@WTSHNN Woops, you are quite correct. I’ve amended the article!
markpeterboro U2 Setlist data after Montreal night 1 (14 gigs) #setlistgeek #U2ieTour @u2gigs http://t.co/SNoytFKuXc
atu2 Housekeeping note: The “La Vie En Rose” snippet tonight was clearly at the start of With Or Without You, after Beautiful Day had ended.
@thescreendoor @rw90745 I thought I never wanted to hear Bullet ever again after the Vertigo Tour, so I’m surprised how great it sounds now.
@rebecca_vincent And keep an eye on @U2start’s website because no doubt there’ll be a bootleg soon. Was during Pride & led to Beautiful Day.
@rebecca_vincent Think pic of at least 1 was shown on screen. I’m sure there’ll be videos soon on YouTube.
@rebecca_vincent I can’t recall exactly what he said now, but it was in broader context of imprisonment of Amnesty Int’l members.
@bjornlodd It plays on the Buddhist idea of being at one with everything natural in the world.
@Brad_Schauer Bono, not content with mangling lyrics, is now mangling jokes.
@thescreendoor Bad? No. I’d def take Bullet over One or ISHFWILF, but then I would take five minutes of silence over them. /Ax’s-U2-heresy
I’d just like to close tonight’s coverage by saying thanks to @u2wanderer for an excellent Mixlr stream!
@Robbie_J Wow, 18 years ago now, time flies. Can’t believe U2 have only been to Manitoba twice, 1997 and 2011.
@sunskits @atu2comSherry I hope this becomes a trend.
I’ve updated our mainpage article on Montreal 1 with the full set and show info: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
That’s the end of the show. Setlist is here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@StanfordSteph @atu2 He used to snip All You Need Is Love in that spot. At any rate it’s ref to California now even if he said it earlier ;)
23. I Still Haven’t Found. Bono: “Why are we still here? Good question! This is song is the answer to that question.” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono dad joke time: “Dalai Lama walks into a kebab shop. Says I’ll have one with everything.” #U2ieTour #U2
Literally none of the setlists from any of U2’s six concerts in Canada on the Boy Tour are known. That’s a shame.
Pretty sure it’s 1981-03-09, #U2’s first show in Montreal (for which the setlist is unfortunately unknown). https://twitter.com/U2Po…
Bono: “we need more Canadas in the world”, leading into the snippet of Mother And Child Reunion. You know where this leads… #U2ieTour #U2
@k_now_waite Hmm. Perhaps a mangled version! Will have to check this after the show. Thanks!
Over outro to COBL, Bono says what a blessing it is to know each of his bandmates and “to know you, to know you”. #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 I’ll take this show over Denver 2 on the basis of Electric Co. But yeah.
@blue_gaze He’s snippeted it once before, at the end of Sometimes You Can’t Make It on 2006-12-09 in Hawaii.
@ClaytonsKitten @atu2 Possibly too coherent to be Bongoliese!
@erikmissio Wish it had been Rain - I enjoy the ramshackle versions of it U2 have played in the past.
It’s the encore break now. Catch up on the main set here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
There was a very brief La Vie En Rose snippet after BDay - but the lengthy part still seems to be a mystery. #U2ieTour #U2
@erikmissio Definitely wasn’t Rain.
Long snippet at the end of BDay but I have no idea what it is, something about when the sun is shining & the rain is falling. #U2ieTour #U2
@thescreendoor I’d say it’s sounding pretty fresh this tour after missing 360. Much better than those awful Vertigo Tour versions anyway.
@U2Sydney @hjwallace1 Hahaha, see it’s a sign Melbourne really is the best. ;)
U2BROTHR My god. I’m in tears. Thank you to all U2 fans across the world. I’m shaking. One love to all. Dreams do come true. #U2ieTour
He has also namechecked violence and human rights abuses elsewhere in the world, e.g. Yemen and Azerbaijan. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is talking mid-Pride about Kazakhstan, “where an ugly dictator is imprisoning our friends in Amnesty International”. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono changes post-Bullet schtick to “don’t shoot, I’m a Canadian!… America’s not a country, it’s an idea, and the French invented it!” #U2
@U2Sydney @hjwallace1 @U2BROTHR As an adopted Melburnian, let me say BOOOOOO SYDNEY
No snippet of 19 in Bullet tonight (but Bono is still using the megaphone). Very few snippets at all so far. #U2ieTour #U2

Text of the “justice for the forgotten” visuals in Raised By Wolves is in French tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. There was the usual Psalm 23 snippet at the end of Raised By Wolves. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney However did you guess!
@EveryBrokenWave Yeah fair enough. But one less person to shoot the shit with and keep me entertained when they do Elevation/Stuck!
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Hahaha oh dear. So glad I got electric WGRYWH.
6. Cedarwood Road. More Periscope action. https://www.periscope.tv… #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave Oh no I’ll miss you being around! :(
@KevinMFeeney May 05 was peak of my fandom so oh god I must’ve been unbearable to people around me when they did TEC, An CatDubh, WGRYWH etc
@sb_wreeldeal Thereabouts, yeah.
@EveryBrokenWave Haha, I just looked it up - weird!
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1Sc18us
Bono chatting to the crowd: “What a great feeling to be standing here, the four of us with all of you.” Bits of French too. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono’s giving his mid-I Will Follow speech about the importance of surrender. “Who do you surrender to?” #U2ieTour #U2
@_aihsila I’ve spent a loooot of time in the depths of our database over the years!
@KevinMFeeney Nope. Electric Co was dropped after one bad crowd in Monterrey in Feb 06. Lucky I went to Boston May 05 too!
@atu2 I’m chuffed I managed to remember it, thanks to its appearances in UTEOTW on 360.
I hope that whenever #U2 make it to Australia (no solid rumours yet), they keep Electric Co. Hasn’t been done here since Sep 1984! #U2ieTour
On one of the Periscope feeds, somebody just yelled “wow! wow! wow!” Yep, my feelings about Electric Co exactly. #U2ieTour #U2
For those of you who dig Periscope, here’s a couple: https://www.periscope.tv… and https://www.periscope.tv… #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s our mainpage article where we’ll post the full Montreal 1 set as it progresses: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
1. #U2 have begun - and as usual by now it’s The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone). Need audio? Try here: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… #U2ieTour
@sb_wreeldeal I keep hoping…
@atu2comSherry Here’s a craaaazy guess: Vertigo somewhere in the main set.
@Rlabs19 I hope so! Imagine if there’s more variation it’ll be nights 3-4 though.
Setlist guesses tonight? I figure this show will feature Electric Co, a couple of Rattle & Hum songs, and Still Haven’t Found. #U2 #U2ieTour
@thom2805 Yep, and they manage to communicate more than most bands with vocalists.
Also, last night here in Melbourne I saw an epic gig by Sleepmakeswaves. If you like heavy, evocative instrumentals, do NOT miss them.
Ax here to take you through #U2’s 1st of 4 Montreal shows. Here’s a feed for tonight. #U2ieTour https://twitter.com/u2wa…
