U2 Opens Tour with Michael Jackson Tribute
It's really amazing to hear how many rockers are paying tribute to Michael Jackson. See U2 opening night setlist, footage here...
U2 launched their 360° Tour on Tuesday June 30 in Barcelona, Spain, delivering a 22-song set to about 90,000 concertgoers. During the show, the band conducted a chat with astronauts in the International Space Station that was beamed to the futuristic stage's state-of-the-art video screen.
U2 also used their opening night to pay tribute to Michael Jackson at the Barcelona Nou Camp Stadium by covering two of the late singer's biggest songs during an epic set.
Before playing Angel Of Harlem, which the band wrote to honor R&B pioneer Billie Holiday, Bono told the crowd that they were going to perform it in memory of Michael Jackson.
What no one perhaps expected, however, was that Bono would weave snippets Jackson's songs, Man In The Mirror and Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (sung in a falsetto!), into the extended finish.
U2 played over 20 songs during their set, career-spanning hits such as Sunday Bloody Sunday, Where The Streets Have No Name and Pride (In The Name Of Love), along with seven tracks from their recent album No Line On The Horizon.
