The songs that are played before the start of Vertigo show

Hi guys,

anyone knows what songs are played before the start of the Vertigo show when we are waiting in the stadium?

I know just these:
The Modest Mouse - Float On
The Clash - Rock The Casbah
Siouxsie And The Banshees - Christine
Bloc Party - Like Drinking Poison
The Killers - Mr. Brightside
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
Gorrilaz - Feel Good
The Cure - ........... (I don't know the name of the song, if anyone knows tell me please)
Then I think there's Interpol, Snow Patrol and many others played for sure, but again I don't know the names of the songs.

Please, if anyone of you know some more songs and bands, post it here. I love nearly all of the songs that are played before the show. And it's great that U2 support many young bands also this way (I mean like The Killers, Bloc Party or Snow Patrol).

At the three shows I saw in the States, I also heard:

Green Day - American Idiot (heard this one just once)
Velvet Underground - Rock and Roll

And of course, Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Thanks AtomicBono for correcting me.

corianderstem, yep sure, Arcade Fire's Wake Up for sure! But that's an intro.
And what a great intro to the U2 show!!!

The Cure - A Forest

The Cure - In between days ... played this in Brussels and Amsterdam

 

[ZBYCH]

thank for the iMix... but as I'm listetning to those songs I fiugure that they must have changed the PA since US dates... since the songs don't match what I've heard .... I've been to 8 shows in Europe and the following songs were played at all shows!:

The Clash - Rock The Cashbak
The Cure - Inbetween Days
Knack - My Sharona
The Killers - Mr.Brightside (always biggest cheer
Gorillaz - Feel Good
Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
D.Bowie - Rebel Rebel

the ones below at least 6-7 times:

Beck - E-Pro
Modest Mouse - Float On (thanks fot this one!)
The Roots - The Seed (thanks for this one too!)
Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood #2 (Laika)
MIA - Amazon

I'm not sure about this one but at least 2 times:

Morrissey - Irish Blood, English Heart

still I'm looking for some tunes, which I melodies I have in my mind... but none yet matched what you guys listed here (thanks anyway!)

I guess I heard:

Here Comes The Sun form The Beatles also (once.. Vienna or Paris)

 

[annatheduck]

songs i heard in oslo i believe haven't been mentioned:

beach boys - good vibrations
bloc party - helicopter, like eating glass, blue light, compliments
blur - girls & boys
interpol - evil
radiohead - idiotique
the rapture - house of jealous lovers
the white stripes - blue orchid, forever for her (is over for me)

 

[Neilz]

bloc party - helicopter, like eating glass, blue light, compliments

I hope you mean that you've heard all of these on different dates?
