U2 & Patti Smith People Have The Power from the third Paris show youtube.com/watch?v=e469wZ… Video by Stefan #U2ieTour
I have the feeling @CBCNews was following along with us tonight youtube.com/watch?v=5Sopim… Though they were wrong about the new song! #U2ieTour
Thanks everyone for following along today. See you again tomorrow for Paris 4. This is Ax signing off.
Here’s the full setlist and our write-up for #U2ieTour Paris 3: u2gigs.com/article1124.ht… #U2
markpeterboro U2 setlist stats Paris3 75 gigs #U2ieTour #setlistgeek @u2gigs
Does not include People Have The Power (no covers) https://t.co/k62PQqXe0b
As Basil Fawlty would surely say… “DON’T MENTION THE FLY!” #U2ieTour RT @markpeterboro: @u2gigs Uh-oh #Flygate
@markpeterboro That’s something I have to add to several stats …. Stefan told me already :)
Well I’m only going off Wikipedia. Matkin. RT @carynrose: This is hilarious. I’m being pattisplained twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
Wow. What a show. Thanks so much to @U2BROTHR for a stream of a special night that stabilised by the 2nd set. #U2ieTour #U2
@MekVox Nope.
What an encore. This is tied with Cologne 2 (and if you count Bono singing along w/ The Fly, Glasgow 2) as #U2’s longest set ever. #U2ieTour
This is the 2nd time #U2 have played People Have The Power live, after 29 October ’15 in London. Both times w/ Patti Smith. #U2ieTour #U2
Patti only really kept the chorus from Van’s original. RT @carynrose: @u2gigs technically it’s Patti’s version of Van’s.
@Hannover96Euro I’m not going to question this :)
At 26 songs right now with Bad. Record is 27. RT @U2start: @u2gigs Are we now tied for longest ever setlist?
@u2start 27 is the record so need one more song to get there.
Stefan will have lame arms by now filming a few songs in a row.
Patti Smith now on stage and singing snippet of her song Gloria with Bono as the band plays Bad. #U2ieTour #U2
mattmcgee Moments ago in Paris, U2 bathes the arena in the French flag colors & scrolls names of the attack victims. #U2ieTour twitter.com/cottrano/statu…
Bono’s singing Gloria G-L-O-R-I-A, and judging by the spoiler he means the Patti Smith one… yes he introduces her now! #U2ieTour #U2
Patti Smith’s Gloria I think, eh Ax? #U2ieTour
I (Matkin) was going to make some joke about Ax having a Bad orgasm. Then realized it might be read very wrongly! #U2ieTour
“Vive le France! Wide awake!” #U2ieTour
Last time #U2 played Bad 4 shows in a row? 3rd leg Elevation ’01, when it was done at 6 shows: 25, 27, 28, 30 Nov and 1 & 2 Dec. #U2ieTour
Vodkaninja ,@u2gigs Atmosphere in that arena must be off the charts.
26. Here it is, here’s one of #U2’s most special live songs, amazingly at its fourth #U2ieTour show in a row, BAD!

Oh dear, sounds like somebody on the floor may have fainted? #U2ieTour
Spoiler set had Bad before One. Damnit. I even had the stat ready for when Bad was last done 4 shows in a row! (Nov/Dec ’01) #U2ieTour #U2
“Look at you! Look at you!” Bono yells over end of BDay before singing “come here to surrender” verse as outro. #U2ieTour #U2
U2start Beautiful tribute to those who are not with us anymore. #U2ieTour https://t.co/jO8Lt61Kfr
23. City Of Blinding Lights - which, if the spoiler set is correct, is just the start of what will be a special encore. #U2ieTour #U2
Crowd is chanting the “oh oh oh” of The Miracle in the encore break - and now here’s Stephen Hawking video to intro encore. #U2ieTour #U2
Hi, this is Matt popping in late.
@greety That one’s been pretty stable for me the last few songs.
I (Ax) don’t know about you, but I’m really hoping for Shine Like Stars tonight. Of course I am. #U2ieTour #U2
This is why I should leave the stats to Ax… #U2ieTour RT @AntonioMbass: @u2gigs @atu2 Wasn’t there already one that was 27?
@davidcorway The greatest number of songs they have performed in one concert, as opposed to say the longest concert in terms of time.
Bono: “Sing for the peacemakers in Syria; sing for the peacemakers in our own neighbourhoods.” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono gives v. passionate speech after Streets about standing with the victims of terror and their families. #U2ieTour #U2
If it stays that way, it will be U2’s longest concert by number of songs RT @atu2: SPOILER #U2ieTour twitter.com/benoit_tessier…
“I know what I want, a place called home, somewhere safe where they believe in liberté, égalité, fraternité, like right here!” #U2ieTour #U2
I (Matkin) do not look forward to the number of shows we have to listen to for Divine Image and Zooropa snippets #U2ieTour
@atu2 He’s done it a couple times recently. It was done at Dublin on the 24 and 28. #U2ieTour Matkin
Sorry Ax, no snippet. Bono talking about the refugees. “People running from their homes, people running for their lives” #U2ieTour #U2
@mikeday63 Instead of dropping a beautiful old rarity, ditch a tired warhorse for AIWIY.
Full credit to Matkin - that October-in-December stat was his Super Secret Message to me earlier.
17. October. When was it last played in December? 28 years ago! Tampa, 1987-12-05: u2gigs.com/show994.html #U2ieTour #U2
As some of you have pointed out, Ordinary Love played in part because yesterday was 2 year anniversary since Mandela’s death, 2013-12-05.
16. Every Breaking Wave. “Special feeling in this room … very extraordinary moment, so privileged to be with you tonight.” #U2ieTour #U2
15. Ordinary Love! 2nd performance of Euro leg, last played at opening night 3 months ago in Turin, 4 September! #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now live from Paris #U2ForParis #meerkat mrk.tv/1SHs4C6
Not to jinx things, but streaming has stabilised a fair bit: mixlr.com/u2brothr/ #U2ieTour #U2
“Break on through to the other side, Larry … The Edge … Adam … break on through! Break on through!” #U2ieTour #U2
@kevinmfeeney Hahaha. It’s not as if the album needed saving commercially anyway, and critically the release method needed tweaking.
@kevinmfeeney I remember everyone clamouring for MOS to be a single. I hate to think what a radio edit would’ve done to it.
@kevinmfeeney Hahaha yeah I love how plans for a 4th NLOTH single just… vanished. I wonder what they even considered.
@kevinmfeeney Also I reckon IGWSHA was only a single because it has that Christmas line and it was released late in 1997.
@kevinmfeeney “If God.. didn’t work - let’s try Mofo!”
@kevinmfeeney Of course, I think OOTS should never have been played, but you know…
@kevinmfeeney Keep in mind OOTS got its longest run after being a single! WGRYWH and IGWSHA only songs to be singles after disappearing.
@cbarcaqc I need to get around to watching that…
“The worst things in the world are justified by belief.” Passionate version of Raised By Wolves tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 #strongerthanfear
@kevinmfeeney Pretty much. I had been predicting it would disappear, but the single status usually helps a song stick around.
@kevinmfeeney I (Ax) figure Miracle, EBW, and SFS are definitely safe. All others, will depend on thematic relevance to make future legs.
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ForParis #meerkat mrk.tv/1m5EJnW
Wish we could have this Periscope for the whole show: periscope.tv/w/1nAKEPLYYNbxL #U2ieTour #U2
For those wondering, Matkin’s secret message totally contained U2 gig dates for the next ten years. They’re playing Greenland in 2021!
@toolz2112 Yep, helps that there’s much more GA space in Paris.
Yo Ax, check your email! Secret message that I can’t say on Twitter!
For some of the new songs, this is quite likely the penultimate time we will hear them live. #U2ieTour Matkin
He’s talking about the terror attacks, the nature of grief, and leading into Iris and the death of his mother when he was 14. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “we can’t save you, but our prayer tonight is to be useful to you this evening … we are your servants this evening” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is talking to the crowd in French after I Will Follow. Even if I understood French, feed buffering too much to quote. #U2ieTour #U2
Streaming nightmare today, but for those asking, this Mixlr is best so far, buffering like crazy but some sound: mixlr.com/u2brothr/ #U2
Patchy streams not really a problem right now. We know the next ten songs or so! Only bad for counting snippets :-P #U2ieTour Matkin
AnitaHartgers Announcement made inside the arena that there are explosions heard during the show. Goosebumps already ❤️ @atu2 @u2gigs @u2start
As of this performance, Vertigo has played more times than we know 11 O’Clock Tick Tock has (usual caveat on unknown early sets) #U2ieTour
What a difficult night for streams. Usually these nights seem to happen when I (Ax) am asleep & Matkin covers the show.
Matkin will let Ax handle the article and tweets. I’ll just provide supplementary commentary every now and then. #U2ieTour
At least when I (Matkin) am late I turn up during the first song, not the last one!
Here’s our mainpage article with the full Paris 3 setlist updated live: u2gigs.com/article1124.ht… #U2ieTour #U2
Ah, I (Ax) see Matkin has decided to grace us with his presence, fashionably late!
Out of Control is second #U2ieTour
I (Matkin) didn’t think the concert would start for another 45 minutes. Glad someone else is here to get the start! #U2ieTour
Periscope feeds are proliferating, e.g. periscope.tv/w/1MnGnqllEVXKO #U2ieTour #U2
Way-hay-hay (or should that be Woh-ho-ho-ho)? U2 back in Paris! #U2ieTour
Another Mixlr, via @peepy: mixlr.com/doris286/ #U2ieTour #U2
People Have The Power is playing. Band soon on stage! Here’s a Meerkat feed: meerkatapp.co/madfl3a/0024a3… #U2ieTour #U2
As a heads-up: there are reports that wifi signal is not great tonight so those streaming may have difficulties… #U2ieTour #U2

RT @AnitaHartgers: U2 soundchecking People Have The Power!! We will totally have Patti Smith on stage tonight
Here’s the very brief article about tonight’s surprise guest in Paris if you want to read it: u2.com/news/title/-pa… #U2ieTour #U2
Interesting: U2.com report says Eagles of Death Metal NOT tonight’s surprise guest - somebody else is. #U2ieTour #U2
