" Sunday Bloody Sunday " was played at every concert on the 2001 Elevation and 2005 – 2006 Vertigo tours . Performances in 2001 frequently included parts of Bob Marley 's " Get Up , Stand Up " and " Johnny Was " . A memorable mid-song message referencing the Omagh bombing of 1998 ( " Turn this song into a prayer ! " ) is captured on the live DVD '' U2 Go Home : Live from Slane Castle '' . In concerts in New York City after the September 11 , 2001 attacks , the " no more ! " interlude was replaced by Bono holding an American flag
