Two new tracks from Songs Of Innocence had their live premieres Wednesday night as U2 spent almost the full two hours on Jo Whiley's show on BBC Radio 2.
The band performed "Cedarwood Road" and "Song For Someone" for the first time, with both songs getting some help from an in-studio string quintet. Five songs were performed overall -- the others being acoustic versions of "The Miracle" and "Every Breaking Wave," along with "Stuck In A Moment" with Edge playing piano.
You can see the full recap on our new @U2 Tours site. You can listen back via the BBC's website, but you'll only have four weeks to listen.
There wasn't much news to come from the interview segments, but near the end of the show, The Edge had this to say about U2's tour plans for 2015: "We are definitely going out on the road with this album next year. We don't know exact dates yet. Indoors. Definitely starting smaller. This is about the songs -- this album and this tour."
