@thephonebox That would be nice :)
@thephonebox Confirmed and added to setlist. Thank you.
This is Ax, signing off for tonight. See you all tomorrow for Sydney 2! #u2360sydney
@thefly202005 In a way, I feel like Australia’s getting cheated out of an NLOTH tour thanks to all this ATYCLB rubbish in the set.
Full Sydney 1 setlist here: http://u2.gs/syd1 #u2360sydney
That’s it folks. Thanks to all who tweeted, esp @sydangel68 and @prestontowers (a fellow Late Show fan?). #u2360sydney
24th and presumably last is Moment Of Surrender. #u2360sydney
Here’s hoping MOS is back in the set after its curfew-enforced absence at Brissie 2! #u2360sydney
23rd is With Or Without You. #u2360sydney
22nd is Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. Aww yeah. #u2360sydney
Amazing Grace snippet leads into 21st song, Streets. #u2360sydney
One has the Hear Us Coming verse! First time in Australia this tour. #u2360sydney
TimMcEwen67 OK U2, it’s time for me to go to bed. Turn it down a little. ;P
@TimMcEwen67 Just about 20 minutes until they finish ;)
I’m not the only one! RT @prestontowers Whenever I see Desmond Tutu, I can’t get the image of Rob Sitch’s impression out of my mind.
Desmond Tutu, then encore begins with 20th song of the night, One. #u2360sydney
18th is the bliss that is Scarlet, 19th is Walk On. #u2360sydney
prestontowers There are a lot of people wearing very similar tops to that worn by Clayton. Tellingly, they are all women. #u2360sydney #u2sydney
Jay-Z is on stage during SBS. #u2360sydney
If you’re catching up, I’m posting the full setlist here: http://u2.gs/syd1 #u2360sydney
Now they’re up to 17th, Sunday Bloody Sunday. #u2360sydney
Re: Do They Know It’s Xmas snip, RT @sydangel68 B sang its xmas time and there’s no need to be afraid. He then said Bob Geldof in the house.
Relax and Two Tribes snips in Crazy. #u2360sydney
Bet you folk that AIWIY will be played tomorrow. But then I thought Boy Falls From The Sky would show up by Melb 2… #u2360sydney
@ClaytonsKitten You get a cookie and a way-to-jinx-it-against-AIWIY sash. ;)
16th is Crazy Tonight. #u2360sydney
Also, @sydangel68 reports a snippet of Do They Know It’s Christmas before Stuck. #u2360sydney
15th is Vertigo. #u2360sydney
First time Bad has appeared at consecutive shows since 2009 (21 and 24/07; also 22/08 end of 1st leg-12/09 start of 2nd). #u2360sydney
Stuck/Bad was obviously the Michael Hutchence segment, with the former dedicated to him. #u2360sydney
12th-14th are In A Little While, Miss Sarajevo, and City Of Blinding Lights. #u2360sydney
Bad has snippets of Need You Tonight and Never Tear Us Apart. #u2360sydney
Here we go, @sydangel68 comes through for us! Tenth is Stuck (ew), 11th is BAD! #u2360sydney
Well this has suddenly fallen apart. We did have multiple tweeters, now nothing. Trying to get in touch with my mates for set. #u2360sydney
OK, apparently somebody’s reported NLOTH was played … but it wasn’t as far as we know. Live set suddenly gets confusing. #u2360sydney
@Reid_NZ Woah, if so, have they listened to our “where da fuck’s the NLOTH!” complaints?
Apparently Kanye West and Bob Geldof are also there, get shout-outs from Bono. #u2360sydney
No word on what the tenth song is yet, sorry everyone. #u2360sydney
Personally, I’m bloody sick of seeing Oprah all over the Aussie media, but what can you do.
Sounds like Bono’s given Oprah a shout-out. #u2360sydney
@ClaytonsKitten That would be excellent! I fear the optimist in me has died re: IALW’s demise, though.
@alljokesmustgo Yeah, that wouldn’t surprise me.
So, anybody out there placing bets on next 2 songs? Mercy, AIWIY for me. #u2360sydney
@marceloj99 Hopefully next 2 songs might be a bit less predictable …
And of course, Bono DID faff around with a speech. Shocked? Didn’t think so. #u2360sydney
Ninth is I Still Haven’t Found. #u2360sydney
Wouldn’t it be nice if they don’t faff around with a speech and go into the tour debut of AIWIY next? #u2360sydney
Eighth is Until The End Of The World. #u2360sydney
Seventh is Elevation. #u2360sydney
Sixth is Mysterious Ways. #u2360sydney
HeidiTiltins #oprah is in the building!! At #U2 with Gayle King (pictured earlier) http://twitpic.com/3fj8fo
Fifth is Magnificent. Via @sydangel68, Bono gave shout-outs over the intro to Glebe, Bondi, and Paddington. #u2360sydney
Fourth is Get On Your Boots. #u2360sydney
Here is our article where I will be posting the full set live: http://u2.gs/syd1 #u2360sydney
We’re go in #u2360sydney. Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day, and I Will Follow. BD has a Blackbird snippet.
Data networks in Sydney seem quite overloaded. Let’s hope that doesn’t cause problems for doing a live setlist. #u2360sydney
Jay-Z just finished before #u2360sydney. @Almond87 reports that he seemed to play a shorter set, started around 7:15-7:20 and off by 8.
@wxander Don’t know of any feed, alas. Text updates should be no problem, though.
@TheWolverine99 Haha! Wonders will never cease. ;)
And @thephonebox reports that cops just arrested somebody in the GA line. Oh dear…
C’mon U2. This is a huge fucking stadium tour, crying out for God Part II! That RAH selection would make sense. LRM? So random. #u2360sydney
@spenceeastwood Yeah, RAH remains U2’s best-selling Aussie album. Figure AIWIY will get in the set by the end of the leg. LRM, however…!
Soundcheck #u2360sydney details told better by RT @MattElford Mysterious ways, All I want is you (few times) and Love Rescue Me.
So weird to be referring to a Sydney venue as ANZ Stadium. I’m used to that being the name of QSAC in Brissie! #u2360sydney
Tweets, forum posts, texts from mates all indicate crowd control at ANZ Stadium is shit. Good luck when doors open, folks. #u2360sydney
Edge also soundchecked Streets, and the crew did COBL, Vertigo, MOS. #u2360sydney
You may not believe me, but U2 have soundchecked All I Want Is You and LOVE RESCUE ME (I don’t like the song, but woah!). #u2360sydney
@Sal_71 Sounds just like 2006. Where I was, there was room enough for some guys to set up a game of cricket with a tennis ball and a shoe!
@kevinrobers No new rumours on the European front, sorry!
Psst, there’s a rumour that 360 will be going to Asia after all, perhaps as the final leg. Timeframe unknown.
There are 2 GA lines in Sydney, both queues well into hundreds (12:30pm now). Gonna be chaos if 1 gets in earlier than other. #u2360sydney
