EdgeFest Thanks for the mention! Let’s hope the 3G network cooperates :) RT @Sperounes U2 set times in Edmonton. #U2360EDM #yeg http://t.co/d0wKPS9
RT @wxander U2 fans gear up for Edmonton 360º showhttp://www.edmontonjournal.com/… via @AddThis Yay @hjwallace1 :D
@fooboto You better hide it at the entrance. Compact and smaller bridge cameras are usually no problem. Depends on local security.
scatterolight Some decent videos of U2 show in Winnipeg last nite on this YouTube channel http://bit.ly/iCg5CE
Ever wondered what Lady With the Spinning Head might sound like live? http://youtu.be/tOfXpy4L…
AraTrask Remember how everyone wanted a photo of Bono wearing a sombrero a few shows back? http://tinyurl.com/44cwp… @u2gigs
@EdgeFest good morning from Matt. Glad to see it worked out. I’ll give it a listen at work if the stream is saved :-)
@romarinho74 take a look here: http://u2.gs/ts
MOS was in the printed set, but the band must’ve run up against a curfew. Anyway, full setlist & show write-up: http://u2.gs/win #U2360WPG
And @hjwallace1 confirms no MOS! That’s it folks. Only 2nd show to end on WOWY after Brissie 2. (Or 3rd counting Denver rehearsal) #U2360WPG
Is this it? No MOS?! #U2360WPG
24th is With Or Without You. #U2360WPG
23rd song of the night, start of the 2nd encore, is Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. This has become a bit more permanent. #U2360WPG
Second encore break, will it be HMTMKMKM or UV? Obviously I’m hoping for the former. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 October is in my U2 top four, with UF, Boy, and JT. (Or top five if I can count Passengers.) 1978-84 is easily my fav U2 era.
@mikadu2 19. Walk On, 20. Happy Birthday, 21. One, 22. Streets.
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow snippet leads into 22nd song, Streets. #U2360WPG
One lacks the Hear Us Coming verse. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Fire is awesome, don’t get why it’s under-rated. I dig almost all tracks on October though; only dislike I Fall Down.
@isamoras Haha, yeah, I’m starting to expect it at some point in the gig.
But that’s just a technicality, I suppose!
Also, it’s not quuuite AI’s 50th birthday. The article that inspired it was published on 28/05/61; it coalesced into a group later in 1961.
Going to count Happy Birthday as 20th song. So starting the encore, 21st of the night, is One. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Oh man, Brick would rule so much. Would love some Fire too.
And now here’s the new encore video, the replacement for Tutu. #U2360WPG
Bono makes a speech after Walk On acknowledging Amnesty International’s 50th birthday, sings Happy Birthday for them. #U2360WPG
Closing out Walk On is the You’ll Never Walk Alone snippet. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Never ceases to amuse me how many people, even hardcore fans, keep accidentally calling it Rejoice. I wish it was Rejoice!
Following Scarlet in 19th is, of course, Walk On. What, you were expecting Alone In The Light? #U2360WPG
18th is Scarlet. Love how it keeps hanging around; it’s a gorgeous piece of music. #U2360WPG
And ending the snippetfest is Please, leading into 17th song, Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2360WPG
Add to that Life During Wartime and Psycho Killer snippets! #U2360WPG
Aw yeah, here’s the Discotheque snippet! Go oooon guys, crank it out in full. #U2360WPG
16th is Crazy Tonight. How much Pop snippetry can they squeeze in tonight? #U2360WPG
Another snip of You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, this time at the end of Vertigo. #U2360WPG
@skid63 I’m going to take that as a challenge for my old “Walk On after Scarlet; what, you expected ….?” joke. ;)
By the way, if you’re just tuning in, here’s the full set so far as updated on the mainpage: http://u2.gs/win #U2360WPG
15th is Vertigo. #U2360WPG
@Lunnzies I’ll take The Fly ANYWHERE in the setlist!
@skid63 Me, predictable? Noooo! ;)
@u2_news Yeah, I’d rate UF and Zooropa as this tour’s two best moments.
Zooropa as normal segues into 14th, City Of Blinding Lights. #U2360WPG
And this is now the Ax show like old times; Matkin’s passed the controls over to me.
Barring the sudden appearance of, say, 11OTT, tonight’s 13th song is the best song of the night, ZOOROPA! #U2360WPG
Miss Sarajevo #U2360WPG
Heart Of Gold snippet at the end of BDay, by the way. #U2360WPG
Either @EdgeFest or @hjwallace1 screaming “Cheryl, this is for you!” Heh, hope you’re listening Cheryl! #U2360WPG
Pride #U2360WPG
RT @hjwallace1: Bono just Pulled the 2 girls beside us up on stage! #U2360WPG
@alancross Ever read this? Think you’ll enjoy it ;) http://bit.ly/mDEtEA
Snippet of You Ain’t Seen Nothin Yet as the intro poem
Beautiful Day follows Stay; Bono calls for a poem. #U2360WPG
And that is the word of Canada’s most eminant musical journalist folks!
@coldplayer4life Connection issues; it comes back
Ax here, Bono did seem to mumble something at the end of AIWIY, possibly LRM-ish? Going to need to check a recording afterwards. #U2360WPG
@atu2 Yeah, I (Ax) caught that in AIWIY too … couldn’t pick what it was, if it was a snippet.
Bono pays respect to Sinatra and talks about how Stay’s working title in the Zooropa sessions was Sinatra #U2360WPG
Stay (Faraway, SO Close is ninth - NOT Love Rescue Me (my bad) #U2360WPG
I think…? He started singing “Love”,, I hit Tweet, and then he stopped. Umm, you may want to disregard that last one. #U2360WPG
Love Rescue Me; full song or snippet? #U260WPG
Ax again, can’t believe I’ve never heard AIWIY live. It always returns to the set just AFTER I see them. But glad it’s back in the mix!
And Edge is having some guitar problems; no doubt distracted by @EdgeFest’s sign during this song! #U2360WPG
Eighth song of the night is All I Want Is You #U2360WPG
And that’s a snip of Where Have All The Flowers Gone? by Pete Seeger in UTEOTW. #U2360WPG
Hey, Ax here (I’m not dead!), just checking in to say this is a damn fine feed from @EdgeFest! #U2360WPG
And Until the End of the World rolls in at lucky number 7. Everyone dancing in their seats? #U2360WPG
Sixth song of the night is Elevation. #U2360WPG
Feed is back; the service being used, Twitcasting, requires a refresh by the transmitter every 30 min. WIll happen again. #U2360WPG
paovillacis @u2gigs Listening Live from Winnipeg Canada (online) I miss #U2, It sounds good!! (#U2360WPG live on http://moi.st/19ec41 )
Mysterious Ways is fifth, and presumably still in the neutered fornat. #U2360WPG
@atu2 Hahah, well we can always dream!
That would be a definite yes to the gospel addition. #U2360WPG
Fourth song of the night is Magnificent; will they keep the new gospel element? #U2360WPG
For those missing the stream, you can find it here: http://twitcasting.tv/ed… #U2360WPG #U2WPG #U2360CAN
With a kickass rendition of Oh Canada mixed in that was missing from Toronto 09
Boots is third #U2360WPG
Big thanks to @EdgeFest for the first real stream of this North American leg! Hopefully there will be many more to come! #U2360WPG
I Will Follow
Even Better Tha n the Real Thing; we have stream!
Nothing live yet, but @EdgeFest is trying to get us a stream. PS, Space Oddity. http://twitcasting.tv/ed…
People starting to complain about cell phone reception in the Stadium. #U2360WPG
Our article on the concert can be found here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… not long until showtime! #U2360WPG
Hey @EdgeFest, look who it is! RT @catygomes: #U2360WPG http://twitpic.com/54evff via @twitpic
@SheisCreeCBC Congrats! I hope you enjoy the show!
RT @joshayersdrums: according to U2 Manitoba is a state…which it’s not, and also Winnipeg is spelt with 2 “n’s” not one. #U2Wpg #U2360Wpg
RT @alancross: U2 spells “Winnipeg” wrong.http://yfrog.com/hsx74thj
HeavyMonoE @u2gigs Larry plays Basil, Edge plays Sybil, Adam plays Polly, and Bono plays Manuel.
_Dream_Out_Loud @u2gigs bono is Basel. Always lying through his teeth to the paying public telling them that everything is fine.
RT @lindseywiebe: Oh, dear. #u2360wpg RT @mikeduerksen: U2 screen spells Winnipeg wrong. #fail http://instagr.am/p/E6lr…
Time for the question of the day! U2 have been cast in a remake of Fawlty Towers; who do they play? #U2360WPG
Evening everyone! What time is it in the world? #U2360WPG
The Fray have taken the stage; thanks @hjwallace1 #U2360WPG
RT @bigblue1ca: @ctvwinnipeg Osborne St underpass is closed and wesrbound traffic on Jubilee is backed up to Osborne. #U2wpg #U2360wpg
@EdgeFest I tried often but at 90% networks were down. Good luck and enjoy the concert :-)
@atu2 hopefully the network will be ok later. Don’t forget you must restart the stream with this service every 30 minutes @EdgeFest // Matt
EdgeFest Glad to hear feed sounds good! Conserving battery for tonight - more after 9pm local!
On a side note, I like that #U2360WPG is only one hour behind Ontario; maybe I won’t fall asleep this time!
Seems as if they are really concentrating on Magnificent with these new elements. Have rehearsed it three times so far
Amazing quality on that stream; can’t wait for tonight! Thanks @EdgeFest!
U2 checking Magnificent again. #U2360WPG
RT @monicabernadsky: Wearing popmart tour tshirt to get in the mood for tonight. Not that mood needs any boosting #U2360WPG
Robbie_J @u2gigs: little known #U2 fact. Last time they played #WPG in ’97, Edge had a bad case of the flu. He told me so after the gig. #U2360WPG
EdgeFest Bono checking now. Magnificent…
RT @hiattb: Did I mention that Turn Off the Dark got a standing ovation Friday night?
EdgeFest But the real news is… U2s First Lady is here - the REAL Mrs The Edge… He walked in with Morleigh :D pic later (on camera not phone)
RT @hjwallace1: U2 just arrived #u2360WPG Bono had his window down. Edge and Adam just waved when they got out. http://twitpic.com/54bzzi
Hey everyone, do any of you have any spare tickets? @SheisCreeCBC from Canada’s national news network will love you for it! #U2360WPG
@pearljamgirl85 Always a pleasure :)
@EdgeFest @hjwallace1 Hope you two aren’t too cold waiting in line. Did you remember your sign?
@Lunnzies I think BBC normally airs it live.
@SheisCreeCBC There are a couple of spots where you can stand outside and still see the stage/hear the band. Worth trying out.
@AntonVonDraco The Fray
@Lunnzies Probably not at this stage. Seems as if they’ve been doing it for the Achtung Baby documentary. Might show up at Glasto though
@pearljamgirl85 Not yet; nobody on stage. Just song being played over PA
All indications are that there will be a feed tonight, the first of this North American leg. Stay tuned ;-) #U2360WPG
U2 not currently on stage. What people can hear are taped versions of The Fly and Magnificent. #U2360WPG
RT @honey_child: Holy crap, I think my car may be behind U2’s fleet of fancy cars! #U2360WPG

The crew is starting to check some songs by the sounds of it. EBTTRT, MW, Elevation, AIWIY, Pride, Zooropa. Thanks @Drea104 #U2360WPG

RT @hjwallace1: #U2360WPG GA line. Fun! http://twitpic.com/547el1
The question now is if U2 will be at the stadium or the Burt; and if the latter, will anybody be there to tweet during the day? :-)
tony_chiappetta @u2gigs :-) I shot that ;-) that’s my youtube channel and our posse made the MOFO signs( we had ten).
Hey #Winnipeg, try not to explode with excitement today! What time is it in the world? We’ll be with you all through #U2360WPG!
@tony_chiappetta Yes, found it via your UTEOTW footage from Winnipeg. Funny idea with so many signs just in front of him :)
CelticArche @u2gigs GA line at 164. Word has it that they’ll let us in 100 at a time. #U2360WPG
Here is a short clip of the Mofo snippet Bono did in Mexico. You can clearly see a fans Mofo sign right in front of Bono http://u2.gs/ka

MT @SheisCreeCBC: It’s me and my cameraman Jaison who scared the bad clouds away with our U2 music barreling down Highway 1!! #u2360wpg
@blasisaguirres I think it’s Slug, but that’s just me :P
RT @tony_chiappetta: Very quiet at theater. Drivers have all shown up. Remote audio truck doors closed . Could b a wrap. #u2360WPG
@blasisaguirres Doubt any of it will make it onto the tour. Glastonbury is a maybe for some songs like The Fly; remaster for rest.
Our report on the Achtung Baby video shoot is now live here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
@U2TourHans Damn beautiful version too, eh? :)
Earlier this May in Berlin I’ve heard guitar to nearly all songs from AB from the Meistersaal. Time will tell what they’re doing /Matt
partygirlu2 @u2gigs I’m hoping for ACROBAT,it will be a dream listen to the live version!!!!
cbarghout @u2gigs @Robbie_J says they r recording a 25th anniversary Actung Baby album. U2’s Prod Mgr told me they often film stuff on the road
Oops, scratch that. RT @tony_chiappetta: @u2gigs no,the #achtung songs have not been in album order .
So @tony_chiappetta confirms AB was in order: U2 have done Zoo Station, EBTTRT, One, and Streets
Of course, that is still a rather large assumption
So based on that, the previous tweet, and assuming it’s in the tracklisting order, U2 have played Zoo Station, EBTTRT, One, and Streets
RT @tony_chiappetta: Curveball! From One into Streets !!!! Wow . Party in the parking lot !!!!!!! #u2360WPG
Hoosier2012 @u2gigs So how much is “in its entirety” so far…?
atu2 Documentary or not, if they put U2 playing ABABY in full on the remaster, they could sell it for $200 and we’d all buy.
So Cruel and Acrobat are two songs that have never been done full band before. So Cruel had just 3 acoustic performances. Dream for the doc!
“Don’t believe what you hear… don’t believe what you see…” Hey, we can dream out loud, right?
If anyone down at the Burt has a recorder/stream…. #U2360WPG
RT @hjwallace1: Screen is extended. Black clouds rolling in. Wind picking up. #U2360WPG http://twitpic.com/53uu40

Seriously, Winnipeg seems to ready to explode. Why has it taken 14 years for U2 to return? #U2360WPG

TrailerTrsh @u2gigs Bono was at the Prince House of Blues show in Hollywood. Perhaps a rented theatre is prep for U2 to do the same. Prince was amazing.
guinsters92 @u2gigs I’m the only Brit who is aware of the achtung remaster. Definitely a promotion if you ask me. Hope UK falls back in love with them!
