xAquaheart @u2gigs Wolves/UTEOTW when its done processing youtube.com/watch?v=i2Jfx0…
@xAquaheart You’re great, thank you!
And a second video of 40, from a quite different angle. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/Anon…
xAquaheart @u2gigs here’s 40 youtube.com/watch?v=pojbnH…
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney It’s been fun guys! Look forward to doing it again in Europe.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Wonder if somebody had to call 911 for her… or if they just ignored her because they’re not from Virginia!
@xAquaheart Ooh cool! Wolves/Until The End Of The World? I should try to figure out what Bono was quoting in UTEOTW…
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Leading into Streets would’ve solved the problem of where that organ at end of UC is meant to lead!
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal I was surprised they never did Unknown Caller/Streets. But I’m pleased Caller vanished fast.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal One member of the Late Show, Rob Sitch, did impersonations. His impersonation of Tutu is a classic.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal That video was especially funny if you’re Aussie and old enough to remember the Late Show.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I like how tonight Bono gave a shoutout to Engine 44 again but no mention of 911 girl!
Out Of Control and Vertigo from NYC 8. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/xAqu…
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I’m still both mystified and tremendously amused by this.
Check out this video of Streets/I Still Haven’t Found/Stand By Me. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/xAqu…
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Oh my god that’s a special kind of misfortune. The universe owes them a refund.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I’m all “I want to hear Bono not some drunk guy”, but I’ll take the Drunk Acrobat Chorus over speeches.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Hawking and Desmond Tutu should do a video together about One and Red. It’ll be played before Party Girl.
1st leg of every #U2 tour has featured New Year’s Day since War’s pre-tour of Dec ’82 except for ZooTV and now the IE Tour too. #U2ieTour.
@sb_wreeldeal I hope they try to make Troubles more regular. Hands/Pride will probably go. Don’t expect big shakeup though.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Like I keep saying, play Song Whatever/Paul Simon snip/Streets seamlessly THEN give speech.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Usually at least we can blame Bono but in that case it was Edge who let us down.
@CrazyLemonCat You’ll find it over on @U2Start! Great recording. Best live Mofo and Please in my opinion.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Remember how scarily close Bono came to taking his head off with the flare some nights?
@xAquaheart Looks like it’s been removed because it’s too long? :(
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney It was wrecked by Edge doing this really lame plinky-plonky solo with no distortion & the Hands/Johnny snips.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Bullet: 1. Zoo, 2. Elevation, =3. JT/Lovetown =3. IE, 5. Popmart, 20,000. Vertigo.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal I’m actually not crazy on Popmart Bullet. Starts great but the end was usually too long and drawn out.
@StartAtlnfinity An extended Troubles solo to wrap up the night would be amaaaazing.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Nothing for me can come close to Zoo Bullet. Esp the “America fuck you/Zoonited Nations” version of 1993-08-12.
@StartAtlnfinity This is so far literally the only U2 tour ever to not feature a new song in the encore at any show.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Consensus? Like, whether or not it’s popular? I’d say it’s gone down very well.
@sb_wreeldeal Best part about that Boston ’05 Party Girl is that it replaced Yahweh. Worst part is they did Vertigo x2 next rather than 40.
@sb_wreeldeal Party Girl is so much fun isn’t it? I consider myself lucky to have heard it twice: Boston 3, May ’05 & Melbourne 2, Nov ’06.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Hah we’re definitely not going to agree about EBW.
@KevinMFeeney Haha well predicted. Go get a Lotto ticket! (I should too. I predicted Party Girl & 40 for tonight weeks ago.)
@StartAtlnfinity Yeah, and Volcano had become semi-regular before this run of shows too!
Hey, whoever asked earlier what’s the 2nd most played #U2 b-side (after Party Girl), yes the answer is Boy/Girl: http://www.u2gigs.com/Bo…
@StartAtlnfinity I figure it’ll probably get a couple more occasional outings on the European leg.
@KevinMFeeney Of course the shambolic ’05 Boston OOC was incredible, high point of the show, but a polished take would be nice one day.
@KevinMFeeney I’ve heard Out Of Control once but it was the shambolic spontaneous Boston 2005-05-26 version. Would love to hear it properly.
@StartAtlnfinity I’d be very impressed if U2 had been aware of that!
@KevinMFeeney 2/2 …because I really did think they’d bust out either California or Crystal Ballroom.
@KevinMFeeney Haha. Luckily those of us playing along online had a spoiler and knew Party Girl was coming. Desire was a bummer though…1/2
@pdog311 Actually no we don’t - that’s a good idea!
@KevinMFeeney Time zone will be horrific. Think the Sept shows will start around 4-4:30am for me. Then we hit DST so at least 5am there on.
@StartAtlnfinity @U2start @atu2 It’s great fun & exhausting. More the former, which is why I (Ax) have been part of this for over a decade!
@StartAtlnfinity If I were a betting man I’d be short some coin right now because I would’ve put money on it being played at least 1 show.
Video of Still Haven’t Found/Stand By Me via @AnonYTerSongs https://www.youtube.com/… #U2ieTour #U2
Printed set from NYC 8. Only variation is that Stand By Me is not on printed set. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/g_ra…
RT @AnonYTerSongs: @u2gigs @StartAtlnfinity ISFWILF is taking a century to process, but here’s another Party Girl vid in the mean time. htthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…
@KevinMFeeney Cedarwood is my favourite both studio and live, but yeah RBW is second live and I’m not a big fan of studio version.
@KevinMFeeney Hope you’ll be around for some of the European tour coverage mate!
Video of Party Girl tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/xAqu…
@markpeterboro Thank YOU for the amazing charts!
markpeterboro Final North American U2 setlist chart (36 gigs) #setlistgeek #u2ietour @u2gigs #NYC8
Stand By Me is longer, so its in http://t.co/qj07cAkFvY
Just the way it should be. #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/CBar…
I (Ax) also want to thank Chris, Ashley, & Travis for helping cover shows, and especially Matt for making this site possible! #U2ieTour #U2
Thank you everybody for following our coverage of the 1st leg of the #U2ieTour. I (Ax) have enjoyed your input, opinions, and jokes. #U2
Still buzzing from tonight? Want more #U2 concert stats to fuel the fire? Prepare your personal chart: http://www.u2gigs.com/pe… #U2ieTour
CBarcaSTJ Thank you @U2. For making this week and a half unforgettable. Couldn’t have dreamed of a better night. How long to sing this song? #U2ieTour
Here is the full setlist and write-up for NYC 8: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Thank you so much to all the wonderful people who streamed tonight - and every night this leg. You are the best! #U2ieTour #U2
@jay2bell He said both, best gig and best tour.
Bono keeps gushing: “this has been the greatest #U2 tour ever for sure”. Now thanking the crew - Willie W., Joe O., etc. #U2ieTour #U2
More chanting of “Bruuuuuuce!” after Stand By Me. Sounds much better than the booing yesterday. (I was saying boo-urns.) #U2ieTour #U2
@U2TOURFANS I (Ax) have never said no to a few pints before!
Massive singalong time for I Still Haven’t Found, with Bruce Springsteen on stage with #U2. #U2ieTour
23. I Still Haven’t Found, dedicated to Bruce Springsteen! “Gave us a level we could never reach but always aspire to.” #U2ieTour #U2
22. Mother & Child Reunion - back to a snippet tonight after Paul Simon’s surprise appearance yesterday - leads into Streets. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is giving Bill Clinton another shout-out, and Hillary too. This time it’s about the fight against AIDS. #U2ieTour #U2
@ryannichols7 Won’t see me disputing that!
@LeftRightBack @atu2 Shine Like Stars was done at the first NYC show.
@mveernl Yep, already got that listed. :)
@ryannichols7 So weird. Got plenty of love in Toronto/Boston, almost forgotten in NYC.
No Shine Like Stars at end of WOWY. Encore break. Check out full set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
My gut instinct is that Bono was channelling Sinatra there at the end of BDay so will list that, not U2’s “New York”. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono was also singing “new york” at end of BDay… but debatable if it was Sinatra “New York, New York” or #U2’s own “New York”! #U2ieTour
Will we be lucky enough to get Bad after Beautiful Day? Can’t believe it’s only been done at 1 out of 7 NYC shows so far. #U2ieTour #U2
