Here’s the full setlist and our write-up of #U2ieTour Glasgow 1: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@DutchU2Fan Matkin: I agree with Ax on all points, but wouldn’t be surprised if they go Volcano instead of Sweetest Thing
That’s it for tonight as some crowd members sing 40 and Waterloo Sunset comes in over PA. Many thanks to Matt for streaming! #U2ieTour #U2
markpeterboro U2 setlist stats after Glasgow night 1 (65 gigs) #setlistgeek #U2ieTour #U2Glasgow @u2gigs https://t.co/3ejnXB5Mco
@DutchU2Fan Ax; I’m picking Electric Co., Elevation, Sweetest Thing. 2nd should be Gloria though - Elec Co & OOC have been on recent DVDs.
I (Ax) think #U2 are two words off the perfect closer. “One” is right, it just needs “Tree Hill” added. #U2ieTour
I (Matkin) feel like One will be the song chosen to end the HBO Paris/tour DVD show. U2 really seem to like the audience part #U2 #U2ieTour
Here’s Mother & Child Reunion. Bono reflects about when Paul Simon came on stage with #U2, calls it an “unbelievable honour”. #U2ieTour
Bono describes Scotland as a country that “says a lot and does a lot” about fighting poverty and injustice. #U2ieTour #U2
BDay ends with “come here to surrender to your love” verse already used tonight in I Will Follow. #U2ieTour #U2
atu2 see the world in green and blue…bono namechecks someone important right in front of you #U2ieTour
harrykantas Larry playing despite what sounds like some serious wrist pain tonight.
Hope he knows how much we appreciate all he does.
@U2 @U2Community
allad1nsane @u2gigs Glasgow crowd is AWESOME
Here’s the full set so far, with Matt’s stream embedded for the encore: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
764th performance of Wowee. 204 of the 763 previous have had Shine Like Stars. Just over one in four for the math nerds. #U2 #U2ieTour
@ryannichols7 I think @CBarcaSTJ will disagree, but OSC would’ve definitely been better than that awful Hands snippet.
The last time #U2 played somewhere outside Glasgow or Edinburgh in Scotland? 27 Feb 83, Aberdeen: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
@Ivanobe It’s another 3
The last time #U2 played somewhere outside Glasgow in Scotland? 2 Sept 97, Edinburgh: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
@CBarcaSTJ Yeah I’m really not sure it would’ve worked after Bullet as rehearsed… but it could segue into Streets neatly.
It’s true, the last time Zooropa was played in Scotland was 22 years ago. Never thought I’d say that! #U2 #U2ieTour
Bono botches timing for first attempt at snippet of California in Streets, but gets it second time around. #U2ieTour #U2
Just thought I’d see if I could stump you with a supplementary fact, Ax!
Bono messed up and entered a line late. But the band know how to deal! They’re back in sync before the end of the verse #U2 #U2ieTour
Gee Matkin’s got his calculator out today.
@CBarcaSTJ If OSC had been played, HTDAAB would have become the 2nd album after Boy to have every song done live.
Things To Make And Do is the only instrumental #U2 have ever performed live. (Stingray Guitar always had Bono shouting something over it.)
60th performance of Zooropa, putting it beyond Things to Make and Do which has a known 59 plays to its name #U2 #U2ieTour
@CBarcaSTJ I was with you until the last three words! I’d junk anything BUT One Step Closer, COBL, and Crumbs to add Smile.
@BurksElijahjb No, that’s been its usual slot this leg.
@CBarcaSTJ Smile is an absolute all-time U2 fave of mine.
JereVenencia13 @u2gigs I was thinking what about One Tree Hill after Mother And Child Reunion. Would be a great ending imo
.@Choose2Live All 3 of OTHill’s Dublin performances were in 1989 I’m afraid! But 1 was #U2’s best live moment ever: https://www.youtube.com/…
(For those asking only 1/3 of One Tree Hill’s performances were in Australia/New Zealand). #U2 #U2ieTour
@CBarcaSTJ Summer Rain would be perfect for E stage and pissingly easy.
@MickiMaynard It was really powerful seeing it in Auckland ’06, with One Tree Hill itself visible behind the stage.
@GnoccoFritto 29 of 44 outside Australia and New Zealand.
For some reason, Matkin feels like Every Breaking Wave would work really well as a song about Doctor Who… the lyrics fit. #U2 #U2ieTour
I (Ax) am disgusted One Tree Hill has only been played 44 times. 444 wouldn’t be sufficient. #U2ieTour #U2
atu2 The meerkat gal was…
15 - The Sweetest Thing
#U2ieTour https://t.co/Ebtlji0S2V
@CBarcaSTJ *coughs and points to the preceding tweet*
15. Sweetest Thing, back after five shows. Bono intros it by saying how Ali owns the publishing rights for it. #U2ieTour #U2
Salacious Bono still going! “Hope the missus isn’t in the house … I did sleep with her last night!” #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 Small mercies!
@ryannichols7 For a while it seemed that the second slot on night one was up in the air, but it appears to have settled on SThing.
“Let’s get elevated! Levitation, celebration!” Bono yells at the start. There would be a celebration if #U2 played Levitate… #U2ieTour
“I recognise your face!” Bono asks fan on stage how many shows she’s been to. “A few!” she says. #U2ieTour #U2
@u2wanderer No, it was definitely Bono. For the first verse or so it sounded like he was doing it live.

U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now live from Glasgow #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1Ou6XVi
“Put your hands in the sky for the heartbeat of innocence!” You wouldn’t know about innocence would you Bono… #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2 A couple people at the concert, @harrykantas one, tweeted that it’s a new mix. Only have mixlr open, thought I was hearing things
@cscrim @U2RadioBrook It’s always been the Gavin Friday version but with Bono vocals. This is different Bono vocals #U2 #U2ieTour
harrykantas New-New Mix of the FLY tonight!
#U2ieTour #U2ieGlasgow @U2Community
Okay, this is definitely a different Fly intermission. Not sure if it is a new vocal take or Bono is singing live as some are suggesting #U2
DutchU2Fan Is Bono singing The Fly live? @u2gigs #U2ieTour
Is this a new vocal take in The Fly? It sounds a bit different to my ears, not as deep as usual #U2 #U2ieTour
Intermission time with The Fly. Catch up on the set - and Bono’s salacious remarks - here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. The conclusion of Wolves had the usual Psalm 23 snippet. #U2ieTour #U2
@U2RadioBrook Is he singing a line of Helter Skelter? All I hear is “johnny comes marching home hurrah GIBBERISH GIBBERISH hurrah!”
@Maideneer A+ reference, would retweet again.
MB24527224 @TheeEdge @u2gigs …Impressing her in several, different ways… :D
@davidfulton123 That’s a safe bet.
@rocksteady74 Ha, and I tick both of those boxes! Seems any impression he made on NZ didn’t last into my childhood.
What will be Bono’s next TMI confession? “She moved in mysterious ways last night”? “I took pride in the name of making love”? #U2ieTour #U2
RT @cscrim: @u2gigs better sing Sweetest Thing tomorrow night then get @tilldecember on stage
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1Ou3jL9
@HairyBushLover I have a hard time keeping a straight face reading you say that with that Twitter name
@rocksteady74 @cscrim An artist I’ve literally only ever heard for the purposes of two different snippets on this site!
Song For Someone’s 72nd performance. Ties it with Boy-Girl & Rejoice which both have 72 known performances. Emphasis on known #U2 #U2ieTour
This is Cedarwood Road’s 68th performance. It has now been played (known) as much as the lead single from October, Fire #U2 #U2ieTour
I’d never heard of that Hold Me Close song before Bono snippeted it in London but clearly UK crowds know it enough to sing along! #U2ieTour
ShaunDyer On a bus to Melville, SK with the kid and his team. I’m listening to @u2gigs streaming the show from Glasgow. I love the Internet.
#U2 performed The Saints Are Coming 13x in 2006 but this is its first snippet: http://www.u2gigs.com/Th… #U2ieTour
@DutchU2Fan None I’ve seen, but it’s safe to expect a standard night 1 set.
sb_wreeldeal @u2gigs As a diehard New Orleans Saints fan, I kind of just freaked out right now
Here is our mainpage article and live set for today’s show - with a cool stat: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
markpeterboro Joey Ramone #U2ieTour #U2Glasgow https://t.co/yDkAV3yjAh
RT @u2w: Did you know the first album “Discotheque” appeared on was not “Pop”? But rather a dance compilation in the UK? http://www.u2songs.com/d…
@u2w Slug is in my (Matkin’s) top 5. Ax maintains Beach Sequence into New Years Day would be as good as traditional October. #U2
Here in Toronto the time is 3:33. The windows are falling off the clockfaces… #U2
I had a dream that #U2 went from Sweetest Thing into COBL. Bono stayed at the piano and did the notes. Was actually pretty good! #U2ieTour
@ramon_emmanuel Try @U2Start

Scottish Eyes? ;-) MT @atu2: way hey hey - it’s Glasgow today! Sherry here to bring us through with some #U2ieTour cheer….
With the size of this arena in Glasgow, it looks like it may be the most intimate concert so far. #U2 #U2ieTour
