The below is an off-site archive of all most tweets posted by @u2gigs ever

May 16th, 2011

arturoelias I get my nose everywhere but here is where my eyes belong: Bono , hablando del #museosoumaya http://lockerz.com/s/102…

 via UberSocial (retweeted on 11:31 PM, May 16th, 2011  via Twitter for iPhone)

@U2Tito81 Here’s the link to the studio version of Scarlet … I think you’ll agree then :) http://www.youtube.com/w…

 via Twitter for Mac in reply to U2Tito81

@U2Tito81 Just listen to Rejoice on the album and you’ll get it.

 via Twitter for Mac in reply to U2Tito81

@S_Hiroe His tour is ending in Mexico now.

 via Twitter for iPhone in reply to S_Hiroe

All Mexico #3 clips are now available here http://u2.gs/mex3videos Thanks to terrorsittich for all the high quality footage!

 via U2gigs (Matt)

@Gravy1199 It has been missed during a few first leg shows in Europe as well.

 via U2gigs (Matt) in reply to Gravy1199

It is Play Me by Neil Diamond thanks to @TheGreenWelly

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Anyone can make out what Bono is singing at the beginning of Streets here? http://u2.gs/k6 #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Even Better Than The Real Thing and Magnificent added to Mexico #3 video article http://u2.gs/mex3videos #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

That’s all from terrorsittich for now but a few more will be added in a few hours #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Crazy Tonight and City Of Blinding Lights from Mexico by terrorsittich http://u2.gs/mex3videos #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

@MainlyEcho Judging from just the setlist I’d say yes :)

 via Twitter for Mac in reply to MainlyEcho

Elevation from Mexico City http://u2.gs/mex3videos Bono lifts a little boy to the stage around 1:55 #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Here is Vertigo http://u2.gs/mex3videos notice the girl storming the stage around the 3 minute mark #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

All I Want Is You from U2’s third Mexico City show shot by terrorsittich http://u2.gs/mex3videos #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Love Rescue Me from U2’s third show in Mexico City courtesy of terrorsittich http://u2.gs/mex3videos #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matt)

And that’s it for Mexico. Thanks to EVERYBODY who tweeted, you were great! Full setlist & stats here: http://u2.gs/MX3 #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@llootsteen39 Nope, all the tweets from the venue seem baffled. Hope we get some video and that Bono enunciated the lyrics clearly enough!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to llootsteen39

24th and presumably last is Moment Of Surrender. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

23rd song is With Or Without You. #u2360mex

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Looks like that tweet took a while to go through and didn’t make it until the song began! I’m right, 22nd is HMTMKMKM. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

So, second encore approaches. HMTMKMKM or UV? My bet is on the former. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Rafifern Woah, cool. At gigs, we’re usually busy filming the surprising songs. ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Rafifern

The big moment: 21st is Streets, preceded by an unknown snip (not Amazing Grace). #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Rafifern Thanks. :) This tour, between the 3 of us, at least one of us has been at about 2/3rds of the gigs.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Rafifern

@Zooomerang I’ll never understand why those songs weren’t on albums! Two of the band’s best.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Zooomerang

20th song of the night and first of encore is One. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

You’ll Never Walk Alone snip in Walk On, via @rrafmn. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Rafifern We aren’t at every gig (though are at many). When we aren’t there, we use a network of people to make sure we can report set live.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Rafifern

With the main set drawing to a close, catch up on the full setlist here: http://u2.gs/MX3 #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

And of course, after Scarlet is Walk On in 19th. #u2360mex

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Zooomerang I most want them to bring back Mofo. It’d tear the house down.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Zooomerang

@alljokesmustgo I don’t know, unfortunately. Hope it did, but guessing prob not.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to alljokesmustgo

18th is Scarlet. I’ll keep hoping for Rejoice one of these days. ;) #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Crazy Tonight DID have the Discotheque and Please snippets, though. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Alas, 17th is Sunday Bloody Sunday rather than Discotheque. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

C’mon U2, you know you don’t want to just snippet Discotheque tonight … you want to play it in full! Go on go on go on go on. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Gravy1199 Yeah, think it’s unchanged. Don’t see them separating those 2 songs before the end of the tour.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Gravy1199

But you’d know if it was me, because if I charged the stage, 11 O’clock Tick Tock would be the result!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I remember in Nov 2006, a guy ran on stage at Auckland 2. My father, elsewhere in the venue to me, wondered if it was me. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

And @The_Impulse reports that a fan managed to climb onstage during Vertigo! Haha. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

16th is Crazy Tonight. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Of course, 15th is Vertigo. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@u2aovivo Ah, shame. I had heard there may have been a snippet, but I don’t know what song at all.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to u2aovivo

@u2aovivo UC snip in AIWIY? Is that true?

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to u2aovivo

14th is City Of Blinding Lights. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

And for those who wondered, @racso2099 says “Love rescue me in full band not snippet”. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

13th is that most awesome of live resurrections, ZOOROPA! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Blackbird snip in BD, via @elpinchetorres. Next is Miss Sarajevo. #U2360MEX.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

11th is Beautiful Day, as usual. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

As well as @racso2099 and @The_Impulse, we also thank @rrafmn, @jair_nomi, and @All_Blacks68 for their info from the venue.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Yay, Wikipedia is saved - I can continue to edit! Good night world. *Falls asleep*

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

So this is just the third performance of LRM since 1990-01-10. The other two were last December in Australia. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Gravy1199 @u2gigs Watching you too go back and forth is like listening to a Schizophrenic decide on dinner…

 via Seesmic for Android (retweeted on 5:21 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

Harmonica in AIWIY, via @The_Impulse. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Well well, @racso2099 reports ninth is LOVE RESCUE ME. #U2360MEX.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@isamoras Yeah, but that was just a snippet. The Aussie performances were both full versions. It was also snippeted in Rome last year.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to isamoras

(Please nobody hold me to that!)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

One (planned) surprise to come. If it’s In a Little While I will give up editing Wikipedia.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

This is just the third 360 gig to feature AIWIY, after Sydney 2 and Perth 2 last year. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

WOAH HANG ON A MINUTE. Forget ISHFWILF - eighth is ALL I WANT IS YOU!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Take care of everyone, Ax; no falling for false streams! ;-)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

And goodnight to Matkin and his counterweight to my contrarian and cynical ways. ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Bono’s an innovative man. The band conspire to make sure he can’t speechify before One… so he turns to ISHFWILF!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

The Bono Speech (I still think this should be listed as a separate song entry; it is long enough most nights!) #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

ClaytonsKitten @u2gigs Larry will win. It’s still HIS band. Sry Bono. ;)

 via web (retweeted on 5:08 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

Well everyone, that’s it from me (Matkin) tonight. Don’t worry though; Ax has you covered, so you’re in average hands ;-)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @Axver @u2gigs Top Gear and racial stereotypes … devolving into Larry vs Bono having a go at the Cool Wall.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

ZooPony @u2gigs It’s @racso2099 not @rasco2099 ;)

 via web (retweeted on 5:05 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

@ZooPony …Oops. Thanks for catching me!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

First night Bono talked about those killed in the drug violence. Last night it was the border and illegal guns. What tonight? #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Until the End of the World slots in seventh #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@seak13 I (Ax) think the old version was better - the Tutu sample makes no sense and I really miss the original intro.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to seak13

Setlist so far: EBTTRT-NYD-Boots-Magnificent-MW-Elevation #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@rasco2099 No worries mate; just enjoy the concert :)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Mysterious Ways is fifth; probably still the neutered version, as Ax describes it :P

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Making it the second remix of the night, after EBTTRT of course

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Once again it is the new remixed version of the song (thanks @rasco2099!)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Magnificent is dourth

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@elcholo_ Two Hearts Beat as One? 1989 in Dublin.

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to elcholo_

Only too well; but this night won’t break U2Gigs - I have work at 5am!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Goddamnit Matkin! ;) We shouldn’t tag-team this too much - remember what happened that one time we thought it was a good idea!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Third is Boots.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Get on Your Wellies slots into its usual third position #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@elcholo_ THBAO? Last played 1989-12-27, Dublin (which is notably the only time it has been played since 1985).

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to elcholo_

@seak13 The only show Magnificent opened was 2009-09-21, Foxboro. Stingray opened both Zurich gigs (though Magnif was 2nd at one).

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to seak13

Ax does like to disagree with me; too bad he’s wrong most of the time! ;-)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Is there a sombrero in the house tonight? #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Here’s our mainpage article where we will be posting the full Mexico City 3 set live: http://u2.gs/MX3 #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I (Ax) being the contrarian I am, must disagree with Matkin. There are 8 songs from War I want in the set before THBAO!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander I actually thought Breathe would have been a great closer; seeing it on Letterman made it seem like an unusual but good fit

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

popartist61 @u2gigs They did Stingray that 3rd night in Buenos Aires because I hadn’t been to a show with it yet and wanted to get it in person once. ;D

 via web (retweeted on 4:42 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

For something of a warhorse, it’s interesting this is only NYD’s second airing in 2011. #u2360mex

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I hate to be a stick-in-the-mud so early on, but it would be even nicer if it were Two Hearts Beat as One! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@seak13 Heh, yeah, I can see why Magnificent didn’t get a 2nd chance as opener…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to seak13

Second is New Year’s Day; nice to have it back! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@wxander First U2 tour since LoveTown I think (unless you count the Hershey rehearsel in ZooTV)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@wxander I’m honestly glad U2 broke the cliche of a new song always being the opener. It’s a fairly meaningless stat but god fans hyped it.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

And I’m with Matkin - EBTTRT is the opener this tour has been crying out for. Well, except for NLOTH, which always should’ve been opener.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Looks like EBTTRT has settled in as permanent opener, even on third nights. So much for Stingray pushing itself into the set at BA 3!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I do love EBTTRT as the new opener. So much better than Beautiful Day and Breathe! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Thanks to @rasco2099; enjoy the concert!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Even Better Than the Real thing opens

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Space Oddity’s playing over the PA; here we go! #u2360mex

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Andreama2010 @ritababy Was working a few minutes ago. Will probably come back on at showtime. Fingers crossed anyways.

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to Andreama2010

I believe that is courtesy of @u2mexico - let’s hope the signals stay up tonight! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Interesting choices everyone. By the way, a possible stream: http://www.ustream.tv/ch…

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

prossel @u2gigs Larry is a woodpecker, Adam a wise owl, Edge is a raven, Bono is a peacock!

 via UberSocial (retweeted on 4:24 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

SeattleB @u2gigs Edge is a songbird :) Adam is a cockatiel, for obvious reasons! Larry is a raven, and Bono a squawking crow!

 via web (retweeted on 4:24 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

ghsunshine @u2gigs Adam a dove, Bono an eagle, Larry a penguin and Edge would be a wise owl

 via TweetDeck (retweeted on 4:21 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

@racso2099 It is much appreciated! :) @kayirowling blames TelMex for the bad signals :P

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to racso2099

racso2099 @u2gigs ok I’ll do it. It looks that something are interfering with the cellular signals here!! #U2360MEX #fail!

 via Twittelator (retweeted on 4:20 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

growlingsoulpup @u2gigs Bono would be an eight-inch cockatoo, obviously…

 via web (retweeted on 4:19 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

If the members of U2 were birds, what kind would they be?

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@racso2099 No worries at all; a reliable tweet is still awesome! Can you let us know of any snippets you hear too? :)

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to racso2099

Not long until showtime! What time is it in the world? #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@womanfish_14 Honestly, I’m starting to wonder if it IS in the set, given Dallas’s comment re: 2 surprises.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to womanfish_14

This is the last “third night” of tour, at least as far as cities with 3 consecutive gigs go. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Looks like Snow Patrol are done in Mexico City. Should be about 45 minutes until U2 are on. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Snow Patrol are on stage in Mexico City, incidentally. #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@womanfish_14 It was, but I’m hoping it doesn’t get beyond that soundcheck. ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to womanfish_14

@atu2 What’s the source on NYD? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times but not with a link to source. Am curious!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to atu2

Yes, I know Stay/Desire weren’t done in a soundcheck, but stripped-back numbers like that require much less prep than Discotheque would.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@S_Hiroe I think tonight is his last show but not 100% sure about that.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to S_Hiroe

Ax here, my predictions are NYD 2nd, Bad & UC mid-set, HMTM in encore. Wouldn’t predict Disco since only snip has been rehearsed.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Looks like this show will be a scorcher; rain in Mexico City earlier, soundcheck of City and Zooropa, possible stream, and maybe 2 surprises

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@racso2099 Awesome mate! Keep us updated, and enjoy the concert! :-)

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to racso2099

racso2099 @@u2mexico.@u2gigs I have enough signal for stream!! http://lockerz.com/s/102…

 via Twittelator (retweeted on 1:55 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

racso2099 @u2gigs maybe I can stream the concert this night!! I just need electricity !!! http://lockerz.com/s/102…

 via Twittelator (retweeted on 1:52 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

Lots of people guessing Discotheque and, surprisingly, full-band Fez.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

My 2 predictions for the surprises are Unknown Caller and Discotheque; though I wouldn’t say no to Slug and Drowning Man! #U2360MEX

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

For those asking, still no word of a stream for #U2360MEX; though it’s still early for tonight

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

harbinger384 @u2gigs Slug and Love Comes Tumbling - nah, it’ll probably be NYD, UC and Love Rescue Me (NYD not a surprise, just a change)

 via web (retweeted on 12:33 AM, May 16th, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

@TiffMn No, sadly. We will post a link if we hear of one though!

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to TiffMn

Time to guess those two special surprises!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @The_Impulse: …That today will b 2 special surprises in the setlist #U2360mex

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @The_Impulse I’m with @i_Zepeda who just talked to Dallas Schoo. Said that Out of control yesterday was his idea and… #U2360mex

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

MT @chorigutierrez Reports that Dallas Schoo sayed there going to be 2 special surprises in the setlist today…
