Redrockinfreek Bono gets swarmed on stage HAHA youtube.com/watch?v=OR3FZr… #Montreal #U2MTL #u2 @U2 @U2Community @u2gigs @U2TourFan
@gunga07 Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like anybody’s uploaded a video of 40 yet but we’ll keep an eye on it.
markpeterboro U2 Setlist stats after Montreal 4th night (17 gigs) #setlistgeek #U2ieTour #U2 @u2gigs http://t.co/utgIiIlT1C
JamieHarnett That was amazing @U2 @u2gigs http://t.co/aZglX1cyx1
Here is the full Montreal 4 setlist and show info: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Crowd chant “how long to sing this song?” and show is over. Thanks @mysteriousdays for the great Mixlr feeds at these shows! #U2ieTour #U2
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney But given the work that went into MDrug I’m surprised they haven’t tried it elsewhere in set.
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney Ah right, yeah COBL clearly does encore opening job better than MDrug.
40 is dedicated to those grieving the Berkeley balcony collapse that killed 6 Irish students. #U2ieTour #U2
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney HA and how about this.
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney I suspect 40 may come back for at least the final NYC show.
@gilson_jr_ Haha, yeah, I think I’ve always been in quite a minority about this.
22. Mother and Child Reunion snippet (and a line from Leonard Cohen’s Anthem) lead into Where The Streets Have No Name. #U2ieTour #U2
Aha, thanks, this is the song Bono tried to sing after COBL. Crowd sang it very loudly. https://twitter.com/Jean…
@KevinMFeeney Yeah I’m surprised that has totally vanished, not just from 1st encore slot but that it hasn’t even been tried elsewhere.
@gilson_jr_ I don’t dislike it quite so intensely now, but it’s still one of my least favourites.
@gilson_jr_ Oh I’ve always disliked the song, there are some shocking rants from me about it in the depths of Interference!
Bono spotted a Quebec flag in the crowd and is now trying to remember & sing a French song. Anybody know what this is? #U2ieTour #U2
@gilson_jr_ That presentation would work rather well though!
@gilson_jr_ The rest of the U2gigs team may be down with that, but I (Ax) hope UV is never played again, sorry!
Stephen Hawking video. Thanks to @EveryBrokenWave we just added this little Edge appearance at Hawking’s 60th b’day: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
That’s the end of the main set, check the full setlist here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Cheers! Here’s more details on what Bono was talking about during Pride. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/MaJo…
Bono after Pride continuing to talk about Saudi man, “most barbaric sentence… a thousand lashes… for a peaceful website”. #U2ieTour #U2
Now talking about a man held in Saudi Arabian prison for running a website. “Sing your song of freedom all the way to Saudi Arabia!” #U2
Bullet hasn’t had the little snippet of 19 since Denver 1. Snips done every show: M&CReunion & California in Streets; Hands before Pride.
@ryannichols7 Nice to know Edge is human, like how Bono forgets the lyrics to One. YOU’VE ONLY SUNG IT OVER SIX HUNDRED TIMES MAN.
@jackmhicken @U2Sydney AIWIY would’ve been awesome, but that song avoids me live so it had no chance of being done in Melbourne.
Bono spoke about “we haven’t played this for a while … Edge has that look in his eye” so I thought might be something rarer than Stuck!
15. Preceded by a long speech, Stuck in a Moment. 2nd performance of tour, back after missing 7 shows. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono has a woman on stage to do Meerkat. “Take a look at these folks,” he says about the crowd, “very sexy city!” #U2ieTour #U2
@U2Sydney Keep in mind, since this is MY extravaganza, I’m writing the set, so no chance of Love Rescue Me boredom. THIS WILL TOTES HAPPEN.
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now.. don’t miss the final Montreal show. #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1SpGZkE
@U2Sydney But R&H era would mean Hawkmoon, God Part II, and the glorious live debut of Heartland!
I hope you’re enjoying Mysterious Ways via @mysteriousdays’ audio feed: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
@U2Sydney I’m lucky that as long as I get my stuff done, nobody cares that much WHEN I do it. So I just stay a little later on show days.
@U2Sydney Yeah covering these shows kind of mucks up my workday…
It’s intermission time, so lift some stones and see the skin and bones of a setlist in Montreal: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
I think but am not 100% sure that UTEOTW had some of John Milton’s Paradise Lost at the end. Will need to confirm before adding to set.
Until The End Of The World has the “where is the love?” line from Love And Peace Or Else. #U2ieTour #U2
I’ve not done predictions for 2nd set/encore. Let’s say Crystal Ballroom live debut, OLove (or just Elev/Stuck!), AIWIY, One. #U2ieTour #U2
@U2Sydney I hope they save the ultimate surprise for Australia: AX’S CRAZY BOY AND UNFORGETTABLE FIRE ERAS EXTRAVAGANZA IN A TINY CLUB
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1GQgf9g
Bono in his little speech about Song For Someone described his younger self as “a face like a tin of beans”. #U2ieTour #U2
If you’re scrambling for streams, @mysteriousdays has a great - and stable! - audio feed: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave I suck at emails and you suck at Facebook.
Thanks! In case anybody was wondering what Bono was saying in French before Iris: https://twitter.com/Angi…
@EveryBrokenWave Except keeping in touch with me! Well, here you go, will mention it at start of encore: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
5. Iris. Bono says about the rest of the band “they have their own stories … but I’ve got the microphone.” #U2ieTour #U2
After I Will Follow, Bono is speaking in French about Montreal. I’ve no idea what he’s saying though! #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave You used to! /grumpy
@ryannichols7 @ClaytonsKitten @JeffReinhart77 Yeah MW without the slide solo is an expendable warhorse. MW with slide solo is a keeper.
@EveryBrokenWave Ugh sorry! And the venue for this would be Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, yes?
4. I Will Follow. Also a tiny snippet of Joy Division’s Transmission at end of Vertigo.
Bono counted in Vertigo in Spanish at Montreal #2, but other 3 nights have been French. #U2ieTour #U2
@_aihsila Actually I think only first night? Second night he said it in English, anyhow.
@KevinMFeeney I didn’t expect it to work as well as it does. It’s not quite a Hawkmoon, Streets, 11OTT, or Mofo, but it’s good.
@EveryBrokenWave Ah excellent, yes that should definitely do! Cheers!
@JeffReinhart77 @ryannichols7 I really, really wish they’d just rotate EBTTRT/MW.
Here’s our mainpage article where we’ll post the full set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
1. First song of the night is The Miracle. Bono shouts “the most beautiful sound in the world” in French. #U2ieTour #U2
People Have The Power has just started. #U2 will be on stage in a few minutes. Will Crystal Ballroom make it out of soundcheck? #U2ieTour
Hey folks, Ax here for Montreal 4. @mysteriousdays has a Mixlr feed, preshow music playing now: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave DO GO ON
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney The fact it’s apparently from his parents’ perspective is … a bit creepy, to be honest.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Why change the lyrics? BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE WE CAN WE MUST. (uggghhhhh)
@KevinMFeeney I’m happy for it to become a regular if it displaces certain songs… but we all know it’ll just go into the mid-2nd set bit.
@atu2 @keirdubois Yeah, the clamour for Mercy to be played/released - and then the meltdown when it was played - was massive.
