U2Runner @u2gigs I like it when they slightly mix it up (think elevation intro for vertigo tour) but generally speaking remixes belong on albums
deiaallegrini @u2gigs I like Crazy Tonight Remix..it’s almost a PopMart time on 360 Stage. But I prefer the original Magnificent.
nielstenhave @u2gigs nothing wrong with a Lemon remix if that brings back the mirrorball lemon with it ;)
TrailerTrsh @u2gigs it is a cheap form of entertainment. simply put, I could play a cd, and call it a U2 concert…
Hey everyone, time for the question of the day! What do you think about U2 playing remixes live on tour?
@elcholo_ Mofo, also in Crazy Tonight
U2comZooMods WOW! Just wow at last night’s setlist. Wonder what #U2 have for us tonight? More Desire? Stay? or maybe something completely new? #U2360mex
Nice to see three Pop songs snippeted last night; seems U2 are realizing people want that album in the setlist?
@wes_brunnen Not really! All clips are now in the article.

@MainlyEcho This was probably the same seen at every show. It’s for the u2.com footage and such things.
Miss Sarajevo clip added to our U2 Mexico City videos article http://u2.gs/mex2videos #U2360MEX
@thefly202005 Just forgot to clear some cache. It’s fine now :)
@thefly202005 You’re right … I will look into this later.
Added Out Of Control and Zoorpa to our Mexico City video article: http://http://u2.gs/mex2… #U2360MEX
Stand By Me was not on the printed setlist. At least on the one seen before the show by terrorsittich. #U2360MEX
In light of terrorsittich’s video I’ve changed Stand By Me from snip to separate song. It’s short but clearly should be listed individually.
Here’s the final copy of our article about the Mexico City 2 setlist with info/stats: http://u2.gs/MX2 #U2360MEX
Here are the first clips from the 2nd Mexico City concert Desire, Stay, Stand By Me all by terrorsittich: http://u2.gs/mex2videos #U2360MEX
Here is our article with the set & stats, which Ax will complete on his return: http://u2.gs/MX2
Last song of the night is Moment of Surrender
With or Without You follows
Ultraviolet is back to open the second encore
Baby, baby, baby… light my way…
With the usual preceeding snippet of Amazing Grace. Or should we list it as a separate track? What say you, U2.com? #Duals
Streets
@Joao_Gondim Snippeted in Crazy, not played
u2fanz @atu2 @u2gigs seriously- who on earth does that. We are probably all nuts to follow a concert on twitter- but a fake stream is just strange!
One is next
That’s also it for me (Ax) today. Matkin will take you out solo to the end of the gig. I’ll be back later to tidy up mainpage article.
Walk On has the You’ll Never Walk Alone snip, and that’s it for the main set.
And it doesn’t help when there is a BS stream out there, eh Ax? Oh well; it happens
Now Matkin’s been conned, we can truly say he’s entered the fiery world of live setlist reporting! Hard to tell truth from crap sometimes.
To clarify, the set post-Vertigo is: Crazy / Discotheque (SNIPPET) / Please (snippet), SBS, Scarlet, Walk On.
But it would be cool if they actually played it
I repeat, Discotheque was NOT played. We’ve all been had (and boy do I have egg on my face now)
Now see, I (Ax) was about to say Matkin had jumped the gun on Disco a bit there! ;) Alas, we must live with a snippet. :(
Discount that Discotheque information please. It’s an old PopMart version, right down to the Velvet Dress end
FUCK! An audio rickroll!
Incidentally, on both occassions Pop was the last to be represented and Discotheque was the song played
And if I’m not mistaken, this makes it the second tour in succession to have every album represented
Full band Discotheque!
Both Discotheque and Please return as snippets in Crazy. Then Sunday Bloody Sunday.
Mexico is going Crazy Tonight
Vertigo follows City of Blinding Lights
Joao_Gondim @u2gigs Now they just need to show us that one last surprise: Discotheque instead of Crazy Tonight!
Now if they would just play Slug. Come on U2, you know you want to. “Don’t want to take your drugs, don’t want to be a slug” #wishfulthinkin
Though one more thing I (Ax) would like to point out is that Zooropa has now been played more times in 2011 than in 1993. Whaddaya know!
OK, I (Ax) should stop trying to tweet at the same time as Matkin. But I’d like to say, this 80s U2 fundamentalist wants more 80s U2 songs!
Oops. Sorry Ax ;-)
Aaaand there’s Zooropa! Historic gig. Since 5 Zooropa songs were done at 1993-12-10, no other gig had managed more than 1 from the album.
And the Axver Bet pays off - here’s Miss Sarajevo.
Miss Sarajevo and then Zooropa. 2:1 odds that City of Awesomeness is next
Matkin’s stolen my thunder there. I’d unearthed that stat ages ago but was waiting for Zooropa to actually be played to unleash it. ;)
Last time two Zooropa songs were played was last date of ZooTV, 10 December ’93 in Tokyo: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
@u2fanz Way back in ZooTV I think. *Checks*
@u2fanz The last show to have 2+ Zooropa songs (5, to be precise) was 1993-12-10, Tokyo
The Axver Bet is on Miss S next.
So what follows? Will it be Miss Sarajevo? Stuck? Bad? AIWIY? LRM? Unknown Caller? In a Little ZZZZ…..
@Joao_Gondim You’re quite right - the last show to have 2+ Zooropa songs (5, to be precise) was 1993-12-10, Tokyo.
Seems that Beautiful Day is next. Thanks @AldaVerduzko
@china_chas I stand corrected!
Woah, Stay! Awesome. This is its 11th 360 performance; the last was on 2009-09-24 in East Rutherford. #U2360MEX
AllU2 @u2gigs how funny that the first thing I thought of when they played it was…waiting for you to tell us that! lol
But first, a word from these messages!
Back over to Ax for the scoop on Stay.
This concert has suddenly become interesting…
Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
Here I am! Desire has only been played 8 times previously this tour, seven in July 2009 and once in Aus, 2010-12-19 Perth.
Big question: is it full band electric or the lame acoustic version they’ve done everytime since PopMart?
Over to Ax for the trivia portion of this tweetcast
Stand By Me snip at end of ISHFWILF. #U2360MEX
And Desire is next?
Stand By Me according to @libre98mx; not sure if snippet or full band
Who wants to guess what is next?
Or should this really be Band Intros / Still Haven’t Found (snippet)?
atu2 Someone took his sombrero? RT @The_Impulse: Bono is crying as the crowd sings ISHFWILF !!! #U2360mex
I Still Haven’t Found the other classics rotting in the cellar
@atu2 Ax and I two-hundredth that sentiment :P
You… you said you’d wait until the end of the world
popartist61 @wxander @u2gigs Saw another tweet that says remix for Magnificent. :P
Elevation is sixth
Johnny take a walk with your sister in the rain…
I personally think that Get on Your Wellies sounds much better than Boots; but what do I know?
Although I never had a pair that didn’t leak.
For those confused about Wellies: http://en.wikipedia.org/…
Set so far: EBTTRT-OoC-Wellies-Magnificent
Magnificent is fourth; remix or regular?
Oh, and Magnificent is fourth after Boots. #U2360MEX
Ax chipping in here to say that here’s our article where we’ll be posting the full Mexico City set live: http://u2.gs/MX2 #U2360MEX
Seems that Get on Your Boots is third as usual..? Lots of people still tweeting the earlier songs, hard to be sure how accurate real-time
Okay, Out of Control confirmed.
Okay, looks like there’s now a bit of order in the chaos. EBTTRT definitely seems to be played. Unsure about OoC yet.
Conflicting reports of EBTTRT and OoC as opener. Oh my. Which is right?
Show’s apparently started, but do we have a setlist yet? Of course we don’t. Data network chaos by the looks of things.
israel_1983 @u2gigs It is rumored that the president of Mexico at the concert
Okay, enough of my boring lovelife. It’s concert time!
But she will be going to see them in Toronto with me, thanks to @EdgeFest!
And for those offering their Spanish skills, that was an inside-joke; as many by now know, I’m dating a Mexican (who’s not there tonight)
For those asking we have not yet heard of a live stream. Unless Ax is holding out on me.
@shellbelle42q No, they’ve never done Everlasting Love.
Wait, who’s tweeting the set tonight? Is it Ax or me? #lastminuteconfusion
Not looking good for a live feed, especially with the way mobile networks are reportedly overloaded and crashing at the venue.
Now if only I knew someone who was fluent in Spanish so I didn’t need to Google Translate all these tweets… :P
Getting word that the stadium is erupting as we near the end of the recorded intro; thanks @The_Impulse and @catygomes
Not long till showtime, folks. You know the drill by now! What ____ ____ ___ in ___ ______?
RT @atu2comSherry There’s a rumor floating around in Twitterland that we might have Stay tonight…. oh goodness if that’s true?!?!
Random trivia: U2 recorded Night & Day in 1990. First (and only) time any member played it live was 2003 http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
@shellbelle42q Nope
… and Boy Falls has as many performances as Wave of Sorrow. Only North Star seems to stick around, and even that is infrequent now
Though I do find it strange that the new songs have all but dropped off the radar. Mercy & Glasto are gone, EBW went the way of ES…
Oh, Matkin realizes it. He just thinks that Ax is dreaming as usual ;-) AIWIY or a Stuck reprise are surely more likely than Bad!
What Matkin doesn’t realise is that I’m picking Unknown C tonight in the hope of Bad in that spot for the third night. ;)
Good choices, Ax! I agree with OoC and UV, but I think NS in place of Stuck; UC or LRM crop up on night 3, or UC with a LRM snippet then
Don’t know about Matkin, but my pick for surprises tonight is OOC second, Unknown C in Stuck’s place, and UV in the encore.
@Drea104 Ask and ye shall receive! http://www.youtube.com/w…
@coolian2 I may not be a Snow Patrol fan, but I haven’t heard a song by them as bad as the best musical song.
Ax just cruising by here to note that Snow Patrol have played their opening set … and to wonder why we’re talking about musicals!
And having sung that, I have to say that Stars is my favourite song from the musical. U2 should totally cover it.
One more dawn… one more day… ONE! DAY! MOREEEEEE!!!
@Drea104 Yes, Alfie Boe does a very good job. Nice that Lea Salonga was back too. Really enjoyed Eponine.
Drea104 @u2gigs However the 25th anniversary Valjean is a worthy successor to Colm Wilkinson - his voice is *gorgeous*!
Poor Marius; he’s completely overshadowed at every angle. Michael Ball just destroys him at the end.
And can I just say; Nick Jonas isn’t a terrible singer, but he is not suited to the stage. At all. His voice isn’t commanding or powerful
He thinks the same about Cosette.
My Dad is convinced that the same person plays Gabroche in the 10th and 25th anniversary Les Miserables. Oh dear.
