@atu2comSherry In that case he’d be very wrong - 14 before this tour. (3 at the old Garden, 11 at the new arena)

@twd3pdx Nope, not even snippets from those two (or Passengers). Every other album represented.

5:08 AM, Jul 11th, 2015 via Twitter Web Client in reply to twd3pdx

@OnTheRoadWithU2 Yes but not on the first night, which is what Chris was getting at. It had been a 2nd night thing earlier on tour.

@LarlarGamingYT Yeah I wish that extra slot between BD and WOWY were used every night. It’s a highlight every time they play something there

@litofpigs I (Ax) think it’s a very safe bet that NYC 8 will get 40.

@sb_wreeldeal @KUEFC Yes we’re counting Stand By Me, so it’s one of the equal longest shows with 3 other 26-song sets.

@KUEFC Toronto 1 is the longest with 26 songs. 25 if you don’t count Stand By Me, making it equal with this show.
