@atu2 Psst… you’re a song behind in your count since you called both October and EBW as 16th. ;)
Today’s show is the 1st time there have been 2 songs from October in the same setlist since 1989-11-11: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 Edge could do piano intro of NYD on E stage, walk back to main stage while playing guitar, do piano solo on main stage?
These are the two heroes Bono referenced to introduce October. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/atu2…
Bono’s speechifying about friendship. “I was about to mention a very pretentious thing - I can’t even spell Friedrich Nietzsche!” #U2ieTour
@Tvbona Every tour since 1992 has had two North American legs, so it’s most likely!
14. Bono: “this is a song we don’t play very often”. It’s Volcano, 6th performance of #U2ieTour, back after missing 1 show. #U2
Bono has a fan on stage, Diana from Brooklyn, during MWays. “You are gorgeous!” he says. #U2ieTour #U2
@Tvbona Yeah they worked on acoustic version in Vancouver in May, and electric version at Toronto soundcheck earlier this month.
@Tvbona Both! It’s a (slight) remix of a cover Gavin did a few years ago.
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now live and back in NYC #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1CQPtxJ
@MarkCDarwin We debated that back when he 1st did it & settled on LAPOE so I’m sticking with it. But not sure he’s actually citing anything!

Incidentally, #U2 DID rehearse The Fly themselves, live, in Toronto. 360 style but with only one guitar. #U2ieTour
It’s intermission time with Gavin Friday’s take on The Fly. Catch up on the full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
There you go folks, Chris Martin definitely there tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Kevi…
UTEOTW has the Love & Peace Or Else snippet that I’m honestly not keen on including… but it’s there and we’re completists. #U2ieTour #U2
10. Until The End Of The World. There was the usual Psalm 23 snippet at the end of Raised By Wolves. #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Stay Tuned… #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1CQM2Hl
@mysteriousdays It’s amazing! I remember when we were grateful just for someone to text all the songs during the show.
@ryannichols7 Stuck in a spoiler you can’t get out of
ryannichols7 (unfortunate) spoiler for the e-stage set @u2gigs #U2ieTour http://t.co/qM4XXpIY10
Bono gives a shoutout to Gavin Friday, who’s there tonight. Reports say Chris Martin of Coldplay is too. #U2ieTour #U2
6. Cedarwood Road - “if you don’t visit it [the past] at all, you’re condemned to stay there” #U2ieTour #U2
@mysteriousdays The earliest live streams on Vertigo were v. improvised affairs that only 50-60 people could listen to before they crashed!
@mysteriousdays We did the first live streams on 3rd leg of Vertigo, then 360 there were streams for some but not all shows.
@RaulCamarena This is only one working now and it doesn’t sound great: http://mixlr.com/allison…
@atu2 I remember 2005-09-20, Walk On’s tour debut, gorman on Interference uploaded a clip before end of show. WE ALL FLIPPED.
Plus, low quality streams remind me of the days in late 2005 when we had our first ever live streams. They sounded underwater!
Co-signed. Even when the quality’s low, I’m grateful to be able to hear anything. https://twitter.com/U2Ba…
@atu2 Even with low quality Mixlrs, my ears are attuned to picking the regular snippets. ;) Now, an unfamiliar snip would’ve stumped me!
Sillywhite Namecheck from Bono at the end of Gloria !
BOOOOOOOOM !
@harbinger384 That’s correct. Vertigo and 360 had 1 each: Gloria in ’05 and Scarlet in ’10-11.
@duuuaaaane @atu2 I would absolutely flip if they did Rejoice. Love that song. Lucifer’s Hands’ lyrics allude to it…
Mixlrs for tonight, though dropping in and out right now: http://mixlr.com/u2br/ and http://mixlr.com/allison… #U2ieTour #U2
Clarification on that retweet of a couple of minutes ago. https://twitter.com/cqle…
Here’s our article that will have the full NYC2 set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
So apparently The Troubles is on printed set! It was last played over a month ago in Montreal on 16/06 #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/febo…
People Have The Power has just begun at Madison Square Garden. #U2 on stage in a few minutes! #U2ieTour
@StartAtlnfinity Thank you, we try our best!
@EveryBrokenWave The lazy bastard who owes you an email!
@Rlabs19 They might be, but no soundcheck reports today that I’ve seen.
@ac_83 I think it’s quite nice and fresh myself! (But did get a massive hot choc before getting into work…)
Ax here with you for NYC2. Will October stay in the set tonight? Will it become a regular? Will another song surprise us all? #U2ieTour #U2
For all you first time #U2ieTour attendees going to the show tonight, buckle up. It’s one hell of a ride! (Chris)
@sb_wreeldeal It’s great seeing fans like us singing along with Bono’s snippets. Lots of GA fans sang Clowns, When Johnny Comes, etc.
@spenceast Send a DM. I’ll try to answer.
popartist61 Today’s colors. #U2ieTour #U2MSG http://t.co/W1cACsZmt3
@sb_wreeldeal Almost everyone in my part of GA just looked at each other with wide eyes and went “What?!” Great moment. We all belted it out
@Drea104 Rail in front of Edge
RT @RollingStone: Watch U2 perform “October” for the first time in 25 years http://rol.st/1IbWNX5
@MarkCDarwin They tried a few different combos with MLK that leg of the tour, the oddest being MLK/11OTT on 1987-12-12.
@JackRyder120 I’d love a remastered Rattle & Hum to come with an official Lovetown DVD…
@MarkCDarwin Oh well spotted, I forgot about that show!
@U2History wish it had!
@U2Kite38 they have sound checked NLOTH’s title track and the MOS snippet keeps getting longer so it seems the album remains on their minds.
@JackRyder120 I (Ax) agree entirely. Some of my collaborators here at U2gigs would disagree! (But they’re wrong)
@U2Kite38 Yep, NLOTH has already been given the shaft. I’m sure at least one song will appear at some point this tour though.
@StartAtlnfinity The only Pop performances since 2001: Discotheque x2 in 2005, and SATS at an off-tour gig in late 2011.
@StartAtlnfinity Discotheque and Please (and Mofo) were snippeted, but no Pop songs were actually performed.
@Jarrardo_ I think UV’s resurrection was very much a 360 Tour thing. But I won’t be shocked if Stay is played at some point. Bono loves it.
@SquireenDanaher Snippet of Moment of Surrender. That’s all.
Last two tours, songs from October: 3. Passengers: 2. Zooropa: 2. But poor old Pop? Zero, none, nothing. #U2ieTour #U2
Ax here; I’ve updated our NYC1 article with more facts about today’s performance of October(!!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
markpeterboro U2 Setlists after New York night 1 (29 gigs) #U2ieTour #setlistgeek @u2gigs #u2 http://t.co/Jhuwe6VEQp
@sb_wreeldeal I was STUNNED. Floored! Where the hell did it come from?!
Time to head home to Queens. What a day. What a night. What a show. No one does it like U2 or New York. #U2ieTour
I’m dehydrated and in a ton of back pain, but being on the rail in front of The Edge is worth it. Unreal show. #U2ieTour
Chris here. Best concert of my life. Crowd was so into the show. AND OCTOBER!! OCTOBER! WHAT?! #U2ieTour
A brief write-up for Ax, Chris or someone else to clean up later: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #u2ietour #u2
And they’re taking their bows, so I believe my work here is done.
24. One #u2ietour
Which is not to suggest it’s been snippeted, because it’s never been snippeted.
@Rusty_Olson It’s not been played in full since Lovetown, but I thought the same as well.
23. Mother & Child Reunion (snippet) / Where The Streets Have No Name #U2ieTour
I Remember You snippet during Beautiful Day tonight. #u2ietour
(2/2) That places it between Scarlet (not played for 10675 days) and Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home) (not played for 8762 days) #u2ietour
Again, I’m not Axver, but I believe October now takes 3rd for longest span between plays with 9380.55 days between performances. #u2ietour
22. Beautiful Day #u2ietour
@Timothij Thank you!
Was that a snippet of something at the end of Pride, or just more Bono rambling? #u2ietour
21. The Hands That Built America (Snippet) / Pride (In the Name of Love)
20. Bullet the Blue Sky #u2ietour
From what I can tell, you have to go back to 1982 to find a show where they didn’t get played together. @ryannichols7
19. City of Blinding Lights #u2ietour
Shine Like Stars <3 #u2ietour
