The below is an off-site archive of all most tweets posted by @u2gigs ever

July 3rd, 2011

Tweetarchive for U2’s Nashville show is here: http://u2.gs/u2360nas #u2360nas #u2360vu #u2vu

 via U2gigs (Matt) from Berlin, Berlin

atu2 So here ya go: AWESOME video of “All I Want Is You” with blind fan on stage http://youtu.be/xNZjfz8r… #u2360nas #u2vu

 via TweetDeck (retweeted on 9:14 AM, Jul 3rd, 2011  via U2gigs (Matt))

terryweaver @u2gigs @atu2 here is the bands set list from tonights show. Got it from Dallas after the show http://post.ly/2KAno

 via HootSuite (retweeted on 9:05 AM, Jul 3rd, 2011  via U2gigs (Matt))

So apparently the guy who got up to play AIWIY at #U2360NAS was blind. Why didn’t I use my cane to get on stage in Melbourne and play 11OTT!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

This is Ax, signing off after a memorable #U2VU gig. Major thanks again to @bethandbono, who I feel I haven’t thanked enough for the feed!

 via U2gigs (Ax)

So here is the full Nashville setlist and show info: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Sorry for the delay with show write-up; surprise AIWIY meant I had to quickly change what I had drafted. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Woah, the guy who played AIWIY with the band got to keep Bono’s Gretsch! I know a few people who’ll be VERY jealous. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Now that is the end for real. Huge HUGE thanks to @bethandbono for the AMAZING stream, one of the best we’ve had. Loved it! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Well shit people, those of you who, like Matkin and me, were wishing for AIWIY to come back have got our wish! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

They’ve got a guy on stage with guitar… ALL I WANT IS YOU IS THE 25TH SONG! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Wait, what’s happening here … maybe NOT the end! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Bono thanks the crowd, “unbelieveable people”, and that is the end of the gig. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@u2_news Actually, the Denver rehearsal is in Various Dates already and isn’t inflating the U2gigs count.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to u2_news

24th and presumably last song of the night is Moment Of Surrender. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

He’s correct too! (The count on U2gigs would say 101, but that includes Barca dress rehearsal which I’ll move to Various Dates soon.)

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Bono’s speechifying, notes that this is the 100th show of the tour. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander (And obviously a sarcastic idea totally rigged in my favour, hehehe.)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@wxander …make tickets linked to U2 knowledge, so the diehards get in and the industry people who know nothing fail to qualify. ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@wxander Oh I’m not saying it should happen, but in a dreamworld …! Of course, as I often sarcastically suggest, you could…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

23rd is With Or Without You. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@comay Still surprised they gave up on some of them so quickly. Maybe if this had been an arena tour…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to comay

@wxander Now if they played small clubs in Melbourne, I could probably work a few connections to get in. Friends of friends in bands FTW.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

First song of second encore is Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. 22nd song of the night. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander It seemed to work in 2005 when The Electric Co. went down a treat and Boy’s sales went up. Not so much this tour it seems.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

Second encore break now. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander If I had my way, U2 would play in 300-capacity clubs to people who sing along to Luminous Times and Boy/Girl, heh.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@wxander But this is just starting to feed into my hate of stadium gigs and all the barely-even-casual fans who rock up.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@wxander Yeah, it was really weird, who knew so much could change in 4 years. Person beside me night 1 had no idea what IWF was either, ugh.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

As we move through the encores, you can catch up on the full set here: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Snippet of Amazing Grace leads into 21st song of the night, Streets. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander Striking to compare Melbourne 2006 to 2010. 2006? Bad got HUGE reaction. Last year? Lots of people looked lost. Same venue too.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@wxander I was very glad when Pride dropped out of set. Wish they’d do Bad instead, but that’s had some disturbingly weak crowd reactions.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

Still so funny back in 2009 when “one! One! ONE!” led into Streets. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

20th song of the night, first of the encore, is One. One! ONE! (Sorry, I let my inner Desmond Tutu get carried away.) #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@StephFerry I def think JT would be better represented by Bullet than ISHFWILF being trotted out yet again. Bullet —> Exit would rule.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to StephFerry

I guess this is a tacit nod to Magnif (and its new version with the Tutu samples) being left out of the set. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Interesting how the Desmond Tutu video is back rather than the Aung San Suu Kyi video. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Walk On and the main set end with the You’ll Never Walk Alone snippet. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@wxander And why would we want to hear anything from Pop? Sigh.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to wxander

@StephFerry Honestly, I think Bullet needed a rest, just because they seemed to have lost passion for it in 05. Hope it’s back next tour.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to StephFerry

@CharlieAscarate Yeah, I miss the old SBS reprise. They’ve done that periodically over various tours, but not at all this tour.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to CharlieAscarate

After Scarlet is Sixty Seconds In Kingdom Come- no, of course 19th is Walk On! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@U2Nurse Well, it doesn’t help that I (Ax) don’t know the song. Glad to know other people are out there to spot these things! Thanks!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to U2Nurse

All this snippetry leads into 17th, Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Psycho Killer and Life During Wartime snips too at the end, and there was a Miss You snip at the start of Crazy. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@StephFerry Of the 3 of us, Matkin was the only one to catch a North American show (Toronto). Matt & Ax caught almost all ’09 European show.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to StephFerry

Here’s the Discothèque snippet in Crazy! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@U2Nurse and @u2_news I totally missed the Miss You snippet…

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Oh yeah, and 16th is Crazy Tonight. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Huh, no snippet at the end of Vertigo. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

RT @brewingkris: Police closing the street. Too many people outside the stadium! #U2 #Vanderbilt http://yfrog.com/gyu51hrj #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Okay, my audio seems to be lagging a minute or two behind for me. Question from my girlfriend on Skype: ok, did i hear 1, 2, 6, 14? SIX?!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @atu2: People watching/listening from the streets outside. RT @AshMeCa: I’m totally blown away by #U2http://yfrog.com/h8i0ovnj

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

City of Blinding Awesomeness is next as usual. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @U2Nurse: @u2gigs : only if you are a mom.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @atu2comSherry: @u2gigs Is it possible to be mild and green and not be squeaky clean?

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

The inclusion of Zooropa in the set is almost as exciting to me (Ax) as Essendon’s win over Geelong last night. ALMOST. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Oh yeah, and Zooropa is up next #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

There’s always a time to ask questions, but is there ever a time to answer them? #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@coolian2 I presume you are going nuts right about now. Lucky bastard. #Zooropa

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@mduchek As far as I’m aware, Comedy never got rehearsed. Never in Barca or any soundchecks anyway.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to mduchek

@StephFerry What about NLOTH the song? That dominated in Europe in 2009.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to StephFerry

@dte421 Heh, fair enough, though I consider playing for TV to count as playing for an audience too, just in a different way.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dte421

Miss Sarajevo is up next. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

allinelemos @u2gigs that’s a shame. nloth has so many beautiful songs and has been so summarily ignored. unknown caller is a brilliant song.

 via TweetDeck (retweeted on 4:48 AM, Jul 3rd, 2011  via U2gigs (Matkin))

And if you’re just tuning in, here’s the full set so far: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Eleventh song of the night is Pride (In the Name of Love). #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Just imagine the snip outro of BDay leading into the (original) Magnif intro, then big Magnif ending leading into Pride’s 1st notes. Nice.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I (Ax) really think Magnificent would be better between BDay & Pride than Elevation is. But it seems dead like most NLOTH songs. #U2360NAS

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Tenth song of the night is Elevation. They seem to like this new set order. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

There’s the Space Oddity snip at the end of BDay. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dte421 It counts just as much as any other performance for TV counts. Honestly it prob counts more than taped/mimed Top Of The Pops gigs!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dte421

@atu2 It was ninth last time out too

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@Drea104 It wasn’t even half the lyrics by my reckoning (Ax).

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Drea104

Ninth song of the night is Beautiful Day #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

The Wanderer HAS been played live before, 2005-11-02. http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Silvox Not the debut. The Wanderer was played live in 2005 for a TV show tribute to Johnny Cash.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Silvox

I want to see The Wanderer again after this concert finishes. The Wanderer has never ever appeared at an actual U2 concert before

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Sorry but The Wanderer will only be counted as a snip. To be listed sep, it has to be an independent performance. That was dependent on ISHF

 via U2gigs (Ax)

RT @atu2comSherry: Question for the show followers - does Wanderer count as a separate song as it was 2 verses and 2 choruses?

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Stay is eighth. Guess North Star was just one show. And I vote The Wanderer be listed as a separate song ;-) #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @RnbwDashIsWin: @EveryBrokenWave Ok, a Wanderer snip… I didn’t see THAT on the printed set (yes, the snips were listed on there)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Wow, that snippet was almost long enough to count as a separate song. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

He’s still going into the second verse of The Wanderer! #u2360nas #u2vu

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Snippet of The Wanderer! What a surprise! Shock of the night! Quite a lengthy one too! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Snippet of The Wanderer at the end of ISHFWILF! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Like Matkin, I (Ax) really miss AIWIY in this slot. Wonder if it will return at Montreal 2?

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Bono’s Speech is followed of course by I Still Haven’t Found Where I Left All I Want Is You. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Seventh song of the night is the Bono speech. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

What is sixth? Bossy Boots! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Can I just say, as a man, that multi-tasking is hard! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Didn’t sound like there was a snip to me (Ax), just Bono weaving his Tehran stuff into UTEOTW. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@sirens_wail Yes, though not since The Unforgettable Fire tour

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to sirens_wail

I hope Ax caught that snippet (if it was one), I’ve only got one ear on the feed - the other is trained on the 1971 film Le Mans #U2360NAS

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Fourth up is Until the End of the World. I still wonder how they created that ‘siren’ (for lack of a better word) to open #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @jaqchapman: #U2VU you are getting a better light show than we did in the late sunset of East Lansing last week.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

U2 is Even Better Than the Real Thing! #lamepun #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Third is Mysterious Ways. Toronto 1 back in 2009 remains the last time it missed a U2 concert. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@atu2comSherry If UV makes it into the set, you can pretend you said that rather than EBTTRT. ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to atu2comSherry

This is the first time The Fly has ever been performed in Tennessee. #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Argh, I have alcohol in my ear! How did my headphones manage to get themselves dipped in my cider? #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

The Fly follows at number two in the set (and so awesome that it is finally back!) #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Here is our mainpage article where we will be posting the full setlist live: http://u2.gs/tn #U2360NAS

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Even Better Than the Real Thing opens #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Space Oddity has started; moments until showtime! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@sirens_wail I recommend checking out the performance of Wire on 1985-03-21, Chicago.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to sirens_wail

@sirens_wail Wire was played (at least) 80 times on the UF Tour: http://www.u2gigs.com/Wi…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to sirens_wail

I (Ax) think the rare few times U2 got full band SATS to work early on Popmart, it was better than studio version. Acoustic SATS = no thanks

 via U2gigs (Ax)

(Though before Ac gets the chance to jump in, full band Staring at the Sun was attempted - and failed - many times early on in PopMart)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@jcop815 Sweetest Thing was played live 30 times in 2000-01: http://www.u2gigs.com/Sw…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to jcop815

The best answer? RT @ST_U2 full band Staring at the Sun (lol)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Red Hill Mining Town and Promenade are two surprisingly popular choices! And Heartland is also much desired. My own vote? Drowning Man!

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

I was expecting 90% of the answers to be Acrobat, but a surprising number of people have voted otherwise.

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

You’ve probably heard the snippet many times yourself; it’s on the Vertigo Tour DVD ;-)

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

To answer Matkin’s question, one of my (Ax) favourite three U2 songs is Heartland. Would love them to play it someday.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Snippetwatch! Thanks to @EveryBrokenWave for noticing Drowning Man snippeted during Beautiful Day on 2005-05-10: http://bit.ly/lnGQT2

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

If U2 were to debut a never played song - WILATW, Heartland, Drowning Man etc - and asked you which they should play, what would you suggest

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

So, how’s everyone doing today? As usual I have a question for you! #U2360NAS #U2VU

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

RT @EdgeFest: Our Red Zone usher just told me that he doesn’t even look at my wristband anymore, just my hat. #U2360NAS

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

They were brief Miami snips in EBTTRT and HMTMKMKM; All You Need Is Love in Streets; Where Have All The Flowers Gone? in UTEOTW. #U2360MIA

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Just got around to adding more snippets to #U2360MIA set. All courtesy of @u2start, thanks! See next tweet for snips…

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Via @jetrojetro and @CelticArche, #U2360NAS soundcheck by the crew: Zooropa, COBL, Vertigo, MOS, EBTTRT, Pride, Streets. No band soundcheck.
