Triple M has a bit of a recording from yesterday’s Brisbane soundcheck: http://u2.gs/i4 (thanks @ZooPony for the tip-off!) #u2360brisbane
@mduchek They’ve also snippeted Highway To Hell before, a couple of times in 2006 and last week in Melbourne.
@andradelis Are you sure the later soundcheck was U2? There was a conflicting report that U2 didn’t even leave Sydney until 3:30.
Here is our article on U2’s just-announced Chile gig on 2011-03-25: http://u2.gs/i3
Official now: U2 to play Santiago on March 25th 2011 http://u2.gs/i2
@rgrtht Just fixed this. Should be ok now. Bad timing :)
This is Ax, signing off for tonight. See you good folk tomorrow for Brisbane 2! #u2360brisbane
Full Brisbane 1 setlist and info here: http://u2.gs/qld1 #u2360brisbane
Thanks so much to Alison D. for kindly taking the time to text us the set and other details from Brissie tonight! #u2360brisbane
That’s it. Bono: “Goodnight Brisbane, goodnight John Lennon”. #u2360brisbane
23rd is With Or Without You; 24th and presumably last is Moment Of Surrender. #u2360brisbane
@Drea104 We got a Highway To Hell snip in Melbourne too. Personally, I wish he’d snip Acca Dacca less and Midnight Oil more!
Alison’s last text, verbatim: “Ppl are blowing smoke up bono’s arse” #u2360brisbane
22nd is Ultra Violet, first time it has been done at consecutive gigs since August. #u2360brisbane
Dear Prudence snippet leads into 21st song, Streets. Snip of All You Need Is Love in Streets. No Amazing Grace tonight. #u2360brisbane
@Ailestel Nope.
Just to clarify, because a couple of people asked, yes, Tutu’s speech preceded One as per normal. #u2360brisbane
First song of encore, 20th of night, is One. Some obscure song, I think. ;) #u2360brisbane
19th and last song of main set is Walk On with You’ll Never Walk Alone. #u2360brisbane
16th is Crazy Tonight with a snip of Two Tribes and an unknown snip (not Relax). 17th is Sunday Bloody Sunday, 18th Scarlet. #u2360brisbane
@heartbreaktoday Bono’s actually snippeted it in Vertigo before, very briefly at the 2nd Dublin show last year.
Bono mimes “all of this can be yours” in Vertigo. #u2360brisbane
14th is City Of Blinding Lights, 15th is Vertigo with Thunderstruck snip. #u2360brisbane
You probably don’t need me or Alison to tell you that after IALW is Miss Sarajevo in 13th place. #u2360brisbane
@u2fanz Plus after following Crowded House around, I’m just too poor to do U2 as well, bugger. :(
@u2fanz I would say sure, but the Melbourne shows were my only ones for this leg! Sydney clashes with Muse in Melbourne.
North Star was still just Bono and Edge, with Edge on electric guitar (i.e. like most past performances). #u2360brisbane
11th is Pride, dedicated to John Lennon with appropriate lyrical changes. 12th is In A Little While. #u2360brisbane
North Star has only been played eight times before. Waiting to find out if it’s finally full band or still just Bono & Edge. #u2360brisbane
@u2fanz Inner zone, third row, Adam’s side.
And of course, I have a mainpage article keeping track of the full set, right here: http://u2.gs/qld1 #u2360brisbane
10th is North Star, first time since 2 October in Coimbra. #u2360brisbane
…if you like “this tropical paradise thing”. Larry and Adam agree use of expletives an art form. Rain has stopped. #u2360brisbane
She reports pre-ISHFWILF banter involving whole band. Bono describes Bris as “amazing”, Edge says it’s OK if… (cont’d) #u2360brisbane
Ah, there we go, info from Alison! First bit of news, Stand By Me snip in I Still Haven’t Found. #u2360brisbane
Haven’t heard from Alison; @Reid_NZ reports 7th-9th is Elevation, Until The End Of The World, I Still Haven’t Found. #u2360brisbane
@u2fanz I’d rate Melbourne 2 as one of the 3 or 4 worst U2 shows I’ve seen. Opening 8 songs dominated, but then… oh dear, oh dear.
@u2wanderer One of these days I’ll fuck with people and tweet the setlist of whatever local Melbourne band I’m seeing. ;)
@u2fanz Shame the middle of the main set at Melbourne 2 was grossly inferior, though. Show never recovered.
MW has a snippet of Rain by The Beatles. #u2360brisbane
Sixth is Mysterious Ways. Magnif may have had a Can’t Stand The Rain snip, not confirmed. #u2360brisbane
Magnificent’s intro: “the West End, the Valley, Paddington”. Raining a bit now. #u230brisbane
Fourth is Boots, fifth is Magnificent. #u2360brisbane
The set is kindly being supplied to U2gigs by Alison D. She reports an unknown snippet in Beautiful Day. #u2360brisbane
During Stingray, Bono yelled out Brisbane’s ironic nickname “Brisvegas”. #u2360brisbane
We are go in Brisbane! Show starts with Stingray Guitar, then Beautiful Day, and third is I Will Follow. #u2360brisbane
Support act Jay-Z is on in Brisbane at the moment. #u2360brisbane
Hmm, I now can’t find my source for the earlier soundcheck, so take it for what it’s worth. #u2360brisbane
Later soundcheck (as far as I know, still just the crew) included COBL, MOS, Streets, Elevation. #u2360brisbane
So, early soundcheck by crew included In A Little While, Ultra Violet, With Or Without You. #u2360brisbane
@alovehatething In Melbourne, he began at 7:15pm. Might be a little earlier in Brisbane.
As a heads-up, one of my friends will hopefully be doing a live set for U2gigs tonight, but at this stage no guarantees. #u2360brisbane
@andradelis Was that soundcheck by U2 or just by the crew?
Crew have done a soundcheck today, so far no soundcheck by the band. #u2360brisbane
@Drea104 Not to worry, everybody thinks they’re American. One of those few times “isn’t Canada in the US?” works in your favour.
@wxander You would turn down the chance to hear his atmospheric masterworks?! ;)
Oh shit everyone, get out of the GA line, sell your U2 tickets, for Justin Bieber is coming to Brissie next year!!!11!1 #u2360brisbane
It’s nearly 11am in Brissie and the GA line is well over 300 long. #u2360brisbane
