Excellent photo set from Auckland show by Ayaz Asif http://u2.gs/hr #u2360auckland
@Matkin22 I’ll have to ask Matt if there’s a way we can easily account for timezones…
@Matkin22 Because the site’s clock is on European time. I think in 2009, it was calling NA shows “yesterday” while I was doing the live set!
One Tree Hill in HD from Auckland: http://u2.gs/hq #u2360auckland #u2
Fun fact: Scarlet has become just the 2nd October song to be played since 1990. Gloria was done 19 times in 2005.
@Drea104 On UF, they did Brick and I Fall Down. So this is the first time an October song other than Gloria/October has been done since ’85.
@llootsteen39 Great. Thanks :)

@llootsteen39 Haven’t found anything myself so far. I’m sure something will appear soon :)
@coolian2 Thanks. Has been added to the setlist.

So, that’s all for tonight. Full Auckland 1 setlist here: http://u2.gs/nz1 Thanks primarily to @BigBlue02 for details! #u2360auckland
24th and presumably last is Moment Of Surrender. #u2360auckland
Woah, WOWY had Shine Like Stars! #u2360auckland
Crank yer Kiwi music in honour of tonight’s show. The Chills, Split Enz, The Bats, Straitjacket Fits, Nocturnal Projections, etc. - go ooon!
Perhaps U2 are just blowing out the cobwebs and focused on OTH/Scarlet, and Boy Falls/Mercy will show up tomorrow somewhere? #u2360auckland
Odds looking bad for Boy Falls From The Sky, despite how much it was rehearsed. #u2360auckland
23rd is With Or Without You. #u2360auckland
22nd song of the night and first song of the second encore is… Ultra Violet. #u2360auckland
Streets had the Amazing Grace intro snippet. #u2360auckland
Thanks to @atu2 to tipping me off that the ’81 gig with Scarlet had been dated wrong for years! October remaster liner notes contain gold.
Bit of a correction: Scarlet’s first and only previous performance was 1981-09-03, some 29 years, 2 months, and 22 days ago. #u2360auckland
21st song of the night is Streets.
@atu2 Just went to check the liner notes, and :headdesk:, wish I’d looked sooner now!
@atu2 Huh! What’s the source? I never did check the liner notes for the October remaster deluxe edition to see how they credited it there…
1st song of the encore, 20th song of the night is One. #u2360auckland
Walk On has the You’ll Never Walk Alone snip. Now over to Bishop Tutu. #u2360auckland
@atu2 Where’d you get those dates for Scarlet? Pimm says 1981-10-14…
19th is Walk On. #u2360auckland
The Ocean’s record for longest gap between performances? Shattered. 29 years, 1 month, 11 days between drinks for Scarlet. #u2360auckland
From what @BigBlue02 tweeted Jay-Z rapped on Scarlet and ruined it … #u2360auckland
18th is SCARLET! Tour debut, and only its SECOND LIVE PERFORMANCE EVER. First was 1981-10-14. #u2360auckland
Tonight is the second time Jay-Z has joined U2 for SBS. First was at the Brandenburg Gate, 2009-11-05. #u2360auckland
Via @BigBlue02, Jay-Z’s guesting in SBS.
17th is Sunday Bloody Sunday. Crazy Tonight had the Relax and Two Tribes snippets. Thanks @BigBlue02! #u2360auckland
Time for some very appropriate L&P to accompany the setlistery. Glad I can find this in Australia now!
So apart from OTH/Pride, this has been a standard European leg set so far. Wonder if Boy Falls will make it in at all? #u2360auckland
16th is Crazy Tonight. #u2360auckland
15th is Vertigo. #u2360auckland
14th is City Of Blinding Lights. #u2360auckland
13th is Miss Sarajevo, as you’d expect after IALW. U2, we heard this in 06. How about UF? That was last done down here in 89! #u2360auckland
#u2360auckland 12th is In A Little While, sod it.
#u2360auckland Eleventh is Pride, huh.
#u2360auckland Names of the 29 miners who died in the Pike River disaster are being displayed on screen during One Tree Hill.
#u2360auckland Dear U2, Melbourne wants to hear One Tree Hill too!
#u2360auckland About time U2’s best song made it into the setlist. (Actually, in studio, I rate A Sort Of Homecoming higher.)
#u2360auckland Tenth is ONE TREE HILL! Woohoo! Tour debut, last played 30 November 2006.
#u2360auckland Yep, ninth is I Still Haven’t Found.
#u2360auckland Bono’s speechifying now, so presumably I Still Haven’t Found is up next.
#u2360auckland Eighth is Until The End Of The World. Setlist is business as usual so far.
#u2360auckland Sixth is Mysterious Ways, seventh is Elevation. Thanks again @BigBlue02!
#u2360auckland Well, if getting setlist info is going to be a bit of a mission tonight, time to crack out the wine!
#u2360auckland Thanks to @BigBlue02 for the latest setlist update, as my own source seems to have fallen through a bit.
#u2360auckland Fourth is Boots and fifth is Magnificent.
#u2360auckland Here’s our mainpage article for today’s gig, where I am posting the full set: http://u2.gs/nz1
#u2360auckland I Will Follow is third in the set.
Usual opening duo: Return Of The Stingray Guitar, then Beautiful Day.
#u2360auckland Here we go, Space Oddity over the PA.
Mexican wave doing the rounds at Mt Smart now. U2 will be on soon. #u2360auckland
@Dagsy69 All previous 360 Tour support acts have had only 30 or 45 minutes. Same goes for basically every U2 headline show ever, actually.
@u2fanz Neither of us are there tonight, alas.
@jdt_76 God I wish. It’s a pain the way things work now.
Jay-Z is done in Auckland now. Is it just me, or was that quite a long support set?
For the record, I predict One Tree Hill in 1 of the 2 mid-set rotating slots after ISHF, and Scarlet into Walk On, just like they rehearsed.
I think the big question tonight is: will they play Scarlet or will it get Drowning Manned?
Support act Jay-Z on in Auckland now. (I was meant to tweet this about 20 minutes ago but apparently didn’t hit Enter. Ooops!)
Reportedly, U2’s crew soundchecked Bad today.
@mduchek They did! TTTYAATW appeared during their rehearsals in Turin prior to this year’s European leg.
