cockroachBLUE Let’s get “A Sort of Homecoming” played during @U2 residency @TheGarden next week.
Bring your request signs and retweet #asignofhomecoming
An example for all of us! Prepare #asignofhomecoming for A Sort Of Homecoming, folks. The #U2ieTour deserves it. #U2 https://twitter.com/Tyle…
@TheeEdge The band before have told fans no. Plus the fact it hasn’t been done to date indicates it’s highly improbable.
@U2Snippets @atu2 That would need to be entered beside almost every song!
@adammajorcsik Done - hadn’t actually checked to see if he’d done that during prev performances this tour.
A Sort Of Homecoming came 2nd in #U2Request & we know Acrobat at #1 won’t be happening. #asignofhomecoming surely worth a shot #U2ieTour #U2
Now time for signs for A Sort of Homecoming. #asignofhomecoming & talk to band & know it on guitar. Let’s make it happen folks #U2ieTour #U2
So #signlikestars has been working for Shine Like Stars - fans have brought signs and spoken to the band and Bono sang it. #U2ieTour #U2
@TyTy1124 @U2 A+ for the success of your #signlikestars! Let’s hope Shine Like Stars sticks around for the rest of the tour.
Only two cities on the #U2ieTour have got 24+ songs every night: Vancouver (2 shows) and Boston (4 shows). #U2
@markpeterboro @iluEdge Yeah that one was much shorter so we’ve kept it as a snippet.
RT @U2: Thank you Boston #U2ieTour https://instagram.com/p/…
Here’s the full setlist and write-up for Boston 4: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

@celtic11111 There is a rumour, albeit unconfirmed, that it was rehearsed briefly in May.
@U2start How about Three Sunrises/Two Hearts/One Tree Hill/One/40… and maybe a sneaky Vertigo too.
@stubby70 Haha yeah I need the counting lesson judging by today’s effort…
@jdiamjr But of course!
U2Community “4 nights… should have been 14” says the singer to Boston. We shone like stars & are closing with 40.. Very special night.. #U2ieTour
One and 40 should be preceded by Two Hearts to get the numbered songs together. A new encore theme: NUMERACY! #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney Whole show over PA. We’re already a couple of songs there…
Snippet of Invisible at the end of One. Possibly the most Bono’s sung during this performance! #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney I get the feeling he could walk out during these performances of One to beat the traffic and noone’d notice.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney We need Bono to decide he has to have a mid-show rest but for Edge to perform. VDL/Numb rotation.
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Actually, in a rare apt moment, VDL made its live debut in Melbourne, the closest U2 have got to Tasmania.
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Confirmed: Van Diemen’s Land to be played at all Canadian shows.
@KevinMFeeney I’m worried that him shouting “AUSTRALIA! STRAYA! STRAAAYYYAAAA!!!” over Streets would go down all too well here.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney Or, well, NYC, but you get my point.
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney It’s like how Angel Of Harlem on many tours seemed to be played anywhere but Harlem…
@KevinMFeeney @ryannichols7 Totally with you on that bitterness. Wish I could’ve got it in Europe 2009 or Australia 2010. Sigh.
@LoRoxPhotog Nope, not yet this tour.
@KevinMFeeney Everybody yells back convict jokes.
Bono sung Happy Birthday over BDay’s outro to a young fan with a sign. Brought her on stage. She’s 13. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney OH GOD. We’ve already had Young Australians…
@ryannichols7 @KevinMFeeney I am trying really hard to not laugh here in my office, which is just making me want to laugh more.
@KevinMFeeney “Nice to be here in cloudy, rainy London!” *California opens show*
@KevinMFeeney In fact they do Hands/Pride through Europe, Australia, Asia, Africa, 1st visit to Antarctica, etc, then drop it for 2nd US leg
@KevinMFeeney This has been a nagging worry at the back of my mind…
Beautiful to hear Bono really embracing and celebrating the #BostonStrong mentality those great folks have up in Beantown. Wonderful (Chris)
Bono bids the crowd goodnight and that’s the end of the main set, view whole thing here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney With new speech in Pride: “Nobody won in Greece, that’s why everybody lost in Greece!”
@KevinMFeeney Bullet / One Step Closer to Grexit / Pride
“No bomb that can break you”- Bono, in reference to the Boston Marathon bombing of 2013. Tremendous rant about the attack tonight.
Bono is giving a speech during Pride about the Boston bombings, as with prev 3 shows but very passionate tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
@nickcicale I miss when he absolutely tore it up on ZooTV. Best Bullet solo ever.
@KevinMFeeney Fingers crossed it vanishes on the 2nd leg.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Ahahaha yeah check out all these copies of Songs Of Ascent I have.
@carynrose I think he was just yelling it randomly.
Bono’s using the megaphone during Bullet’s first verse again.
EBW-Bullet don’t share much in the way of a theme, and the “jarring” transition almost felt forced. EBW-WOWY-COBL gets a thumbs up! (Chris)
For what it’s worth, I (Chris) think the EBW-WOWY-Hawking-COBL transition is better than EBW-Bullet. Flows much nicer for a few reasons
