U2's Vienna setlist, 30/08

Today, U2 performed their sole Austrian concert of the 360° Tour, in Vienna. They had originally wanted to perform this concert during the 2009 European leg, but Ernst Happel Stadium was occupied by a Jehovah's Witnesses convention during the period U2 wanted it. Fortunately, no such problems faced the band this year.

Before the show, the crew conducted a lengthy soundcheck that included City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Moment Of Surrender, the piano from three songs (New Year's Day, Miss Sarajevo, and Walk On), and the guitar riff from Desire. The original printed setlist was changed just before the concert began; between I Still Haven't Found and In A Little While, the original set had "North Star or Every Breaking Wave" and then Glastonbury. Neither Glastonbury nor North Star were performed.

The setlist the band performed, however, did include Every Breaking Wave. This is just the second time it has ever been played, after its debut nine days ago at in Helsinki. The first song of the second encore has become rotational at recent concerts, and in Vienna, the position was filled by Ultra Violet rather than Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. The Unforgettable Fire remains missing in action. Amusingly enough, one Vienna newspaper printed the setlist before the concert even began - and as you can see in this picture, got it wrong.

  1. Return of the Stingray Guitar
  2. Beautiful Day / Rain (snippet)
