During the middle section, Bono revealed that the band plans to focus on a different album (or other people’s albums, he joked) during that section, much like Taylor Swift’s “secret songs” section of the Tour of the eras.
Variety speculates that the band may have gone with Rattle and Hum songs on opening night because the album’s producer Jimmy Iovine was in the audience, along with stars like Kate Hudson, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, as well as Paul McCartney.
U2 also snuck snippets of three Beatles songs that made it into the set in their honor, including “Love Me Do,” “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (reprise)” and “Blackbird.”
They also mocked Elvis Presley’s classic “Love Me Tender,” Frank Sinatra’s hit “My Way,” Prince’s “Purple Rain,” Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” and “Dancing in the Moonlight” by Thin Lizzy.
Bono also emotionally dedicated a song to the family, friends and doctor of the late Jimmy Buffett, who were there.
