U2 Pays Tribute to Michael Jackson 

U2 paid tribute to Michael Jackson during their concert Tuesday night in Barcelona. The band dedicated the iconic "Angel of Harlem", originally written for Billie Holiday, to Michael and infused a medley of Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" and "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" into the end of the song.

Introducing the song, Bono described Michael as an "unspeakable talent." And, no Bono did not attempt to moonwalk - which makes sense, given there's not much water on the moon.

The Barcelona show, at Camp Nou stadium, drew over 90,000 fans and was the first of U2's 360 tour. The show set list featured several songs from "No Line on the Horizon and also included classics "One", "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "With or Without You." The tour dates continue through Europe this summer, with the first U.S. dates this September in Chicago.
