U2's Denver setlist, 21/05
Today, after a year's postponement, U2 began their tour of the US/Canada with a show in Denver. Yesterday, the band performed a private show at Invesco Field for about 300 invited guests and Special Olympians - see our report for full details. Today, the band did not do a soundcheck, though the crew ran through a few PA tests.
Tonight's setlist was almost identical to the private show's set; the only difference was the return of regular closer Moment Of Surrender after With Or Without You. This means that All I Want Is You and Stay, both tour rarities at this stage, held onto their positions in the set, while I Still Haven't Found clocked up an unusual absence. The appearance of Zooropa in the setlist marks the first time an electric, full band version of a song from the Zooropa album has been played by U2 in the US. The album's only previous representation there has been in the form of stripped-down versions of Stay (in 2001, 2009, and this show) and The First Time (in 2005).
