Wake Up song?

What band does that song "Wake Up" right before U2 comes on?

[kakvox]

Again, The Arcade Fire put out an amazing album called Funeral in 2004. I really recommend everyone here to pick up a copy.

 

[Sikris]

[knox]

I know that the song right before Everyone is Wake Up, by the Arcade Fire.

[jrjunior31]

[EvilBono]

In addition to The Arcade Fire - Wake UP, they also played Interpol and The Killers - at least at the Arizona shows.

This would go down rather well at the Manchester shows,so if anybody from the u2 camp is reading this please please please play This wonderful song again

 

[Cyril]

Here are a few songs that were played before the "Everyeone":

Interpol - Obstacle 1
REM - Leaving New York
David Bowie - Rebel Rebel
Modest Mouse - Float On
Coldplay - Clocks (was played at San Jose I, but not San Jose II)
Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Cheers,

And a version of REM's "It's the end of the world as we know it" plays at the very end. Anyone know the artist performing it? I quite like it!

 

[bort269]

sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but what is the deal with the

"EVERYONE.... EVERYONE... EV--ERY-ONE!!!!"

before the opening song?

Is it from a movie? From a song? It sounds like MacPhisto or something?

I figure that I am totally missing something obvious and I don't want to be an idiot!!

 

[bort269]

maybe I am not missing something obvious...

Any thoughts on the significance of the

"EVERYONE!!!"

before the show starts?

For some reason it reminds me of the
"all of this... all of this can be yours" from Vertigo,
but I have no idea why!

The Song Before U2 takes the stage?

Maybe I already missed this discussion, but what is that?

It's the "Ahhhhh ahhhhhh" thing. It's cool. Gets me pumped up. Or maybe it's just the fact that U2 is seconds from taking the stage, but either way I'd like to find it.

Thanks

It's by Arcade Fire, I believe it's called Wake Up, the band name is correct.

 

[NHFL9]

Wake Up by Arcade Fire I believe.

amazing song

(be sure to change ysi to "you send it" without the spaces)

 

[oceane]

Yes, it's 'Wake Up' by Arcade Fire. It's on their album 'Funeral', which is absolutely phenomenal. Every single song is amazing, 'Wake Up' is not even the best one. I strongly advice anyone here that does not know this band yet to go buy their album right now. I cannot overstate how good it is, I just bought it this week and I can't stop listening to it (that doesn't happen to me very often).
