Vancouver update, 7 May 2015
It's time for more news from Vancouver. U2FanPeter has checked in on Interference with another update, which is summarised below. It looks like U2 are now practicing the core of a setlist, with rarities and rotational slots to be inserted and determined later.
The set they played was:
Set 1:
The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone)
Out Of Control
Vertigo
I Will Follow
Iris (Hold Me Close)
Cedarwood Road
Song For Someone
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Raised By Wolves
Until The End Of The World
Set break: first a ZooTV-esque video including a snippet from The Clash and what might be a sample from a speech by Margaret Thatcher, then the album version of The Wanderer with the siren from the Zooropa CD at the end.
Set 2:
Invisible
Even Better Than The Real Thing
Mysterious Ways / Burning Down The House (snippet)
Sweetest Thing
Every Breaking Wave (acoustic)
Bullet The Blue Sky / Helter Skelter (snippet)
With Or Without You
The Troubles
City Of Blinding Lights
Beautiful Day
Miracle Drug
Fields Of Gold (snippet) / Where The Streets Have No Name
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Peter notes that Sunday Bloody Sunday has some audio samples, including from political speeches and of a bomb blast. Mysterious Ways again had a bongo intro. The rant as heard in previous audio clips of Bullet The Blue Sky remains. Miracle Drug still has a pre-recorded spoken word intro.
Incidentally, U2 can now move from the Pacific Coliseum to the Rogers Arena. Neil Diamond held a concert there on 7 May, and once his staging is fully loaded out, it's free for U2 to use.
