Here is In A Little While from the 2nd U2 show in La Plata http://u2.gs/jq #u2360ARG #U2360SAM

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Stuck In A Moment You Can’t Get Out Of from the 2nd La Plata show http://u2.gs/jn #U2360ARG

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Beautiful Day from the 2nd La PLata show http://u2.gs/jm A fan recites Gracias A La Vida before it #U2360ARG

 via U2gigs (Matt)

The new opener Even Better Than The Real Thing from the 2nd show in La Plata http://u2.gs/jk #U2360ARG

 via U2gigs (Matt)

Internet is a mess here. Hopefully some videos are up after the night here in Argentina. Can’t promise anything …

 via U2gigs (Matt)

@u2_news I’d say crazy in a very good way :) Really enjoy the shows here.

 via U2gigs (Matt) in reply to u2_news

@u2_news Oh, that was me (Matt) while editing the setlist after being back from the show. Thanks for the heads up!

 via U2gigs (Matt) in reply to u2_news

@dawn9902 Heh, no worries, will reply further from my personal account…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

Hi folks, Matt here. Network was down for me but got some vids. Great show. People here really rock. #U2360ARG

 via Twitter for iPhone

@dawn9902 I think that’s a bit patronising. But then you probably think some of my favourite genres are unlistenable noise.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

Here’s the full setlist and info for La Plata 2: http://u2.gs/lp2 #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Thank you so much to @popartist61, @FioU2, and @u2_news for tonight’s live updates - couldn’t have done it without any of you. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

There we go, folks, 23rd and last tonight is Moment Of Surrender! Write-up in a few mins, hopefully vids from Matt soon too. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dawn9902 My fav Muse song, Dead Star, can’t even touch One Tree Hill, UF, Bad, Zooropa, Exit, 11OTT, etc.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@dawn9902 Well I (Ax, yes) would never suggest Muse’s best would come close to touching U2’s best songs, but U2 aren’t playing their best!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@FioU2 Do you know if they’re up to Moment Of Surrender yet?

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Gravy1199 I reckon they could fairly easily re-invent some older songs so that Bono can sing them now. Wish they would…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Gravy1199

@dawn9902 Like I say, I totally agree re: last 2 Muse albums derivative. But U2 have totally trendhopped too, from post-punk to Madchester.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

22nd is With Or Without You. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dawn9902 e.g. Plug In Baby? Some similarity to Bends-era Radiohead, but RH never played guitar like that. Closer to Swervedriver, Ride.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@dawn9902 I agree re: post-Absolution Muse, but Origin Of Symmetry in particular I think you’re exaggerating.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@Gravy1199 It’s a very selective “what made us” history though that ignores most of the 1990s and almost everything pre-War.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Gravy1199

Second encore opens with Ultra Violet, 21st song of the night and its first performance for 2011. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dawn9902 I get that you have an axe to grind against Muse, and cool that’s your taste, but let’s not put U2 on a special pedestal here.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@dawn9902 Oh you can. Let’s take my fav U2 album, UF. It’s just a mix of Eno with Echo & The Bunnymen.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

Amazing Grace snippet leads into Streets, 20th song of the night. No MOTD tonight …? #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@comay Already feels like they’re starting to think of NLOTH in the same way as Pop due to the commercial disappointment too. :(

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to comay

.@FioU2 notes Bono briefly tributed Mercedes Sosa pre-BD and she popularly covered Gracias A La Vida, hence the Violet Parra snip. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dawn9902 No band is truly unique & original (such a rockist concept anyway); all bands are the sum of their influences.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

@dawn9902 As long as their songs are good, I couldn’t care less if they wear their influences on their sleeve. (See also: U2)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

You don’t need me to tell you that first song of the encore, 19th of the night, is One. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Bishop Tutu keeping La Plata occupied while the band run offstage for the first encore break. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Aaand there’s the You’ll Never Walk Alone snip at the end of Walk On, right on cue! #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@dawn9902 You can do that with any band though.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to dawn9902

And more thanks to @popartist61, @FioU2, and @u2_news for their setlist updates! #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

17th was Scarlet, now 18th is Walk On. If you want to catch up on the full set so far, it’s here: http://u2.gs/lp2 #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@smbonneau They got ATYCLB songs in 2006 though, just like other places that missed Elevation. No need for the continued ATYCLB lovefest.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to smbonneau

Meant to say “then an older boy was on stage during COBL”, past tense, since we’re in SBS now! But what’s muddled tenses amongst friends?

 via U2gigs (Ax)

More from @popartist61: Gracias A La Vida was a “very long” snip at the end of B Day, and now an older boy’s on stage during COBL. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@popartist61 Thank you so much for all the info!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to popartist61

Crazy Tonight also has Two Tribes snip, now 16th is Sunday Bloody Sunday. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

.@popartist61 has confirmed that Bono did indeed sing the snippet of Gracias A La Vida.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Allan_Oroz I think they got cold feet with the NLOTH material after the lukewarm response it got in the US.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Allan_Oroz

@popartist61 Great, thanks! Would you say it was a snip in Stuck or in BDay? (Or a sep song!)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to popartist61

14th is Vertigo, 15th is Crazy Tonight with an It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll snippet. Thanks @FioU2/@u2_news! #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Gravy1199 And they should’ve kept playing the NLOTH songs, since this tour is meant to promote it, not some 11 year old album.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Gravy1199

@Alisaura No, though they got stuff from it in 2006 like we did.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Alisaura

Can anybody clarify if Gracias A La Vida (which is by Violetta Parra, not Sosa) was snippeted by Bono or just by a girl on stage? #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Got to admit, I totally agree with those of you disappointed that U2 are playing more from ATYCLB than NLOTH. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

13th is City Of Blinding Lights. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@Drea104 Aahaha, why didn’t I think of that!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Drea104

@Allan_Oroz I’ve been fairly convinced it’s a greatest hits tour ever since it began, honestly!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to Allan_Oroz

@MemphisMullen I always enjoyed tweeting the set from shows.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to MemphisMullen

FioU2 . @u2_news tells me that the song recited before B.l Day was GRACIAS A LA VIDA by MERCEDES SOSA http://tinyurl.com/3qcqf… #U2 #U2360ARG

 via yoono (retweeted on 3:38 AM, Apr 3rd, 2011  via web)

12th is Miss Sarajevo. @popartist61 reports a snip of an Argentinian song at the end of BD. #U2360ARG

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Unbelievably, we’re now at 4 of the last 5 songs being from ATYCLB. Shit, is it still 2001? Yep, 11th song is In A Little While. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@ZooBaby91 So shall I fall over myself to praise these songs in the hope they’ll drop them in favour of UF tracks? ;)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to ZooBaby91

3 out of the 4 last songs are from ATYCLB. Surely, surely IALW won’t be next?! U2 must remember they have other albums… #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Tenth is Beautiful Day. Or to quote @popartist61: “Bono has a gal reciting some argentinian song. Now BD” #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@ZooBaby91 Haha. Maybe they’ll have realised they shouldn’t inflict both Stuck and IALW on a crowd… a fan can hope, eh?

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to ZooBaby91

@anorthernsoul78 Haha, though I’m sure IALW will still be in the set later.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to anorthernsoul78

Got to say @popartist61 is doing a great job reporting the set so far. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Stand By Me snip at the end of ISHFWILF, then ninth is acoustic Stuck (eww), first time in 2011 and only third time since 2009. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@ZooPony Haha yeah, we all know Bono needs an hour for his speechifying.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to ZooPony

@trainmaniac Be surprised/disappointed if 4 out of 5 songs in a row are from ATYCLB (i.e. Elev/ISHF/Stuck/BD/IALW)

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

Will next be a new song or just BD? There was a rumour Glasto was soundchecked, but I never got confirmation of that. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Lots of interesting guesses, and eighth is… I Still Haven’t Found. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Will they just go straight from Elevation to ISHFWILF and continue with business as usual? Or BD? Or something else? #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Seventh is Elevation. But what next, as UTEOTW has already been done! #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@trainmaniac It was only at some shows in late Sept/early Oct ’09. They’d open with Breathe/Boots then do Magnif/NLOTH a bit later.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

Sixth is Mysterious Ways. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@trainmaniac No, they were separated at some 2009 North American shows too, sometimes by a few songs.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

By far the earliest UTEOTW has been in the set this tour. Last time it was this early, it was 4th in the set on 2006-11-30. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

But there’s the confirmation from @popartist61! UTEOTW a surprisingly early fourth, then Magnificent fifth. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@MissLuchifer Not that I know of. Data networks at the venue are pretty overloaded.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to MissLuchifer

Apparently fourth is Until The End Of The World, though I’m not taking that as confirmed just yet… #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@atu2 I will! Just waiting now…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to atu2

Third song of the night is Boots. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

OK folks, I’ll be posting the full setlist live as it happens to this article: http://u2.gs/lp2 #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Second is New Year’s Day in its first performance for 2011. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@trainmaniac The world needs more Mofo in U2’s setlists!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

U2 begin with… EVEN BETTER THAN THE REAL THING! #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Now it’s Space Oddity time! So that was a build-up of Discoverer (REM) and De Música Ligera (Soda Stereo) into Space Oddity. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

The Argentinian song is De Música Ligera by Soda Stereo, per @FioU2. Bono dedicated MOS to singer Gustavo Cerati at La Plata 1. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

And after Discoverer is an Argentinian song that @popartist61 reports is quite popular with the La Plata crowd. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@RugbyByDilbert Nope, night 1 in Melbourne was 1 Dec, then a rest day, then night 2 was on 3 Dec.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to RugbyByDilbert

Via @popartist61, pre-show PA music not Elbow tonight, but REM’s new song Discoverer. To me, a rare good song from post-80s REM. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@gazza_954 Haha, no worries. As for the very first Barca show, 29 June, that was just the dress rehearsal. Maybe should list it elsewhere.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to SirGazzatron

@aleh_ Haven’t seen a stream yet, alas …

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to aleh_

@gazza_954 Just checked and there was only one night off in Barca. 1st show on 30 June, rest day on 1 July, 2nd show on 2 July.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to SirGazzatron

Trying to think when U2 have had 2 full rest days between nights 1 & 2, but can’t think of any prior to now. Can anyone else? #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@ZooPony I (Ax) don’t now that I no longer subscribe to U2.com, but yeah, I’d heard about this Magnif remix thing. Could be interesting…

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to ZooPony

@trainmaniac I’ve always wanted to hear Dead Star live, my fav Muse song, but no luck yet!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

God, let’s hope getting accurate setlist info for U2 isn’t quite as hard as Muse. Hate it when people post bullshit. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@trainmaniac When Muse played Melbourne in 2010, they did Bliss at one show - it was awesome. They did Citizen Erased too; even better!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

So via @popartist61, the only diff between Muse’s set tonight and La Plata 1 is Feeling Good played instead of Eurasia. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

That unconfirmed Muse set earlier? Damn right it was unconfirmed. It’s bollocks. @popartist61 confirms NO BLISS. :( #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@trainmaniac To me, the more from Origin Of Symmetry, the better!

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to trainmaniac

Now should be half an hour until U2, I think. Will EBTTRT stay as opener? Will BD return? Or will U2 stun us all with Zooropa? #U2360ARG

 via U2gigs (Ax)

This is the Muse set I have (unconfirmed): Uprising, Supermassive, Bliss (!), Hysteria, Eurasia, Starlight, Plug In Baby, Cydonia. #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Conflicting reports from stadium: looks like Muse didn’t open with Plug In Baby, but it was in the set. Will post full set for fans soon.

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@ZooPony I think BD may go back to the start. They may love their ATYCLB, but I’d be surprised if mid-set is Stuck/BD/IALW in a row.

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to ZooPony

Muse are opening for U2 now. Their set began with Plug In Baby. Great song, possibly better than most U2 will play tonight. ;) #u2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

@MarsGirl75 I’ve given up hope of hearing Drowning Man. :( And it sounded SO good in soundchecks too …

 via U2gigs (Ax) in reply to MarsGirl75

Though you know what I reckon would dominate? Opening the entire show with HMTMKMKM. #U2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

I wonder if U2 might put UV in one of the mid-set rotational slots between ISHFWILF and IALW, and open the encore with EBTTRT… #U2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

With thanks to @liz_lemon_, today’s soundcheck has been EBTTRT, Stuck, New Year’s Day, and Ultra Violet. #U2360arg

 via U2gigs (Ax)

Hey, how’s everyone doing today? Looking forward to tonight’s set as much as I am after the shock of Even Better Than the Real Thing?

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@iambradk Heh, though it’s only 7:15pm in Buenos Aires at the moment.
