Question
-----------------------I thought similar, but this same piece was used during an awards show( history of tv), where Helen Hunt was introducing the seg. and this piece played all throughout. I don't think it's U2, because there's no singing in it what so ever, though it does sound like them. Thanks for your efforts.

Answer -
Hello Aaron,

I'm pretty sure that the beginning of the song "Where The Streets Have No Name" by U2 was used for that promo.

Thanks for your question,
Crystal

Answer
Hello again,

Maybe there is an instrumental version of that particular U2 song. It's possible that U2 made one available for TV use. I'll search around some more and maybe I'll turn up something. Odds are slim though, which I'm sure you know.

Sorry I could not help you and give you a definite answer.

Expertise

I have seen all 10 seasons of 90210 and have every episode on tape to locate answers. My expertise is on the first 6 seasons and the characters Brenda and Dylan, but I will attempt to answer any question pertaining to the show. Please no scene/dialogue questions because they are very time-consuming and frustrating. However, I will be happy to clarify misunderstood dialogue due to whispering and such if I'm able to. I will attempt to answer any song question for the original airdates and syndication. NO DVD SONG QUESTIONS PLEASE. Please see my "Life Experience" in my profile for song question updates, it may pertain to your question.

Experience

I have every single episode on tape to find the answers. I watched and taped the show religiously. (All requests for copies of my videotapes/episodes will be declined.)
Update: The song used in "Crunch Time" during David's meth addiction is "Living In A Fantasy" by The Rainbow Band. Many thanks to the fellow 90210 Fan that contacted me with the info when they tracked it down. Also, the song used in "One Wedding and a Funeral" that Dylan & Toni dance to is "Nobody Knows Me" by Lyle Lovett. Same song is used during the scene where Dylan is crying while holding the wedding dress and then kitten. David & Donna's wedding song is "Spend My Life With You" by Eric Benet & Tamia. Same song was Steve & Janet's wedding song.

Education/Credentials
Pertaining to BH90210: fan since original airing on Fox going back to 1991. Saw 1st season from reruns & syndication.
