@KevinMFeeney @carynrose Yeah but they haven’t done WLCTT in almost 2 months now so prob forgotten it again!
@EveryBrokenWave Well it’s a poor transition to begin with. That at least tried to thread them together.
@EveryBrokenWave What I wouldn’t give for Beach Sequence/NYD. I’d even sit through Ordinary Love/Stuck/IALW for that!
That was one of the better EBW/Bullet transitions. Bono kept doing high note from end EBW over Bullet intro in short bursts. #U2ieTour #U2
17. Bullet The Blue Sky - back to the old setlist order again tonight, it would appear. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney @carynrose Wonder if THBAO is to “blame”; time rehearsing it precluded rehearsing rarities for E stage so chose 2 easy ones.
16. Every Breaking Wave. I miss October beforehand. Or even better, putting it afterwards to lead into NYD. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono has gifted the guitar to the Chilean fan (Ignacio, I think) - third time he’s done that this tour. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney I’m curious to see if this was on printed set or chosen because the fan can play it.
@U2RadioBrook Not yet, no!
Never mind Angel Of Harlem people, take #asignofhomecoming and get pulled on stage to play A Sort Of Homecoming. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono’s bringing another fan on stage now, from Chile - “now you better be able to play guitar alright!” #U2ieTour #U2
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now live from NYC #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1LQEJTl
@KevinMFeeney Yes, they rehearsed Mofo and Velvet Dress on third leg. Please was rehearsed on first leg but not used.
@KevinMFeeney Oh man, the Popcore would’ve been epic. I’ve no idea why Edge disliked that version of Discotheque so much.
@akmcquade Yeah at its heart it’s a fairly simple song to play. I live in hope it’s played again one day…
@KevinMFeeney No kidding. I think it’s U2’s best post-Lovetown tour.
@KevinMFeeney Wait, I HAVE been to a show with 2 of those: 2005-05-26 Boston had Gloria and OOC and it’s prob the best U2 gig I’ve attended.
@KevinMFeeney I can’t even begin to image how epic a show would be with just two of those in the same set, let alone all four.
Intermission time with The Fly. Here’s the set so far - TWO HEARTS!: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney No kidding. Some of these rotation songs sound great and deserve more live opportunities.
@atu2comSherry Will NYD be with us again?
@KevinMFeeney Yeah there was nothing at the start and I don’t think there was a Sex Pistols snippet in the middle tonight.
I find it interesting that so far #U2 have played 3 War songs on the #U2ieTour - and New Year’s Day is not one of them.
10. Until The End Of The World. At the end of Raised By Wolves was the normal snippet of Psalm 23. #U2ieTour #U2
When Johnny Comes Marching Home snippet in SBS, the first snippet of the night as it happens. #U2ieTour #U2
7. Song For Someone, Bono introduces it with a shoutout to his daughters who are there tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
@iammarsgirl Go for another bike ride, jinx it for another rarity!
@Manyi5 Watch the video I just posted and then get back to me about Hawkmoon. ;)
I’ve posted this often before, but if you’ve missed it, proof Hawkmoon may be #U2’s greatest live opener ever: https://www.youtube.com/…
Oh and don’t forget Hawkmoon! That song badly needs to come back. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/U2st…
CO-SIGNED. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/U2st…
@anandadaydream @achtung_meggie Yep, its last performance was 1989-12-27, which is 25 years and 7 months ago exactly.
Bono describes last couple of months of #U2ieTour as including some of the best shows of their life. #U2
Bono speaking to crowd, describes #U2 as “a brotherhood - there are some sisters of course, and I’m not just talking about Adam Clayton”.
@EveryBrokenWave Man I wish they’d played it for you! But woooow can’t believe they pulled it out finally.
@JereVenencia13 @SilRigote Haha really? Wow!
OK people, if #U2 can resurrect Two Hearts, bring your #asignofhomecoming to every show and get A Sort Of Homecoming played! #U2ieTour
Safe to say the fanbase is excited about #U2 playing Two Hearts! https://twitter.com/Ever…
3. Vertigo. Goddamn was Two Hearts fun. Sounded good for a song after a 25 year layoff! #U2ieTour #U2
Wow wow wow. I thought Two Hearts was abandoned after its soundchecks in Chicago led to nothing. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono introduced Two Hearts as a song #U2 have not played in a quarter of a century. He’s right! 1989-12-27 its only perf since ’85 #U2ieTour
We’re definitely not short on Mixlr streams tonight! A fifth: #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/ross…
Another Mixlr for tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/U2To…
Here’s our mainpage article with tonight’s full set in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Mixlr time for NYC 6: http://mixlr.com/sil-rig… and http://mixlr.com/tommy-s… and http://mixlr.com/mysteri… #U2ieTour #U2
@Drea104 @u2interference Though I do prefer “vocal parasite”. ;)
@Drea104 @u2interference Well I’m clearly not one of those!
@StartAtlnfinity Cool - I really don’t know why people churn through their battery life broadcasting 30+ mins of preshow music.
Time for #U2ieTour NYC 6! Ax here with a shoutout to my insufferable wankers on the @u2interference forums, my Internet home of 12+ years.
Should be a Mixlr feed here tonight: #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Star…
@carynrose Wait you’re telling me you don’t remember last night’s crazy Hendrix/Buddy Holly/Beethoven jam on Spanish Eyes?
@popartist61 WLCTT a four-off, do you mean? ; ) But otherwise I agree.
@StartAtlnfinity Awesome, thank you!
@TomLiodice Wow, that’s some incredible luck! I (Ax) consider myself lucky to have seen it once during my 19 shows.
We’ve posted a great photo set from the 5th New York show by Jason Brichttp://u2.gs/qho1 #U2ieTour http://t.co/Dtqlfbj9pl
#U2 songs played on #U2ieTour that weren’t played at NYC shows 1-5: 40, WLoveCTTown, California, Troubles, MDrug, Crystal B’room, IGCountry.
FamousRamos_ @atu2 @u2gigs @U2start a few photos of our boys from Dublin taken at the e stage. http://t.co/6TmEY54p4d
With Or Without You was strong, as was Gloria and Ordinary Love. WOWY may have been my favorite tonight.
Tremendous show tonight. Nearly identical set as my first #U2ieTour show at NYC 1 but tons of energy from the band and crowd. (Chris)
@Drea104 Totally intact, complete with a Bono scuff mark!
@SimonArtherton Dublin shows were meant to be announced but the details haven’t finalised and the rumour trail has gone cold. Frustrating.
@LarlarGamingYT Haha, lots I hope to hear, but not much that’s realistic! Definitely would love RTSS to be given a go after the rehearsals.
@FrankMitch2014 Surely it will appear at one of the 3 remaining gigs. I’m surprised it hasn’t shown up yet.
@markpeterboro @U2 Very glad to have the charts back. : )

Look what I (Chris) caught tonight! #U2ieTour http://t.co/cjnM7jo8rI
Well that was nice and quick! #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Nick…
NickPeters731 @atu2 @u2gigs @U2start Great shot of U2 and Gaga at MSG on July 26, 2015. #U2ieTour http://t.co/sjhQyD5hJz
@KevinMFeeney I still can’t quite believe they did October.
@LarlarGamingYT I certainly hope so. I’m surprised California, Troubles, Crystal Ballroom, 40, and WLCTT haven’t been done in NYC yet.
@KevinMFeeney Ha exactly. Plus I think this is a band that has high standards, and whose fans expect high standards.
@KevinMFeeney Yeah - and I’ve reined in the more negative stuff compared to 360. I’ve even called out the more vicious comments we receive!
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney I really should try to push the #asignofhomecoming thing a little harder…
@dontgoslideaway (What’s the betting somebody stumbles in on the end of this tweet chain and thinks we’re serious?)
@dontgoslideaway It even had snippets of Mofo and The Ground Beneath Her Feet! But that was nothing on the Boy Tour version of Please!
@KevinMFeeney I find it often quite fun and amusing! Plus I think the more rough and critical edge makes it clear that it’s Ax on deck. ; )
@Vodkaninja Barely anyone seems to have a bad word to say about it!
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney I didn’t know that not enjoying one show means throw in the towel.
Here’s our write-up and full setlist for NYC 5: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@16469324961 @jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney @atu2 Cheers for the whining about whining.
That’s the end of the gig. Thanks to @SilRigote, @mysteriousdays, and @carynrose for their Mixlr streams today! #U2ieTour #U2
@dontgoslideaway Did you know Hawkmoon actually opened every Elevation show? Now you do!
One has an All You Need Is Love snippet. He spoke “no them only us” but didn’t sing it so I’m not going to count it. #U2ieTour #U2
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney And then who’ll cover the gig? It was me or nobody today, so here I am, and generally keeping my jadedness quiet.
@dontgoslideaway Haha, just revise history to retroactively make 11OTT a fixture of the set.
@jackmhicken @KevinMFeeney To be frank I’m not feeling this show at all, so what do you expect?
@dontgoslideaway If I were to add it to the U2gigs database it means it happened, yes? ; )
@KevinMFeeney I also think it’s hard to get a full-blown singalong going when Bono stops the show to speechify for a few minutes…
Bono: “nobody in the world sounds like that!” and that’s the end of the main set. See what #U2 played here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
@KevinMFeeney I can’t help but feel it’s missing something - a new song, perhaps. It feels like a festival “here’s some hits” encore.
@NeoCortexPHD That would be cool - perhaps even better after end of 2nd leg as I expect even more to come into rotation.
@AntonioMbass Yeah I would be surprised if the US-focused themes around the Hands snippet in particular made it to Europe.
@KevinMFeeney I honestly thought they’d have more dramatically reworked end of the second set more by now already.
@KevinMFeeney I’m hoping this part of the set will be seriously rethought before Europe but my expectations are low.
@realjamespeach @emsareh It seems to be that the European lines have much less drama than the North American ones and I can’t explain why.
@KevinMFeeney Hahaha. Actually, Bullet straight after NYD may not be quite as jarring as the EBW or COBL segues have been.
@KevinMFeeney EBW/October/NYD/COBL would be excellent.
@KevinMFeeney @carynrose Yep, I’m mystified. It would fit well in the encore. I’ll laugh if it becomes a regular in Europe.
@KevinMFeeney I wonder if October will return… I really want October/NYD.
