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
@baz_del I’m in the seats today
That’s my view today #u2ietour https://t.co/6u0pNHzs1r
Here we are #U2ieTour https://t.co/nVcDi8A91s

@sethckal I think at 3pm
Divingrob @u2gigs My pics from a great evening at the 02 last night. The e stage is the place to be. #U2ieTour https://t.co/Ba8whiwEYO
ryannichols7 @Noodles105 @u2gigs realistically (but not really) I’ll say Magnificent/Two Hearts would be a dream pairing

The event shirt for U2 London is grey today #u2ietour https://t.co/ZBhRVAASI2
Naomi_U2Sydney Now all we need is the Ramones to get on stage with @U2 @u2gigs
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! :)
@U2start Walk On for Matkin!

It would be great if @U2 put all their Meerkat recordings on YouTube after the show. Great for fans, make it more permanent #U2 #U2ieTour
Matkin popping in to say what a neat changeup! And Amra (@U2_ultraviolet), those cat ears are amazing! #U2 #U2ieTour

@Timothij yes, I wonder what this is for. Very special perspective on all shots.
@U2_ultraviolet I heard some that you want this part as close as possible ;-)
@U2_ultraviolet glad you like it. Always a bit tricky with all the smartphones in front but it worked :-)

@DomT77 I’m so pleased Martin Phillipps still has such great music in him.
@joe_ahorro Sorry saw this too late. We were at the pub close to the entrance.
Not U2-related, but I (Ax) would like to urge you to get The Chills’ new album Silver Bullets out today. New Zealand’s best band ever.
@duuuaaaane @U2start @atu2 Would be nice to get Bad twice in two nights - only happened in Boston so far this tour.
@Rich_Bach Yeah I’m not sure what to expect now. Assume One is the likely closer. But E stage could produce surprises.
@U2_ultraviolet Have some nice video for you soon. We moved to the e-stage because I saw this coming ;)
@jad_bake No. It was 3rd-last night of the Euro leg of JT Tour (1 more B’ham gig + Cork), then there was a North American leg of 50 shows.
U2_ultraviolet I don’t always dance, but when I do, it’s with U2.. Thank you.. You make this girl incredibly happy. Sorry I broke meerkat. #U2ieTour
@Noodles105 Indeed!
@ryannichols7 Classic case of “having your heart in the right place does not mean the song will be any good”.
Here’s the full setlist & write-up for #U2ieTour London 3 (Bad! People Have The Power! New Year’s Day! Gloria!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
Listening back to U2 London The O2 http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/… #U2ieTour
That was a very cool end for the show. We have a beer here with some people. Vids take a Pint longer today. Matt
@ryannichols7 Yeah, Same Love hadn’t changed (or at least not the last time I covered a show - about a forrtnight ago!).
@JoeriHarcksen It’s been Same Love for ages, since Phoenix in May I think.
Thanks heaps to Matt for such an excellent feed - he and Stefan will have videos soon! #U2ieTour #U2
The outro music was something else different to normal: Waterloo Sunset by The Kinks. (you see what I did there?) #U2ieTour #U2
I stand corrected! Patti guested at Rock Hall gig on 2009-10-30: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Maid…
Patti ends People Have The Power (& show) by urging audience to “use your power!” Bono: “what a blessing on a Thursday night!” #U2ieTour #U2
That was nice and quick, much smoother than I anticipate buying U2 tickets will be whenever they get to Australia. So anyway…
