Ahh, U2.com...always so timely. It's not a complete list either - they definitely played The Cure (forget the name of the tune) and Gorillaz' Feel Good, Inc. before U2 went on during the 3rd leg.

Songs played before U2 take the stage!

U2.com posted a semi-complete list, what are the omissions from it??

 

[pgv]

I swear i remember hearing smoke on the water before the support band came on in buffalo. Hmm.

 

[Diane L]

The Cure song was Just Like Heaven.

 

[nurse chrissi]

The Cure song was Just Like Heaven.

plus they also played In Between Days and A Forest from the Cure as well

and The Cutter from Echo And The Bunnymen

 

[corianderstem]

I'm pretty sure I heard Green Day's "American Idiot" before one of the Seattle shows.

 

[lrcllb]

any more songs guys??

 

[Bonochick]

The music played over the PA on the Vertigo tour was probably the best pre-show PA music I've ever heard at a show. It was the first time I actually found myself really enjoying the tunes while waiting.

 

[U2girl]

Surely, this is the start of the hype of the rest of the 4th leg shows.
A few weeks later, we'll be getting the instructions for the lottery...

 

[clifedge]

They definitely played Feel Good Inc. (by the Gorillaz) at some point before at least two of the shows I went to.

 

[clifedge]

Feel Good Inc. by the Gorillaz

 

[lrcllb]
