atu2 So here ya go: AWESOME video of “All I Want Is You” with blind fan on stage http://youtu.be/xNZjfz8r… #u2360nas #u2vu
terryweaver @u2gigs @atu2 here is the bands set list from tonights show. Got it from Dallas after the show http://post.ly/2KAno
So apparently the guy who got up to play AIWIY at #U2360NAS was blind. Why didn’t I use my cane to get on stage in Melbourne and play 11OTT!
This is Ax, signing off after a memorable #U2VU gig. Major thanks again to @bethandbono, who I feel I haven’t thanked enough for the feed!
So here is the full Nashville setlist and show info: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU
Sorry for the delay with show write-up; surprise AIWIY meant I had to quickly change what I had drafted. #U2360NAS #U2VU
Woah, the guy who played AIWIY with the band got to keep Bono’s Gretsch! I know a few people who’ll be VERY jealous. #U2360NAS #U2VU
Now that is the end for real. Huge HUGE thanks to @bethandbono for the AMAZING stream, one of the best we’ve had. Loved it! #U2360NAS #U2VU
@Hoosier2012 Correct.
Well shit people, those of you who, like Matkin and me, were wishing for AIWIY to come back have got our wish! #U2360NAS #U2VU
@u2_news Actually, the Denver rehearsal is in Various Dates already and isn’t inflating the U2gigs count.
He’s correct too! (The count on U2gigs would say 101, but that includes Barca dress rehearsal which I’ll move to Various Dates soon.)
@wxander (And obviously a sarcastic idea totally rigged in my favour, hehehe.)
@wxander …make tickets linked to U2 knowledge, so the diehards get in and the industry people who know nothing fail to qualify. ;)
@wxander Oh I’m not saying it should happen, but in a dreamworld …! Of course, as I often sarcastically suggest, you could…
@comay Still surprised they gave up on some of them so quickly. Maybe if this had been an arena tour…
@wxander Now if they played small clubs in Melbourne, I could probably work a few connections to get in. Friends of friends in bands FTW.
First song of second encore is Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. 22nd song of the night. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@wxander It seemed to work in 2005 when The Electric Co. went down a treat and Boy’s sales went up. Not so much this tour it seems.
@wxander If I had my way, U2 would play in 300-capacity clubs to people who sing along to Luminous Times and Boy/Girl, heh.
@wxander But this is just starting to feed into my hate of stadium gigs and all the barely-even-casual fans who rock up.
@wxander Yeah, it was really weird, who knew so much could change in 4 years. Person beside me night 1 had no idea what IWF was either, ugh.
As we move through the encores, you can catch up on the full set here: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU
@wxander Striking to compare Melbourne 2006 to 2010. 2006? Bad got HUGE reaction. Last year? Lots of people looked lost. Same venue too.
@wxander I was very glad when Pride dropped out of set. Wish they’d do Bad instead, but that’s had some disturbingly weak crowd reactions.
20th song of the night, first of the encore, is One. One! ONE! (Sorry, I let my inner Desmond Tutu get carried away.) #U2360NAS #U2VU
@StephFerry I def think JT would be better represented by Bullet than ISHFWILF being trotted out yet again. Bullet —> Exit would rule.
I guess this is a tacit nod to Magnif (and its new version with the Tutu samples) being left out of the set. #U2360NAS #U2VU
Interesting how the Desmond Tutu video is back rather than the Aung San Suu Kyi video. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@wxander And why would we want to hear anything from Pop? Sigh.
@halloweenbeat Haha.
@StephFerry Honestly, I think Bullet needed a rest, just because they seemed to have lost passion for it in 05. Hope it’s back next tour.
@CharlieAscarate Yeah, I miss the old SBS reprise. They’ve done that periodically over various tours, but not at all this tour.
@louisy_u2 Nope, Pride is leading SBS. See here: http://www.u2gigs.com/mo…
@U2Nurse Well, it doesn’t help that I (Ax) don’t know the song. Glad to know other people are out there to spot these things! Thanks!
Psycho Killer and Life During Wartime snips too at the end, and there was a Miss You snip at the start of Crazy. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@StephFerry Of the 3 of us, Matkin was the only one to catch a North American show (Toronto). Matt & Ax caught almost all ’09 European show.
RT @brewingkris: Police closing the street. Too many people outside the stadium! #U2 #Vanderbilt http://yfrog.com/gyu51hrj #U2360NAS #U2VU
Okay, my audio seems to be lagging a minute or two behind for me. Question from my girlfriend on Skype: ok, did i hear 1, 2, 6, 14? SIX?!
RT @atu2: People watching/listening from the streets outside. RT @AshMeCa: I’m totally blown away by #U2 … http://yfrog.com/h8i0ovnj
RT @atu2comSherry: @u2gigs Is it possible to be mild and green and not be squeaky clean?
The inclusion of Zooropa in the set is almost as exciting to me (Ax) as Essendon’s win over Geelong last night. ALMOST. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@mduchek As far as I’m aware, Comedy never got rehearsed. Never in Barca or any soundchecks anyway.
@Gravy1199 Haha!
@StephFerry What about NLOTH the song? That dominated in Europe in 2009.
@dte421 Heh, fair enough, though I consider playing for TV to count as playing for an audience too, just in a different way.
allinelemos @u2gigs that’s a shame. nloth has so many beautiful songs and has been so summarily ignored. unknown caller is a brilliant song.
And if you’re just tuning in, here’s the full set so far: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU
Just imagine the snip outro of BDay leading into the (original) Magnif intro, then big Magnif ending leading into Pride’s 1st notes. Nice.
I (Ax) really think Magnificent would be better between BDay & Pride than Elevation is. But it seems dead like most NLOTH songs. #U2360NAS
@dte421 It counts just as much as any other performance for TV counts. Honestly it prob counts more than taped/mimed Top Of The Pops gigs!
@atu2 It was ninth last time out too
@Drea104 It wasn’t even half the lyrics by my reckoning (Ax).
The Wanderer HAS been played live before, 2005-11-02. http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
@Silvox Not the debut. The Wanderer was played live in 2005 for a TV show tribute to Johnny Cash.
I want to see The Wanderer again after this concert finishes. The Wanderer has never ever appeared at an actual U2 concert before
Sorry but The Wanderer will only be counted as a snip. To be listed sep, it has to be an independent performance. That was dependent on ISHF
RT @atu2comSherry: Question for the show followers - does Wanderer count as a separate song as it was 2 verses and 2 choruses?
Stay is eighth. Guess North Star was just one show. And I vote The Wanderer be listed as a separate song ;-) #U2360NAS #U2VU
RT @RnbwDashIsWin: @EveryBrokenWave Ok, a Wanderer snip… I didn’t see THAT on the printed set (yes, the snips were listed on there)
Snippet of The Wanderer! What a surprise! Shock of the night! Quite a lengthy one too! #U2360NAS #U2VU
Like Matkin, I (Ax) really miss AIWIY in this slot. Wonder if it will return at Montreal 2?
Bono’s Speech is followed of course by I Still Haven’t Found Where I Left All I Want Is You. #U2360NAS #U2VU
Didn’t sound like there was a snip to me (Ax), just Bono weaving his Tehran stuff into UTEOTW. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@sirens_wail Yes, though not since The Unforgettable Fire tour
I hope Ax caught that snippet (if it was one), I’ve only got one ear on the feed - the other is trained on the 1971 film Le Mans #U2360NAS
Fourth up is Until the End of the World. I still wonder how they created that ‘siren’ (for lack of a better word) to open #U2360NAS #U2VU
RT @jaqchapman: #U2VU you are getting a better light show than we did in the late sunset of East Lansing last week.
Third is Mysterious Ways. Toronto 1 back in 2009 remains the last time it missed a U2 concert. #U2360NAS #U2VU
@atu2comSherry If UV makes it into the set, you can pretend you said that rather than EBTTRT. ;)
Argh, I have alcohol in my ear! How did my headphones manage to get themselves dipped in my cider? #U2360NAS #U2VU
Here is our mainpage article where we will be posting the full setlist live: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS
Stream from @bethandbono here: http://twitcasting.tv/be… #U2360NAS #U2VU
@sirens_wail I recommend checking out the performance of Wire on 1985-03-21, Chicago.
@sirens_wail Wire was played (at least) 80 times on the UF Tour: http://www.u2gigs.com/Wi…
I (Ax) think the rare few times U2 got full band SATS to work early on Popmart, it was better than studio version. Acoustic SATS = no thanks
(Though before Ac gets the chance to jump in, full band Staring at the Sun was attempted - and failed - many times early on in PopMart)
@jcop815 Sweetest Thing was played live 30 times in 2000-01: http://www.u2gigs.com/Sw…
The best answer? RT @ST_U2 full band Staring at the Sun (lol)
Red Hill Mining Town and Promenade are two surprisingly popular choices! And Heartland is also much desired. My own vote? Drowning Man!
I was expecting 90% of the answers to be Acrobat, but a surprising number of people have voted otherwise.
You’ve probably heard the snippet many times yourself; it’s on the Vertigo Tour DVD ;-)
To answer Matkin’s question, one of my (Ax) favourite three U2 songs is Heartland. Would love them to play it someday.
Snippetwatch! Thanks to @EveryBrokenWave for noticing Drowning Man snippeted during Beautiful Day on 2005-05-10: http://bit.ly/lnGQT2
If U2 were to debut a never played song - WILATW, Heartland, Drowning Man etc - and asked you which they should play, what would you suggest
Possible stream tonight via @bethandbono: http://twitcasting.tv/be… #U2360NAS #U2VU
RT @EdgeFest: Our Red Zone usher just told me that he doesn’t even look at my wristband anymore, just my hat. #U2360NAS
They were brief Miami snips in EBTTRT and HMTMKMKM; All You Need Is Love in Streets; Where Have All The Flowers Gone? in UTEOTW. #U2360MIA
Just got around to adding more snippets to #U2360MIA set. All courtesy of @u2start, thanks! See next tweet for snips…
Via @jetrojetro and @CelticArche, #U2360NAS soundcheck by the crew: Zooropa, COBL, Vertigo, MOS, EBTTRT, Pride, Streets. No band soundcheck.
