Oh wow. It’s so much better if seen live. Got some videos for you as well. Matt

10:48 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Tweetbot for iΟS from Bijlmer-Centrum (D, F, H), Amsterdam

Thanks to everybody who streamed tonight - and to Matkin for holding the U2gigs fort, a tough first day back on the job after so long!

10:43 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Here you go, write-up and full setlist for #U2ieTour Amsterdam 1 (Two Hearts Beat As One!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2

10:41 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

(The crowd takes it into their own hands and sings the refrain from 40 to send the boys off #U2 #U2ieTour

10:38 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

The crowd’s chanting 40. That’s great! #U2ieTour #U2

10:38 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Yep, looks like that is it! Thanks for having me everyone. Ax will have a summary/write-up posted for you shortly! And some videos from Matt

10:38 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Invisible snippet. Is that the end of the night? #U2 #U2ieTour

10:36 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Mother and Child Reunion into One tonight #U2 #U2ieTour

10:32 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I Remember You snippet at the end of BD #U2 #U2ieTour

10:28 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bono during Beautiful Day: “Anton Corbijn right in front of you!” #U2ieTour #U2

10:26 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

If you’re sleepy and just waking up (like Ax), you can see the set so far here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…

10:26 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

(P.S.: Happy birthday, Willie!)

10:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bono leads the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Willie Williams. That then goes into Beautiful Day #U2 #U2ieTour

10:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bono leads audience singing Happy Birthday for Willie Williams. #U2ieTour #U2

10:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Bono has a male fan on stage during City Of Blinding Lights. #U2ieTour #U2

10:22 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Can you see the beauty inside of me? What happened to the beauty I had inside of me? #U2 #U2ieTour

10:21 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Professor Hawking is on. And so is City of Blinding Lights. The more you see the less you know

10:18 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

We give ourselves away - to U2, to our friends and loved ones, to those who need it in the world at large. #U2 #U2ieTour

10:12 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

And With or Without you follows Pride, presumably closing the main set (barring a surprise addition in Bad) #U2 #U2ieTour

10:10 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I (Matkin) agree. He was trying to get to my country. The refugee crisis was not discussed much before, but it is exploded in news now

10:07 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Pride #U2ieTour http://t.co/pdj4rUr6wA

10:07 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Tweetbot for iΟS

The lyrical tweak of Pride to “one boy washed up on an empty beach” is really powerful. #U2ieTour #U2

10:06 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Pride is next

10:05 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I (Ax) added a neat stat about Out Of Control not being played at consecutive full tour gigs since 2001 here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2

10:03 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Personally, I love how Streets has been retooled to reflect on the refugee crisis. The lyrics fit, and it brings a lot of meaning #U2ieTour

10:02 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

And of course that leads into Streets; when refugees are fleeing for their lives, only one road leads to safety. Its only name is Hope #U2

10:00 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Sounds like the incredible reinvention of Zooropa is up next. It may be shortened, but damn is it beautiful #U2 #U2ieTour

9:57 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

“We don’t want you in the revolution! You’re part of the problem, not the solution!” #U2 #U2ieTour

9:56 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

By Meerkat I mean Mixlr of course. This is Ax; I plead it being much too early in the morning.

9:55 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Meerkat just dropped out, but this Periscope is live: https://www.periscope.tv… #U2ieTour #U2

9:54 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

I notice Bono’s rant has changed; the boy doesn’t say he talks like an American anymore, just smiles at the powerful #U2 #U2ieTour

9:53 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bullet the Blue Sky is up next. As we linked earlier Denmark isn’t exactly encouraging refugees to go there… Bono might be a wee bit angry

9:51 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

He’s right. Adelaide the last city to have October in October. Hopefully October lasts to next month! #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/u2wa…

9:51 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Fun fact: October was first played in an August! Second appearance (1981) was October 1 though #U2ieTour #U2

9:50 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

October next. When was the last time we had October in October? Ax? #U2ieTour #U2

9:47 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I (Ax) am now running our mainpage article off our database with full hyperlinks & will add some stats: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2

9:45 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Every Breaking Wave, my (Matkin) twitter namesake, is next. I guess the orchestra accompanying never did work out for the tour.

9:43 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Looks like both Matkin and I (Ax) are pretty excited about Two Hearts! Hope Matt gets a sweet video of this. #U2ieTour #U2

9:38 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Damnit, U2 are playing it in front of the wrong Matt!

9:38 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

No, its the song that made me a U2 fan - TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9:37 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

TWO HEARTS BEAT AS ONE! Second performance of tour; second since 27 December 1989!! #U2ieTour #U2

9:37 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Sounds like it could be New Year’s Day?

9:36 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

14 - Olivenation (I know it’s terrible…. it’s the best I could come up with)

9:32 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bono to the woman he pulled on stage: “You were too funky for me so I had to pass you on to The Edge.” #U2ieTour #U2

9:31 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Bono has pulled up a girl to dance with him. Guessing she’ll be our Meerkat for tonight!

9:30 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

After not having snippets at either Turin show, MWays has a Burning Down The House snippet tonight. #U2ieTour #U2

9:30 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Bah, and here I thought Ax’d snore the whole way through the set

9:28 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I (Ax) am going to be backseat driver, making awkward observations as Matkin drives the U2gigs account around Amsterdam.

9:27 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Shamu the Mysterious Whale is thirteenth

9:27 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Go back to sleep, Ax! This is my car now! You can do the recap once my test drive is over!

9:25 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Good morning all, Ax crashing Matkin’s party. Looks like he hasn’t crashed the U2gigs car. ;)

9:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Twitter Web Client

Even Better in the Old Style is our twelfth song of the night #U2ieTour

9:22 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Meanwhile, on Denmark and the refugee crisis… https://twitter.com/davi… Bono, talk some sense into them!

9:21 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Our setlist recap so far is here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… Hopefully no snippets have been missed

9:19 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Invisible opens set 2

9:17 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

New mixlr! http://mixlr.com/phofste… Time to grab another Larry lemonade

9:15 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

The Fly is the Intermission tonight

9:14 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Edge’s outro in this song still gets me. So amazing

9:13 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Until the End of the World

9:08 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Raised by Wolves

9:04 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Larry http://t.co/zIHO44ifIA

9:03 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Tweetbot for iΟS

If the rumours of Belfast dates are true, I can’t imagine how powerful the Sunday Bloody Sunday/Raised By Wolves duo will be

9:00 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

08 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

8:58 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Song For Ali is seventh

8:55 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Cedarwood Road is the sixth song of the night. “All the green and all the gold, the hurt you hide and the joy you hold” What guitar too!

8:51 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Iris is fifth. What a great song live.

8:44 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Edge apparently borrowed money from a drunk person yesterday. They’ve missed Amsterdam, Bono mentioning how they played I Will Follow first

8:42 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I Will Four-ow. No snippets that I’ve detected so far.

8:36 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Vertigo #U2ieTour http://t.co/Fzrv3wD1ab

8:35 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via Tweetbot for iΟS

Sounds like Vertigo is third up. Some! Two! Three! Fourteen!

8:32 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Lots of people are saying its Out of Control, so we’ll go with that. The concert is so out of control even the phones won’t work!

8:30 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Second song of the night is…. I don’t know, both my feeds cut out. Uh-oh!

8:27 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I’m a bit out of practice, but I’ll try not to miss anything!

8:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

You can follow along with our setlist here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…

8:24 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

The Miracle (of an Opener) starts us off tonight

8:22 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Mixlr: http://mixlr.com/wilco-v… Periscope: https://www.periscope.tv…

8:19 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

People Have the Power has started. Matkin is with you tonight. Ax is in bed, something about needing to sleep at 4:30 in the morning

8:18 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

In non-food news, we have a stream running already from Wilco Vanheuman http://mixlr.com/wilco-v…

7:58 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

Maybe a glass of Larry lemonade or Edge elcohol to go with it…

7:56 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)

I’m feeling a bit hungry… maybe time to grab a Bono burger and slice of Adam Apple Pie before the show?

7:53 PM, Sep 8th, 2015  via U2gigs (Matkin)
