U2 - Superbowl Halftime Show

After seeing a U2 concert in New York in October, 2001, NFL officials decided U2 was the band they wanted to perform at halftime of Super Bowl XXXVI. The league had been planning a patriotic-theme for the game to pay tribute to and remember the events of September 11th. U2 played "Beautiful Day", then "MLK" which led directly into "Where the Streets Have No Name." The names of the victims of September 11th scrolled heavenward for most of MLK and Streets.
