What's that song they came out to? / Intro Songs?

[stratocaster]

Spolier-warning, here's a list of the Pre-show songs being played over the PA-system that I saw over on u2log.com:

Thank you SO much!!!!
I've been racking my brain trying to work out which Radiohead song it was.

Legend!

Kingdom

YouTube - NEW U2 SONG KINGDOM... INTRO U2 360 TOUR

Sounds like an Audacity copy/paste job to me... I doubt that's the full song.

Strange list. It's certainly not i nthe right order. And Muse??? I never heard that one!

MGMT's is two songs before Bowie, the Fratelli's are the 45 minute mark before the show starts.

I agree, it's clearly not the version they come out to.

 

[learn2kneel]

Not sure if this has been posted, but at Chicago they played a lot of M83's Saturdays=Youth and pretty much all of TV on the Radio - Dear Science before the show. Great selections!

Preshow songs played over PA

I realize there's a thread for this, but I can tell that the songs they are playing over the PA are different now. Can someone rattle off a list of pre-show songs (5:30Pm on) that were played over the PA?? Specifically, I'm looking for a female-vocal track. Not M83 "skin of the night" tho

 

[alison0313]

bababooey I was coming here to ask that as well. It was playing 2 songs before Snow Patrol took the stage. It was really catchy, but I can't remember the lyrics to look it up

 

[redhotswami]

Snow Patrol come onto stage to Jump In The Pool by Friendly Fires. That's all I've got...

 

[alison0313]

Just found what I was looking for in this thread: La Roux – In For The Kill (Skream remix) was it.

 

[gvox]

there were at least 2 or 3 M83 songs or likely even more played in Toronto. I think in a row lol. I know We Own the Sky and Kim and Jessie were definitely played.

 

[GibsonGirl]

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS. That song before Breathe is a U2 song?! When I heard it at the show on Thursday, I thought it sounded awesome and wanted to find out who performed it. It seemed a bit U2-ish to me, but I figured it sounded so different to anything they'd done recently that it couldn't be them. This is what I get for avoiding Interference.

Songs of Ascent can't come soon enough...

 

[DesiresFire27]

Did they play La Roux Bulletproof

and Heavy Cross by The Gossip

in Toronto...was the intro music different... I think it was.

That Kingdom song is beautiful!!

 

[powerhour24]

Dude, what we've heard online does nothing for the song, its so amazing to hear in person... especially because its the signal the band is coming on stage.

They did play La Roux's "In for the Kill" and I think "Bulletproof", but I'm not quite sure.

"Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was also a new song added along with the Cold War Kids' "We Used to Vacation".

And yes, a couple of M83 songs were added to the mix this time around.

It's a magical moment.

 

[SpaceBoy]

I really do love that song, and hope the will officially release it at some point. It's a wonderful, dreamlike, passengers-esque piece with percussion very similar to that of Plot 180. The bizarre, sliding string sounds toward the end are awesome as well.

 

[Canadiens1131]

The White Lies - Death song is not a remix; it's the original.

Concert opening

Hi guys!

I am from Oz and i`m wanting to know how U2 enter the stage on this tour, mainly the current leg in the US. I have heard they are opening with Magnificent now.
I mean, when they opened the Vertigo tour here in 06 the song Wake Up was playing on the speakers, the lights went out and then there was a really cool build up to City Of Blinding Lights.
If someone who`s been could let me know that would be cool!

Cheers, Mikie.

Most shows have started with 'Breathe'. Magnificent has opened a few shows though.

Correction: Magnificent has opened just one show.

Just substitute a few words here and there, pretty much the same concept

 

[Am I Zoo]

Saw the Charlottesville show last night and dug the music that Muse used as their intro. It was a classical piece. I'm thinking something by Prokofiev. Anyone know what this thing is?

 

[last unicorn]

I don't know, but usually they use the ouverture to Figaro's wedding, which is by Mozart.

 

[Am I Zoo]

Well, they've made a change, because that definitely wasn't Mozart. This is a a darker piece. Very 20th-century Russian-sounding.

Anybody?

 

[Am I Zoo]

Just found the answer to my own question. Muse's intro music is Prokofiev's "Dance of the Knights" from his ballet of Romeo & Juliet.

That's correct. They also used that on the previous tour and can also be seen on the H.A.A.R.P. Dvd.

 

[last unicorn]

My H. A. A. R. P. CD has Mozart

But yes, just checked the Muse board, and they say it's Dance of the Knights.

 

[last unicorn]

You're right, it's Prokoviev

I couldn't remember and confused the album with somthing else.

Great tune, though
