'Mother', 'Bring The Boys Back Home', and 'Outside The Wall' was re-recorded for the movie together with the new song 'When The Tigers Broke Free'.

'In The Flesh' was dubbed with a new vocal by Bob Geldof.

All other songs were remixed with various small changes. 'What Shall We Do Now', finally got space in the movie. But 'Hey You' and 'The Show Must Go On' was dropped. Hey You can be seen in a rough edit on the DVD version of the movie. An Overture was recorded, but not used.
