More video from Barcelona II
Earlier we posted video of Electrical Storm's live debut. Now we have some more video from Barcelona II.
These videos include Desire, both versions of Crazy Tonight, and the intro for Streets. But first, logically enough, is the opener, Breathe:
As we reported earlier, Electrical Storm made its live debut at the Barcelona concert today. U2gigs' webmaster Macphisto was there and took video of the song. Watch below:

Barcelona II setlist, 02/07
Today, U2 played their second concert in Barcelona. Earlier in the day, the band ran through a soundcheck, most notably rehearsing Electrical Storm - a song never played live before. Also soundchecked were Magnificent, Get On Your Boots, No Line On The Horizon, Breathe, Moment Of Surrender, and Crazy Tonight in both its normal and remixed forms.
The setlist contained a number of surprising changes from the first show of the tour. Most notable is the live debut of Electrical Storm, seven years after it was first released; it had the softer William Orbit intro. It was preceded in the setlist by Desire and Party Girl, both songs that had not been heard during the rehearsals. Desire contained Michael Jackson snippetry while Party Girl is dedicated to a woman in the audience, Melissa, who was pulled on stage at one of the Melbourne shows in 2006 and lifted Bono into the air - she is brought onto the stage for this song and again she lifts up Bono.
Later in the main set, the band played the remixed version of Crazy Tonight, and then in the encore played the normal version of the song to film it as part of a video shoot. Unlike the first night, where the band played just one encore of three songs, tonight's encore was split in two - the band left the stage for a couple of minutes between With Or Without You and the normal Crazy Tonight.
Our database listing for this show, including breakdown of songs played by album, can be found here.

Statistically Speaking: The opening night's set in statistical perspective
The dust is starting to settle on the opening night of the 360° Tour, so let's have a look at some of the more interesting statistical aspects of the setlist. From some surprising omissions to the use of four new songs to open (including two non-singles), this set has plenty to keep the statistically minded occupied.
