The song that was used RIGHT before they took the stage, blasted louder than the other songs, was the Arcade Fire's "Wake Up," and it was PERFECT.

Preshow Tunes?
I know it has been listed somewhere, but can someone list the pre-show warmup song the band has been playing prior to taking the stage?
I've read that they've played:
Money - Pink Floyd
Beastie Boys - Check It Out
Smiths - Panic
Green Day - American Idiot
I've also heard that they play an Arcade Fire song? Which one? What's the name of that tune?

a Lou Reed song I can't remember right now
a Led Zep song I've blocked
There were others, but I can't think of them now.
The REM cover is very forgettable. zzzzzzz........

They don't really play a song, instead Bono starts saying "Everyone" in various voice tones.

If you mean the one before the "Everyone"s, I think it's by the Arcade Fire. I believe the title of the song is "Wake Up"?

Yup, Wake Up by Arcade Fire. Download it, it's awesome.

Yup, Wake Up by Arcade Fire. BUY it, it's awesome.
If everyone downloads everything these bands won't get a second album.
You reap what you sow.
Spend some cash cheapasses.
That album is worth 20 bucks let alone the 12.99 you can find it for.

on the same note - does anyone know who does the cover of ITEOTWAWKI(AIFF)?
Wow - and I thought acronyms like HTDAAB, ATYCLB, SYCMIOYO and SIAMYCGOO were long
EDIT - the cover i refer to is the one they play after the lights come up at the end of the show.

I was talking about downloading from iTunes, not for free. So hey, if they turn out to be well downloaded on iTunes, I think it's safe to say that they'll be ok. Albeit .99 at a time, the check is still headed to them. People are far more willing to spend a dollar on a song than 15 or so on an entire cd that they are unsure of. I understand the whole "appreciate the whole album" idea and all, but I think that iTunes does wonders for exposure for the bands and experimentation for the listeners. If you like more than two or three songs, then go out and buy the cd - and then they're making their money twice!

Los Angeles 1--Does anyone know the song just before the show started?
I was at Staples Center on Tuesday, 4/5. Awesome, awesome show!
Does anyone know the band/song that was played just before U2 took to the stage? It seemed to have singing groups, almost like an actual choir, overlapping each other.
It was a cool song and I'd like to check it out further.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
