@markpeterboro Oh no! I was just wondering where today’s table was. Hope the laptop situation doesn’t prove too dire.

U2’s Bad from last nights New York show https://youtu.be/NtZbL93… #U2ieTour (via @gregfeingold)

 via U2gigs (Matt)

@Coldplayer4life @atu2 You won’t have to wait long for bootlegs of the show to appear on @U2start and @u2torrents

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Coldplayer4life

#U2 have done 4 songs from Rattle & Hum this tour (equal third for most songs from an album on #U2ieTour). None of them played in NYC yet!

 via Twitter Web Client

@sarahgleim Yes, it was second song of the encore tonight. It’s been done at 11 of the 30 shows played so far this tour.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sarahgleim

@thombullock That at least drew on ZooTV tradition of Bono holding long note into Bullet, it just wasn’t that great. COBL/Bullet feels weird

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to thombullock

maxtsukino and thanks to every one of the periscope/meerkat streamers… to bring us the #U2ieTour is a huge effort from your part. THANKS!!!

 via Janetter (retweeted on 4:56 AM, Jul 20th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client)

I hope Gloria, since it missed out back in 2005. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Ever…

 via Twitter Web Client

That’s the end of the show. Full NYC2 setlist and info right here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono alternates between singing it as “people have the power” and “people got the power”. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Snippet of People Have The Power at the end of Still Haven’t Found. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@ryannichols7 I’d ditch basically any regular if it meant making Bad a nightly feature.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

25. I Still Haven’t Found, back after missing two shows and probably last song of the night. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Streets has snippet of California like normal. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

24. Mother And Child Reunion snippet builds into Where The Streets Have No Name #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@u2girl1966 I don’t know how I remember half this stuff… suggests I’ve spent too much time in the depths of our archive!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2girl1966

Bono is speechifying now, talking about how the UN has said we are winning the war against AIDS. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

I wish Bad had segued seamlessly into Streets. That was a highlight of #U2’s career back when they did it in 2001. #U2ieTour

 via Twitter Web Client

Bad ends with another Moment Of Surrender snippet, this time a very short one. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Nice lyrical change there in Bad’s 2nd verse: “into the sunlight, never to return again”. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

No matter how many times I hear it, Bad makes me feel things no other song does. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

This is the first time Bad has been in the encore since the 2nd show of tour, Vancouver 2015-05-15. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono has kept singing Moment Of Surrender over the transition into Bad. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Beautiful Day ends with snippet of Moment Of Surrender. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

22. Encore begins with Beautiful Day #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

That’s the end of the main set. During the encore break, catch up on what the band have played: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono: “sing for Dr Martin Luther King - and for new voices in our neighbourhoods today” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono urges crowd to sing global message of peace: “some conflict that seems like it has no end - sing yourself there”. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

21. Hands That Built America snippet leads into Pride. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@AdrienneQW I don’t like how he’s kept using the megaphone over the intro of Pride, but I think it fits well with Bullet’s sound.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AdrienneQW

@ryannichols7 Cheers, I like to add the soundcheck info to the database even if I’m not sure many people notice the soundcheck field!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

Sounded like Bono might’ve snippeted something before Bullet’s first solo but I couldn’t make it out. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@ryannichols7 Oh was it? I missed soundcheck reports.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

I love Bono using the megaphone for Bullet’s first verse though. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

20. Bullet The Blue Sky. I still think that COBL/Bullet segue is really, really clumsy. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@ryannichols7 It’s been done during first two shows in every city except poor old Denver… but I expected it before WOWY if done tonight.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

@atu2 In my mind it’s best when used as an intro. October/NYD was classic, but October/Tomorrow from early ’83 even better. Simply magical.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

@bono_212 @ryannichols7 @U2 No matter what you say Ashley, I can’t wait for that contrived Hands snippet to end!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to bono_212

19. City Of Blinding Lights. Bono introduces it, then says “but first…” and Stephen Hawking video starts playing. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

There have been no snippets yet since the intermission. No Shine Like Stars in WOWY either. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2 Psst… you’re a song behind in your count since you called both October and EBW as 16th. ;)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

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

 via Twitter Web Client

@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?

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

These are the two heroes Bono referenced to introduce October. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/atu2…

 via Twitter Web Client

16. OCTOBER! 2nd performance since 1989. “This is for two heroes of ours.” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Fingers crossed October stays in the set… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

So far this is the same set as Boston 4. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

15. Stuck In A Moment, back after missing one show. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono’s speechifying about friendship. “I was about to mention a very pretentious thing - I can’t even spell Friedrich Nietzsche!” #U2ieTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@Tvbona Every tour since 1992 has had two North American legs, so it’s most likely!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Tvbona

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

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono introduces band. “Adam Clayton, what a stylish man you are this evening!” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono has a fan on stage, Diana from Brooklyn, during MWays. “You are gorgeous!” he says. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@Tvbona Yeah they worked on acoustic version in Vancouver in May, and electric version at Toronto soundcheck earlier this month.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Tvbona

@Tvbona Both! It’s a (slight) remix of a cover Gavin did a few years ago.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Tvbona

12. Even Better Than The Real Thing #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@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!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to MarkCDarwin

11. The second set begins with Invisible as per usual. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Incidentally, #U2 DID rehearse The Fly themselves, live, in Toronto. 360 style but with only one guitar. #U2ieTour

 via Twitter Web Client

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

 via Twitter Web Client

There you go folks, Chris Martin definitely there tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Kevi…

 via Twitter Web Client

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

 via Twitter Web Client

10. Until The End Of The World. There was the usual Psalm 23 snippet at the end of Raised By Wolves. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Snippet of When Johnny Comes Marching Home in SBS. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

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.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to mysteriousdays

@ryannichols7 Stuck in a spoiler you can’t get out of

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ryannichols7

ryannichols7 (unfortunate) spoiler for the e-stage set @u2gigs #U2ieTour http://t.co/qM4XXpIY10

 via Twitter for iPhone (retweeted on 2:55 AM, Jul 20th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client)

Bono gives a shoutout to Gavin Friday, who’s there tonight. Reports say Chris Martin of Coldplay is too. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

6. Cedarwood Road - “if you don’t visit it [the past] at all, you’re condemned to stay there” #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@mysteriousdays The earliest live streams on Vertigo were v. improvised affairs that only 50-60 people could listen to before they crashed!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to mysteriousdays

@mysteriousdays We did the first live streams on 3rd leg of Vertigo, then 360 there were streams for some but not all shows.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to mysteriousdays

@RaulCamarena This is only one working now and it doesn’t sound great: http://mixlr.com/allison…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to RaulCamarena

Bono is now talking about how much he loves New York City. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

Snippet of Summer in the City at the end of I Will Follow. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2 I remember 2005-09-20, Walk On’s tour debut, gorman on Interference uploaded a clip before end of show. WE ALL FLIPPED.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

Plus, low quality streams remind me of the days in late 2005 when we had our first ever live streams. They sounded underwater!

 via Twitter Web Client

Co-signed. Even when the quality’s low, I’m grateful to be able to hear anything. https://twitter.com/U2Ba…

 via Twitter Web Client

4. I Will Follow. End of Vertigo had snippet of Joy Division’s Transmission. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2 Even with low quality Mixlrs, my ears are attuned to picking the regular snippets. ;) Now, an unfamiliar snip would’ve stumped me!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2

Sillywhite Namecheck from Bono at the end of Gloria !
BOOOOOOOOM !

 via Twitter for iPhone (retweeted on 2:38 AM, Jul 20th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client)

Vertigo has snippet of Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

3. Vertigo. Gloria ended with snippet of Van Morrison’s Gloria. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

@harbinger384 That’s correct. Vertigo and 360 had 1 each: Gloria in ’05 and Scarlet in ’10-11.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to harbinger384

@duuuaaaane @atu2 I would absolutely flip if they did Rejoice. Love that song. Lucifer’s Hands’ lyrics allude to it…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to duuuaaaane

Bono introduced Gloria by saying it’s a song they haven’t played enough. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

2. Gloria! Back after missing one show; just its 4th performance of tour. #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

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…

 via Twitter Web Client

Here’s our article that will have the full NYC2 set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

1. The night begins with The Miracle (Of Joey Ramone). #U2ieTour #U2

 via Twitter Web Client

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…

 via Twitter Web Client

People Have The Power has just begun at Madison Square Garden. #U2 on stage in a few minutes! #U2ieTour

 via Twitter Web Client

@Rlabs19 They might be, but no soundcheck reports today that I’ve seen.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Rlabs19

@ac_83 I think it’s quite nice and fresh myself! (But did get a massive hot choc before getting into work…)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to ac_83

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
