Here is the full setlist for U2’s first night in Dublin on the #U2eiTour. I am about to expand the write-up too. u2gigs.com/article1304.ht…

 via Twitter Web Client

Post-show music playing over the PA. That’s definitely the end. No surprises tonight, but Gloria in the early set r… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono at the end of 13: “Honey, I’m home. Goodnight Dublin.” Looks like that’s it, no surprise song as rumoured. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Love when we quote Bono making a political observation and angry people get up in our menchies as if we can pass their tweets on to him.

 via Twitter Web Client

22. 13 (There Is a Light) #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@JeffersUtd No joke. Could fit in an entire extra song some nights.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to JeffersUtd

Woops, yes, my counting has slipped since the end of the main set. One and Love Is Bigger are 20th and 21st songs o… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client

20. Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

One ends with “no them only us” Invisible snippet. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

YES. Playing that gem just once is both weird and wrong. Would love it to get another airing before the #U2eiTour e… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

19. One is the first song of the encore. Bono’s speech: “whether there is a hard border, or a soft border, or no bo… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client

@AntonioMbass They wrote it out for as many minutes as it will last.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AntonioMbass

Band on stage, Bono speechifying, what’s new? ;)

 via Twitter Web Client

@zooclay I preferred it at the start of the tour when Bono sang a short snippet rather than pretending to chat with his wife though.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to zooclay

Encore break time. Any surprises for us in the encore? Must admit I’m surprised they tried Landlady only twice, tho… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@DexyGeno @skid63 What do you want me to do, love literally every song they do? Hell, I’ve mostly praised stuff ton… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to DexyGeno

19. City of Blinding Lights #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@jimrumpf Ahaha, somebody else asked if that counted as a Red Light snippet too, I didn’t notice!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to jimrumpf

@skid63 It looks especially cringeworthy from today’s vantage point too!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to skid63

18. New Year’s Day. Not sure I will ever tire of this song. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Thin Lizzy reference when Bono mentions that “the boys are back in town” #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@skid63 Haha that was a real nadir wasn’t it

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to skid63

@DJRoss_72 Agreed. They seem to like ending with slower songs, and 40 and Bad work, but generally I’d prefer a high… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

17. Get Out of Your Own Way #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono: “we wish for America better things than some Americans seem to wish for themselves.” #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono, as the crowd chants during Pride: “let them hear us across the Atlantic, election day USA. We used to look to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client

Lots of people guessing this could be Little Things, which would be its tour debut if so. twitter.com/u2songs/status…

 via Twitter Web Client

@AntonioMbass Lordy. I just want a rock show, not a fucken musical. Is that too much to ask!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AntonioMbass

@giddingsm74 They’ve done it every night this leg. I just haven’t covered a gig since June.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to giddingsm74

@AntonioMbass I’ve almost forgotten what song this is meant to be. Oh, here we go.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@AntonioMbass I wish he’d stop bloody talking and start the song.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AntonioMbass

15. Summer of Love. I’ve been AWOL so long that this is actually the first time I’ve heard the band play this song. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@coribald @AntonioMbass That at least was blink=and-you-miss-it stuff.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to coribald

@Toonamette It’s total whiplash. Weird pairing.

@AntonioMbass It’s still one of the most boneheaded, awkward things I’ve heard this band do. One of the (many) thin… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@WhoriskeyNeil Haha no, covering the show from Australia as usual. 9am here!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to WhoriskeyNeil

Spoken-word snippet of The Showman in the intro to The Best Thing. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Oh god is Bono still doing the silly faux chat before Best Thing. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

That should be song number 13, of course.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

u2songs For those asking why a certain song didn’t get played, there was a setlist change before showtime. That’s all we know. #U2Dublin #U2eiTour

 via Twitter for iPhone (retweeted on 10:43 PM, Nov 5th, 2018  via Twitter Web Client)

14. It’s Mr Macphisto time, so you know it’s Acrobat coming up next. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@CraigFairlie Oooh you’re not going to like my thoughts about that song in general then…!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to CraigFairlie

12. Even Better Than The Real Thing #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@CraigFairlie I think Elevation has been way overdone live, but I’d rather it be in the set twice than Best Thing once.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to CraigFairlie

Rebel Rebel snippet at the end of Vertigo #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@CraigFairlie Me when U2 play about half of the current setlist tbh.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to CraigFairlie

11. Bono asks if there are any Spanish speakers in the house, so that means Vertigo. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

I (Ax) just realised I will have to duck out in about half an hour as I have a plumber visiting my house. Hopefully… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Rodrivox Nothing. Seems they decided to skip it.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Rodrivox

Great ending to Horses. Now it’s time for the intermission between sets. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Can’t help reading that Twitter handle as President In Real Life. twitter.com/u2br/status/10…

 via Twitter Web Client

9. Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. I am VERY glad this has become a regular for the end of this leg. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

The end of Stay is always so goddamn beautiful. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

I’d do well at the Festivus airing of grievances.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Didn’t take long for Ax’s first complaint of the night! twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…

 via TweetDeck

7. The Fly. Very happy this is in the #U2eiTour set. One of U2’s best songs.

6. Zoo Station. So much for that spoiler doing the rounds earlier… #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono is now reminiscing about a show U2 did at the Baggott Inn where the record execs left early. It’d be this show… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono: “Is this the 3Arena? We must be home!” #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@thombullock Honestly I hope I never hear ABOY again. But I’m very surprised Red Flag Day hasn’t been more regular…. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to thombullock

Gloria ends with snippets of songs of the same name by both Van Morrison and Patti Smith. #U2eiTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@johnnyo217 Haha yep, at least after not hearing it for a few months I’m not 100% sick of the same banter.

@adammajorcsik Stefan is, and will be filming. I (Ax) am covering from Australia, as usual.
