What’s that tune at the start and end of it?

I think the music at the start and end could be on the new album…certainly sounds new!
The effects after about 3 minutes look stunning, and I love the disco ball at the top of the tower! Memories of Zoo TV, even though I was 1/2 years old at the time!

Awesome new music…
Pumped for the tour!…
But every time I see McGuiness now I just see a man totally out of touch with the reality of today’s music, the industry, etc. He’s like an old housewife who just thinks that things should be the way they always were and that his kids are the most, best-lookingest kids on the block.
Not to mention he now dresses like Marlon Brando in “The Island of Dr. Moreau”. Yikes.
