U2's Amsterdam setlist #1, 08/09

Tonight U2 performed in Amsterdam, the first of four shows in the city. The band have had a deep and sustained connection with The Netherlands dating back to their first shows in the country during October 1980 on the first leg of the Boy Tour.

The big surprise of the setlist was the inclusion of Two Hearts Beat As One, played at the request of a fan Bono met in the afternoon. It has only been played once previously this tour, on 27 July in New York. That means this is just Two Hearts' second live appearance since 27 December 1989, and third since 29 April 1985. Two Hearts has never before been performed in Amsterdam; its only two previous Dutch performances came on 30 and 31 October 1984 in Rotterdam.


Two Hearts was preceded by Elevation, which returned to the set after missing one show. Also back after missing a solitary show was One to end the night. Before Beautiful Day, Bono led the audience in singing Happy Birthday for Willie Williams, one of the masterminds behind the design of U2's tours.

Out Of Control stayed in the set after appearing at the second Turin show. This is the first time Out Of Control has been performed at consecutive full tour concerts since 23 and 25 November 2001.
