U2's Amsterdam #1 setlist, 29/07/17
U2 have just performed their first of two gigs in Amsterdam, following on from their exciting video shoot for a brand new single the day before. But today's set contained no new songs—not even Little Things, which had so far been played on the first night in each city with multiple dates on this European leg, as well as in every single-date city except Berlin.
Mysterious Ways, however, remained in the encore after returning to the set at Paris 2 after a brief absence. Bad resumed its standard position in the opening salvo of songs, having missed one gig. One closed a gig for the first time in a couple of weeks; the last occasion on which it occupied the final setlist spot was at Rome 2.
Fans released balloons at the start of Beautiful Day, much to Bono's delighted surprise. During the show Bono referenced various guests in the audience, including photographer and long-time collaborator Anton Corbijn and his brother Norman, whom he thanked for not only giving him guitar lessons but also for introducing him to David Bowie's album Hunky Dory.
