@U2Fametal No, not doing Paris.
I’ve got two of these AB #7 shirts back then and will wear one tomorrow. Finally Ax will have both eyes on U2 show coverage again ;-) Matt
I’m very happy for Ax and his @AllBlacks Here’s a photo of Bono in a All Blacks shirt taken in Auckland 06. https://t.co/8D81yNnFw8
That time U2 pulled a piano player on stage for an acoustic Stay https://www.youtube.com/… #U2
@sethckal Yes, pocket cameras will be fine.

Clearly Ax will not be sleeping tonight
I cannot stop buzzing after the #RWCFinal. A perfect result; total joy. Thanks, everybody at the @AllBlacks. Thanks for humouring me, folks.
@zaharadessert As a Kiwi in Melbourne, I don’t even know what to do with myself right now!! Run down Sydney Road waving a silver fern flag?
NEW ZEALAND ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!! I CAN HARDLY EVEN SPEAK! #RWCFinal #RWC2015 These All Blacks are the greatest sport team of all time!

@madfl3a thank you :-) Still a bit redundant filming last night. We could have planned this better to have all songs ;-)
@steve9308 For me it was a bit distant and not as loud as GA. But it’s ok since I only had 2x seats this tour :)

@coleymedazza Sometimes you feel like checking out?
.@jstraut all Matt’s videos are here: https://www.youtube.com/… and Stefan’s here: https://www.youtube.com/…
Matt & Stefan have uploaded an extraordinary 27 vids of #U2ieTour London 4, our record for most vids from a gig: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
U2 Mysterious Way and Desire from the fourth London show https://youtu.be/pSYporI… #U2ieTour
@coleymedazza @coleymedazza that’s absolutely right. You should be able to enjoy as you want.
@thom2805 Loks like you need to do a few more concerts. But it’s a bit rare now …
@coleymedazza it’s easier to film when sitting and it was a high seat (4th level) … not my favorite place to be up somewhere ;-)
Since we did so many videos today I will not post them all here. They’re on our channels and Ax will do an article later. Matt
@coleymedazza But I was sitting nearly all the time as well today. But I was row A so nobody cared.
@thom2805 I haven’t seen it quite a few years so a nice surprise for me.
@coleymedazza You did it all right :-)

Listening back to U2 London The O2 http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/… #U2ieTour
@MariangelaVcc @zaharadessert It’s already published.
diannedelahunty @u2gigs I’ve been carrying this around for 4 shows - finally!!!! https://t.co/d3Zz7pOOCN
The next show’s on the other side of Rugby World Cup grand final. If I (Ax) don’t return, I had a heart attack. GO THE MIGHTY ALL BLACKS!!!!
It’s been over a decade since #U2 last performed All I Want Is You in England. Last time was 18 June 2005: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour
There we go, confirmed: snippet of Clair by Gilbert O’Sullivan after Desire. That takes the total snippets to a massive 22! #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s the full setlist and our writeup for #U2ieTour London 4 (record number of snippets!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
maxtsukino @joeahorro, @peepy, @jamesamurray, @u2gigs, @u2place: they gave us the sound, I think they deserve our thanks… so, THANKS!!! #U2ieTour
So there’s your new snippet record: 21, smashing 18 at San Jose 2. Probably 22 - need to ID what was snippeted after Desire. #U2ieTour #U2
That was the last of Matt’s London shows… but he’ll be back for both concerts in Glasgow! #U2 #U2ieTour
Aha, that was Hold Me Close by David Essex that Bono was snippeting after One. Same song he snippeted in Iris earlier. #U2ieTour #U2
The snippet-fest continues! Bono’s singing something after One, leading crowd - can anybody ID this? #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 Ten bucks on Invisible or People Have The Power over end of One.
So there’s the snippet record - 19 now. (Equal on 18 if don’t count Shine Like Stars, but there’s an unidentified snip to ID after Desire)
Snip of Blackbird ended a lot of BDay performances on Vertigo and 360 Tours, but tonight was 1st for this tour. #U2ieTour #U2
For those keeping track, that’s 16 snippets confirmed, probably 17; and at least two more to come #U2 #U2ieTour
@CBarcaSTJ @KevinMFeeney So make the encore BDay/full EBW/WOWY/rotational closer, or something like that.
@CBarcaSTJ @KevinMFeeney I keep saying put full band EBW in encore. This is first tour ever to not have a new song in any encore.
@KevinMFeeney @CBarcaSTJ But WOWY definitely fit better after EBW than it does right now after Pride. Feels tacked on.
@KevinMFeeney @CBarcaSTJ Yep. Glad they didn’t give up on the October/EBW pairing; in reverse now they also sit together well.
That’s the first Shine Like Stars in over a month and a half - last one was on 13 Sept in Amsterdam #U2ieTour #U2
Bono ends Shine Like Stars with “one heart… or two, one heart… or two” (almost but not quite adding a Two Hearts snip!) #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney At least they never tried BDay/Bullet: “Beautiful day! Don’t let it get away! Away! AWWWAAAAYYYY! IN THE HOWLING WIND!”
@KevinMFeeney MDrug was a weird choice to revive in the first place. And let’s not forget all those One Step Closer rehearsals…
@KevinMFeeney Oh god I’d all but erased memory of that awful COBL/Bullet transition.
@KevinMFeeney I miss when the opening song of the encore was rotational… sigh. MDrug didn’t work but others would!
I just added the stats about October in October to our mainpage article: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “now sing yourself to Ireland, not so far from here, and think of the ones who had courage enough to compromise” #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave Yep, that’s my expectation too. Hopefully this is one of those nights he does not one but two in BDay.
EveryBrokenWave @u2gigs Guaranteed to at least tie. California in Streets, Mother and Child, Invisible/PeopleHave the Power
The show with the record of 18 snippets? San Jose 2, earlier this year: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
14 snippets so far tonight (and prob 15 w/ the unconfirmed Clair after Desire). Record is 18. Will it fall? #U2ieTour #U2
@AnitaHartgers So is Ax; he memorized the entire database!
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal It’s ABSOLUTELY out of the question, it’s gone, where could it be?
celticrab67 @u2gigs Snippets are what got me into U2 some years back
Also, mid-set announcement: we have a new show in our database! ISHFWILF 3 times? What?! http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
And also quite possibly the last time it will ever be played in October! -Matkin the Downer #U2 #U2ieTour
October was almost played at every JT Tour gig in October 1987. It missed 1 out of 15, this one: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2
17. October. Hence this is the first time since October 1984 this song has been performed at every #U2 gig in October! #U2ieTour
@CBarcaSTJ That’s awesome!
andrei_penkov Desire. @U2start @u2gigs https://t.co/ZVITZksZIU
@ryannichols7 Don’t get why Angel Of Harlem has got preference over AIWIY. Both are good to get guitarists up and surely AIWIY better known!
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal We were just talking about “where’s AIWIY?” yesterday! What can we jinx today for London5? 11 O’clock Tick Tock?
@CBarcaSTJ Oh really? I’ll have to check that! And how’s it going man?
I (Ax) will hold off on adding the post-Desire snippet until after the show when I can listen back to confirm if it was “Clair” or not.
I (Matkin) mentioned this earlier, but 21 songs have been played every night on this leg of the tour. Leg 1 had 18. #U2 #U2ieTour
brunnercaffi @u2gigs So they are not using meerkat, but the normal iphone camera for the screen. https://t.co/JQ5yuSybpF
@rendigryce Well, I guess you have now by Twitter! :-P
15. ALL I WANT IS YOU, EUROPEAN LEG DEBUT. Last performed 23 July 2015 in NYC. Sixth performance of tour. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono just snippeted something at the end of Desire to Claire… I think it was Gilbert O’Sullivan’s Clair, judging by Bono’s remarks.
Great, thanks everyone for confirming that yes there was the Burning Down The House snippet in MWays. Added to set. #U2ieTour #U2
14. Desire, back after missing one show. Claire’s doing Meerkat but no sign of it online! #U2ieTour #U2
Bono has a fan called Claire on stage. He asks her if she has been to County Clare in Ireland. #U2ieTour #U2
My Internet briefly dropped out - was there a Burning Down The House snippet in MWays? #U2ieTour #U2
@Irishjoeshelton @atu2 I know that it isn’t right. Just saying, that’s what I heard it as at age 12.
I suppose if Matkin were still on lead duties MWays would be “Ways of Mystery”.
I don’t dream, not as such
I don’t even think about how I rob myself of sleep to cover these shows
…doesn’t quite fit the meter
11. Invisible opens the 2nd set, and we’re tag-teaming the coverage - this is now Ax on main coverage duties. #U2ieTour #U2
If you want to go direct to Matt’s feed, here’s the link - tune in for second set now: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s the full set so far, plus Matt’s feed embedded: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
maxtsukino @u2gigs if australian shows happens, very strong coffee would be a must… =P
I (Ax) love these London gigs - they fall at a far more sensible time in Melbourne. It’s already almost 8:30am!
Hah, so for once it was me that wasn’t paying attention!
Oh, so it was Ax! I wasn’t expecting him yet, thought it was still Death O’Clock (Tick Tock) in Australia! #U2 #U2ieTour
If Matkin had paid attention either to this Twitter stream around Iris or to his emails, he’d know I (Ax) am here - I am not invisible.
andrei_penkov Song for someone. @U2start @u2gigs https://t.co/kKBjNiMvz9
@atu2 I used to hear it as Broken bodies under children’s feet, bodies strewn across the damned street. I was 12. #U2ieTour
Me too please! RT @U2RadioBrook: Someone fill me in on that end of Iris snippet? #U2ieTour @u2gigs
adammajorcsik @U2tour @u2gigs this is it at 2:10 where he mention it youtu.be/4LCvSSLUjDk
gertdewit79 @u2gigs Berlin 7-7-2005
@BeatrizFaillace Nope, just reminiscing
Matkin was wondering where I (Ax) had got to - and here I am! Very keen to see what rotates into the set for the E stage.
@DutchU2Fan Think it was Milan, but don’t recall 100%
“These shoes, well they hurt me. I see them, it scares me! This is… Wow, I have a problem here.: #U2 #U2ieTour
Anyone remember on the Vertigo Tour when Bono had to change his shoes during this song? #U2 #U2ieTour
@atu2 It’s the only Oasis song I know apart from Wonderwall
atu2 I’d like to once again thank @ChrisLeClere for coining the term “Bonotizing”: Bono sprays/spits water on the crowd in Electric Co #U2ieTour
Will Bono remember folks? MT @ryannichols7: @u2gigs I know we’re a day early but hopefully Bono realizes this and makes it happen
@ryannichols7 We can dream
I wish Ax was here again.
Matkin is here for the set, but also watching the #F1 practice in Mexico. Lots of crazy action, so may be a bit distracted? #U2 #U2ieTour
fakebono Edge just showed me a tweeter photo of some punter in a meerkat suit.
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 London The O2 #4 #live #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
atu2 This absolutely *has* to happen! #U2ieTour twitter.com/joe_ahorro/sta…
@JeffReinhart77 Two night one songs, a night two song, and a new (for this leg) song
And based on a setlist spoiler that was just retweeted, I’d say it’s a good thing I’m not a betting boy! #U2 #U2ieTour
If I were a bettin’ boy I’d say we’re in for either a night 1 e-stage repeat (since Bad @ LON3) or something paired w/ Volcano #U2ieTour #U2
Hey all, Matkin here. Matt is in London tonight for his last show in the city. Should have a good stream on mixlr #U2 #U2ieTour

Noodles105 @u2gigs my prediction for tonight : This is Where You Can Reach Me Now and Dirty Old Town sang by Larry! And we jump at 56/58 songs! :)
