Matt here. Feels unreal to hear them live but be not there as so many times recently. Can’t wait to be in Cardiff on Saturday.
And there we go, show’s over on the Q feed as well. It’s been a good time.
So I’m eating breakfast while listening to U2 close a concert (almost) live, in great sound quality. What a world!
The Elevation wah-wah must’ve been a mistake on the Polish end of the live feed. Didn’t notice anything untoward in the Q feed.
@arnaudt That may hold for the current tour, but I don’t think it does for past tours. Good spotting though!
Shame that One didn’t have Hear Us Coming today.
Can’t believe there’s just one European show to go…
And the show’s done … though not if you hop over to the Q stream! Just up to Desmond Tutu now.
OK, I’m adding the Gloria snip to Streets, as ridiculously brief as it may be.
For those not listening live, Edge’s Elevation wah-wah effect cropped up in WOWY and MOS by accident. (thanks @atu2 and @U2start)
@U2start Thanks for clarifying. Won’t put that in the set then! But haha, this’ll be interesting to hear when Q catches up…
@U2start Wait, are you serious, Elevation snips in WOWY and MOS? Good god.
Now the band’s up to Moment Of Surrender.
No Shine Like Stars. :(
WOWY just isn’t WOWY without Shine Like Stars. Here’s hoping Bono does it tonight. It was great at Dublin III.
After UV is With Or Without You.
@U2start Aussie gigs will be at about lunchtime/early afternoon European time. Good luck to you lot staying up for US gigs…
Sometimes I think I should’ve stayed in bed and typed the set in my sleep. But this broadcast was worth getting up at 5:15am.
Ultra Violet opens the encore.
@U2log That sucks. Hope you can get things resolved and back online ASAP.
Encore break.
Forgot to mention at the time: today’s Beautiful Day was its 300th performance.
Yep, it’s Mysterious Ways after One!
So, reckon they will do MW after One tonight? Let’s hope! Though Bad would be even better…
… naturally leading into One.
And now Desmond Tutu has a GRRRRREAT message for Sheffield …
A snip of Gloria in Streets? Will check it myself when Q’s feed catches up.
@U2start Really hope the Aussie tour does happen, and that they also go to New Zealand - to my hometown of Wellington!
Now it’s time for Streets.
You’ll Never Walk Alone snip at the end of Walk On. Shame there’s no Liverpool gig this year, huh?
@U2start Ultra Violet once was enough for me. Cardiff is Matt’s last gig. This is Ax; I’m already back in Melbourne. Dublin was last.
@U2start A shower break? Haha. Guess that’d be the encore for me, assuming it remains unchanged.
And, of course, it leads into Walk On.
MLK now.
@U2start Stuck In A Moment is when I make my run for refreshments. Pride doesn’t sound all bad this tour.
And now Pride after SBS.
Oliver’s Army snip in SBS.
15th is Sunday Bloody Sunday.
The Let’s Dance snip Bono was doing in Crazy seems to have vanished now…
Crazy also has Two Tribes snip.
@ProdigyShark Haven’t identified any snips not already listed in the set. Was there something at the end of Breathe too?
Live, it’s Crazy Tonight with Reverend Black Grape (Come Ye Faithful) snippet.
So, the Q broadcast DOES include snippets, contrary to speculation re: the delay. Just heard Blackbird.
Vertigo is 13th song.
So no ADWM snippet in UF? Shame …
Next in the set is City Of Blinding Lights
Thanks folks, just added Happy Birthday to the set on the mainpage: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
Those of you listening to the live Polish feed, did Bono actually sing Happy Birthday himself, or just get the crowd to sing it?
Next is The Unforgettable Fire.
Oh, and the live set? After Stuck, it’s Unknown Caller.
Well, now I’m listening to Q’s delayed broadcast at least…
http://twitpic.com/emiew - The delayed broadcast on U2.com finally started.
Wow, IE for Mac is awful. And the feed still didn’t want to work for me. Damn!
Movin’ On Up snippet in ISHFWILF, then Bono gets crowd to sing Happy Birthday for Willie Williams, then Stuck In A Moment.
I Still Haven’t Found is seventh.
Blackbird snippet at the end of BD, now onto Elevation.
Now downloading/poisoning my computer with IE for Mac to see if the Polish feed works in that.
Fifth is Beautiful Day
Oh yeah, fourth is Magnificent.
No luck with the Polish link on Mac OSX, either in Firefox or Safari. Hope you folks have better luck …
Apparently a Polish link is really live (I must be the only person who can’t get it to work): http://bit.ly/zIByY
Third is Get On Your Boots
Second is No Line On The Horizon
Yep, radio is delayed. Breathe is the concert opener.
So, intro music has begun in Sheffield. Will the broadcast have a delay, then?
What a shock, U2.com seems to have fallen over… well, at least Q Radio seems to work. Interview now: http://radioplayer.qthem…
Remember, folks: the gig later today in Sheffield is being broadcast live on UK radio, and on U2.com for subscribers.
