@U2Sydney Especially not without the slide solo. It just isn’t right without the solo.
@Noodles105 Yeah, Discotheque would fit perfectly early in the 2nd set. Its return is well overdue!
@lambertspest Awesome! Bono’s pulled up many kids and many guitarists over the years, but never a kid who was also a guitarist!
@lambertspest Yeah lots of people take their kids to U2 shows. Bono sometimes even brings a kid on stage.
@lambertspest That is still yet to be confirmed, unfortunately.
markpeterboro U2 Setlist Stats after Montreal 2 (15 gigs) #setlistgeek #u2 #U2ieTour @u2gigs http://t.co/yyqIn53CU3
U2start New songs in the setlist:
Vertigo Tour first leg: 8
360 Tour first leg: 7
#U2ieTOUR first leg: 12
We all love the new songs.
Data: @u2gigs.
Sounds like the band are enjoying themselves in Montreal after tonight’s fun at the Bell Centre. https://twitter.com/DrSh…
@U2Sydney Haha, while I did it when I was a silly 19 year old. Though I very nearly travelled to Sydney for more Neil Finn shows last month.
Wow, how about this, the printed set has Volcano rather than Lucifer’s Hands! #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/U2is…
@u2wanderer Oh yeah, very true, and I’ve called out that lyric as an old activist cliche, but now it’s obv a ref to Invisible as well.
@U2Sydney Haha, Matt may travel to lots of shows, but my (Ax) days of following bands around are largely over.
Today’s performance of Out Of Control means it has already been played more on the #U2ieTour than on the whole 360 Tour (7 vs 6 times). #U2
@U2Sydney Here’s hoping they keep the arena shows when they come down to Australia… though 4+ gigs at Rod Laver will hurt my wallet.
Well that was quick - here’s a video of the live debut of Lucifer’s Hands tonight: https://youtu.be/QWFUFem… #U2ieTour #U2
@ekstewie Yeah might do some things differently now if starting from scratch, but too far gone now!
@thombullock He did sing it at some 1st leg shows.
@rossgperry @vetriu2 @atu2 Thank you!
Here is our mainpage article on Montreal 2 with full setlist and show info: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
That’s the end of Montreal 2. Thanks so much to @u2wanderer and @mysteriousdays for excellent Mixlr streams tonight! #U2ieTour #U2
@ekstewie There are always borderline cases like this. I’d be tempted to make different categories but that would lead to further messiness!
Somebody should compile a list of all crowds Bono has claimed to be the loudest he’s ever heard. Every city U2 have played in Latin America?
@ekstewie Because it’s not played separately from Streets, and the organ of the intro plays under most of it.
@atu2 @duuuaaaane Yep, he was definitely talking about Crystal Ballroom. I’m guessing a fan had a sign.
Now he’s thanking Joe O’Herlihy… moving onto his pre-Streets speech about Amnesty, One Campaign, etc. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono’s talking to someone in the crowd. “We’re not playing that … we’ll get to it.” Sounds like he was referring to Crystal Ballroom! #U2
@cfbuckster Called that at LA 5. ;) If it comes back, I expect it won’t be as encore opener.
Crowd was in fine voice chanting for an encore. Now the Stephen Hawking video is playing. #U2ieTour #U2
That’s the end of the main set. No Shine Like Stars. :( Check out full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@mvdarosa It’s surprising. Only previous album to not be represented on the next tour was when Popmart had no Zooropa songs.
@harrykantas Haha! It was rehearsed so I won’t be shocked if it gets a guernsey at some stage.
21. With Or Without You. This has been a great show so far Bono, now cap it off with SHINE LIKE STARS. #U2ieTour #U2
Another snip of Moment Of Surrender, this time in Bad. Lengthy. Wonder if it will be done in full soon? #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2comSherry Ugh no kidding. No counting how much time I’ve spent trying to pick some snips over the years.
@rebecca_vincent No worries! Pictures of the six were shown on screen too.
@ryannichols7 Funny what just a couple of songs can do.
@JereVenencia13 Pretty good strike rate today! Though I never would’ve predicted Lucifer’s Hands!
@rebecca_vincent Sorry didn’t get full text but he said he would hold AZ’s Pres responsible if anything happened to 6 prisoners. Named them.
U2Memes @AmnestyOnline [#Montreal - 13/06/2015]

#U2ieTourItaliaNews #U2ieTour #BellCentre #U2 http://t.co/kAjnKzc3tA
OK Bono, kindly enunciate and get the lyrics right when you do a snippet at the end of BDay tonight to save us all last night’s confusion!
@rebecca_vincent You may be interested to know Bono did passionate shout-out re: Amnesty Int’l in Azerbaijan again tonight.
@GarethW2610 I must admit, lingering 360 memories made Drowning Man briefly float through my head…
Bono names 6 members of Amnesty Int’l who’ve been imprisoned. Tells Azerbaijan pres he will hold him responsible if anything happens to them
Mid-Pride, Bono is speaking about Amnesty Int’l being banned from European Games in Azerbaijan. #U2ieTour #U2
@Maideneer Hahaha that would’ve been hilarious. It would fit with this Americentric section too, y’know…
The megaphone sounds good in Bullet’s grittiness, but uh Bono it doesn’t quite go with Edge’s chiming notes of Pride… #U2ieTour #U2
18. The Hands That Built America snippet leads to Pride. Bono briefly uses the megaphone again over Pride’s opening notes. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono again introduced the Hands snippet with “don’t shoot, I’m a Canadian … America is not a country, it’s an idea, a French idea”. #U2
Must admit, when Bono said “we’ve never played this”, I figured he meant “a song we haven’t played in two or three years”. /cynical-Ax #U2
@neifirst1 He has told fans it’s coming. But he said that about Mofo on the third leg of Vertigo too. (I, Ax, have a long and bitter memory)
I only just noticed that in my excitement I mislabelled Lucifer’s Hands as “Lucifer’s Hand” in announcing its debut. #U2ieTour #U2
adambernatt 20 seconds of Lucifers Hands @u2gigs #U2ieTour @workinggirl73 http://t.co/pjPEZHVdzT
I never expected it either - in fact, I never expected Lucifer’s Hands to ever be played. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/ryan…
Wow that was fun! Hey @u2wanderer, sounds like you enjoyed Lucifer’s Hands. Yes it did really happen! #U2ieTour #U2
Can’t wait to see everyone go even crazier when The Crystal Ballroom makes it’s debut. (Chris)
Chris popping in from vacation to say HOLY CRAP LUCIFERS HANDS!!! Incredible.
@jgindele1 REALLY!
Oh BTW, in the excitement I missed chance to say guy from crowd brought up to play Edge’s guitar at end of Angel of Harlem. #U2ieTour #U2
Wow, Lucifer’s Hands is a complete blindside. Didn’t have a rehearsal/soundcheck report of this. #U2ieTour #U2
HOOOOLY SHIT WHERE DID THIS COME FROM
15. “We want to do something that we’ve never played before… if it goes wrong, blame it on The Edge.” LUCIFER’S HAND LIVE DEBUT #U2ieTour
@JBOXX007 Scroll back a little in our feed, there are two very good Mixlr audio streams.
What’s next? When Love Comes To Town, missing for 4 shows? Stuck, missing for 5? SweetestThing, missing for 7? Something else? #U2ieTour #U2
14. Angel of Harlem, back after missing two shows - and another one of my predictions is nailed! #U2ieTour #U2
The woman from crowd is now doing Meerkat filming. “Be careful” he tells her “Larry might bite … Adam might take you home.” #U2ieTour #U2
I am, however, adamant that EBTTRT and MWays should rotate. They fill similar roles & would allow one more rotational slot. #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Live from Montreal. Tune in now… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1GCKOir
I seriously can’t believe #U2 abandoned EBTTRT from 9 June 2001 to 30 March 2011. It’s a crowd pleaser. #U2ieTour
@JeffReinhart77 Both the streams by @u2wanderer and @mysteriousdays sound fantastic tonight. A+ effort.
Need 2nd set audio? Try the great Mixlrs by @u2wanderer and @mysteriousdays: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… and http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
Intermission time with The Wanderer on screen. Catch up on the set here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@balski01 It’s an absolute highlight of this tour. I think it and Cedarwood are the best of the new songs.
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1SdOqvd
I’m sure Bono has told numerous cities they’re sexy! The “heat to North America” part may be true though. #U2ieTour #U2
After IWF, Bono addressing crowd in French & English. Claims he’s never told any other city they’re sexy & bring heat to North America. #U2
@vetriu2 @atu2 Oh I did think I heard something funny near end but thought Bono had just missed a cue. Will have to check after show.
Entering the Sex Pistols snip to database, I spoonerised it to Gove Sad The Queen. Might be a joke there for political-minded Brits.
@harrykantas Martin Hannett also gave them a big leg up. 11OTT single an obvious advance on U2:3 & Another Day.
@JackRyder120 The easiest place is on the deluxe version of Boy. Tracks 7-9 on the second disc are U2:3.
3. Vertigo. Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio snippet at start. Count-in in Spanish tonight (was in French yesterday). #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is giving his speech about surrender, “we come here to surrender to you”, in middle of OOC. “Are you in? ARE YOU IN?” #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney @JereVenencia13 Hahaha. It’s like how you can guarantee AIWIY won’t happen at any show I see. Nor will a live debut.
OOC is still a good song on U2:3, of course, but it could be recorded by any 2nd tier post-punk band. On Boy, it’s something special.
How many of you have listened to U2:3 version of OOC lately? Amazing how much it improved by Boy. Also, Edge loooved his flanger in ’79.
2. Out Of Control, back after missing one show. There’s my first setlist prediction nailed! #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s our mainpage article where we will have the full Montreal 2 set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@Tee_Hen10 We can hope! Nothing rehearsed yet. Gloria would suit the theme early in the 1st set.
@JereVenencia13 I wish I shared your optimism! I doubt it’ll show up before NYC 5 to 8.
@PascalGteD OOC = Out Of Control. My bet is no Crystal Ballroom until NYC or the European leg.
My French is almost non-existent, but I think Bono began by yelling “the most beautiful sound in the world” in French. #U2ieTour #U2
My set predictions tonight: OOC and One return; R&H songs for mid-2nd set, and Bad or AIWIY before WOWY. #U2ieTour #U2
@rw90745 @thescreendoor Agreed with both of you. I think MW and EBTTRT should rotate. They fill same role. Would free up a slot.
Welcome to coverage of Montreal 2. Ax here. Two Mixlrs live already: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… and http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
