Dress rehearsal in Barcelona, 29/06

Tomorrow is the big day. The 360° Tour will begin with a concert to over 90,000 people at Camp Nou in Barcelona. Today, the band played a much more intimate gig at Camp Nou as a dress rehearsal. Our webmaster Macphisto is in the city, and we would like to extend our thanks to wider online fan community.

Live debuts of Unknown Caller and Moment Of Surrender. The Unforgettable Fire is played for the first time since 6 January 1990, 19 years, 5 months, and 23 days ago; Ultra Violet is played for the first time since 28 August 1993, 15 years, 10 months, and 1 day ago. Also of note are In A Little While, returning to the set after only two Vertigo Tour appearances, the last of which was on 5 November 2005, and MLK, returning to the set after only five Vertigo Tour appearances, the last of which was on 22 November 2005.

Short speeches preceded Beautiful Day, Unknown Caller, and One; there was an unidentified snippet in I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Spotlights were shone into the sky for both City Of Blinding Lights and Where The Streets Have No Name. There must have been problems during Vertigo, as Edge's guitar dropped out. Crazy Tonight is indeed quite different, a re-invention. Walk On was dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, and unlike at some private rehearsals, there was no encore break after it. The band stayed on stage; Bono thanked the crowd and a pre-recorded speech by Desmond Tutu began, leading into Where The Streets Have No Name. After Moment Of Surrender closed the show, Rocket Man by Elton John was played as taped outro music.
