Drenching the famous monument in emerald green light, the band delivered a rousing Sunday Bloody Sunday , as a fan's Tricolour fluttered in the night air.
The anthem to the lost lives of 1972 hit an emotional chord with Berliners on a spot where, just two decades ago, a shoot-to-kill policy was in operation.
As the city kicks off five days of celebrations to mark the fall of the wall here in 1989, the former no man's land was transformed into one man's land: that man being Bono.
U2 – by special request of Berlin's mayor – took to the stage in the city and launched into One. On what was once a cold war divide, Bono sang that "only love can heal such a scar".
They marched through Magnificent , from their new album, before Sunday Bloody Sunday was greeted with roaring approval, and ample support from rapper Jay-Z.
Setlist:
1. One
2. Magnificent
3. Sunday Bloody Sunday + Get Up Stand Up (with Jay-Z
