Good night from me. This was a great night here in Athens.
Last ones Walk On, Hold Me, Thrill Me …, Moment Of Surrender will be up on our YT channel http://u2.gs/yt soon #u2360athens #u2 #u2360
Next ones are Elevation from Athens http://u2.gs/du & Miss Sarajevo http://u2.gs/dv #u2360athens #u2 #u2360
Here is Magnificent from Athens http://u2.gs/dt #u2360athens #u2 #u2360
Here we go, I’ve updated the Athens setlist article with some stats and whatnot: http://u2.gs/dr
Very glad Matt was able to do some updates from the venue in my absence! I am expanding the mainpage article now.
Oh wow, sorry everybody for no updates, I fell really ill yesterday and completely forgot the Athens gig was even happening.
Here is our first clip from Athens - I Will Follow http://u2.gs/ds
Here is the Athens setlist. Just a quick one since Axver is not around and he’s much better with writing http://u2.gs/dr
@PaulvSon yes they did.
One of the video taping signs we talked about earlier. The same at any show. Now it’s mine. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dq
That’s it from Athens stadium. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dp
@llootsteen39 sort of best of setlist as expected.
Fantastic audience in Athens - beside the talking. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens
Wowy. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dn
Will never understand what ppl have to talk during concerts … #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens
Cobl. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dj
Until. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/di
@llootsteen39 not my music but well received here in Athens.
A few seats are still empty but overall stadium looks well filled. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dh
Snow Patrol. First I see them play in the dark. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/dg
Snow Patrol <3 Athens. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/df

Mexican fan. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/db
@scott_ish Front of stage.
Wonder if he will see much later from the wheelchair. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/da
One wheelchair in FOS … strange. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens
@u2pinstripes it’s the same on the other side.
@nikster007 there is no need to go early :-)
The claw in Athens. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d9
Hm, FOS stamps on ticket. Something new. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d8
@nikster007 you have to collect them before the show everywhere.
Stage from back of FOS. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d7
We are in. No security checks at all. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d6
Gates might be open. Can see ppl running from 200m away. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens
@east13net nope, same signs as seen on any other show as well. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens
Media interest at GA queue. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d5
@AlexMaragos same banner as everywhere. It’s just for screen and website use.
Second part of queue on Athens. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d4
3 smaller groups closer to stadium. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/d3
@AlexMaragos I don’t mind if it works. Have a good show.

About 160 in Athens queue. #u2 #u2360 #u2360athens http://u2.gs/cX
@AlexMaragos usually they stop working at show time anyway. At least my experience.
@Matkin22 Well that’s just weird! Gmail reckons it has well and truly sent.
[initialsname] @live.ca, right? sent it about eight minutes ago now.
Shock of the decade: U2.com still doesn’t have any info that Perth 2 is even happening.
@Matkin22 Check your e-mail, my reply was waaay too long!
@Matkin22 Totally agree. Plus I think the band need to expose people to more of their great catalogue…
@Matkin22 At least I’ve heard it live a couple of times before. Not too disappointed.
@Matkin22 Yep. Ironically, friends from NZ visiting at time of the gig. Hopefully it’ll stay in the set like last time!
Second Perth gig has already been added, ON SALE NOW via Ticketmaster!
@Matkin22 Already got my Melbourne tickets in the presale! Can’t make any other gigs.
Last time U2 came down under, the 2nd gigs were announced within a day of 1st gig sales, and went on sale a week later.
Looks like Aussie shows selling well. GAs flew out the door everywhere. Hopefully second gigs will happen.
Well, Stuff.co.nz reckons the Auckland gig sold out within an hour, but some people have pulled up seated tickets in the last few mins.
Good luck to everybody buying tickets for the Aussie/Kiwi gigs today!

The new U2 song Every Breaking Wave live from Vienna http://u2.gs/cS #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna
Here are my photos from Vienna. I’d say it’s the best set I’ve done on this tour so far http://u2.gs/viennaphotos #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna
Here is Mysterious Ways from Vienna; Edges guitar failed again at the beginning http://u2.gs/cR #u2360vienna #u2
Not sure if someone mentioned this already but Bono really sings partially into his jacket during UV now. There must be another mic.
Here is our first video clip from the Vienna show. Get On Your Boots http://u2.gs/cQ
Full Vienna set, info, stats: http://u2.gs/cP
That’s it. Had a great spot for photos. Will post them tonight. Some vids as well. Matt. #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna
Hi folks, will have Vienna set up soon. Not much in the way of surprises; Every Breaking Wave played again, UV instead of HMTMKMKM.
Streets. #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna http://u2.gs/cN
Poor Edge, guitar not given in time, failed guitar on MW, change guitar on COBL and not loud enough for Walk On. #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna
@llootsteen39 ax is not around today. Matt
Uh, Edge had to change guitar. #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna

U2log U2place claims crew says tour will end in Europe 2011 with shows in Paris, UK and Belfast and finally at a new location in Dublin.
Queue photo taken 3 hours ago http://u2.gs/cy at the moment the rain stopped. #u2 #u2360 #u2360vienna
@U2log They never were at the shows I’ve seen here …
My apologies to all who had to wait for their photo submissions to appear on the site. I just work on them. Have been a bit busy …
Funny Bono & Adam photo from Helsinki http://u2.gs/cx

@_Deimos_ No, no mention at all and I payed attention since I’ve read before the show what happened.
Campaign to bring U2 to Christchurch, New Zealand: http://u2.gs/CHCH
Must apologise, accidentally listed snips of My Sweet Lord & Singing In The Rain with Magnificent, when I meant MW. Moscow set fixed now.
Snippetwatch via @Matkin22: City Of Blinding Lights in Moscow ALSO had a Singing In The Rain snip.
I’ll have a beer now…
Most videos are in the upload queue now. Will add few more on Friday. http://u2.gs/yt #u2360moscow #u2
Here is our first video from Moscow. New Years Day … http://u2.gs/cr
Ok, had a shower and will upload some videos quickly. Photos will take longer (Friday) since I have no power supply for my notebook :-/
@srj68 they blocked us for some time.
Ppl can leave now. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/cq
Today’s setlist features the first snippet we have ever recorded in New Year’s Day.
Full Moscow setlist, stats, and info here: http://u2.gs/cm
That’s it. Just want to get my all wet clothes off now. Some vids to come if camera survived. Matt http://u2.gs/ck
I’m sorry, but U2 playing KOHD now always makes me think of the funniest U2 performance ever, TV Gaga: http://u2.gs/cj
Ax here. Set fairly normal in Moscow, mainpage article coming soon, except right now: Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door after WOWY.
Sunday. Rain stopped but everyone is just wet. May have killed my cam … We will see later. #u2 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/ci

We just had to left the stadium after being up in the seat. They won’t let us down again. Good scanners are not synched here. Phew. Matt
Last entrance control. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/cd

Ax here; I can’t do Moscow set live today. Matt will do what he can, depending on phone reception. I’ll post full set at end of gig.
Moving more far away from the stadium … #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/c7
So this is the queue now. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/c6
Pride full band from stadium. IALW now. Looks like we have to leave the stadium area. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/c5
Everyone has to go away from the gates now. Not sure what’s going on but everyone looks relaxed so are we. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow
More Police, Milliz and Army here than fans at the moment. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow http://u2.gs/c4
Acoustic Desire guitar sound from stadium. Not sure if band or techs. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow

Sorry, wrong conversion … Shirts are 25€ in Moscow. #u2 #u2360 #u2360moscow

Yes, it’s been a while coming, but I’ve just made some much-needed updates to the U2 Setlist FAQ: http://u2.gs/FAQ
U2.com have updated their FAQ to cover the Aussie/Kiwi gig presales: http://u2.gs/bT
RT @Matkin22 More U2.com humour: Best of 90-00 released in 1969! And why is ZooTV listed as 94 with PopMart as 07? http://bit.ly/czkULl
@malcolm42 I’m not confident it’ll be 3 on the bill, since there weren’t last time, and most 360 shows have only had one support.
New U2.com design now working for me. More easily readable, but it still looks incomplete at this stage to me.
@Matkin22 Cheers! Got it working here now too, though the bar above the video is pink for me, not orange as in your screencap.
Seems U2.com is failing for some, not others. For me, it looks like the old site, but squashed. Wonder if the new site will be any better.
Haha, oh U2.com! RT @Matkin22 In other news U2.com thinks HMTMKMKM was on Zooropa: http://bit.ly/aguD3o
@malcolm42 Got little to do with Jay-Z personally; everything to do with overlooking local talent in favour of importing an act AGAIN.
@u2wanderer And I certainly don’t condone booing opening acts. I’ll give him a chance. But geez, we’ve a wealth of talent down here.
@u2wanderer Well exactly. It may boost sales now from Jay-Z fans, but it won’t help a future tour’s sales much.
Am I the only person currently getting “unresponsive script” errors on 90% of U2.com’s pages?
Presale info for Aus/NZ shows - begins 11am THIS THURSDAY for existing U2.com subscribers: http://u2.gs/pre
@u2wanderer Will it drive up sales that much? Jay-Z fans want a Jay-Z concert, not an abbrev support slot.
Another clip by Coppel Presents to advertise U2 coming to Australia and New Zealand. It’s different from the one on u2.com http://u2.gs/bS
Here are our photos from the 2nd Helsinki show: http://u2.gs/helsinki2ph…
@u2fanz Broke up just as they were getting popular. Would take them over Jay-Z any day.
Athens gets Aviv and we get Jay-Z? Ugh. Or heaven forbid U2 give a local band their biggest opportunity ever…
It’s true: Jay-Z will be supporting U2 on Aussie/Kiwi tour. :-/
Here are my photos from the first U2 show in Helsinki: http://u2.gs/helsinki1ph… #u2360helsinki #u2
U2 already in Moscow. news item http://u2.gs/bQ (via @u2miracle)
Will be so jealous if Aviv performs any Blackfield songs in Athens. Why can’t he support U2 in Australia?
Aviv Geffen to support U2 in Athens: http://u2.gs/aviv
@scatterolight Uh, that’s me in the back ;)
@stu2 Hey, just FYI, noticed your Helsinki 2 set has Amazing Grace snip with Streets; AG wasn’t actually done last night. :)
EVERY city on the Oceania leg is rumoured to get a second show if the first sells well enough. Yes, including Brissie and Perth.
More info on Aussie/Kiwi tour: http://u2.gs/bP
ISHFWILF clip should be finished in a few minutes. That’s all from us today. Good night.
This is our Moment Of Surrender clip with a nice Singing In The Rain at the end http://u2.gs/bN #u2360helsinki #u2
@scatterolight for sure! We’re so happy to have seen this show. Makes us wonder what might come next … :)
The tour premiere of I Will Follow http://u2.gs/bM
Here is Vertigo from the 2nd Helsinki show http://u2.gs/bL (sorry for cutting it short … tech fault)
Here is the new arranged (semi acoustic) No Line On The Horizon from Helsinki http://u2.gs/bK
Just added another weather related snippet to the setlist on our site. Rain at the end of One.
@U2log Any idea what Bono did before MLK? The “trouble in your heart, trouble in your head” part?
