Not content with just rehearsing before the first show, U2 have done another rehearsal at Azteca Stadium ahead of their second and third shows in Mexico City. Twitter user bonoserch, who is apparently already in line for the second show, is our main source for this rehearsal - and we thank fellow Twitterer The_Impulse for bringing the tweets to our attention.

The first few songs were possibly by the techs, but the full band did indeed show up and played the big surprises. The songs rehearsed (in order as far as we can tell) were:

1. Magnificent
2. Zooropa
3. City Of Blinding Lights
4. Vertigo
5. Even Better Than The Real Thing
--- We believe there was a break here ---

6. Unknown Caller
7. Love Rescue Me
8. Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
9. Out Of Control
10. Even Better Than The Real Thing

Note the appearance of Out Of Control, only played once so far this tour, and Love Rescue Me, only played twice this tour at a couple of shows on the Australian leg in December 2010. You may also recall a few days ago that we reported the rehearsal of Unknown Caller's riff, and the song has shown up again; it was last played on 28 October 2009 at the end of the second leg of 360°. Could this rehearsal be hints of surprises to come at the second and third Mexican gigs? Check back over the next two days for our reports and terrorsittich's videos from the shows.
