@simonpeyda Yes, we list the SBS drums in Please as a snippet on the occasions it happened.
markpeterboro U2 #setlistgeek Boston 2. Big order change tonight (see u2gigs.com for exact details) @u2gigs #U2ieTour http://t.co/otIL9NKehe
@atu2comSherry Interesting - tweets we’ve got from people who attended have been quite mixed about this so far.
@sozekizer @ConcertKid95 Yeah ISHFWILF was on tonight’s set before One but cut. Assume it’ll be done night 3.
@alexwatlington Eh, I’d say they’re just overthinking it. No other band I follow makes excuses like that.
@alexwatlington You’re saying you don’t want a surprise second encore of songs never played live before?
I just made a few small updates to our write-up of Boston 2: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2comSherry Not sure what you mean? A long speech isn’t exactly how to pump up people at the start of an encore.
@kmcworld It just felt underwhelming to start the encore with a long speech rather than, well, a song.
Though there’s also this curious printed set (posted 3 hours ago) with encore of Streets/One/Troubles: https://instagram.com/p/… #U2ieTour #U2
I Still Haven’t Found was on the printed setlist before One but not played. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Conc…
@xsy524 That post wasn’t meant to be negative.
@brew99 Not yet, will post it when I see it.
@rendigryce Agreed. I’m surprised something else didn’t begin the encore.
Also big big thanks to @u2wanderer and @KevinS2U for their great Mixlr streams tonight! #U2ieTour #U2
Here is the full setlist and show write-up for Boston 2: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
As with the last few performances of One, Bono is barely singing a line and letting the crowd do the work. #U2ieTour #U2
@markpeterboro Nope he’s been there. Tonight he was used to introduce COBL. Kind of weird hearing it in the main set.
That did NOT work. Love the order alteration, but break should’ve been after Pride. Open encore with BDay then speech/Streets. #U2ieTour #U2
23. First song of encore, after long speech, is snippet of Mother And Child Reunion leading into Streets. #U2ieTour #U2
So instead of opening the encore with a bang, we get a few minutes of a speech. That’s a bit… weird. #U2ieTour #U2
So what on earth will open the encore? Will Miracle Drug return? Will something make a debut? Where’s this going? #U2ieTour #U2
OK now that is the end of the main set. See full set here in all its altered order glory: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “this city so strong, they could not take your pride in the name of love! … no bomb can defeat you! Boston strong!” #U2ieTour #U2
Like last night, Bono is urging the crowd to sing Pride in honour of the victims and survivors of the Boston Marathon bombing. #U2ieTour #U2
OK here’s the Hands That Built America snippet … I assume it’ll lead into Pride as normal, but all bets off right now! #U2ieTour #U2
So now we know what Bono meant earlier when he said they were going to new places tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
@duuuaaaane @U2start That would work quite well.
Even Bono’s thrown off by the new set order - he’s mixing up Bullet’s lyrics, first and second verse lines muddled together. #U2ieTour #U2
In COBL/Bullet transition, Bono sings “blessings to the ones who kneel - blessings, blessings, where are ya, WHERE ARE YA!” #U2ieTour #U2
@joycesmith Yes it was done at the last two shows after fans brought signs for it.
@markpeterboro Haha Bono spits on the spreadsheet’s consistency.
No Shine Like Stars unfortunately. And wait what the Stephen Hawking speech is playing now! This normally to start encore! #U2ieTour #U2
@JereVenencia13 That’s because it was. Bono may’ve said Satellite of Love but he was singing Walk On The Wild Side.
@markpeterboro Haha this is going to muck with things!
So at the moment Bullet, Pride, and Beautiful Day are missing in action. Wonder what’s next? This is interesting. #U2ieTour #U2
More of Walk On The Wild Side snippet, with lyrics modified to refer to the band’s Irish origins and to Massachusetts. #U2ieTour #U2
@collwall23 Haha yeah I’ll give him a pass on that.
Also a Walk On The Wild Side snippet in Bono’s speech when talking about Lou Reed (though he then said Satellite of Love!). #U2ieTour #U2
Bono says Live Aid gave #U2 more purpose as a band, and gives shoutouts to his brother Norman and to Bob Geldof. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is talking about Live Aid now, 30 years ago today (he’s actually 2 days off, it was 13/07/85). #U2ieTour #U2
Will they go into Bullet after Bad (that was an epic segue on ZooTV) or will there be further changes? #U2ieTour #U2
@StanfordSteph Yep!
@markpeterboro Not any more! (At least not in the same order.)
@KUEFC Dear U2, please surprise us with an extra encore of Drowning Man, Acrobat, and Heartland. Thanks, everybody.
@k_now_waite If only!!
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in again tonight live from Boston… #U2ieTour #meerkat meerkatapp.co/u2/fdf28f1f-24…
15. Angel Of Harlem, back after missing one show, with fan (I think his name is Ryan) guesting on guitar. #U2ieTour #U2
Ooh, Bono’s pulling a woman up to play guitar… oh wait, she had the sign for her husband, he’s coming up! #U2ieTour #U2
Bono gibberish / Bono gibberish / Streets / Bono gibberish / California / Bono gibberish https://twitter.com/harb…

@markpeterboro @U2ThreeChords How about a good Discobake?
Got a report of Stranglers’ No More Heroes snippet late in UTEOTW tonight. I missed it. Anyone else hear it? #U2ieTour #U2
Never mind “every bacon wave”. Even Better is your chance to “put your hams in the sky”. #U2ieTour #U2
@harbinger384 Oh I missed that, was it in UTEOTW?
If you’re keen on a Periscope, @JeffReinhart77 is aiming to do whole show: https://www.periscope.tv… #U2ieTour #U2
11. Invisible opens the 2nd set. If you need Mixlr links: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… and http://mixlr.com/kevins2… #U2ieTour #U2
Intermission time. Full set so far: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. The usual Psalm 23 snippet was at end of Raised By Wolves. #U2ieTour #U2
@OnTheRoadWithU2 @KUEFC That’s all our database shows, but I can’t claim that soundchecks are recorded fully.
If you want Periscope links, use this search - it brings up new links as they happen: https://twitter.com/sear… #U2ieTour #U2
@sweetbcf This search brings up new Periscopes as they happen: https://twitter.com/sear…
@OnTheRoadWithU2 @KUEFC The only song I know was soundchecked in Toronto was Crystal Ballroom before night 2.
@OnTheRoadWithU2 @KUEFC I hope they give THBAO a run sometime… don’t want it to get 360-Drowning-Man’d.
Bono’s just said the line about last night being a warm-up for tonight. Now “we’ll go places we’ve never gone before tonight”. #U2ieTour #U2
@KUEFC I wonder, if NYD gets a run, could be done late in 2nd set as part of the hits section.
“All of these fine men, filling a hole since that day … your eyes make a circle. I see her when I come in here …” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono’s singing some lyrics in IWF about “coming to surrender” & Cedarwood Rd with a “yeah yeah yeah yeah” refrain. Improv or snippet? #U2
Very interesting solo/”all of this can be yours” section in Vertigo tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/WTSH…
3. Larry got it right this time: Vertigo. Bono does Do You Remember Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio? snippet at start. #U2ieTour #U2
We’re going to count that Vertigo drum intro as snippet in Out Of Control. 4th time this tour Larry has begun the wrong song! #U2ieTour #U2
Bono asks crowd: “are we family here or not? Are we going to get out of control or not?!” #U2ieTour #U2
It sounded rather like Larry played the drum intro of Vertigo there for Out Of Control… #U2ieTour #U2
@Rlabs19 He also said they wouldn’t play Ordinary Love after the Oscars, so default assumption = Bono lies. ;)
What will be second tonight, Out Of Control or Gloria? I love them both, but I really hope it’s Gloria. Amazing song. #U2ieTour #U2
In case you were wondering why Bono would sing a line of Pour Some Sugar On Me in Electric Co yesterday: https://twitter.com/Sall…
Here’s our mainpage article that will have the full set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
1. Show begins with The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone). Those Mixlr links again: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… and http://mixlr.com/kevins2… #U2ieTour #U2
Also, there was tiny Pour Some Sugar On Me snippet in Electric Co last night before I Can See For Miles. Just added it to set. #U2ieTour #U2
People Have The Power just began playing in Boston. #U2 will be on stage in a couple of minutes. #U2ieTour
@u2interference It had a down period early yesterday evening my time. Back in business now, huzzah!
@ZooStation89 It was thanks to a fan campaign in Toronto where people brought signs and met Bono beforehand to ask him to sing it.
@rafaguerrero14 Woops, muddled my replies there. Yeah, so far this is only U2’s second tour on which NYD has not been played on the 1st leg.
@u2interference Ha I was just about to make a post asking if it was just me or if it was down.
Hi folks, Ax here for 2nd night of #U2ieTour in Boston. Two Mixlrs online: http://mixlr.com/u2wande… and http://mixlr.com/kevins2… #U2
@rafaguerrero14 It was thanks to a fan campaign in Toronto where people brought signs and met Bono beforehand to ask him to sing it.
@ZooStation89 Yes, he’s done it the last two shows.
@rafaguerrero14 The fact it was soundchecked yesterday should be a good sign.
