i think the sheet at the back fell down and so they cut Walk On.
The names were still going up but there was no screen!

The screen didn't fall; it was dropped to celebrate LIFE and moving on into joy!!!! What an incredible performance!!!!! It was wonderful and heartfelt and joyous and uplifting! I hope all this mourning and sorrow can now finally be over and we can move on into living!

I was wondering where Walk On was, but maybe they decided to count MLK as one song?

Streets was unbelievable. That song is not of this earth. I wasn't expecting them to play it. I actually heard myself say "Oh my God" when Edge started in with the guitar.
I have an observation which I hope no one is offended by--either my observation or my reaction to it. When the screen dropped, I couldn't help thinking, because of the names scrolling across it and the shape of the screen, that it looked exactly like one of the WTC towers collapsing. Could that possibly have been intentional, or is it just my weird way of seeing it? I don't know if anyone else saw it that way but I would be surprised if no one did. I found that extremely disturbing. Am I way off in one way or another?

MLK was awesome!!!!!!!!! I thought they did a great job. It was the first Super Bowl halftime that wasn;'t cheesy and overdone.

My girlfriend pointed that out to me. At first, I was thinking "no way", but on second thought, it may have been. I dunno.

I thought the same thing and said it to my sister and she just looked at me and said only U2 would put that much meaning and thought into a Super Bowl half time. It was very powerful.

If that was actually the intention, I didn't like it--the tower collapsing thing, that is. Too much, in my opinion. But who knows, maybe that wasn't the intention.

Well, I have finally semi-recovered from a day of too much wine/food and that AMAZING performance, U2 ROCKED!!! That was so unbelievable, I loved it! I just watched it 3-4 more times....keeps getting better and better, I swear! MLK! NO WAY!!! wowwowwow
Their tribute was so emotional, really, my Mom and her friends called me and my mom was crying during the names scroll...it really touched them- So think they did a great job touching even people that are not like "us"! lol
My favorite parts were "Dance in the Louisana rain" and the Bono heart at the end, like he did on the 3rd leg...love that Bono heart! I also thought the names was intense, even more than at the concerts, just so many so high up. Wow- I got multiple chills throughout their performance...
And they looked great!
So, my question for you all now is what was Bono's prayer tonite before Streets? My mom asked me what he said exactly and I just watched it over and over and still can't get all the words. Anyone understand it all?
Cheers!

Unreal perofromance...MLK. What a great suprise.
I don't think the screen falling had anything to do with the WTC towers falling...that would have been tasteless. Just coincidence....

I think it's safe to say that Larry did not escape the notice of any of us female fans...

That that was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen on live Television. It was so inspired! I like the comments that have been made about it being "transcendent" and "not of this world" because I agree entirely. All i wanted to do was jump up and down in my living room and 'rejoice and be glad' (as the song goes), but had to restrain myself as to not scare my parents. Even my dad who usually doesnt dig this sort of thimg (rock n roll), was impressed. He said Bono was "magnetic" and that the part with the names on the banner was "beautiful." I was so proud of U2.
I think what Bono said prior to Streets was something to the effect of ..Lord, loosen my lips ... that they may praise you ...
It was hard to hear exactly. I believe its from the Psalms.
Also, about the screen which dropped towards the end. I believe that was also intentional and i thought it was very symbolic and a poignant statement even though at first I thought it was contradictory. The way I see it is that after dwelling on the names and the enormous sense of loss, there is this big release. All the names fall as the screen falls and the sight is visually reminiscent of the towers falling. But the effect is completely the opposite because the screen almost seems to vanish into a white light and with the music so uplifting it all goes up again--up to Heaven, like a giant prayer. And we can breathe easy again and move on. That's my take. Sorry if i got carried away here but this whole thing has got me very excited.

It was Psalm 51:15, repeated twice.
O Lord, open my lips,
that my mouth show forth thy praise.
These are the words that break the silence every morning in monasteries before praise is sung.
