SHINE. LIKE. STARS. YES. (Chris)
Shine Like Stars was preceded by Bono singing “Maaassachusetts” over Edge’s solo. Now Stephen Hawking video is playing. #U2ieTour #U2
That’s right people, he actually sung a proper second line for Shine Like Stars today, one he sung back in the eighties! #U2ieTour #U2
YEEEAAAHHH WE’LL SHINE LIKE STAAAARS IN THE SUMMER NIGHT WE’LL SHINE LIKE STARS AND IT’LL BE ALRIGHT! #U2ieTour #U2
Alright get out your #signlikestars for Shine Like Stars. #U2ieTour #U2
@highkin @ryannichols7 That would lead to the most conflicted meltdown ever. “HOLY SHIT IT’S STAND UP CO-OOOHHHH GOD NOOOO”
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I choose to forget this.
@KevinMFeeney True - though Pride/Streets on Vertigo probably still tops the list. And they stuck it out THE WHOLE DAMN TOUR.
@KevinMFeeney And we might be about to get another candidate: COBL seguing into Bullet. Seriously, what?
@KevinMFeeney AN ENTIRE TOUR of Bono wearing an ACTUAL SUIT OF LIGHTS without performing Gone.
@KevinMFeeney Now that would make for a very longrunning article series…
Stuck In A Moment, sounding so beautiful on piano. Lovely, just lovely. (Chris)
OK I have no idea what the banter is going on right now but Bono just mentioned Tinder. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney “I don’t understand this band” - a thought I’ve had so many times working on this site.
Bono: “where are you from?” Fan: “I think everyone’s from Boston tonight!” WELL PLAYED. #U2ieTour #U2
MWays has snippet of Sisters Are Doin’ It For Themselves by Eurythmics & Aretha Franklin. #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now.. don’t miss the final Boston show. #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1CIcfb2
@scatterolight Rotating troll intermissions of Acrobat, Heartland, Drowning Man, Red Hill Mining Town…
@KevinMFeeney Hah no kidding.
@Alberto_Fanjon Not live.
scatterolight acrobat as intermission song would be an ideal troll. #u2ietour
11. The second set opens with Invisible, as per usual, after that surprise intermission of The Fly remix. #U2ieTour #U2
jpstarkey The fly remix… Is the fly coming? #u2ietour cc: @u2gigs http://t.co/nicMNejAuO
How awesome would a first set closing duo of UTEOTW and The Fly be? Sounds perfect to me. (Chris)
@atu2 Wrooong night to skip out on the intermission! (I very nearly raced off too.)
It’s intermission time, so check out the full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@Wall82Jonathan I would be a very happy man if some of those were played, especially One Tree Hill as a setlist fixture.
RAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISED BYYY WOLLLVES!!! Is it Saturday yet?! (Chris)
@donwarwick48009 But what I wouldn’t give for a setlist heavy on their best eighties material…
@donwarwick48009 Probably not for a while, since the new stuff is generally getting better crowd response than NLOTH did in 2009.
@IM7507 My parents moved down there recently for some reason. I don’t know how you guys handle the heat.
I (Ax) have had my attention drawn to my shocking counting today: Gloria had missed FIVE shows before today’s performance. #U2ieTour #U2
@Robbie_J …bloody hell I REALLY can’t count today.
Bono is crazy for just laughing off the heat. It’s been so obscenely hot and humid here in the Northeast this week! (Chris)
@sb_wreeldeal My baseball team is fighting for a playoff spot and I’m already missing my game for NYC 5. Don’t know if I want to miss twice!
@EveryBrokenWave Now there’s a good motivation!
He blames rain for the melancholy in #U2’s early songs, and now talking about Dublin in 70s and Dublin today being very different. #U2ieTour
Bono: “we joined a band to get out of the rain. Lot of rain in Dublin in the seventies.” #U2ieTour #U2
Bono thanks Boston for the loan of their city: “guess we’ll have to give it back to you at some point”. #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave …I really need to hurry up and keep that promise.
#U2 have played I Will Follow over 850x live. Missing sets mean it prob played another 130-160 times so it has likely passed 1,000 plays.
@sb_wreeldeal I’m hoping to score a pair of GAs for the 2nd show, depending on my baseball schedule that day.
Next time U2 play The Miracle, Vertigo and I Will Follow, yours truly will be in attendance. Been waiting years for this. So pumped! (Chris)
@U2sJerseygirl Lived in and around the city my entire life.
@U2sJerseygirl 1, 5 and 8!
@BrewCuse I (Ax) keep wondering this too…
Man, I (Chris) would LOVE to see Gloria at one of my NYC shows. I may love the 2000s, but I do love me some early 80s tunes.
Sorry, Gloria’s back after missing 3 shows not 4. Said yesterday I promise I can count, but not sure I’m keeping that promise. #U2ieTour #U2
@PascalGteD It was soundchecked before two of the Chicago shows.
And I fully anticipate the second song will be Gloria. We will know the answer to that very soon! #U2ieTour #U2
I (Ax) would like Chris’s picks to be right, but if we get a new War song tonight I bet it’ll be NYD not Two Hearts. #U2ieTour #U2
Here’s our mainpage article where we will have the full Boston 4 setlist in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 I’d be down with that. Would be one of the best sets of tour if it happened.
Hi all (and Ax), Chris here. Official bold prediction: We get The Fly AND Two Hearts Beat As One tonight!
People Have The Power is playing in Boston. Here are two Mixlr audio feeds: http://mixlr.com/u2isabl… and http://mixlr.com/diana-p… #U2ieTour #U2
@stnorth Kite on Vertigo was only done at the 7 Aussie shows and one in New Zealand. Had didgeridoo & and an extended outro. Was great.
@RsTner @jeffersonwaful @U2 We will be, as usual.
Let’s hope Dallas isn’t kidding. Could today’s soundcheck (see earlier tweet) be a harbinger? #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/jeff…
Hi folks, Ax here to take you through Boston 4. If you missed it yesterday, there are Aussie #U2ieTour rumours: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@stnorth Let’s not forget the excellent version of Kite done late on the Vertigo Tour! Deserves to be done again.
Soundcheck news, pre-Boston 4: @atu2comSherry and @timneufeld report THE FLY! Which segued into Invisible. #U2ieTour #U2
Perhaps the campaign for Shine Like Stars needs a name. #signlikestars gets my vote.
@Drea104 We’ll sign like stars in the Toronto night, we’ll sign like stars in the Boston night…
Everybody going to Boston 4 should join in on this. (And, while you’re at it, my campaign for A Sort Of Homecoming.) https://twitter.com/TyTy…
Here’s our report on rumours of an Australian #U2 tour in March 2016: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
Here’s a rumour for those of us in Australia. No mention of specific cities or New Zealand yet. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/u2fa…
@markpeterboro Yeah that could work too. I had the thought mainly because I wondered how Lovetown would go, if you ever wanted to make that.
@markpeterboro What about doing songs alphabetically? Loses direct comparison of rotations but may be needed for tours w/ big order changes?
@DavidDoran73 @WTSHNN There are of course many who still think it incredible. The new stuff getting great comments, better than NLOTH did.
Er, that printed setlist tweet of a few minutes ago should’ve said “Boston 3”, of course. I can count, I promise.
Video of Crystal Ballroom at Boston 3, its 2nd performance ever. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/ckre…
People were wondering if AIWIY was on Boston 2 printed set or added. It was there. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/ryan…
@WTSHNN “Wasn’t impressed with WTSHNN” - the song or your Twitter account? ;)
@DavidDoran73 @WTSHNN I’ve seen a surprising number of comments this tour that Streets is not the highlight it normally is.
@EveryBrokenWave By “social life” I meant “pubs and gigs”. Not much more to it than that.
@EveryBrokenWave …oh shit, I just did the conversion and 8pm on the continent is 4am in Australia for the September shows!
@EveryBrokenWave Actually that was pretty rough. Plus I didn’t have the work commitments and social life that I have now!
@markpeterboro Ah I see you’ve moved the order around already. I wonder if they’ll stick with this new order…
markpeterboro U2 Setlist after Boston night 3 (27 gigs) chart shows the ‘new song order’ #setlistgeek #U2ieTour #U2 @u2gigs http://t.co/mXoQacm7gx
@EveryBrokenWave I fear a lot of incredibly early mornings are in store for me… I think European shows will begin around 5am Aussie time.
@EveryBrokenWave He’ll be too busy being AT the shows and filming!
I (Ax) just updated our mainpage article on Boston 3 with a few more stats/comments: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@EveryBrokenWave That’s an “Ax hasn’t been around much the last 24 hours”. ;) If you’re free, esp the European leg… hinthint…
Ax here. Glad Crystal B’room & AIWIY were in set. Can I take credit for #U2 opening encore w/ BDay? Called for that yesterday. ;) #U2ieTour
Full wrap up of tonight’s setlist. (The Crystal Ballroom/Miss You medley!) http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
People Have The Power snippet ends Still Haven’t Found and Boston 3. #U2ieTour
24th is I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For #U2ieTour
California snippet in Streets
23. Mother And Child Reunion leads into Streets. #U2ieTour
A fan with an Ultraviolet sign in the crowd inspired the Ultraviolet snippet
I Remember You snippet now over the outro of BD
ULTRAVIOLET SNIPPET!!!!!
Does the encore open with Beautiful Day? Has to, right? #U2ieTour
That’s the end of the main set. Here’s what’s been played so far. http://www.u2gigs.com/ #U2ieTour
@BrewCuse I couldn’t really tell, to be honest. I’ll have to listen back
Bono is singing the first verse of Bullet into the megaphone
20th is Bullet The Blue Sky #U2ieTour
19th is City Of Blinding Lights #U2ieTour
Stephen Hawking video time. Sounds like City Of Blinding Lights is coming #U2ieTour
No Shine Like Stars :(
Love Every Breaking Wave and With Or Without You together. It should have been like this from night one.
CHANGEUP! 18th is With Or Without You! Not Bullet #U2ieTour
17th is Every Breaking Wave #U2ieTour
