The acoustic set included U2's "Yahweh," "Ordinary World," and "Walk On," as well as a cover of Leonard Cohen's "If It Be Your Will." As he spoke to the audience, The Edge also alluded to Bono: "When they asked me if I wanted to become the first contemporary artist to play in the Sistine Chapel, I didn't know what to say because usually there's this other guy who sings" Below, you can watch some fan shot videos.
