After the Grammies and the Brits, U2 took their opening act-performance to Berlin’s Echo Awards, adapting the background visuals for the night, with some German and European flag images reminiscent of their Zooropa days.

Starting out behind the band, Bono threw familiar shapes against the backdrop of a large screen showing images – different from those used in the video – and the lyrics to the song. Later he moved out in front near the crowd, removing his trademark shades to reveal his new mascara-look while belting out the final bars of the song: ‘Let me in the sound, let me in the sound…’

Unfortunately, the crew didn’t hear his plea. Sound is apparently not the main priority for the Grammy Awards organisation.
