Just updated our Melb 2 article with some stats, and details about Hamish & Andy appearance: http://u2.gs/melb2 #u2360melbourne
Hey folks, I’m back. Melb 1 was easily the better show; Melb 2’s first eight songs were really high energy though. #u2360melbourne
The 2nd show in Melbourne just finished. Here is our setlist recap http://u2.gs/melb2 Ax will extend it soon #u2360melbourne
That’s it! We even get a thank you from Adam! #u2360melbourne
No Shine Like Stars so I sung it myself. Does that count? Short speech, then MOS 24th and prob last. #u2360melbourne
Protip: being 3rd row rather than on rail in inner zone is better because of stage height. #u2360melbourne
23rd is WOWY. #u2360melbourne
2nd encore begins with UV. #u2360melbourne
I’ll Stand By You by The Pretenders snippet in One. New snippet for our u2gigs.com tour archive #u2360melbourne

11th is Pride. No new stuff tonight I guess. Thanks lame Weds response to Mercy #u2360melbourne

Band intros, shout to Blondie and Pretenders, brief hi from Edge. 9th for real is ISHFWILF #u2360melbourne

Video of U2 at Hamish & Andy today: http://u2.gs/hM
@fabitofigueredo None so far.
@U2tour Probably just mistyped :)

melburnian U2!!!!! http://img.ly/2ye3
2nd is Beautiful Day. #u2360melbourne
Swellbourne 2 begins with Stingray Gitarre. #u2360melbourne
Space Oddity! Here begins probably my last 360 show. Though Matt has more in the works for 2011! #u2360melbourne
Last minute setlist change! No idea what, just saw them replace printed sets with new copies. #u2360melbourne
Also, skies fairly clear now. Though let’s not jinx it! #u2360melbourne
Jay-Z better tonight than last, much better than Kanye in 06. Data networks overloaded worse than Weds. #u2360melbourne
Had the worst white trash Frankston bros behind me during Jay-Z. Rest of crowd chill, into his set. #u2360melbourne
Jay-Z just finished. Not bad but wish Zond and Love of Diagrams were playing here rather than the Corner tonight. #u2360melbourne
Jay-Z starting now. #u2360melbourne
Some people on rail, Adam’s side, don’t have numbers from queue. Dead easy to get close tonight. #u2360melbourne
Thanks for the updates on the cricket, folks! Most appreciated.
@bwfcdom83 Woah no way! Was 4-for when I left home.
Not U2 related, but can someone tell me the score at stumps today in the Ashes? Cheers!

So U2 make surprise appearance on Melbourne radio. Will report on it when home from gig. #u2360melbourne
So I arrived at 5pm and am 3rd row on Adam’s side without trying. Screw queuing! #u2360melbourne
Queue at 5.10 today is shorter than it was at 2.30 Wednesday. #u2360melbourne
By the way, Edge was at the venue earlier and participated in at least some of soundcheck. No other band members spotted. #u2360melbourne
Tonight, my phone is fully charged. If it dies during U2’s set this time, I’ll throw it in the Yarra! #u2360melbourne
@SeattleB Just about to leave now. Sorry, no idea about a live feed. :( Will text as much as I can!
@spenceeastwood I don’t mind both live, they aren’t exactly boring, but neither makes me jump or get excited like, say, IWF still does.
@MandyDobsonT The Crowdies actually formed in Melbourne and were based here for many years. Though Kare Kare is about a beach near Auckland!
@spenceeastwood Oh yeah, it’ll probably never leave the set. Vertigo too. Crowds love ‘em; I’d honestly not shed a tear if either went away.
@spenceeastwood Well I’d be even happier if BDay was dropped from the set!
I’ll be a happy man if BDay tonight ends with a snip of “the sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the Domain…” #u2360melbourne
You can see why Crowded House wrote Four Seasons In One Day about Melbourne. Storms and sunshine alternate, gig may be wet! #u2360melbourne
@u2fanz Yeah, I was expecting COBL might get a bit of work in the soundcheck after that incident!
Crew soundcheck continues with New Year’s Day on piano, then a bit of COBL again. #u2360melbourne
@elliotswart On Wednesday, Jay-Z did 7:15-8:05, U2 on at 9pm.
Weather’s packing it in, drizzle now and some storms are moving in fast from the north. #u2360melbourne
Crew’s still doing bits of COBL on guitar… #u2360melbourne
Crew soundcheck continuing with just some guitar bits: some of Streets, I Will Follow riff, a bit of COBL. #u2360soundcheck
Now I Still Haven’t Found, fragmentary. #u2360melbourne
After Vertigo, crew soundcheck continues with some random guitar and a bit of Streets. #u2360melbourne
COBL again, more this time, then into Vertigo. No vocals, think it’s just the crew. #u2360melbourne
Soundcheck at Etihad (already! It’s only just midday). COBL, just the intro. #u2360melbourne
Bit of rain around Melbourne today, light spits at the venue but nothing substantial yet. #u2360melbourne
My mate just joined Melbourne 2 queue. 10am, he’s number 203. Queue’s less than half as long as it was this time Wednesday. #u2360melbourne
