mashable The most innovative part of U2’s tour is something the audience never sees. on.mash.to/1HYvSIH http://t.co/Eapwcfup2Y
@Sofa_Critic They’re many other tours as well and this way they’re visible. IMO it works good how it is.
@Wake486 I think this must the last one http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…

#U2 trivia time: Beautiful Day has most songs snippeted in it, with 82 listed in our database. Vertigo is 2nd with 69. Bad is 3rd with 63.
@AceofSpadesHQ No I’m pretty sure the only fan who’s been allowed to keep the guitar they played this tour was that young guy at Boston 2.
Here’s our write-up and full setlist for NYC 4: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
That’s it for NYC 4. Thanks to @mysteriousdays for another good Mixlr feed! #U2ieTour #U2
Crowd are chanting I Still Haven’t Found. Bono’s gone into a People Have The Power snippet. #U2ieTour #U2
@scobarn13 Well to be honest I’ve always found WOWY/Bullet a bit awkward on the album!
@jessie4324 Actually the “2 different shows” thing was included in the original tour announcement material before any ticket sales.
24. I Still Haven’t Found, back after missing one show. Presumably last song of the night. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is thanking “the smartest crew that was ever put together” for making the #U2ieTour happen. #U2
@jessie4324 I do think it’s bad that they ran that promo material about “2 different shows” in Dec ’14 and then backed away from the idea.
I (Ax) am a big Porcupine Tree fan, so I’m surprised I haven’t written “Mother And Child Divided” instead of “Mother And Child Reunion” yet.
@jessie4324 PS you may want to calm down.
@jessie4324 Which has equated to 35 songs across four shows. I have the stats right in front of me, mate.
That was a long Good Times, Bad Times snippet. Bono sung the whole first verse and chorus. #U2ieTour #U2
@AnonYTerSongs Yep. Apparently even attended the soundcheck.
That was a long Good Times, Bad Times snippet. Bono sung the whole first verse and encore. #U2ieTour #U2
@jessie4324 They’ve already done 35 different songs across the first four shows. Maybe you should pay closer attention to our tweets.
@annehaines I don’t expect the Hands/Pride thing to make it to Europe - seems so US-specific. I’d love RTSS to come back.
That’s the end of the main set. View the full setlist so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Bono in Pride: “sing yourself to some place in the world where there’s a conflict that looks unending & sing for the peacemakers!” #U2ieTour
@annehaines But yeah not sure where else to fit Bullet. Would fit sonically but not thematically w/ Cedarwood, Wolves, UTEOTW.
@annehaines EBW/Bullet had potential to work a la Bad (with AIWIY snip)/Bullet on ZooTV. I never really warmed to it though.
Oops, Bono said America is an idea “stillborn”, then corrects himself to “still being born”. #U2ieTour #U2
@LarlarGamingYT Oh thanks, I knew I’d forgotten to do something!
@EveryBrokenWave Whenever possible I do actually note down the setlists of other bands I see… #setlistgeek
@annehaines We’ve received so many tweets about how bad that transition is. Even more than when they were doing EBW/Bullet!
@EveryBrokenWave I’ve also had to go see other bands live in Melbourne, for the purposes of their setlist accuracy of course. ;)
@EveryBrokenWave I’ve barely had a chance to breathe the past couple of days!
RT @bonojour: Bono’s acting like Oprah lately.. “YOU get a guitar.. and YOU get a guitar!!” Can he keep this up for Amsterdam too?
@EveryBrokenWave Haven’t had a chance to hear it!
Not going straight into next song - Bono’s spotted a sign of somebody who can play guitar. Hope it’s #asignofhomecoming! #U2ieTour #U2
@MarkCDarwin Quite a few! RTSS, One Step Closer, Playboy M, NLOTH, Magnificent, MOS, Tryin’ To Throw… that’s just off the top of my head.
Bono tells a joke: “will I be able to play after this surgery? Doctor says - were you able to play before?”
Bono: “you shouldn’t over-rehearse!” Yeah, that’s what Drowning Man said in 2009… sigh. #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave Oh man, yes I recall that… I think that was after the hung Australian election?
@MarkCDarwin God I hope so.
Before Sweetest Thing, Bono spoke briefly about when #U2 played The Ritz. Played there 7x on Boy & October tours: http://www.u2gigs.com/Th…
15. Yep, soundcheck was a big spoiler: here’s Sweetest Thing, back after missing ten shows. #U2ieTour #U2
For the statistically minded: Lucifer’s Hands had missed eleven shows before this appearance. #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave Not very well! Plus I was just a PhD student then, I could sleep any hours I wanted. I don’t have same flexibility now.
Bono makes a remark that for the people of Colombia “we are at your service”. Says hello over Meerkat. #U2ieTour #U2
Ha she must have asked if #U2 will ever go to Colombia! Bono talks about how they’ve never been there. #U2ieTour
@EveryBrokenWave I think we’d all be very happy to have you back! I know I would be. Covering European leg may kill me..
@EveryBrokenWave Haha. Deadlines are very good for getting me to do things.
@Tvbona @MarkCDarwin Partly I just prefer listing it as LAPOE. ;)
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in again tonight live from NYC… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1HWgBYQ
@Tvbona I’m surprised they actually only did that once.
@rdej68 I’m not sure what you mean? I thought you meant openers on the whole UF Tour. 11OTT opened at most North America & Europe shows.
@u2w Cool, cheers for clarifying!
@CBarcaSTJ Haha yeah, that’s why I ducked out around SFS. I knew nothing was likely to change there.
@rdej68 Wire opened one show, MLK opened one show. Most (but not all) other UF Tour shows were opened by 11 O’clock Tick Tock.
So after four shows of The Fly being the intermission music, #U2 return to The Wanderer, used for intermission at most prev #U2ieTour shows.
Intermission time - and the Wanderer video is back! Catch up on the full set so far: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
There’s the “well guess it’s a Love &Peace Or Else snippet…” moment. I’m not 100% sure he’s consciously snippeting anything! #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. There was the usual Psalm 23 snippet at the end of Raised By Wolves. #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 Haha yeah I was wondering if I’d jinx it like when @atu2 ducked out for The Fly’s intermission debut.
I’m back! 7th was Song For Someone and now 8th is Sunday Bloody Sunday with a When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet. #U2ieTour #U2
Sorry I (Ax) must duck out for a few min - will try not to miss more than 1-2 songs. Paging other U2gig-ers to jump in if they’re around…
@CBarcaSTJ Damn that sucks! Get well soon man. Do you feel up to covering a couple of songs just now? I uh need a bathroom break…
Well there we go, Bono got some trivia correct! #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/u2w/…
Bono’s talking about how #U2 have moved into Madison Square Garden. “Looking up, realising it’s round…” #U2ieTour #U2
Of course I Will Follow not #U2’s 1st EVER single (U2:3, or if you call it an EP then Another Day), but not sure which was 1st w/ US release
@BrianovichIV @u2w Well, what I’m not 100% sure of is whether U2:3, A Day Without Me, 11OTT, etc., had worldwide distribution.
@SudburyShawn @atu2 I’d be keen if it meant more early stuff in rotation like 11OTT. And Electric Co and Gloria same night? Yes please!
@LOVEnver_fails @atu2 He modifies it every night to “no future in Ireland’s dreaming” (rather than England’s).
Bono introduces I Will Follow as U2’s first US single. There’s a bit of trivia I’m not sure on! @u2w, you guys should know this!
@Drea104 Not quite! Acrobat was done at private rehearsals in Hershey, but not at the public rehearsal on 1992-08-07.
Well done to those of you who got it right. Some good guesses! Yes, Elevation Tour came v close: BDay opened 1 show, Elev got the rest. #U2
Trivia answer: ZooTV (Zoo Station) and Popmart (Mofo). ZooTV fails on technicality because SBS opened the Hershey, PA public rehearsal. #U2
@CBarcaSTJ I was just suggesting you may have a conflict of interest. ;) Hope you don’t feel too wretched today!
@CBarcaSTJ Are you really allowed to enter this trivia competition? ;)
Here’s our mainpage article that will have tonight’s full set as it happens: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Only two #U2 tours have ever had the same song open every show (and one of those tours fails on a technicality). Can you name the tours?
One more Mixlr to add to the 3 posted earlier: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
1. First song of the night, as with every night of the #U2ieTour so far, is The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone). #U2
Here we go folks, People Have The Power is (finally) playing! #U2 will be on in a couple of minutes. #U2ieTour
Preshow music went silent briefly there… but it’s back. #U2 are a bit late on stage tonight. #U2ieTour
Bunch of Mixlr audio feeds for #U2 NYC 4: http://mixlr.com/zoostat… & http://mixlr.com/allison… & http://mixlr.com/fockinp… #U2ieTour
Last night I (Ax) saw 2 epic gigs in Melbourne: Purity Ring & Wolf Alice. Wow. If you’re not on the Wolf Alice hype train, fucking hop on.
@TheGoalIsSoul Ha probably in three or four different songs if the Leonard Cohen “Anthem” snippet madness in Montreal is any indication!
Apparently Jimmy Page is in attendance tonight, and Dallas played some Led Zep riffs while checking Edge’s guitars. #U2ieTour #U2
@babetteross Not sure what you mean? I was only referring to performances of Angel Of Harlem in NYC.
Hello all, Ax here for #U2 NYC 4. @mattstaniz reports that Electric Co, Sweetest Thing, and Lucifer’s Hands soundchecked today. #U2ieTour
