Our Stump Ax! contest closes in just 12 hours; now is your last chance to see if you can outsmart our setlistorian! http://bit.ly/oPuYdg
For those looking forward to our podcast introspective of the U2 360 Tour… it will come in two parts. Part One has a kickass musical end.

@stuinboca Please use team at u2gigs.com … the old one might be outdated by now :-)
@stuinboca Yes :-)
@stuinboca Ah, now I know you :-)
@stuinboca easiest is mailing them to team at u2gigs.com
@Birdman987 When have they been mailed? I got nothing fresh here to the team address. Matt
@dieZypresse Saving for the next tour ;-)
All my photos from the U2 360° tour can be found here on Flickr http://u2.gs/u2360photos #u2360
viewtoakill @u2gigs Bono also said work on the new material would resume after the work on the rerelease- I was asking about mercy specifically
viewtoakill @u2gigs spoke to Bono in Pittsburgh he said the ab rerelease had 4 gems from those sessions they were working on, heaven and hell being one

Your setlist is still wrong between Vertigo/SBS … RT @u2com From the final night of U2360, this is ‘Stay’. http://bit.ly/oTxmr9
Your setlist is still wrong … RT @u2com From the final night of U2360, this is ‘Stay’. http://bit.ly/oTxm
@iambradk Just added to the set. Thank you!
Here is a clip of U2’s crew on screen during Crazy Tonight in Moncton http://u2.gs/kE #u2360mon Thanks to Miryclay for the link!
RT @scatterolight: That U2.com video of 40 from Moncton is pretty sweet http://wp.me/p48Qm-rZ #U2360MON
Don’t forget to see if you can Stump Ax! We’ve had some awesome questions so far; can you outsmart him too? http://bit.ly/oPuYdg #U2
@popartist61 Oh yes :) It just looked a bit weird to me as well before I checked a bit deeper. Sometimes things can go wrong with stats :)
We are still collecting photos from all U2 tours. If you want to show your concert photos on U2gigs submit them here http://u2.gs/kD
Incomplete clip of U2’s Crazy Tonight from Moncton showing crew heads on screen instead of the band ones http://u2.gs/kC #u2360mon
@DaleRM Here is a short clip of Crazy Tonight from Moncton where you can see the crew heads: http://u2.gs/kC
@popartist61 Just checked and it seems to be ok this way with 31 cover songs. A Gavin Friday concert in 2009 has 7 of them alone.
@popartist61 something seems to be off with your stats. I’ll look into it. Matt
@Zoomo72 That’s because the Barcelona dress rehearsal does count as various date and not a regular 360 show.
Alisaura @u2gigs Here’s mine: u2gigs.com/myshows/23121 … Only saw 2 x Vertigo and 10 x 360 shows, yet more ATYCLB and AB than Bomb songs! No Pop. :(
Just finished recording the first U2Gigs podcast with Ax. Nice long conversation full of rambling detours. Hope you all enjoy the edit!
@DenDen1987 They were out of time in the War sessions and needed a closing song. Adam had left so Edge picked up the bass and created 40.
@Zoomo72 I counted 15 360 dates. Where are you getting the 16th from?
RT @360FromTheEdge: Thanks everyone! http://twitpic.com/5z0o1z
@MarsGirl75 Just added to our setlist. Thanks for this!
bethandbono @u2gigs Saw PopMart, Elevation, Vertigo once. Saw 360 10 times. What album have I heard the most songs from? Pop. Weird. http://t.co/viERyWK
natashcha @u2gigs that personal setlist tracker is so freakin cool! Also making me realize I need more shows next tour.
U2 Moncton photo set by Ayaz Asif http://u2.gs/kB #u2360mon
U2kingdom @u2gigs Mine’s also not that impressive: http://bit.ly/o7vA8B, but 32 different songs from 3 concerts of 1 tour is pretty good I think :)
To clarify, that last tweet is from Matkin.
Here is my fully updated personal U2 show chart (though it isn’t as impressive as some otehrs!) What is yours like?http://bit.ly/o7em6R
LaForceATL After using @u2gigs personal show stats tool I realized I have only heard 1 album in it’s entirety live and it’s U218.
The tour may be over, but the fun is not! Can you Stump Ax? http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
I like to think that the reason there was no stream yesterday is because everyone was hard at work designing #U2Monopoly #dreaming
@pvree Most times, but not all from memory.
anandadaydream Most fans compare concert battle wounds. Have bloodblister line on arm from being glued to set tweets- that count?? @achtung_meggie @u2gigs
For those asking, yes, Edge and Adam did switch instruments during 40. #U2360MON
With the 360° tour just ending you might want to create or update your personal U2 show charts here http://u2.gs/myshows
Here is our archive for all #u2360mon tweets http://u2.gs/u2360mon
Here is a clip of the last song of this amazing tour - 40 http://u2.gs/kA #u2360mon
Video of the speech, if anyone is interested. Last of the tour. http://www.youtube.com/w… Hoping one of 40 crops up soon
Watching a vid of the ISHF speech. Bono asks crowd to keep Ray Bailey, a trucker on the tour who was injured yesterday, in their thoughts
U2.com says Discotheque was played tonight in place of Crazy. Wouldn’t be the end of tour without one last cock-up! http://deck.ly/~6dUud
RT @troyspurgeon: Awesome show #u2360mon. Goodbye 360 tour! One last parting shot: http://ow.ly/i/f5Pf
farscape_one @u2gigs next tour should be the many rarities & random mixed up different setlist each night tour #SongVarietyOverStage
Staring at the Sun breaks the Pop trend of ‘ten less’; 130 appearances for it.
Please is the Pop song most represented at U2 concerts - including snippets, 166 appearances to 156 (Discotheque) and 146 (Gone)
Of course, that’s from known setlists.
Scarlet has now been played live more often than With a Shout or Tomorrow; just 20 back of Fire and 25 less than Rejoice
RT @Torawk: #U2360MON good concert with lots of mud… Glad I had rubber boats… http://yfrog.com/kkcj3mmj
And you know it’s time to go, through the sleet and driving snow… this is Ax, signing off. See you soon, probably with a Snippetwatch!
Thanks for the advice everyone; we’ll keep you posted :)
@ElevationRadio Hahaha!
ZooBaby91 @U2Gigs @DocH32 also had a good point- Tour started with Larry, then Adam, then Edge, then Bono- tour ended in reverse order. Touching.
Basically the part we are stuck on is how/where to upload it, and how to get the RSS feed thingy sorted so we can upload to iTunes
A good point from @Zoomo72: tour started with a drum solo (Breathe intro) and ended with one (40 outro). #U2360
@Birdman987 Matthias is our photo guy, send him an e-mail at [email protected]
I (Ax) have been so moved by the thanks from so many of you that I couldn’t reply in 140 characters. This is my thank-you: http://u2.gs/THX
@ElevationRadio Ax: For me, nothing beats Under A Blood Red Sky. But I’m an early U2 fanboy.
Soo… we’re considering making a podcast to discuss the tour. As Ax and I are novices about this, anybody tell us how/where to upload it?
viewtoakill @u2gigs I’m wondering if Adam and edge switched guitars for 40..any word?
Ax: Cannot describe how weird and sad it feels to see “no upcoming shows” on our mainpage.
@atu2 40 has actually been snippeted eight times on 360, not twice. I heard it four times in Europe 2009.
I have edited our #U2360MON wrap-up with more information from Moncton regarding 40: http://u2.gs/end
@Zoomo72 Sorry I (Ax) missed your tweets earlier, had such a flurry of them I couldn’t keep up!
@viewtoakill Yes, but when it comes to IWF and OOC, those two in particular almost never appear together.
Ax: Well goddamn, now I need to re-write the show wrap-up! ;) #U2360MON
RT @zanecarney: @Hoosier2012 they closed with 40 actually!
Ax: And now I just don’t know what to say at all. Not within 140 characters anyway. Thank you, all of you. #U2360MON
Ax: Here we go folks, the full Moncton setlist and show write-up: http://u2.gs/end #U2360MON
jennytjuhh Ok the U2 360 tour is now really over suddenly im feeling sad… very sad, curious about a new tour though @u2gigs, @atu2
atu2 RT @ChristyRae75: The true mark of the 360 tour’s success isn’t money earned or attendance numbers but we the fans’ reluctance to let it go.
viewtoakill @u2gigs is it going to be odd not having to stay up late for the shows anymore?
The fun isn’t over for us though; we still have our Stump Ax! contest to do! Why not join in http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U@360END
Ax: I’ll get the frontpage article together first. Won’t take long I hope. #U2360MON
Ax: That’s it. I don’t know quite how I feel. I’m going to need a few minutes to compose my thoughts. #U2360MON
The Tour is officially over. Hard to believe… U2 won’t light out lamps again for another few years. Who knows where we will all be then?
@carynrose Wow, that’d be awesome.
Oh yeah; and thanks U2 for having the tour in the first place! :-P #U2360END
RT @RnbwDashIsWin: With the U2 almost over, @Axver, @EveryBrokenWave and Matt from @u2gigs, thanks for all your hard work.
Ax: I’m crossing fingers, toes, everything that they do something spontaneous after OOC just to dominate even more. #U2360MON
If I could name everyone who has made this tour such a joy, I’d still be here when the next one rolled around. So just a huge thanks to all
This has been an incredible experience for me and I will never forget it. Thank you all, for every night, every tweet, and every laugh
Out Of Control does indeed clock in at 25th after MOS! Awww yeah, bring on the early material. #U2360MON
Seriously… I just want to thanks Matthias and Axver for giving me a chance and bringing me on board. It’s been… I don’t have the words
@RomiTheWriter We were once U2-Vertigo-Tour.com, and before that, Elevation-Tour.com; the latter is still online, a glimpse into our past!
postrin @atu2 @u2gigs Thanks for 2 years of hard work and taking us to every show we couldnt make it to!! Hopefully we’re back sooner than later!
Hey, no worries folks. We’ll still be hear after the tour. We may not even change our name this time! #U2360MON
Will they do OOC? Will it be followed by another surprise, say an un-printed Bad/40? Time will tell… #U2360MON
I’d like to thank the acadamy… oh, err, wrong speech! Hang on a sec. Now where did I put my end of tour notes..?
Covering #U2360 just would not have been the same without your company, all the banter, questions, replies, keeping us going.
Really, really heartwarming to read all the tweets of thanks from you folks. But truly, it’s THANK YOU to all of you.
RT @neil_mccormick: The set list has 2 more songs to end the tour: Moment of Surrender &
Out of Control (the 1st single, last song) #U2360
Sounds like Moment of Surrender is on now. Is this the end of #U2360MON?
@MargaretRvrWine Haha, that’s awesome. Wish I (Ax) was tweeting the show while touring wineries!
But uhoh, getting the end of the set just got a little harder… #U2360MON
And @neil_mccormick is done tweeting for the night. Thank you for all the information! #U2360MON
HMTMKMKM into WOWY. #U2360MON
Now the tour stats pages now show specifically JUST the stats for full tour gigs, no dress rehearsals to muddy the waters.
For the record, I (Ax) just recategorised the ZooTV, Vertigo, & 360 dress rehearsals into our “Various Dates” sections.
Wonder if we’re heading towards a big close or not? Will that OOC/Bad/40 trio from NJ’s printed set crop up, maybe? That’d rule. #U2360MON
Hallelujah at the end of One leadsinto the final Streets. #U2360MON
@_Dream_Out_Loud The Rolling Stones are somehow still going and they’re 100x more decrepit than U2!
One opens the first encore. #U2360MON
RT @atu2comSherry: dude - my typing skills are atrocious tonight….i blame the lack of stream
@_Dream_Out_Loud I honestly don’t think so. The band have SO much material up their sleeves. Maybe last big stadium tour though …
RT @SJPicsLive: Bono, sporting a Canadian leather tuxedo. #u2360MON http://twitpic.com/5yjo7l
If you’re catching up, the full #U2360MON set so far is here: http://u2.gs/end
Scarlet and then Walk On. #U2360MON End of the main set?
Haha, nice end-of-tour prank by the crew with THEIR faces on screen, not U2’s, in Crazy. #U2360MON
@FernandoDante Short for “For what it’s worth”
@atu2 Agreed … I (Ax) rolled my eyes when they first rehearsed it, but it’s won me over. Best it’s been in a LONG time.
Discotheque snippet as usual, and that leads into Sunday Bloody Sunday. Remember when it was played alongside Pride? #U2360MON
@colipena No stream today, unfortunately. :(
RT @ScottWeather: If this is anything like the last concert I went to the claw should collapse soon. #U2360 #U2360mon #ottawabluesfest
Vertigo into Crazy Tonight. Don’t hold out much hope for info on snippets this time! #U2360MON
peterostreicher RT @RattleAndHum24: @julesport Based upon tonight alone I think @neil_mccormick should get 1/2 my @U2com membership dues. #U2360MON @u2gigs
joshkcampbell @u2gigs thanks to you for a great website and ever-growing database! It’s been a blast! #U2360
(Spaceship pun not intended)
You just can’t top City of Blinding Lights as the big visual moment of the night #U2360MON
LaForceATL @u2gigs Zooropa into COBL may have been on of the best combos ever #u2360stage
@danjukic I was surprised they didn’t make more use of the Claw with Zooropa, but I guess it arrived too late in the game.
RT @CeciSierra: Goodbye City Of Blinding Lights. My favourite stage moment #U2360MON #U2360END
@danjukic Oh that was mean, haha! God, what WERE they thinking.
joshkcampbell @u2gigs never thought I’d develop such an emotional attachment to Space Oddity
#U2360MON #U2360END
@danjukic Haha … I’ve luckily long since forgotten the movie, so I don’t get the flashbacks!
City of Blinding Lights is next. Hope this is back next tour! #U2360MON
Okay, so Elevation had a drum solo at the end and is followed by Pride, Miss Sarajevo, and the futuristic Zooropa #U2360MON
RT @neil_mccormick: So strange to get a shout out in front of 100,000 Canadians … And Ali. #U2360
@danjukic Really? HMTMKMKM is one of my highlights, given how hard it rocks. Was thrilled when it knocked off UV.
Ahh, this reminds me so much of my debut night; no stream and barely a trickle of information from the venue! #U2360MON
One report of Miss Sarajevo. So… did they skip Pride? Is there anything else missing? Hard to tell tonight! #U2360MON
(Though LWTUA was snippeted at Glasto earlier this year, so all is not quite lost for it.) #U2360
Unless Bono snippets it tonight, this tour will be the first to not have a Love Will Tear Us Apart snip since its JT Tour debut. #U2360
(FWIW, I’m not surprised Moncton is getting the usual standard set. Never been to this neck of the woods after all!) #U2360MON
Soooo… what follows Elevation?. Any predictions? #U2360MON
@danjukic I honestly won’t be shocked if it’s never played again. Or played at the first few shows of the next tour, then quietly vanishes.
But there’s so many people to list and there’s #F1 tomorrow morning, so let’s skip naming everyone individually! ;-) #U2360MON
I’d like to give a few thanks out to all of you for making it such an awesome tour.
@popartist61 Amen! And they have to play it in Australia, just because I say so.
Want to catch up on the set so far? Look no further, we’ve got you covered! http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2360MON
@danjukic It was the only song they did at Glasto that they really didn’t seem committed to (until Bono amped up in “let me in the sound”).
RT @scottyandtony: listening to a live U2 show from my house with my wife and kids… just, wow! #thankful #U2360MON >scotty
@danjukic I honestly feel that at this point of the tour, they kind of feel “obliged” to play Boots since it was the lead single.
@u2fanz Quite correct re: BDay.
popartist61 @u2gigs They have to play Zooropa in Europe at least, now that they have it down after all these years. ;)
@SalvatoreTrubie Accio #U2360MON!
It helps when Ax is on the phone and missing the twitter updates! #U2360MON
Matkin’s getting good at beating me to this snippetry thing nowadays! #U2360MON
danjukic @u2gigs Agree. Turned out to be a really fantastic atmospheric piece in live show. Plus, has advantage of befuddling middling U2 fans! :)
Space Oddity snippet at the end of Beautiful Day. #U2360MON
Space Oddity snippet as usual, leading into Elevation (we think) #U2360MON
@Alisaura I think Magnif may have a chance next tour … I feel like it’s just been pushed out than dropped now. Breathe? UC? So dead.
@patrickmoraes_ Pop had lots of songs on the next tour. Discotheque, Gone, Staring, Please, and Dead Man all showed up on Elevation
@marinapompeu Yep, once as a remix in its usual main-set spot, then again in the encore in “normal” guise.
Last U2 lead single not played at every show of debut tour? Desire. It missed one Lovetown gig.
RT @neil_mccormick: At the end of Beautiful Day, Bono sings “tell my wife I love her very much, she knows … Neil McCormick told her!”
Matkin is surprised it was played at every gig; only other NLOTH song to do that is Crazy Tonight!
Unlike other recent lead singles, I (Ax) don’t see Boots surviving as a regular next tour. #U2360MON
Ax: I fervently hope this show is NOT the end of Zooropa live. Rest of the world needs to hear it next tour. #U2360MON
Beautiful Day is next we hear
RT @neil_mccormick: Bono gives Stay a long improvised ending, sending his wishes out to injured crew member & serenading Ali #U2360
@u2_news We’ve always listed it as Springhill Mining Disaster. Could go as either, like Party Girl vs Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl
Some songs that are played tonight might never be played again. Which ones will fade into memory? #U2360MON
SpringHill Mining Disaster is snippeted. First performance in any form since 1987. #U2360MON
It’s ISHF. Will my earlier prediction hold up? Will Springhill be a surprise next? #U2360MON
Huuuuuge thanks to @neil_mccormick for keeping us in the loop tonight! #U2360MON
Sounds as if Bono is undergoing his speech for the final time. ISHFWILF or AIWIY? #U2360MON
inalittlewhile @u2gigs very true! an official one would’ve been great but you can’t expect people to be faffing around with phones at their final show.
RT @neil_mccormick: Bono: “18 babies have been born on the 360 tour, 2 inter crew marriages, 8 separations, over 7 million served …”
Let’s not try not to think about the lack of a stream tonight; remember all the other nights we were lucky enough to have one! #U2360MON
Boots is sixth. Will Magnificent make a last-gasp appearance tonight? #U2360MON
I Will Follow is fifth. #U2360MON
Oh, and Until The End Of The World has clocked in at 4th. #u2360mon
@atu2 Neil McCormick tweeted that it was The Fly.
Sick of the spam and suchforth cluttering the #U2360MON feed.
At this stage, there is NO legit stream from Moncton. :( #U2360MON
The Fly is second, followed by Mysterious Ways in third. #U2360MON
People, the u2man_on_air user on 1000mikes is a notorious fake. Ignore his stream. #U2360MON
@smili72 Thank you very much! It’s been two very good years.
@iambradk That guy’s a fake, why would you want that?
Hope it won’t be too hard to find out the set! Our mainpage article for #U2360MON where we’ll post the full set is here: http://u2.gs/end
RT @shawnrouse @u2gigs sorry cell coverage not good
Possible stream RT @shawnrouse I’m broadcasting #u2360mon live on #Ustream. Come watch and chat! http://ustre.am/y33q
Ax: Looks like some people on Twitter jumped the gun, but via @PatrickBrunneti, Space Oddity IS on now. #U2360MON
Even Better Than the Real Thing opens
