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.
There was a snippet in Bullet before the 1st solo but all I heard was “the gold and the silver ha ha ha”. Anyone identify it? #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney We can definitely add this to that list of baffling U2 decisions of a few shows ago.
bethandbono Gaga looks a little like Charo from up here. #U2ieTour #NYC5 http://t.co/4Gv2zuLlOG
@KevinMFeeney I’m really surprised no California or When Love Comes To Town or whatever back in the mix.
U2 |LIVE NOW| Tune in now live and back in NYC #U2ieTour #meerkat mrk.tv/1LLfq50
@DerBFreund Ah I missed that bit while the stream buffered, thanks.
The set so far is no secret at all: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Bono yelling something in UTEOTW about “the words of Allen Ginsberg” but I can’t tell if he’s quoted anything directly. #U2ieTour #U2
bethandbono Bono kicked books down catwalk to e-stage rather than throwing them out into audience. #U2ieTour
@johnnybrofo That happens to me occasionally, not sure why. Is your browser up to date?
@johnnybrofo Just click the links that come up and they should start automatically. They work better on PC than Mac actually.
@emsareh And by the sounds of it people are showing up at 5pm and still getting amazing spots this tour!
@emsareh Yeah they have no official status so good luck! What time do you plan to arrive? By early a’noon numbering ceases to really matter.
If you’re having trouble with Mixlrs, try Periscope. Search Twitter for “U2 Periscope” to find feeds. #U2ieTour #U2
@emsareh Some fans “take charge” of the line every show and number people. This usually works well but sometimes dodgy favouritism happens.
Incidentally if Bono claims they’re taking requests in Melbourne you’ll hear me yelling “A SORTA FUCKEN HOMECOMING”. Without needing Mixlr.
And there was this snippet: https://twitter.com/atu2…
6. Cedarwood Road
To recap the Mixlr feeds for those tuning in now: http://mixlr.com/caryn-r… & http://mixlr.com/mysteri… & http://mixlr.com/sil-rig… #U2ieTour #U2
@carynrose Don’t be sorry! Maybe one day Bono will listen to us all…
@dmacirish Yep those four, plus Beautiful Day opened three shows.
Bono also remarked that Larry in 70s said “if you’re looking for trouble, I will find you some”. Can he find us The Troubles? #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “We were a house band, before we were the house band here at Madison Square Garden, at Larry’s house.” #U2ieTour #U2
bethandbono Teleprompter is scrolling during Bono’s band intros. #U2ieTour http://t.co/lMd7yNJpwT
Bono intro’ing band, saying what records they brought to rehearsals back in the seventies. Marquee Moon by Televsion for Edge. #U2ieTour #U2
@DerBFreund Yeah that’s why I consider Lovetown to be the real leader.
@emsareh It can depend on the people around you and how close to the front you are as to how people will take somebody turning up late.
Lovetown had wild variety of openers. UF mainly 11OTT, but #U2 tried MLK & Wire, occasionally Gloria & OOControl, and SBS opened Live Aid.
Trivia answer: two #U2 tours had six different openers, UF and Lovetown. 360 had five.
@DerBFreund Lovetown is correct - it’s one song ahead of 360, 6 to 5. One other tour also has 6…
@Drea104 Yep, one of those (UF) is correct - assuming you count Live Aid. There’s one other tour equal with it, but not JT.
@Wall82Jonathan You’re close. It had 5 openers, which is second.
Last show I played trivia by asking which tours had had only one opener. So today: which #U2 tour has had the most different opening songs?
@emsareh That’s usually done by fans running the line.
Here’s our mainpage article with the NYC5 setlist in progress: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
carynrose Going to try to broadcast tonight on Mixlr Listen here: mixlr.com/caryn-rose-1 #U2ieTour @atu2 @u2gigs @U2tour
Two Mixlrs tonight: @mysteriousdays has one: http://mixlr.com/mysteri… and @SilRigote another: http://mixlr.com/sil-rig… #U2ieTour #U2
Ax here with you for #U2ieTour NYC5. Lady Gaga rumoured to perform with #U2 tonight. I’m sceptical after the failed Springsteen rumours!
That’s Lord Of The Flies sitting there on the catwalk. #U2ieTour http://t.co/27GCFdoqaZ
