@adammajorcsik Done - hadn’t actually checked to see if he’d done that during prev performances this tour.
A Sort Of Homecoming came 2nd in #U2Request & we know Acrobat at #1 won’t be happening. #asignofhomecoming surely worth a shot #U2ieTour #U2
Now time for signs for A Sort of Homecoming. #asignofhomecoming & talk to band & know it on guitar. Let’s make it happen folks #U2ieTour #U2
So #signlikestars has been working for Shine Like Stars - fans have brought signs and spoken to the band and Bono sang it. #U2ieTour #U2
@TyTy1124 @U2 A+ for the success of your #signlikestars! Let’s hope Shine Like Stars sticks around for the rest of the tour.
Only two cities on the #U2ieTour have got 24+ songs every night: Vancouver (2 shows) and Boston (4 shows). #U2
@markpeterboro @iluEdge Yeah that one was much shorter so we’ve kept it as a snippet.

Here’s the full setlist and write-up for Boston 4: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
markpeterboro U2 Setlist after the final Boston show (28 gigs) #setlistgeek #U2ieTour @u2gigs #u2 http://t.co/BsBaEvlIfZ
@celtic11111 There is a rumour, albeit unconfirmed, that it was rehearsed briefly in May.
@U2start How about Three Sunrises/Two Hearts/One Tree Hill/One/40… and maybe a sneaky Vertigo too.
@stubby70 Haha yeah I need the counting lesson judging by today’s effort…
@jdiamjr But of course!
U2Community “4 nights… should have been 14” says the singer to Boston. We shone like stars & are closing with 40.. Very special night.. #U2ieTour
One and 40 should be preceded by Two Hearts to get the numbered songs together. A new encore theme: NUMERACY! #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney Whole show over PA. We’re already a couple of songs there…
Snippet of Invisible at the end of One. Possibly the most Bono’s sung during this performance! #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney I get the feeling he could walk out during these performances of One to beat the traffic and noone’d notice.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney We need Bono to decide he has to have a mid-show rest but for Edge to perform. VDL/Numb rotation.
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Actually, in a rare apt moment, VDL made its live debut in Melbourne, the closest U2 have got to Tasmania.
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Confirmed: Van Diemen’s Land to be played at all Canadian shows.
@KevinMFeeney I’m worried that him shouting “AUSTRALIA! STRAYA! STRAAAYYYAAAA!!!” over Streets would go down all too well here.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney Or, well, NYC, but you get my point.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney It’s like how Angel Of Harlem on many tours seemed to be played anywhere but Harlem…
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Totally with you on that bitterness. Wish I could’ve got it in Europe 2009 or Australia 2010. Sigh.
@LoRoxPhotog Nope, not yet this tour.
@KevinMFeeney Everybody yells back convict jokes.
Bono sung Happy Birthday over BDay’s outro to a young fan with a sign. Brought her on stage. She’s 13. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney OH GOD. We’ve already had Young Australians…
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney I am trying really hard to not laugh here in my office, which is just making me want to laugh more.
@KevinMFeeney “Nice to be here in cloudy, rainy London!” *California opens show*
@KevinMFeeney In fact they do Hands/Pride through Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, 1st visit to Antarctica, etc, then drop it for 2nd US leg
@KevinMFeeney This has been a nagging worry at the back of my mind…
Beautiful to hear Bono really embracing and celebrating the #BostonStrong mentality those great folks have up in Beantown. Wonderful (Chris)
Bono bids the crowd goodnight and that’s the end of the main set, view whole thing here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney With new speech in Pride: “Nobody won in Greece, that’s why everybody lost in Greece!”
@KevinMFeeney Bullet / One Step Closer to Grexit / Pride
“No bomb that can break you”- Bono, in reference to the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. Tremendous rant about the attack tonight.
Bono is giving a speech during Pride about the Boston bombings, as with prev 3 shows but very passionate tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
@nickcicale I miss when he absolutely tore it up on ZooTV. Best Bullet solo ever.
@KevinMFeeney Fingers crossed it vanishes on the 2nd leg.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Ahahaha yeah check out all these copies of Songs Of Ascent I have.
@carynrose I think he was just yelling it randomly.
Bono’s using the megaphone during Bullet’s first verse again.
EBW-Bullet don’t share much in the way of a theme, and the “jarring” transition almost felt forced. EBW-WOWY-COBL gets a thumbs up! (Chris)
For what it’s worth, I (Chris) think the EBW-WOWY-Hawking-COBL transition is better than EBW-Bullet. Flows much nicer for a few reasons
WTSHNN Bono had AJ run to mainstage to get the bullhorn right after WOWY. He must have thought Bullet was next. #u2ieTour
SHINE. LIKE. STARS. YES. (Chris)
Shine Like Stars was preceded by Bono singing “Maaassachusetts” over Edge’s solo. Now Stephen Hawking video is playing. #U2ieTour #U2
That’s right people, he actually sung a proper second line for Shine Like Stars today, one he sung back in the eighties! #U2ieTour #U2
YEEEAAAHHH WE’LL SHINE LIKE STAAAARS IN THE SUMMER NIGHT WE’LL SHINE LIKE STARS AND IT’LL BE ALRIGHT! #U2ieTour #U2
Alright get out your #signlikestars for Shine Like Stars. #U2ieTour #U2
@highkin @ryannichols7 That would lead to the most conflicted meltdown ever. “HOLY SHIT IT’S STAND UP CO-OOOHHHH GOD NOOOO”
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I choose to forget this.
@KevinMFeeney True - though Pride/Streets on Vertigo probably still tops the list. And they stuck it out THE WHOLE DAMN TOUR.
@KevinMFeeney And we might be about to get another candidate: COBL seguing into Bullet. Seriously, what?
@KevinMFeeney AN ENTIRE TOUR of Bono wearing an ACTUAL SUIT OF LIGHTS without performing Gone.
@KevinMFeeney Now that would make for a very longrunning article series…
Stuck In A Moment, sounding so beautiful on piano. Lovely, just lovely. (Chris)
OK I have no idea what the banter is going on right now but Bono just mentioned Tinder. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney “I don’t understand this band” - a thought I’ve had so many times working on this site.
Bono: “where are you from?” Fan: “I think everyone’s from Boston tonight!” WELL PLAYED. #U2ieTour #U2
MWays has snippet of Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves by Eurythmics & Aretha Franklin. #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now.. don’t miss the final Boston show. #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1CIcfb2
@scatterolight Rotating troll intermissions of Acrobat, Heartland, Drowning Man, Red Hill Mining Town…
@KevinMFeeney Hah no kidding.
@Alberto_Fanjon Not live.
scatterolight acrobat as intermission song would be an ideal troll. #u2ietour
11. The second set opens with Invisible, as per usual, after that surprise intermission of The Fly remix. #U2ieTour #U2
jpstarkey The fly remix… Is the fly coming? #u2ietour cc: @u2gigs http://t.co/nicMNejAuO
How awesome would a first set closing duo of UTEOTW and The Fly be? Sounds perfect to me. (Chris)
@atu2 Wrooong night to skip out on the intermission! (I very nearly raced off too.)
It’s intermission time, so check out the full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@Wall82Jonathan I would be a very happy man if some of those were played, especially One Tree Hill as a setlist fixture.
RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISED BYYY WOLLLVES!!! Is it Saturday yet?! (Chris)
@donwarwick48009 But what I wouldn’t give for a setlist heavy on their best eighties material…
@donwarwick48009 Probably not for a while, since the new stuff is generally getting better crowd response than NLOTH did in 2009.
@IM7507 My parents moved down there recently for some reason. I don’t know how you guys handle the heat.
I (Ax) have had my attention drawn to my shocking counting today: Gloria had missed FIVE shows before today’s performance. #U2ieTour #U2
@Robbie_J …bloody hell I REALLY can’t count today.
Bono is crazy for just laughing off the heat. It’s been so obscenely hot and humid here in the Northeast this week! (Chris)
@sb_wreeldeal My baseball team is fighting for a playoff spot and I’m already missing my game for NYC 5. Don’t know if I want to miss twice!
@EveryBrokenWave Now there’s a good motivation!
He blames rain for the melancholy in #U2’s early songs, and now talking about Dublin in 70s and Dublin today being very different. #U2ieTour
Bono: “we joined a band to get out of the rain. Lot of rain in Dublin in the seventies.” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono thanks Boston for the loan of their city: “guess we’ll have to give it back to you at some point”. #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave …I really need to hurry up and keep that promise.
#U2 have played I Will Follow over 850x live. Missing sets mean it prob played another 130-160 times so it has likely passed 1,000 plays.
@sb_wreeldeal I’m hoping to score a pair of GAs for the 2nd show, depending on my baseball schedule that day.
Next time U2 play The Miracle, Vertigo and I Will Follow, yours truly will be in attendance. Been waiting years for this. So pumped! (Chris)
@U2sJerseygirl Lived in and around the city my entire life.
@U2sJerseygirl 1, 5 and 8!
@BrewCuse I (Ax) keep wondering this too…
Man, I (Chris) would LOVE to see Gloria at one of my NYC shows. I may love the 2000s, but I do love me some early 80s tunes.
Sorry, Gloria’s back after missing 3 shows not 4. Said yesterday I promise I can count, but not sure I’m keeping that promise. #U2ieTour #U2
@PascalGteD It was soundchecked before two of the Chicago shows.
And I fully anticipate the second song will be Gloria. We will know the answer to that very soon! #U2ieTour #U2
I (Ax) would like Chris’s picks to be right, but if we get a new War song tonight I bet it’ll be NYD not Two Hearts. #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s our mainpage article where we will have the full Boston 4 setlist in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 I’d be down with that. Would be one of the best sets of tour if it happened.
Hi all (and Ax), Chris here. Official bold prediction: We get The Fly AND Two Hearts Beat As One tonight!
People Have The Power is playing in Boston. Here are two Mixlr audio feeds: http://mixlr.com/u2isabl… and http://mixlr.com/diana-p… #U2ieTour #U2
@stnorth Kite on Vertigo was only done at the 7 Aussie shows and one in New Zealand. Had didgeridoo & and an extended outro. Was great.
@RsTner @jeffersonwaful @U2 We will be, as usual.
Let’s hope Dallas isn’t kidding. Could today’s soundcheck (see earlier tweet) be a harbinger? #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/jeff…
Hi folks, Ax here to take you through Boston 4. If you missed it yesterday, there are Aussie #U2ieTour rumours: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@stnorth Let’s not forget the excellent version of Kite done late on the Vertigo Tour! Deserves to be done again.
Soundcheck news, pre-Boston 4: @atu2comSherry and @timneufeld report THE FLY! Which segued into Invisible. #U2ieTour #U2
