U2 ‘What do you want? A Europe with its heart and borders closed to mercy?

@EveryBrokenWave Now I hope that’s all, because I’m going to lie down!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to EveryBrokenWave

@EveryBrokenWave Fixed both! And noted that this is in fact the first performance of Zooropa in continental Europe.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to EveryBrokenWave

Though before I go, I’ve added soundchecks from previous days to the database listing of Turin 1: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@rendigryce Fixed now! You can tell the 4am start is getting to me…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to rendigryce

OK, it’s 7am here and I (Ax) am exhausted. Good morning/afternoon/night folks, see you tomorrow for Turin 2.

 via Twitter Web Client

@EveryBrokenWave Good catch. The tiredness is getting to me now.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to EveryBrokenWave

@kevinjpmurray @Zoomo72 Ugh, thanks for catching that! Reposted with correct one.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to kevinjpmurray

I’ve added more to our write-up on opening night of the #U2ieTour second leg in Turin: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@RSciaudone @TheRealDrogba11 In fact, the last performance of Shadows & Tall Trees was 27 July 1980: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to RSciaudone

@rossgperry @mattmcgee @u2w @atu2 And thanks to featuring “what do you want?” it actually had more of the song than the ’93 versions.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to rossgperry

That’s the end of the show. Wow, Zooropa —> Streets was incredible. Full set: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

OK lads, do 40. I think this epic crowd deserves 40. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Snippet of Invisible at end of One. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@EveryBrokenWave Yeah it was a bit weird how they abruptly changed into One.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to EveryBrokenWave

Bono has barely opened his mouth during One. Crowd singalong is huge. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Without the synths drawing Mother And Child Reunion into Streets, it may be necessary to count it as a separate song too… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

25. Mother and Child Reunion snippet leads into… One #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono: “I don’t know the answer to the refugee crisis … but I know that we must work together to find an answer” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono: “There is a lot of heartache in the world, but there is a lot of joy in here this evening.” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono’s talking to the crowd, attempts a bit more Italian. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Snippet of I Remember You at end of Beautiful Day #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@rossgperry @mattmcgee @u2w @atu2 I agree same vein, but much longer and more substantial vein warrants full song status.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to rossgperry

@mattmcgee @u2w @atu2 I can’t think of another instance where the band has actually played a listed song and it’s only been counted as snip.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to mattmcgee

mrmarkreed #refugeeswelcome #u2ietour Zooropa. Where we should all live as one. http://t.co/YGf1RIXxi3

 via Hootsuite (retweeted on 10:29 PM, Sep 4th, 2015  via Tweetbot for Mac)

@atu2 Also, Hands was really only one lyric from the actual song, while that was heaps of Zooropa’s lyrics

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

23. Encore begins with City Of Blinding Lights #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2 Unlike Hands, Zooropa counts. Longer than 1993 versions.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

Encore time - Stephen Hawking video playing #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Encore break time. Crowd are still singing WOWY. Check out full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

@ryannichols7 I totally thought I’d found a “shoegaze and chill” at A Place To Bury Strangers gig last night… but she had a boyfriend.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

@nahuise @SilRigote Oh, I’ll be there as well then :-) (Matt)

 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to nahuise

Bono gave just a short speech in Pride on the theme of “blessed are the peacemakers”. Crowd singalong is massive. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@SilRigote I can second this. Always great shows in Italy. Too bad I can’t be there this time.(Matt).

 via Tweetbot for Mac in reply to SilRigote

@atu2 You’re a song ahead on your count! I know Zooropa is great, but not sure it counts twice. ;)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

SilRigote I’m speechless. One of the BEST shows of the entire tour! Italy and U2 what a combination! Italians you rock! #U2ieTour #U2Torino

 via Twitter for iPhone (retweeted on 10:12 PM, Sep 4th, 2015  via Tweetbot for Mac)

Bono changes line of Pride to “one boy washed up on an empty beach” re: that heartwrenching pic of Syrian boy. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@sb_wreeldeal Oh I’m not sure that’s dead yet… unlike the dog. (Too bleak?)

Streets still has the California (There Is No End To Love) snippet. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Hearing that Zooropa —> Streets segue made getting up at 4am worth it. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Hearing Zooropa live brings back great memories about seeing the live premiere during the 360 tour in Sao Paulo. (Matt)

 via Tweetbot for Mac

I’m inclined to count Zooropa as separate song. That was as full, if not moreso, than the 1993 performances. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@Varun_Jay This arena in Turin is actually smaller than most of the North American venues

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Varun_Jay

Wow I got chills with that Zooropa/Streets transition, really powerful theme of the Europe refugee crisis. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

“Dream out loud! Dream out loud! What do you want?” WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME what a great great GREAT segue #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Edge playing notes of Zooropa, synths in background as Bono sings. Crowd chants with him “let’s go to the overground” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono “I’m not dangerous - I’m in danger”, then starts singing “and I have no compass” lyrics from Zooropa. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

OK here comes Zooropa! Let’s see how this “outro” goes, if it’s a snippet or worth listing as a full song. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono’s still using the loudspeaker during parts of the Bullet rant. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

If you’re just tuning in, this Mixlr feed is great: http://mixlr.com/doris28… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@CBarcaSTJ Ending of EBW felt a tad more subdued to me.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to CBarcaSTJ

Bono seems to have revised the Bullet rant a bit, but the core theme remains. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono hums the Ode To Joy melody during Bullet. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

18. Bullet The Blue Sky #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

This is the first time the song October has been played anywhere in Europe since 8 August 1987. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

That sounded like a roar of recognition as people realise it’s October. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

17. October! Just the 3rd performance this tour - which means 3rd performance since November 1989! #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@jdiamjr Yes it was until until EBW rather than October was done as 16th song.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to jdiamjr

Every Breaking Wave is still the stripped-down piano version. Italian crowd singing along loudly. #U2ieTour #U2

@SephLiam The current rumours suggest the 2016 leg will again be in arenas.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to SephLiam

All songs so far played tonight were done at NYC 8, except Electric Co. and Elevation which were done at NYC 7. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@El_Rey_Louie @SephLiam Honestly I doubt it - and I’m sceptical it would sound particularly great after all these years…

Bono brought a female fan on stage in MWays. He’s now introducing the band and asking her to do Meerkat. #U2ieTour #U2
