@douglasmintz Corrected, thanks!
I (Ax) just added a few little tidbits to Chris’s write-up of today’s #U2ieTour show in NYC: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@thom2805 140 times across Popmart and 360: http://www.u2gigs.com/Ho…
Haha. I just wish Jimmy Fallon had instead brought #asignofhomecoming for A Sort Of Homecoming. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/mtmu…
Today’s performance of Angel Of Harlem is the first time #U2 have performed it at a full tour gig in NYC since October 2001. #U2ieTour
And with that, I’m outta here! I (Chris) havebBeen sick as a dog all day today. Nyquil is calling my name. Goodnight!
Show’s over, folks! Here’s what was played: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
All You Need Is Love snippet with Paul McCartney in the house
@KevinMFeeney I kinda get it. Crowd sings as “one.” But yeah, this is a song that needs Bono’s vocals.
@stephenreilly2 Well Elevation has been played very sparingly this tour. But Streets isn’t going anywhere, bank on it.
The crowd takes over lead vocals. T’was a nice touch at NYC 1, but I missed hearing Bono sing it with us. #U2ieTour
Exactly what I’m saying RT @bethandbono: I recognize and respect Streets’ philanthropic provenance. But I miss it as a fan anthem. #U2ieTour
23rd and presumably last is One. #U2ieTour
California snippet in Streets.
Hopefully you Europeans get treated to a different Streets. I miss those seamless transitions of tours past.
Don’t get me wrong, it was still great. But far from the show’s highlight. I’m actually really disappointed about that fact.
For as great as Streets is and was at NYC 1, the speechifying really killed the momentum leading into the song.
22nd is Mother And Child Reunion / Streets, per usual. #U2ieTour
I love Bono’s speechifying so much, but it does not belong before Streets.
Me too, me too. RT @bethandbono: Soul, soul! The goal is soul, soul! I miss it. #U2ieTour #BeautifulDay
I Remember You snippet at the end of Beautiful Day. Did I hear a Summer In The City snippet too? #U2ieTour
After the flood, all the colors came out <3
@PhilbyB Ehh. Bullet/Hands/Pride = Angry at America/longing for the goodness of America to return/goodness of America returns. Its sensible
21st is Beautiful Day to open the encore. Still as awesome as ever. #U2ieTour
Here’s the Stephen Hawking video… #U2ieTour
Pride ends the main set. Encore time in a second. Catch up on what you missed: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
@PhilbyB I get Bullet/Hands/Pride. That makes sense. COBL/Bullet doesn’t to me, as much as I try to make sense of it.
20th is The Hands That Built America / Pride, as usual. #U2ieTour
@MANemeth But on some nights, the power of that rant has been bone chilling to me at least.
19 snippet in Bullet. #U2ieTour
@KevinMFeeney I’m with you. But if he’s going to speechify before Streets of all songs, Bullet/Hands/Pride should precede it.
@MANemeth See, I LOVE Bullet this tour. Totally reinvigorated. Its the placement of Bullet that’s so strange.
@rendigryce Keep the Hands/Pride transition. Then lead that into speech/Mother-Child/Streets.
End the main set with something like: EBW-WOWY-Bad/All I Want Is You-City Of Blinding Lights-Beautiful Day. Then encore w/Bullet.
I’d love to see Bullet The Blue Sky open the encore. Then Pride. Then speech about America-AIDS/Mother and Child/Streets. Lot less awkward.
19th is the so awkwardly placed Bullet The Blue Sky #U2ieTour
@rendigryce It should start the encore
Apparently the Stephen Hawking video that normally precedes City Of Blinding Lights was not shown.
18th is City Of Blinding Lights, in the actual city of blinding lights. #U2ieTour
@rendigryce Totally agree. I really don’t like Bullet’s placement after COBL
@KevinMFeeney Totally agree. Wish that’s how the main set ended sometimes.
The Every Breaking Wave-With Or Without You transition is leagues better than Wave-Bullet The Blue Sky. Makes so much more sense.
17th is With Or Without You. #U2ieTour
@u2girl1966 He fell in his home and his wedding ring caught against a table. Nearly ripped his finger off. Had to have surgery last week
@madfl3a I’m just happy I was there to see its live resurrection!
16th is Every Breaking Wave. No October tonight, it seems. #U2ieTour
RT @atu2: Larry takes the tamborine, QuestLove takes the drums and we have full horn section #U2ieTour
What a party they must be having at The Garden tonight! #U2ieTour
The Roots are now onstage with the band to perform Angel Of Harlem, much like they did together on the Tonight Show back in May #U2ieTour
“It’s not easy to be Bono”- @jimmyfallon #U2ieTour
This. Is. Awesome. @jimmyfallon is killing it onstage with the boys! #U2ieTour
Jimmy Fallon is on lead vocals #U2ieTour
14th is Desire, which Fallon/The Roots covered the day after Bono’s bike crash canceled U2’s residency on The Tonight Show #U2ieTour
So Bono has Tonight Show host and noted U2 fan Jimmy Fallon onstage! #U2ieTOur
Both my feeds cut out during Mysterious Ways. Anyone catch any snippets? #U2ieTour
13th is Mysterious Ways #U2ieTour
@EveryBrokenWave I think it’s the perfect song to start the 2nd set with. Move Invisible somewhere else.
12th is Even Better Than The Real Thing #U2ieTour
@Lunnzies I definitely think it gets played in Europe
11th is Invisible #U2ieTour
Here’s the link: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
The Fly video kicks off intermission time. Here’s what’s been played: http://www.u2gigs.com/
10th is Until The End Of The World. Raised By Wolves had Psalm 23 #U2ieTour
RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISED BYYYYY WOLLLLLVESSSS
@KevinMFeeney Oh yeah, it was a total singalong. It was awesome
9th is Raised By Wolves, the song of the night at NYC 1. #U2ieTour
When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet. Definitely one of my favorite snips #U2ieTour
@KevinMFeeney True true, the people around me were into basically every song, as was I. Even October got a huge ovation from my spot
8th is Sunday Bloody Sunday #U2ieTour
@KevinMFeeney Raised By Wolves and Iris got tremendous responses at NYC 1, in my opinion though, for what it’s worth
@KevinMFeeney I mostly agree. That just comes with the territory though. Most people there know the Mysterious Ways lyrics better than Iris’
7th is Song For Someone #U2ieTour
@EveryBrokenWave I was on your side with that snip!
I love the “Is Edge coming out to play” line Bono sings during the Cedarwood Road bridge. The cherry on top to this going to the past thing.
For what it’s worth, Iris was one of the highlights of the night at NYC 1. Just so, so emotional. You could feel it in the air.
6th is Cedarwood Road. #U2ieTour
@Wall82Jonathan SBS/UTEOTW are there though. And classics is what the second set is for. Bullet, Pride, WOWY, Mysterious Ways…
@EveryBrokenWave It’s ticky tacky, I know. Not as ticky tacky as the LAPOE snippet in Until The End Of The World though!
Bono’s speech before Iris left a few in GA, including my missus, in tears last weekend. Very powerful stuff from Bono.
5th is Iris #U2ieTour
@Wall82Jonathan I was actually telling Ax earlier that the first set is much better than the second set. Flows much smoother.
@EveryBrokenWave The melody in which he sang it more resembled 40, I would say though.
Miracle-Electric Co/Gloria/OOC-Vertigo-I Will Follow is one high powered opening quartet. I was pouring sweat in GA after it. #U2ieTour
4th is I Will Follow. #U2ieTour
RT @jimmyfallon: Wow!!! @U2!! Showing ‘em how it’s done!! #U2ieTour #U2ieNYC
I think I may preliminary list that as a 40 snippet in Out Of Control. Ax can overrule me later if he wants. #U2ieTour
3. Vertigo #U2ieTour
Was that a 40 snippet? Bono sang “How long, how long” after all. #U2ieTour
Out Of Control returns after missing four shows. Was last played at Boston 2 #U2ieTour
2. Out Of Control #U2ieTour
I (Chris) found The Miracle to be a much more enjoyable opener than I expected it to be at NYC 1. Very fun way to start the night.
Follow along with tonight’s set right here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone) opens the show, as usual. #U2ieTour
People Have The Power is playing over the PA at The Garden. Almost showtime! #U2ieTour
We have a few mixlr streams tonight. One here: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… and another here: http://mixlr.com/u2br/ #U2ieTour
@Lunnzies Just to be on the safe side, see if you can find a venue policy on cameras. But should be fine!
Only I could manage to catch a nasty cold during a New York City heatwave. I better recover in time for NYC 5 on Sunday.
Hi all, Chris here to take you through NYC3. Bear with me though, I’m pretty under the weather today. #U2ieTour
So this is interesting. Some rumours suggest Springsteen will join #U2 on stage tonight. We’ll see… #U2ieTour https://twitter.com/Sill…
