Today, U2 played their third and final show in Japan. Only one Vertigo show now remains, that in Honolulu. Today's show contained a number of setlist surprises. Out Of Control was performed for the first time on the fifth leg; it was last played on 1 November 2005 when local band Exit joined U2 on stage to perform the song in honour of Larry's birthday the previous day (the last time it was performed by just U2 themselves was 20 October 2005). This show also saw the return of Vertigo x2, as it was repeated in the encore. The double use of Vertigo hasn't been done since 12 February 2006. Furthermore, the two newly recorded songs from U218 Singles, The Saints Are Coming and Window In The Skies, were played back-to-back in the encore, and The First Time appeared for another rare performance.
