U2 performs at Super
Bowl XXXVI
February 2, 2002, in New Orleans
 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.
