Oh, tomorrow I’ll have seats for the first time ever at a U2 concert. But with the screen I think it’s well worth it. Matt
Bye bye Berlin #U2ieTour http://t.co/TwdPspJWMU
Elevation with fan on stage #U2ieTour http://t.co/vViGrdAbWL
@nielstenhave It’s not that long. I’m home soon.

Zoo Station’s debut takes the total of songs played on #U2ieTour to 51: 47 originals and 4 covers. #U2
Band and audience did very well in my hometown! Zoo Station at first night! Three more to come. #U2ieTour
Listening back to U2 Berlin Mercedes-Benz Arena http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/… #U2ieTour
markpeterboro U2 setlist stats after Berlin 1 (47 gigs) another song makes a tour debut #U2ieTour #u2Berlin #setlistgeek @u2gigs http://t.co/4zd2nTk5m5
Thanks a lot to Dirk from Hamburg! He tethered his network so I was able to mixlr.
@markpeterboro Looks like Zoo Station is marked as being played back at the first few shows in May!
Here’s our write-up and full setlist for #U2ieTour Berlin 1: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
Thank you to Matt for a great Mixlr stream! And also thanks for Travis for handling things here.
I was thinking of listening to Achtung after the show, but U2 basically played it for me. This is Travis, signing off. Great show. #u2ietour
Actually, One caps off the Achtung lovefest in Berlin. Counting The Fly intermission and Ultraviolet snippet, that’s 7 AB songs. #U2ieTour
Mother and Child Reunion #U2ieTour
Ultraviolet snippet, to cap off the Achtung lovefest in Berlin. #U2ieTour
24. Beautiful Day #U2ieTour
“Blessings to know you, Edge.” #U2ieTour
23. Stephen Hawking/City of Blinding Lights #U2ieTour
Apparently the crowd still has Pride on the brain, at least the guys around Matt. #U2ieTour
If you’re just catching up, here’s Matt’s Mixlr stream all ready for the encore: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
@PascalGteD 2011-07-09 had 6 AB songs inc. Fly: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
22. With Or Without You #U2ieTour
Edge has sounded just fine since Zoo Station. “New song” jitters. #U2ieTour
21. Pride #U2ieTour
20. Streets #U2ieTour
It’s not full band or anything, but I’m glad Zooropa is out there anyway. Maybe some new fans will check it out. #U2ieTour
19. Zooropa #U2ieTour
18. Bullet #U2ieTour
Knowing U2, they’ll play October up to the 30th and then bring it back in November. #U2ieTour
Tune in to Matt’s Mixlr now to avoid missing one of the best parts of the set: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
17. October #U2ieTour
I’m going to editorialize a bit and suggest that Elevation into Every Breaking Wave shouldn’t be a staple transition. #U2ieTour
@ryannichols7 @Richard_Winch Hmm. That’s very possible. Not 100% sure though.
Looks like Zoo Station took up one of the rotation slots, albeit early. 16. Every Breaking Wave #U2ieTour
@Richard_Winch Almost. Early on Vertigo it was late main set, e.g. http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
LOL Elevation will start eventually. #U2ieTour
@sb_wreeldeal Encore of Cali/Troubles tonight? ;)
Half-time in the rugby just in time for the rotational slots! - Ax
15. Elevation #U2ieTour
Meerkat: http://meerkatapp.co/u2/… #U2ieTour
Oh that made my day!!!! Matt
Back to our regularly scheduled programming? 14. Mysterious Ways #U2ieTour
It’s incredible how Edge has managed to maintain his girlish falsetto. #U2ieTour
U2start Zoo Station, in its home town. #U2ieTour http://t.co/5jVvRr35z8
I (Ax) very pleased to hear this song back - and to time my wake-up this morning so well.
Edge isn’t really on fire, but his amp sounds like it is. Sick guitar tone. #U2ieTour
13. Zoo Station! #U2ieTour
12. Even Better Than the Real Thing #U2ieTour
@IgnacioAylwin I believe he was frustrated with timing issues & with Larry.
They are here: 11. Invisible #U2ieTour
Tune in to Matt’s Mixlr here ahead of the 2nd set: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
Gavin Friday’s The Fly intermission. Crosses off the possibility of Zoo Station being intermission music. #U2ieTour
Hello, Ax here, looks like Travis has you in sound hands, I have half an eye on New Zealand beating up Namibia in the Rugby World Cup…
Edge is having some issues on guitar tonight. Maybe pull a Boston 2001 Gone on us and smash the thing. #U2ieTour
10. Until the End of the World #U2ieTour
Over mixlr, the creepy wolf breathing sounds more like feline hissing. Have the members of U2 become old cat ladies on us? #U2ieTour
9. Raised By Wolves #U2ieTour
I just have to say, When Johnny Comes Marching home sounds a billion times better in SBS than it did in Bullet back on Vertigo. #U2ieTour
8. Sunday Bloody Sunday #U2ieTour
U2 had to get creative to transition those two songs together, but that gentle electronic piece works really well. #U2ieTour
7. Song For Someone #U2ieTour
6. Cedarwood Road #U2ieTour
5. Iris #U2ieTour
I’m shaming my ancestry by being able to understand very little of Bono’s very basic German. #U2ieTour
Bono: “Here’s more.” I’m glad they didn’t cut Berlin off after three songs! #U2ieTour
4. I Will Follow #U2ieTour
3. Vertigo #U2ieTour
The crowd is out of control, per Bono. #U2ieTour
2. Out of Control! #U2ieTour
First up, as always: The Miracle #U2ieTour
People Have the Power…getting ready to start…#U2ieTour
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Berlin Mercedes-Benz Arena #1 #live #…’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
A third mixlr option for tonight’s show: http://mixlr.com/caro_u2… #U2ieTour
Hey, Travis here. With Matt at the show, I’ll be running the twitter tonight. Hope something comes of these Zoo Station rumors! #U2ieTour
Bad network at the moment. Lets see if I can get the mixlr running later.

Thanks for all the great answers to my question during the day! I’ll now prepare to leave for U2 @MBArenaBerlin See you there.
SoulDrifter212 @u2gigs “I never tire of repeatedly spending time with good old friends.” #U2ieTour
honey_child @u2gigs so seeing multiple shows allowed me to reclaim my independence.
honey_child @u2gigs 1st time I went to multiple shows it was bc I had been in a bad relationship and he never allowed me to travel for ‘dumb stuff’
MBArenaBerlin Getting ready for #U2 live in Berlin! #u2ietour #mercedesbenzarena http://t.co/cUQl5Xleat
@Irishjoeshelton As far as I know it works good. But I would keep checking for tickets with TM.
U2sJerseygirl @u2gigs U2 shows take me to a special place. There music means so much to me and I’ve made great friends because of it.
@Irishjoeshelton there was a ticket drop for all shows a few days before so far. So you might be in luck to get some but I can’t promise.
@bibalukas Tickets (seats) for all Berlin shows now from 114,90€ at Eventihttp://u2.gs/u2baf
Seats from 114,90 now available for all 4 U2 Berlin shows http://u2.gs/u2b #U2ietour
zaharadessert @u2gigs it’s my church #U2ieTour
Andywildman3 @u2gigs because this band is my life. Go and see them and you’ll understand. #U2
fabianomad @u2gigs Is like sex, you have sex many times with the same person, always different. U2 shows is always different with the same songs…
heyplatzman @u2gigs I got tired of trying to answer this so now I just say ‘yes yes, you’re right, it is, but I’m so stupid, you see’
Naomi_U2Sydney @u2gigs because it is never the same!
Noodles105 @u2gigs cos the best thing in my life is to be with my 4 best friends. That’s it ;)
wolfgang_willms @u2gigs After all these years mostly I Do not answer at all. If the person is very nice I compare it with a bottle of wine…
RT @miffy66: @markpeterboro @u2gigs - trouble is our teams don’t win every week
U2_ultraviolet @u2gigs “don’t you spend as much time with YOUR family as you possibly can, as well..?”
RT @miffy66: @u2gigs - people thought I was nuts doing 3x 360 gigs in 8 days - my reply …
You’ve never seen U2 have you !!
Thanks for all answers so far. I have some work to do now. I’ll be back later with you for the first Berlin show!
stevegoodair @u2gigs because it’s a show, you can see it from a different perspective. Close up with no screen or further back enjoying the full effects
markpeterboro @u2gigs
I get to see new places, enjoy having some beers, hang out with friends and have a great time. Plus there’s a band I Like!
markpeterboro @u2gigs
-you go to see your favourite team play every week
-that’s different
-yes it is, for me it’s like seeing the team win every time
@harrykantas my boss is ok with all this. Even the extra Stockholm day was just a short call. But I only take few days as possible.
CraigFairlie @u2gigs ‘The setlist is different and I love U2’
magnolia61 @u2gigs Last weekend I told someone : if you buy an album, are you going to listen to it only once? #u2ietour
nahuise @u2gigs It’s an addiction. I want to see them as many times as my budget allows. Thats not very often but i cannot get enough
AndySpurs72 @u2gigs You can never have enough of quality.
u2girl1966 @u2gigs because I can
I think it has lot to do with passion. People with a real passion for something like sport, collecting etc. usually understand better.
winst0nw0lf @u2gigs There’s really no reason to interact with those kind of people ever.
harrykantas @u2gigs and it’s a final, every single night!
GnoccoFritto @u2gigs Simple for me: U2 won’t be around forever so I want to see every possible show within my time and budget.
p0pmark @harrykantas @u2gigs “How many times have you listened to your favourite album?”
Sorak13 @u2gigs never the same. Always different
Even with the same songs!!!! Live music!! Live U2!!
@harrykantas but they’re playing with each other and not against
@harrykantas I like this one. U2 is my team and the audience the other then :-)
focus100979 @u2gigs it’s almost the same, but “almost” makes a difference. After one show I don’t remember too much ;)
harrykantas @u2gigs depends who asks. For sports fans: “Why do u go see your fav team play so many matches? Isn’t always the same? No? So you do get it”
If you go to more than a single show people often ask “Why are you doing this? Is it not always the same?”. How do you answer? #U2ieTour
Commute to work. Back here later for U2 #U2ieTour http://t.co/WXbFHnTi4y
