July 3rd, 2015

@AreBeePea Overall for whole tour it’s 6-6. If you count 11OTT/Ocean from Roxy, it’s 8-6 to BOctoWar era.

We’ve posted a fine photo set from the last U2 Chicago show by Jason Brichttp://u2.gs/qgj5 #U2ieTour http://t.co/fUmrxCjOA9

 via Tweetbot for Mac

@AreBeePea Neither were played today, which is what Chris was referring to with his 4-3 stat.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AreBeePea

I (Ax) need to do this: #putoutyourscarf #RIPphilwalsh #PutYourScarvesOut Beautiful display by Hawks & Pies tonight. http://t.co/8WbibwLOAz

 via Twitter Web Client

@alexwatlington My feeling is an order like Bullet/Troubles-or-RTSS/WOWY/BD/Pride would work even better.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to alexwatlington

@AreBeePea No. BOctoWar was represented by I Will Follow, Gloria, SBS, and 40.

U2 applauds Chicago. Photo by Jason Brice @TrailerTrsh #U2ieTOUR http://t.co/Vb6AZfBRtg

 via Tweetbot for iΟS

@alexwatlington But agree w/ this. Keep Mother & Child Reunion if they must but go seamless from prev song, no speech, no yelling over intro

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to alexwatlington

@alexwatlington Don’t think there needs to be a transition into Pride. It’d work better elsewhere in set. Follow Bullet w/ Troubles or RTSS.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to alexwatlington

@EvergreenBeer Yes, well spotted! Added to the set. :)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to EvergreenBeer

@alexwatlington Pride itself sounds ok this tour, but the Hands snippet is clunky and the transition to Pride poor.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to alexwatlington

Also in 2015, Boy-October-War songs outnumbered ATYCLB-HTDAAB-NLOTH songs 4-3. Isn’t that something? #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Before I (Chris) head out, I just wanted to point out that it’s 2015 and there were as many October songs in the set as ATYCLB songs tonight

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@Drea104 Yep, I (Ax) was also lucky enough to get 40 at my first show. Though at my second I got Bad/40, which was even better.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Drea104

And that’s the show. What a great final night in Chicago. Full setlist: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Crowd still singing “How long to sing this song?” incredibly loud. What a feeling that must be. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

40 closing out Chicago gives me hope I’ll see 40 close the final New York show. Would be incredible to see in person.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

WTSHNN Someone threw a Blackhawks PATRICK Kane jersey on stage thus the “Adam raised a Cain” snippet. #u2ieTour

 via Cloudhopper (retweeted on 5:48 AM, Jul 3rd, 2015  via Twitter Web Client)

24th is 40! Great way to end the five show stay in Chicago. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

For what it’s worth, Bono mangled the first line of Streets, saying “I want to feel” before struggling to correct himself.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

California snippet in Streets, on the heels of its first full performance in over a month earlier tonight. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono’s dedicated the Mother And Child Reunion snippet to Mario Batali for his contributions to Red. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Mother And Child Reunion (and a shout out to celebrity chef Mario Batali)leads into Streets, the 23rd song of the night #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

22nd is City Of Blinding Lights, opening the encore #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

And that’s the end of the main set. Catch up on what was played right here http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

“Don’t forget about us now, how could we forget you?” yells Bono as he forgets to sing Shine Like Stars yet again… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono sounding great during With Or Without You tonight. No more 360 speak singing.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

21st is With Or Without You #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Multiple verses of Moment Of Surrender tonight

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Moment Of Surrender snippet

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@JeffReinhart77 Yeah I (Ax) fully expect the Hands/Pride bit to be changed for the 2nd leg. I hope it is. It’s awkward.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to JeffReinhart77

This means that Chicago is the first city on the #U2ieTour to get Bad twice. #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bad returns after missing two shows. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Ax: great timing - I had to duck out for a while, but the second I come back I hear the opening notes of Bad. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

My Kind Of Town snippet at the end of Beautiful Day

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@JeffReinhart77 I could see it being swapped out maybe, yeah.

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to JeffReinhart77

19th is Beautiful Day (!!!) #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@Alberto_Fanjon Yup, 7 times actually. Most notably at the dedication of the Clinton Presidential Library.

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to Alberto_Fanjon

Bono asks the crowd to sing for the people working for peace in Baltimore, Chicago and Charleston. “Send a message of love” #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

I’d love for even just one full performance of The Hands That Built America. Even just one. (Chris)

 via U2gigs (Chris)

18th is Pride, preceded by The Hands That Built America snippet. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

No snippet of 19 tonight. Was done at the last two shows.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Bono Bullet rant time

 via U2gigs (Chris)

17th is Bullet The Blue Sky #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

16th is Every Breaking Wave. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

July 18th is the first New York show and Nelson Mandela’s birthday. Ordinary Love should be a safe bet. I (Chris) can’t wait to see OL!

 via U2gigs (Chris)

15th is Ordinary Love. My Two Hearts Beat As One prediction is painfully incorrect. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

There is no end to love, people!

 via U2gigs (Chris)

I (Chris) love this song way more than I should. I could belt out California all day and night.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Only the third performance of California this tour. First time since May 28th in LA.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

14th is California! #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Bono pulling a girl from Mississippi, hundreds of miles from Chicago, onto the stage to Meerkat. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Young Americans snippet in Mysterious Ways

 via U2gigs (Chris)

13th is Mysterious Ways #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

12th is Even Better Than The Real Thing #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@ryannichols7 Edge’s backing vocals drive me NUTS, but yes I love that version. I’d take a Bono/Edge acoustic performance if anything.

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to ryannichols7

11th is Invisible, opening the second set. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Love, love, love The Wanderer. Nearly had a heart attack when Bono sang some of it in Nashville on 360. Play it, boys! (Chris)

 via U2gigs (Chris)

The Wanderer video leads us into the intermission. Catch up on what’s been played here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Couldn’t make out what Bono mumbled there before the la la la’s. Anyone catch it?

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@MarkCDarwin Yeah I’m surprised by how stable the sets have been. Nights 3+ in the past have usually seen order shaken up more.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to MarkCDarwin

Love And Peace Or Else snippet in UTEOTW

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@NateIngraham One of the best songs I’ve ever seen live!

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to NateIngraham

“Comfort me, comfort me, COMFORT ME, COMFORT MEEEEEEE” leads into Until The End Of The World, the 10th song of the show. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Psalm 23 snippet

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@NateIngraham Totally. Fantastic way to start a main set or an encore. Worked very well with Zooropa midset on 360 too

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to NateIngraham

RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISED BYYYYY WOLLLLVES. So intense. Is it July 18th yet?

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@alexwatlington I’m really surprised it only ever opened one show, and that NLOTH didn’t open any. Both would’ve done better than Breathe.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to alexwatlington

9th is Raised By Wolves #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Can’t believe the news today. I (Ax) want to take this moment to say #RIPphilwalsh. What a tragedy.

 via Twitter Web Client

When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet in Sunday Bloody Sunday

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@sb_wreeldeal Praying for Stuck In A Moment and Elevation at one of my shows!

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to sb_wreeldeal

Always thought Cedarwood Road should lead into SBS. A song about Bono’s wife is odd going into a song about the killing of unarmed citizens

 via U2gigs (Chris)

8th is Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

7th is the beautiful Song For Someone #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

I (Ax) think all-time best #U2 openers were in the 80s: Hawkmoon, Streets, and 11 O’clock Tick Tock.

 via Twitter Web Client

Re: openers, I (Ax) think Mofo #U2’s best post-80s opener. COBL & Zoo Station also excellent choices. Breathe only one I outright disliked.

 via Twitter Web Client

Am I the only one who thinks the intro riff of Cedarwood Road sounds a bit weak without the backing guitar underneath? Still love it though

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@jackmhicken It was only done twice back in May. I’m surprised it hasn’t been done since.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to jackmhicken

@PatWashington Hahaha I (Ax) hear it the exact same way.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to PatWashington

6th is Cedarwood Road, after a decent sounding “Free yourself to be yourself” Iris singalong. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

I’m gonna cry like a baby during Iris in New York, I can already tell. (Chris) #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Agreed. RT @gilson_jr_: @u2gigs think Zoo is the most loved because of the concert opening act as a whole, not just the song itself

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@rossgperry I (Chris) am not the biggest fan of the song. Good opener though.

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to rossgperry

No Mofo intro :(

 via U2gigs (Chris)

@sb_wreeldeal Yeah, large shitty sprawling city in southeast Queensland near Brisbane. Moved away soon as I could.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

5th is Iris (Hold Me Close) #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

“It’s been an incredible 10 days, thank you for taking us in. And I’m sorry if we made a mess of your town”- Bono on Chicago #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Never seen a tour other than 360, but City of Blinding Lights might be my favorite opener ahead of Zoo, Streets, EBTTRT, OOC and Elevation.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Little snippet of Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen in middle of Vertigo. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Interesting that a bunch of you really dislike The Miracle as an opener. Just a question, how many of you have seen it live yet?

 via U2gigs (Chris)

3. Vertigo, with a snippet of Do You Remember Rock ‘n’ Roll Radio? to start #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Snippet of Van Morrison’s Gloria at the end of the song.

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Bono introduces the band just before Edge’s kickass riff leading into the final chorus. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Gloria always takes me (Ax) back to when I was a teenager on the Gold Coast, listening to the October album in my room on lazy weekends. #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Gloria returns to the setlist after missing one show. Second performance in ten years! #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Ax: HOLY SHIT IT’S GLORIA AGAIN!!! #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Where does everyone rank The Miracle in terms of U2 tour openers? Not the best, in my top 5 or 6. (Chris) #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Follow along with tonight’s #U2ieTour setlist right here! http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…

 via U2gigs (Chris)

The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone) opens Chicago 5. No surprise tonight in that regard. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

People Have The Power playing over the PA. Almost showtime! #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Hi all, Ax here; I’ll pop in and out while Chris reports. Predictions: OOControl, WLCTT, Stuck, Troubles, One or 40 close. Prob One; hope 40

 via Twitter Web Client

Still looking for a mixlr stream, hopefully we get one in time for the show. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

WTSHNN So tonight is my 20th time seeing @u2 in Chicago. 17th time in the United Center. Love my hometown. Love how U2 loves this city. #u2ieTour

 via Twitter for Android (retweeted on 2:50 AM, Jul 3rd, 2015  via U2gigs (Chris))

@Alberto_Fanjon I’ll say in full. Why not? Would love to see Moment of Surrender come back in full too.

 via U2gigs (Chris) in reply to Alberto_Fanjon

Haven’t seen anything about a soundcheck today, though. Don’t know yet if U2 did one. Can anyone at the venue confirm? #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Prediction time: Two Hearts Beat As One, Volcano, Bad and 40. I’ll probably be way off, but we’ll see. #U2ieTour

 via U2gigs (Chris)

Hi all, Chris here. I’ll be taking you through tonight’s Chicago 5 proceedings, as Ax is tied up with other things. Who’s excited? #U2ieTour
