Today, U2 played their second of two concerts in London. The soundcheck featured two songs that have traditionally been paired together in U2's setlists, Until The End Of The World and New Year's Day. At some point on all four of the last tours, the former has come to immediately precede the latter in U2's setlists; it was rare on Vertigo, but on ZooTV, Popmart, and Elevation, it was a segue played often. Tonight, the pairing made its first 360° Tour setlist appearance, showing up early in the main set.

Bad was played for the fourth time on this tour, while Stay showed up for its fifth tour performance. It looks like the movement of Desmond Tutu's speech to precede One rather than Streets has become a permanent change. Interestingly, Bono snippeted a line of A Day Without Me during the middle of The Unforgettable Fire; this is our first recorded snippet of the song, and its first recorded live appearance of any kind in our database since 18 April 1985. Although I Will Follow has been soundchecked before a couple of shows recently, this is the first appearance of any kind for a song from Boy during an actual 360° Tour concert.
