@markpeterboro @U2ThreeChords you can also try to make a Google Doc of it. Anyone can access easily and you have edit permissions.
@markpeterboro Please do!
@Lunnzies Yeah camera phones and point and shoots are fine; pro cameras (i.e. SLRs) are a no-go.
RT @Dutchelevation: Updated my personal @U2 concert statistics on @U2gigs website: 60 gigs so far & 120 different songs. So cool! http://t.http://www.u2gi…
@joej2012 Agreed. I wish they’d go seamlessly from COBL to the Mother & Child Reunion snippet, and do the speech after Streets.
@markpeterboro Oh wow this is excellent!

But don’t worry, we’ll keep hassling you w/ live sets & stats for rest of North American leg, e.g. Phoenix 1 had 400th performance of BDay.
I (Ax) also want to add my thanks to Stefan & Frank for amazing videos. Can’t wait for the shows they & Matt will film in Europe! #U2ieTour
A big thank you to Stefan & Frank for all the great videos! We’ll be all back for the European shows later this year. Matt
All nine of Stefan and Frank’s videos from Phoenix 2 are here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

@honey_child Who on earth hated HMTMKMKM? That was one of the best songs. So relieved when it replaced UV.
Here’s all four videos from Phoenix 2 collected together (thanks Stefan!), more to come: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

Invisible from the 2nd Phoenix show by Stefan #U2ieTour https://youtu.be/2BzooXE…
@honey_child And I don’t think I was very secretive with my hate of In a Little While on 360!
@honey_child I (Ax) no big fan of Angel of Harlem but in Paris sang it very loudly to get rid of someone hogging my personal space. Worked!
@SirEdwardGrey It was People Have The Power by Patti Smith.
@sb_wreeldeal Beach Sequence is stunning. Would love to hear Beach Sequence/NYD. Also love Slug, One Minute Warning, Always Forever Now.
@jeffsilveira75 Many would disagree with you. U2 have longstanding ties to Ireland’s gay community - Twilight, One, etc.
Angel Of Harlem from the 2nd Phoenix #U2ieTour show. Video by our friend Stefan https://youtu.be/ctQhQ9F…
When Love Comes To Town from Phoenix #2 #U2ieTour https://youtu.be/yMs8Kfr…
@honey_child @sb_wreeldeal You have no idea how much I wanted to hear Your Blue Room. I love almost all of Passengers.
Here’s our updated show write-up and full setlist for Phoenix 2: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
The outro music tonight is Same Love by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, another nod to Ireland’s successful referendum. #U2ieTour #U2
That’s the end. After 25 songs last night, just 23 tonight. Full set here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@honey_child I (Chris) was lucky enough to see Zooropa in Philly on 360. Miss S-Zoo-COBL was the highlight of my night.
OK #U2, time to shock us by following Streets by busting out a full band In God’s Country. You know you want to. #U2ieTour
@iammarsgirl I (Chris) love the new modified chorus! I’m hoping to hear it at least once in NYC.
@honey_child I’m still bummed out they didn’t debut Zooropa until 2011. I would’ve loved to have heard it. Top ten song for me.
@kbdaenlle Nope. No NYD yet.
@iammarsgirl I love Miracle Drug!!! So much so. It’s so beautiful. But COBL is a top-2 U2 song for me.
Tonight is only the second full tour concert COBL has missed since its debut, the other one being Vancouver 2. #U2ieTour #U2
@sb_wreeldeal I actually might be COBL’s biggest fan
@toolz2112 First half was pretty tense but yeah I’m glad to see us pull ahead - especially since my Mum’s a Brisbane fan haha.
Hope everyone is enjoying the gig so far! Nice to see Miracle Drug back, but I hate seeing it replace COBL.
Chris here, very upset I can no longer say I saw the only recorded snippet of One ever!
@toolz2112 Collingwood? Collingwood?! I suppose we all have our shortcomings… ;)
Encore break: chance to play closer attention to Essendon vs Brisbane. Because you all care about my footy team’s fortunes.
End of main set, Bono says the crowd is “extraordinary”. Catch up on set: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@honey_child @sb_wreeldeal I’m stoked I got Stay at Dublin 3 in 2009. Was worried it wouldn’t be done after it missed A’dam and Dublin 1-2.
Please #U2 bring back The Troubles. It was after WOWY on the printed set for San Jose 2. Will it show up there tonight? #U2ieTour
@sb_wreeldeal Haha. Yeah I was worried Stuck would be a regular this tour after its promo appearances. Relieved no sign of it yet.
@sb_wreeldeal @honey_child Yep. Really dragged down the set at Melbourne 2.
He describes people voting yes in Ireland’s referendum as saying “love is the highest law in the land”. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono during Pride: “We have peace in Ireland today! And in fact on this very day we have true equality in Ireland!” #U2ieTour #U2
@honey_child Let’s call it our combined influence! I wish we’d got AIWIY in Melbourne instead of Stuck ugghhh.
@sb_wreeldeal I’ve heard Gloria and Scarlet, but never got anything from Pop live.
@sb_wreeldeal Nice! It always comes back into the set right after I see them.
@sb_wreeldeal Matt’s going to heaps in Europe, Chris is going to a few in NYC, I (Ax) am not going to any yet. Hoping for Aussie leg.
@honey_child Nah, they played it because my 360 run of shows was over, and AIWIY is avoiding me. ;)
As for One Tree Hill and 11 O’clock Tick Tock, they’re personal favourites. I took sign for Womanfish because funny: https://www.youtube.com/…
People think Party Girl has been done every tour since its debut but it missed Popmart. Yet to appear on #U2ieTour too.
I tried Slow Dancing on Vertigo in hope of maintaining its record of only b-side played on every tour since its debut. Didn’t work!
OK, have you taken a sign requesting a song to a #U2 gig? I’ve tried One Tree Hill, 11 O’clock Tick Tock, Slow Dancing, and Womanfish.
@sb_wreeldeal At another show I had a sign for 11 O’clock Tick Tock. Edge smiled but shook his head. Damnit.
@drcfire Edge saw it and smirked.
So that spoiler set is right so far. Angel Of Harlem back after missing the last two shows. #U2ieTour #U2
@drcfire I’d looove even just a snippet, yeah. I once tried to get a Womanfish snippet by taking a sign with some of the lyrics haha.
@Robbie_J Yeah there was Edge’s heartfelt solo version on Popmart.
I can’t say I expected to add “Until The End Of The World / Macbeth Act 5 Scene 1 (snippet)” to a set any time soon! #U2ieTour #U2
And now it’s intermission time with The Wanderer. Catch up on set so far: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@drcfire Love the stream-of-consciousness lyrics over the post-punk intensity of the music. Really underrated.
@iAMFunk21 Haha yeah I guess those weren’t lyrics books then!
WTSHNN He just threw a book into the crowd
Seems people are divided evenly on new SBS, judging by replies. I’m definitely glad they’ve redone it - would’ve been stale otherwise. #U2
@drcfire Glad I’m not the only one to rate Treasure so highly!
@BeeZee05 That would be Wrong For Someone.
So folks, the new SBS: yea or nay? I like they’re trying different things with it, buuuut… not totally sold. #U2ieTour #U2
Any other Aussies trying to follow the Essendon vs Brisbane game as well as this show? Carn the Bombers! (This is awkward multitasking.)
I’d like that Mofo snippet at the start of Iris more often. It was beautiful. (OK, I’d like a full version of Mofo even more!) #U2ieTour #U2
Bono says that Larry reckons he should keep philosophical questions like that to himself. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “Why did Adam Clayton become a bass player? … he’s not really answering me on that question!” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “Last night was great but I think we’re going to transcend that. That’s our job!” #U2ieTour #U2
4. I Will Follow. Think there was a brief snippet at end of Vertigo but I couldn’t catch it. #U2ieTour #U2
We’ve done that before - with the same song! Larry started Gloria at a 1984 show when the rest of the band did OOC: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
OK, that was definitely Larry playing Vertigo’s drum intro a song early at the start of OOC, so I’m putting that in the set as a snippet.
@IgnacioAylwin Yep, slightly longer variation of same story.
Bono’s says his old man told him “why aren’t you doing your schoolwork? You’re out of control!” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono telling the story about how the band had to get money from their parents to tour and get a record deal. #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2comSherry Haha that cracked me up. Didn’t they say they got it from http://U2.com’s discography, which is itself wrong?
Bono says Out Of Control is “our first single, from 1980” Not quite Bono, it was 1979! #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 It was amazing. Another band did Pictures Of You shoegaze-style and it was equally transcendent.
@ryannichols7 Acrobat would sound incredible covered Medicine-style. Now, Shot Forth Self Living, there’s a great fucking album.
Here’s our mainpage article for tonight’s set: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 So if Plainsong can be made to have epic layers, I think ASOH, ISS, etc. could work really well.
@ryannichols7 I went to a great shoegaze festival earlier this month and one band did an incredible cover of The Cure’s Plainsong.
@ryannichols7 Hmm, most shoegaze… I think you could make some amazing ‘gazy covers of UF era songs. But IGC would work!
OK, we are go in Phoenix - intro music is playing. Patti Smith’s People Have The Power again. #U2ieTour #U2
@jay2bell And I’d make enough noise that U2 would think all 20,000 know it.
@Maideneer Make this happen!
If #U2 ever play Love Comes Tumbling my reaction to Electric Co in San Jose will seem calm & measured by comparison. https://twitter.com/Maid…
@atu2comSherry How about both! And some other gems starting with A. An Cat Dubh. Another Time Another Place. A Celebration.
Let’s start putting books with A Sort of Homecoming’s lyrics on the E stage until #U2 finally play it. https://twitter.com/Nate…
@AnalogMeat I honestly think it would’ve already been played in the Sweetest Thing/WLCTT slot had BB’s death not prompted WLCTT’s return.
@AnalogMeat Yeah I’ve been waiting for that to show up after it was rehearsed fairly extensively.
@johnnyo217 I’d love to hear it done with its full JT/Lovetown energy too. Great, quick, punchy track. Surprised it’s been so underplayed.
Here’s a spoiler of part of tonight’s printed setlist. Look at your own risk. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Nate…
@SirEdwardGrey I’m hoping The Troubles returns tonight. Still surprised California wasn’t done in San Jose; surely will in LA.
@jay2bell It hasn’t been performed outside of Spain since 1987.
@jay2bell No, though I expect it will be played in Barcelona on the 2nd leg.
I expect Bono will have something to say about Ireland’s referendum, but will they choose a song in honour of the yes vote? #U2ieTour #U2
If you haven’t seen our videos from Phoenix 1 yet, you may want to get onto that (In God’s Country!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Night 2 in Phoenix tonight. Hope you’re all good and ready. Will there be a tour debut? This is Ax here to take you through. #U2ieTour #U2
@thom2805 No. It used to be, but formally ceased to be a member of the Commonwealth in April 1949.
@misskubelik The problem with that is then we wouldn’t have Periscope feeds or nice videos afterwards!
@johnnyo217 That’s correct; the three Elevation performances were acoustic.
@adammajorcsik I fully expect something from NLOTH during the LA run. Probably Moment of Surrender, given Bono’s recent snippeting of it.
