north were USN/USAF and assorted rescue choppers (like the Jolly Green giants).
'67/'68 was also a transitioning time frame for US aviation forces. The USN propeller driven A1 Skyraider (a dive bomber) was being phased out by the A4 Skyhawk (Senator McCain's jet) and A7 Corsair II...and all of the jets were being phased out by the F4 Phantom II Vietnam.
All of the jets in Vietnam meaning: F100 Super Sabre, F101 Voodoo, F102 Delta Dagger, F104 Starfighter, F105 Thunderchief, F8 Crusader and even the A6 Intruder. The Phantom could handle them all!
How much u2 charges per concert?
In order to asses the per-gig fee of a band like U2 you have to asses the sucess of the band. In the case of U2 we are dealing with one of the most sucessful rock bands of all time. They have millions of fans of a varying demographic in most countries.
They are known as a stadium band or " arena rockers " and usually play infront of an audience of 45,000 to 60,000 people. Multiply those figures by say an average ticket price of 85$ and you have a multi-million dollar figure. Ofcourse the venue has mega expenses to campaign a U2 show but you can rest assure that the band takes home well into the six figures.
My educated guess: $200,000 USD
When Eisenhower denied having such an aircraft, and the Soviets had the wreckage of the plane in their hanger. That was embarrassing!

The name of the song is "When love comes to town". It was written and composed by U2. However, U2 sings it with BB King.
================================================
Actually, those are two different songs from the same album (Rattle & Hum). When Love Comes to Town was in fact written as a tribute to BB King and he performed it with them live on the LoveTown tour in 1989-1990. But Love Rescue Me is a different song. On this song Bob Dylan sang background vocals on the album version. U2 has not played Love Rescue Me live since January 1990 but they soundchecked it earlier today in Sydney, Australia (December 13, 2010) before their 360 Tour show.

Both bands have a strong global following and have addressed personal and political themes in their music, but they differ in their musical styles and the eras they represent. Ultimately, while they share some common ground, each band has its distinct identity and contributions to music history.
