@atu2 Agreed … I (Ax) rolled my eyes when they first rehearsed it, but it’s won me over. Best it’s been in a LONG time.
Discotheque snippet as usual, and that leads into Sunday Bloody Sunday. Remember when it was played alongside Pride? #U2360MON
@colipena No stream today, unfortunately. :(
RT @ScottWeather: If this is anything like the last concert I went to the claw should collapse soon. #U2360 #U2360mon #ottawabluesfest
Vertigo into Crazy Tonight. Don’t hold out much hope for info on snippets this time! #U2360MON
peterostreicher RT @RattleAndHum24: @julesport Based upon tonight alone I think @neil_mccormick should get 1/2 my @U2com membership dues. #U2360MON @u2gigs
joshkcampbell @u2gigs thanks to you for a great website and ever-growing database! It’s been a blast! #U2360
(Spaceship pun not intended)
You just can’t top City of Blinding Lights as the big visual moment of the night #U2360MON
LaForceATL @u2gigs Zooropa into COBL may have been on of the best combos ever #u2360stage
@danjukic I was surprised they didn’t make more use of the Claw with Zooropa, but I guess it arrived too late in the game.
RT @CeciSierra: Goodbye City Of Blinding Lights. My favourite stage moment #U2360MON #U2360END
@danjukic Oh that was mean, haha! God, what WERE they thinking.
joshkcampbell @u2gigs never thought I’d develop such an emotional attachment to Space Oddity
#U2360MON #U2360END
@danjukic Haha … I’ve luckily long since forgotten the movie, so I don’t get the flashbacks!
City of Blinding Lights is next. Hope this is back next tour! #U2360MON
Okay, so Elevation had a drum solo at the end and is followed by Pride, Miss Sarajevo, and the futuristic Zooropa #U2360MON
RT @neil_mccormick: So strange to get a shout out in front of 100,000 Canadians … And Ali. #U2360
@danjukic Really? HMTMKMKM is one of my highlights, given how hard it rocks. Was thrilled when it knocked off UV.
Ahh, this reminds me so much of my debut night; no stream and barely a trickle of information from the venue! #U2360MON
One report of Miss Sarajevo. So… did they skip Pride? Is there anything else missing? Hard to tell tonight! #U2360MON
(Though LWTUA was snippeted at Glasto earlier this year, so all is not quite lost for it.) #U2360
Unless Bono snippets it tonight, this tour will be the first to not have a Love Will Tear Us Apart snip since its JT Tour debut. #U2360
(FWIW, I’m not surprised Moncton is getting the usual standard set. Never been to this neck of the woods after all!) #U2360MON
Soooo… what follows Elevation?. Any predictions? #U2360MON
@danjukic I honestly won’t be shocked if it’s never played again. Or played at the first few shows of the next tour, then quietly vanishes.
But there’s so many people to list and there’s #F1 tomorrow morning, so let’s skip naming everyone individually! ;-) #U2360MON
I’d like to give a few thanks out to all of you for making it such an awesome tour.
@popartist61 Amen! And they have to play it in Australia, just because I say so.
Want to catch up on the set so far? Look no further, we’ve got you covered! http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2360MON
@danjukic It was the only song they did at Glasto that they really didn’t seem committed to (until Bono amped up in “let me in the sound”).
RT @scottyandtony: listening to a live U2 show from my house with my wife and kids… just, wow! #thankful #U2360MON >scotty
@danjukic I honestly feel that at this point of the tour, they kind of feel “obliged” to play Boots since it was the lead single.
@u2fanz Quite correct re: BDay.
popartist61 @u2gigs They have to play Zooropa in Europe at least, now that they have it down after all these years. ;)
@SalvatoreTrubie Accio #U2360MON!
It helps when Ax is on the phone and missing the twitter updates! #U2360MON
Matkin’s getting good at beating me to this snippetry thing nowadays! #U2360MON
danjukic @u2gigs Agree. Turned out to be a really fantastic atmospheric piece in live show. Plus, has advantage of befuddling middling U2 fans! :)
Space Oddity snippet at the end of Beautiful Day. #U2360MON
Space Oddity snippet as usual, leading into Elevation (we think) #U2360MON
@Alisaura I think Magnif may have a chance next tour … I feel like it’s just been pushed out than dropped now. Breathe? UC? So dead.
@patrickmoraes_ Pop had lots of songs on the next tour. Discotheque, Gone, Staring, Please, and Dead Man all showed up on Elevation
@marinapompeu Yep, once as a remix in its usual main-set spot, then again in the encore in “normal” guise.
Last U2 lead single not played at every show of debut tour? Desire. It missed one Lovetown gig.
RT @neil_mccormick: At the end of Beautiful Day, Bono sings “tell my wife I love her very much, she knows … Neil McCormick told her!”
Matkin is surprised it was played at every gig; only other NLOTH song to do that is Crazy Tonight!
Unlike other recent lead singles, I (Ax) don’t see Boots surviving as a regular next tour. #U2360MON
Ax: I fervently hope this show is NOT the end of Zooropa live. Rest of the world needs to hear it next tour. #U2360MON
Beautiful Day is next we hear
RT @neil_mccormick: Bono gives Stay a long improvised ending, sending his wishes out to injured crew member & serenading Ali #U2360
@u2_news We’ve always listed it as Springhill Mining Disaster. Could go as either, like Party Girl vs Trash, Trampoline and the Party Girl
Some songs that are played tonight might never be played again. Which ones will fade into memory? #U2360MON
SpringHill Mining Disaster is snippeted. First performance in any form since 1987. #U2360MON
It’s ISHF. Will my earlier prediction hold up? Will Springhill be a surprise next? #U2360MON
Huuuuuge thanks to @neil_mccormick for keeping us in the loop tonight! #U2360MON
Sounds as if Bono is undergoing his speech for the final time. ISHFWILF or AIWIY? #U2360MON
inalittlewhile @u2gigs very true! an official one would’ve been great but you can’t expect people to be faffing around with phones at their final show.
RT @neil_mccormick: Bono: “18 babies have been born on the 360 tour, 2 inter crew marriages, 8 separations, over 7 million served …”
Let’s not try not to think about the lack of a stream tonight; remember all the other nights we were lucky enough to have one! #U2360MON
Boots is sixth. Will Magnificent make a last-gasp appearance tonight? #U2360MON
I Will Follow is fifth. #U2360MON
Oh, and Until The End Of The World has clocked in at 4th. #u2360mon
@atu2 Neil McCormick tweeted that it was The Fly.
Sick of the spam and suchforth cluttering the #U2360MON feed.
At this stage, there is NO legit stream from Moncton. :( #U2360MON
The Fly is second, followed by Mysterious Ways in third. #U2360MON
People, the u2man_on_air user on 1000mikes is a notorious fake. Ignore his stream. #U2360MON
@smili72 Thank you very much! It’s been two very good years.
@iambradk That guy’s a fake, why would you want that?
Hope it won’t be too hard to find out the set! Our mainpage article for #U2360MON where we’ll post the full set is here: http://u2.gs/end
RT @shawnrouse @u2gigs sorry cell coverage not good
Possible stream RT @shawnrouse I’m broadcasting #u2360mon live on #Ustream. Come watch and chat! http://ustre.am/y33q
Ax: Looks like some people on Twitter jumped the gun, but via @PatrickBrunneti, Space Oddity IS on now. #U2360MON
Even Better Than the Real Thing opens
Here we go for the last time, folks. #U2360MON
SOunds as if Space Oddity is playing. U2360 kicks off for the final time. #U2360MON
@Alisaura “all the Crazies” just sounds like a reference to Interference and queuing insanity. ;)
@DavidKHollis Me too. There were some reasonably decent rumours about a final quick European leg too.
It’s not looking good re: a stream, folks. No word of anything, and U2.com sadly hasn’t come through for the fans. #U2360MON
@ClaytonsKitten I suppose it’s just my single-minded focus on the music/setlists … I know very little about the band themselves.
@ClaytonsKitten I (Ax) actually never knew Adam’s middle name until your tweet just now.
RT @EdgeFest: U2 fans, it is my dream to get #davidhowellevans trending tonight. Please realize it and retweet the heck out of this!!!!
Tweets re: AF’s set seem very, very positive. Sounds like they’re about done now… not long until U2’s last set of the tour. #U2360MON
RT @bijans: A little set-list birdie tells me there will be some surprises tonight at #U2360MON also arcade fire is killing it now!
Wonder if U2 and AF will share the stage at any point today, like they did covering Joy Division at 2005-11-28, Montreal? #U2360MON
For those of you who are Arcade Fire fans as well as U2 fans, @ArcadeFireTube is bringing together some AF content/info from #U2360MON.
Arcade Fire are playing their support set for U2 at #U2360MON now; via @tony_chiappetta, their intro music was Beautiful Day.
rnolan76 Thanks to @u2gigs and to @atu2 for their amazing effort during all the legs. And to @u2com: i want my money back :(
joshkcampbell @u2gigs getting Bad at Chicago in ’09 and at #U2360PIT along with One Tree Hill and Out of Control. And all of the Achtung and Zooropa stuff
anandadaydream @u2gigs Zooropa totally wins it for me. Neeever thought I’d hear that played, & it marks the start of my discovery of live streams. <3
harbinger384 @u2gigs TUF, Zooropa, and Ax will disagree, but Ultraviolet :)
trainmaniac @u2gigs highlights: zooropa and even better than the real thing. And… a boy falls from the sky !
Nicoawake @u2gigs U2’s show in Paris was wonderful ! Especially, they played a fabulous version of Miss Sarajevo. U2 is fantastic ! #U2360
TheAndySpears @u2gigs my highlight: The Wanderer in Nashville. #U2360 #U2360end
trojanchick99 @u2gigs that is tough. AIWIY in Seattle, Bad in Rome and UV in Pasadena
Chris_Real @u2gigs “Shine like stars”, #U2360MTL night 2. Will never ever forget that.
U2sannieGO @u2gigs i’ve got 2 #u2360highlights Zooropa & the ever so tiny snippet of THBAO. i never thought i’d see the day either would be played :)
RT @mchardie: Breaking news: Blue sky emerges over #u2360mon http://yfrog.com/gze06ctj
Sounds like Carney have finished their set. Next up: Arcade Fire. #U2360MON
RT @neil_mccormick: Carney are unexpectedly exciting, with psychedelic heavy blues grooves. Reeve may be a better rock star than a Spider.
RT @Jason_Turner: @zanecarney you guys are good. Much impressed #u2360mon
And if I’m going to name a #U2360 highlight, well it’s got to be the amazing Zooropa. HMTMKMKM a reasonably close second though.
I do have a bit of a Snippetwatch, thanks to @harbinger384: at the East Rutherford show, MWays had a snippet of TTTYAATW. Added to set!
Hi folks, Ax here. Today’s coverage will naturally be both Matkin and I. Can’t believe this day has finally come. #U2360MON
RT @prbiker15: PLEASE - If anyone is streaming tonight’s #U2360MON tour finale, please let us know! Have a great time to all those going!
So, it’s time for our final question of the day. What has been your personal highlight of the U2360 Tour? #U2360MON
Carney is now onstage. Who wants to bet on Rise Above 1 and/or Boy Falls From the Sky appearing (with guests) during their or U2’s set? ;-)
RT @EdgeFest: To people whining about mud in Moncton. I’ll trade ya. Come do my laundry and I’ll go to #U2360MON. Part timers.
RT @Animal_Clans: The sun gets a standing ovation! #U2360MON!
If you missed it: Don’t be sad about the end of the tour. Join our new competition! http://bit.ly/oPuYdg Prize: Being smarter than Ax!
5 minutes until Carney take the stage. Break a leg, boys! #U2360MON
CelticArche @u2gigs Only fandom where you can talk to someone for 45 minutes and sit in a line with them for 12 hours and never know their name!
@ChristyRae75 That makes sense, but how would it apply to Moncton?
What time is it in the world, everyone? @Carneymusic is due on stage in about 20 minutes! #U2360MON
I love the U2 fan community.
RT @neil_mccormick: The Moncton claw, from backstage #U2360 http://lockerz.com/s/125…
@ChristyRae75 How exactly would that work?
MT @natashcha: one would think premium price = premium content. If we want to see change we need to contact principle&livenation going fwd
We’re down to the final hours now. @u2com, @livenation, @u2 - we’d love it if you came through with a stream, even last minute! #U2360MON
MT @JacquesGallant: Spotted a girl in white pants walking in the mud, her legs covered in garbage bags. oh sweety, white, really? #U2360MON
Make no mistake, I still want a stream! And it’s been asked for weeks on @U2.com, Twitter, etc. Lots of demand, not a surprise it’s wanted
Very unlikely we will get a stream now. All others announced far in advance. U2 shouldn’t be surprised by demand; fans begging for weeks now
Currently 5:20 at #U2360MON. Rumour (unconfirmed as is everything) is that @Carneymusic will be onstage within the hour.
RT @JacquesGallant: Gates have been opened for two hours, and already I can’t find my feet under the mud. #U2360MON

RT @TheAndySpears: For me, #U2360MON is taking precedence over manufactured crisis of #debtceiling
MT @EdgeFest: Don’t need to use lyrics to express our disappointment in not having a stream. Just play “SO CRUEL” on repeat indefinitely
The time that U2 steps onstage has not yet been announced. Will probably be 9PM local as usual, but not confirmed. #U2360MON
Somebody needs to do a collection of all the stream lyrics/titles! There have been some really good ones! #U2360MON #U2360CAN #U2360END

jenheartsU2 @u2gigs @u2com still hoping for a feed, but a response either way is far better than the utter silence there’s been so far.
JustASinner @u2gigs @u2com not really surprising from usual U2 management’s behavior…
U2Minnesota Should be tweeting @livenation since they manage the tour.. RT @u2gigs: Lots of diappointment over at @u2com over the lack of response
michielovesU2 @u2gigs - I’m trying to think positive and hope @u2com are just busy making arrangements for the live feed. *fingers crossed*
Lots of diappointment over at @u2com over the lack of a response (re: stream). Many saying that a “no” would be better than nothing at all.
