@kaniep Don’t want to argue/get too political, but today is one of the more important days in American history. I’ll leave it at that.
Early prediction time: Beautiful Day dedicated/make reference to today’s #MarriageEquality decision. The heart is truly a bloom #LoveWins
I can’t wait to hear what Bono’s got to say about this historic occasion in a few days at Chicago 3. (Chris) #LoveWins #MarriageEquality
Chris here, popping in to say I’m damn proud to be an American today. Been on the verge of tears all day. In the name of love! #LoveWins
MrsMoe42 @u2gigs Night 1 & 2 at the @UnitedCenter #u2ietour http://t.co/uIXpjgzxL9
johnnyo217 Was front row tonight, video camera guy for all the shows said the DVD will be filmed in Paris @atu2 @u2gigs
GoPackGoJJH @u2gigs @k_now_waite . Good night Chicago! So happy to hear Bad. And Angel. And Streets. And everything. #U2ieTour http://t.co/Cv3pGO3VYB

NickPeters731 @atu2 @U2start @u2gigs Chicago 2 setlist. #U2ieTour http://t.co/dYxxhDuTMM
Here’s the full setlist and show info for Chicago 2: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
That’s the end of the show, folks. Thanks to @k_now_waite for great Mixlr stream! #U2ieTour #U2
Ah, Bono comes back in for “there’s no them, there’s only us” Invisible snippet at end of One. #U2ieTour #U2
I like a good chorus/outro singalong, but barely singing a line of the whole song? I don’t go to gigs to listen to Drunk Guy Behind Me.
24. Here’s the answer: One. Bono says it’s for Paul McGuinness. It’s back after missing three shows. #U2ieTour #U2
Asked on @k_now_waite’s Mixlr stream: “One or 40, which number are we getting?” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono now thanking the crew, the “whole city” that it takes to run the #U2ieTour, namechecks Joe O’Herlihy and Willie Williams. #U2
That’s the end of the main set. View it here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@bethandbono Love love love that song and snippet (Chris)
21. With Or Without You. Also an Into the Mystic snippet in Bad before the MOSurrender snippet. #U2ieTour #U2
Bad also has a Moment Of Surrender snippet, though shorter than BDay’s. It WAS rehearsed in full before the tour. #U2ieTour #U2
All but one of Bad’s six #U2ieTour performances have been on the 2nd night in a city. In Phoenix it was done first night. #U2
20. Long snippet of Moment of Surrender leads to Bad! Sixth performance of tour, back after missing three shows. #U2ieTour #U2
GIVE ME THE FULL MOMENT OF SURRENDER! (Chris)
Beautiful Day makes everything better. (Chris)
Bono: “Nobody won in Ireland, that’s why everybody won in Ireland… bring that spirit to Baltimore… Ferguson…Charleston!” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono in Pride: “This is a time to talk about peace … to think about trouble spots around the world.” #U2ieTour #U2
Jeez, even on nights where he’s sick, that Bullet The Blue Sky rant sounds so intense. (Chris) #U2ieTour
I missed it, but plenty of people reporting Bono did Also Sprach Zarathustra (2001: A Space Odyssey theme) as Edge’s piano rose for EBW.
15. “Something special” is Volcano. Fourth performance of tour, back after missing two shows. #U2ieTour #U2
Haha yeah Chris is right, I was expecting Volcano not Angel. This means Angel maintains record of being played in every city on #U2ieTour.
Looks like a second night of perfect Ax setlist predictions ain’t happening :) (Chris)
U2 |LIVE NOW| Live from the ‘e’ stage in Chicago #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1SOWrHi
@SBJanet You can read the song both ways, like so many U2 songs, and he introduces it every night with speech about writing songs for Ali.
In case you were wondering about the sign that prompted the 1987 ref in UTEOTW. https://twitter.com/WTSH…
Chris here, popping in to see if The Crystal Ballroom makes its long awaited debut. Hopefully it does! #U2ieTour
@PascalGteD Via @WTSHNN it was actually a reference to a sign in the crowd.
Intermission time with The Wanderer. Full set so far: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2comSherry Cool, thanks!
UTEOTW had “where is the love?” line from Love & Peace. Can anyone confirm or deny that Bono’s mumble in Wolves was Psalm 23? #U2ieTour #U2
This guy claims to have the answer to the UTEOTW 1987 ref but I’m sticking with my theory! #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/WTSH…
Bono in UTEOTW: “we broke the bread, drank the wine, since 1987…” wonder what that refers to? Probably me. 1987 represent. #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. I couldn’t make out Bono’s mumbling at end of Wolves but I assume it was usual Psalm 23 snip? #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1SOT6YN
Since Bono talks about his wife before Song For Someone, I’m surprised there’s not been a Two Hearts Beat As One snippet. #U2ieTour #U2
6. Cedarwood Road. “Let’s go meet some of the finest people in the world … some friends, some enemies.” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “Truth is last night was really just a warm-up. This is Chicago, no messing around.” #U2ieTour #U2
@juliebpickard ASOH last done 16 Nov 2001 when fan pulled onstage to play it. Last planned performance (only one since ’87) was 25 Aug 2001.
@GableJim Totally agree. Bad/Troubles/WOWY would be incredible end to main set.
Still on topic of Out Of Control stats, it DID get to appear on consecutive nights in May - but at LA 2, then Roxy sideshow. #U2ieTour #U2
The last time Out Of Control was done at consecutive full tour shows? 23 and 25 November 2001 (Phoenix and Dallas). #U2ieTour #U2
Out Of Control has not been done at consecutive #U2ieTour shows. Electric Co has: San Jose 2/Phoenix 1, and LA 3/LA 4. #U2
2. Out Of Control, back after missing one show. “We’re a band from the north side of Dublin! This our first single!” #U2ieTour #U2
Time for Ax’s #U2 Set Predictions: OOC, Volcano, Crystal Ballroom, Bad, One. Yep, soundcheck as prophet. If no Ballroom then Stuck #U2ieTour
Three different Mixlr audio streams tonight: http://mixlr.com/thecrav… & http://mixlr.com/waitekd… & http://mixlr.com/harbing… #U2ieTour #U2
Here is our mainpage article that will have tonight’s full set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
People Have The Power has begun in Chicago. This is Ax, here to take you through proceedings. Will Crystal Ballroom debut? #U2ieTour #U2
@harrykantas It would fit the theme so well - but the amount of times the band haven’t done things that would’ve fit ideally…
@PJDeGenaro I agree, but given how One has been dedicated to anything & everything over the years I’m not sure that sort of thing bothers U2
@jpstarkey Fixed, thanks. :)
Soundcheck news from today, folks. Will tonight be Crystal Ballroom’s time to shine? #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/WTSH…
