Here’s my first clip from the 2nd Amsterdam #U2ieTour show: Glorihttp://youtu.be/LMt4yD_mvUAcB
@nielstenhave @atu2 @U2tour @U2 I’ll have a video for you. Watch out for it on our Youtube channel later.
markpeterboro U2 setlist stats after 40 gigs on the #U2ieTour #u2Amsterdam @u2 @u2gigs http://t.co/ib1otClXHQ
@adammajorcsik nope :-p
@u2_se I think so!
Full report and setlist for #U2ieTour Amsterdam 2: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
How was the mixlr? Wifi lost and switched to 3G then.
Looks like the dry air in Ziggo Dome hurted Bono’s voice today. Not as good as yesterday but 2 more to come.
Well, thats me done for today. Hope you all enjoyed that. I’ll leave Ax with his Viva Davidoff delusions =P (Pick Slug instead!)
@KevinMFeeney Mother & Child Reunion / Viva Davidoff. In fact, anything at all / Viva Davidoff.
@KevinMFeeney Hahaha. I wonder if there’s a “she really don’t like it” headline too to bring The Clash into line with Bono.
That’s it for Amsterdam 2. I (Ax) want to thank our Matts: Matt at the show for a killer Mixlr feed and Matkin for tweeting. #U2ieTour #U2
People Have The Power snippet at end of Still Haven’t Found - and Bono sings it right for once, not as “people got the power” #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney Mother & Child Reunion / 4th of July
homerj281 @u2gigs I always sing a snippet to myself at the end if BD even if there isn’t one because that’s how I’ve heard it so many times #U2ieTour
KevinMFeeney @u2gigs Sort of hoping they just start trying to tag on increasingly ridiculous songs after Mother & Child Reunion that totally don’t fit
@KevinMFeeney Mother & Child Reunion / Mothers Of The Disappeared.
@Bonoallday @KevinMFeeney I skip practically every live Pride. Almost never lived up to studio version. (1984-08-31 Wellington an exception)
@KevinMFeeney Huh. I think the studio version is a bit weak (esp a poor vocal take) but the live version is amazing, especially the end.
@_JamesMiller_ Matkin disagrees with Ax on this point
@_JamesMiller_ Yeah I’m really not sure COBL needs to be a permanent fixture for a third tour in a row…
@KevinMFeeney Yeah wish we had a proshot of that… on the other hand, Dirty Day/Bullet ruled too.
@KevinMFeeney Haha I love the kind of misleading impression the ZooTV DVD gives of the ZooTV setlist.
23. City Of Blinding Lights to open encore - wonder if they will resume rotations in this slot later on Euro leg? #U2ieTour #U2
U2place (Stephen Hawking Intro)/ 22) City Of Blinding Lights #U2placetour #U2ieTour #ZiggoDome
@KevinMFeeney As it stands it basically is anyway, since after Pride is Big JT Hit, just on Zoo it was ISHFWILF and now it’s WOWY.
@theshev1 Capacity is a lot smaller, only 11k. Looks like more than there will be.
If you’re just tuning in, it’s encore time. Matt’s run a GREAT Mixlr feed tonight: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
I (Matkin) personally think the Dublin video screen will have no floor. It will just drop and rise around the band #U2 #U2ieTour
@BrumNote Yep live debut of Silver & Gold. Spanish Eyes had only been done 3 times before.
@_TurboMike_ Damnit Ax, you beat me by 2 seconds!
@nevri @1f6fa44f3c5d4fb I say just drop Mother & Child entirely!
@_TurboMike_ Presales start tomorrow. See our article from yesterday: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
@_TurboMike_ Yes there is, see 2nd-last paragraph here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
If you haven’t seen the stage plan for Dublin, here it is. Looks like the E-stage will be halfway down the catwalk https://t.co/YCeshI3VaN
@BrumNote Nice! I love the kind of unusual setlist from that show.
With or Without You is 22, probably closing main set. Unless the band decide to spring a bad surprise *cough* #U2 #U2ieTour (I’m so witty)
I (Ax) am starting to think main set should end with Pride. Wraps up segment from October on hopeful note. Move WOWY elsewhere #U2ieTour #U2
StephFerry @jamesamurray @u2gigs @U2 Anything Zooropa is a winner #U2ieTour
KevinMFeeney @u2gigs What’s amazing (For this band) is that they decided to put October in as a regular…and didn’t feel they had to remove another song
@El_Rey_Louie Ah no worries! I would’ve said the same pre-tour but this new version of Bullet rocks.
@El_Rey_Louie “Always”? This is just its sixth performance since 1989!
California snippet
@KevinMFeeney Yeah I’ve been wondering about that. It now seems encore is the logical place for it. Make it closer. Bad/40 = epic.
jamesamurray @u2gigs That Zooropa/Streets combo is a winner. #U2ieTour @U2
@JeffReinhart77 Yep. He’s clearly making a strong allusion to it as part of the refugee segment - it’s the EU anthem.
The last time before tonight 2 October songs were played at a European show? 3 August 1987 Birmingham: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
sb_wreeldeal @u2gigs Is now when we pull up where you gave 0 percent to THBAAO? :-)
Zooropa is song 19 on the night. Love love LOVE this stark version. It sounds almost eerie. #U2 #U2ieTour
The only shows since 1989 to feature two October songs are tonight and NYC 2 on 19 July 2015: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
Let it be said I called October’s live return in Sep ’14 (didn’t expect it as Bullet intro though!): http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
Matkin and I agree - I was about to post how great it is that October seems to now be a fixture. Here comes new best part of show! #U2ieTour
@PascalGteD I think they have a deal with Gibson for the tour, Bono namechecked them in Toronto. They give one away most nights it seems.
@SilRigote Gloria!
I think Bono forgot the lyrics. That was an unusually long pause. The first senior moment of the tour? Back on track now tho! #U2 #u2ieTour
Desire & Angel at start of tour were normally played on separate nights, but since LA they’ve usually been done together. #U2ieTour #U2
@JeffReinhart77 Let’s see what happens on nights 3 and 4 before pronouncing variety completely dead… (I say in hope)
u2w .@AppleMusic Feel free to drop another unsolicited @U2 album into my phone anytime now.
Into The Mystic snippet at the end of Angel Of Harlem. Well, Bono sang three words of it then stopped. #U2ieTour #U2
@JeffReinhart77 California too, outside of the snippet in Streets
sb_wreeldeal @u2gigs Curious what would happen if a fan said, “No. I wanna play Acrobat.”
Bono has fan on stage to play guitar; joking with him. “Nothing against tall people - I just wouldn’t have one in the band!” #U2ieTour #U2
rdej68 @u2gigs I was hoping for BAD as the girl had the sign and Bono said “it pays to advertise”.. but… :(
Whoops, got caught doing laundry. Desire is the next song, back after…. how many nights did it miss, Ax? #U2 #U2ieTour
@ryannichols7 That’s the safe bet. It was nice of them to foil the Elevation-OLove safe bet yesterday!
Damn I’m good.
Favourite song from the Axtung Beibi outtakes bootleg? My (Ax) favourite is easily Take You Down (early Fly, UV, LadyWTSH) #U2ieTour #U2
Matt’s Mixlr is going strong at http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ but if the official site must show us up… ;) #U2ieTour #U2 https://twitter.com/U2/s…
Before this year, the last time EBTTRThing was played in Holland, Popmart’s arch rose over Rotterdam: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
amubalt @u2gigs Clearly Europe needs more Gloria! #U2Request #U2ieTour
@davec82 But that’s Black Eyed Peas!
Eleventh on the night and opening of Act 2 is Invisible. Matt has a stream going here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2 #U2ieTour
Am I (Ax) really that transparent?
… yes, yes I am. Long live eighties #U2! https://twitter.com/Kevi…
Gloria live since end of Lovetown: 23 performances in US (18 in 2005, 5 this year), 1 in Dublin (2005), 1 in Holland tonight. #U2ieTour #U2
@U2Kite38 You never know when they’ll throw a curveball!
@KevinMFeeney Hey now, Ax will resent that! It’s 1987, not 1997! =P
Ax on snippet watch: Psalm 23 in Raised By Wolves (I too am an atheist but I know my snippets!) & Words in UTEOTW. #U2ieTour #U2
sb_wreeldeal @u2gigs Ax doesn’t like In A Little While. He’s apparently had many sleepless nights
I (Matkin) am an atheist so I don’t know the psalms. Hey Ax, can you clarify on the snippets tonight? #U2 #U2ieTour
madfl3a Can’t help but to think about that young fan I met in Turin, who discovered @U2 on his iTunes and became a fan. His favorite! #U2ieTour
Pssh, well maybe if you didn’t stay up so late, Ax! (There’s no private convos on Twitter, we can’t DM our own account! …or can we?)
Yes Matkin, I’ll take over the mainpage article now. Once you’re up at 5am, you’re UP. (Excuse our private convo here. ;) )
@rnolan76 Yes. Both in the intro to Out of Control, Larry started the Vertigo drums early both times
Showoff MT @u2gigs: Today’s performance of Gloria is just the 2nd in Europe since end of Lovetown in Jan 1990. #U2ieTour #U2
Poem for Everyone is seventh of the night. I wonder if Bono ever will manage to impress poor Ali #U2 #U2ieTour
Today’s performance of Gloria is just the 2nd in Europe since end of Lovetown in Jan 1990. (The other? 27 June 2005, Dublin.) #U2ieTour #U2
Hi folks, Ax joining in. Looks like Matkin has been taking good care of you so far.
Cedarwood Road is sixth. Bono invites the crowd to see Gavin and Guggi, friends and enemies #U2 #U2ieTour
Going back to that Vertigo snippet in I Will Follow… only the third time it’s ever been done; the previous two were both drum errors #U2
welsh_edge @u2gigs @atu2 mixlr.com/phofstee/ too!
“The star that gives us light has been gone a while but it’s not a while”. The beautiful iris is fifth #U2 #U2ieTour
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Amsterdam #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
Matt is streaming from the audience tonight: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ And so is Acrobatgirl from @atu2 http://mixlr.com/acrobat… #U2
If you’re just joining us tonight, you missed Gloria. Catch up here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2 #U2ieTour
Of course, I Will Follow is fourth. I’m not familiar with Sex Pistols so I dont know if they were snippeted in Vertigo tonight #U2 #U2ieTour
trainmaniac @u2gigs vertinception
markpeterboro @BrumNote @u2gigs does this help?? http://t.co/xgd9qchrr4
Vertigo opening with the “Ohhh, ohhhh” that usually precedes the chorus. Does that mean Vertigo snippeted itself? #U2 #U2ieTour
@BrumNote Offhand I can’t think of any exceptions to that this tour. Ax will know for sure though.
@rdej68 Actually the sixth!
Hoosier2012 @u2gigs But I *miss* the Drug one!
If Two Hearts is played tonight, it will mark its first consecutive appearance since 1985 #U2 #U2ieTour
People have the Power is playing, so we’re about ready to start. Sit back, grab a Larry lemonade or Edge elcohol and enjoy! #U2ieTour #U2
Hello everyone, Matkin here. Ready for night 2? Webmaster Matt is in the crowd again, and hopefully streaming http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Amsterdam #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs
@Dutchelevation 26 August 1997 on the Popmart Tour. That show and 24 June 1987 are the only two U2 Belfast gigs since 1982.
@mfbeatty @U2 @U2Community @fansofu2 Presale begins 10am Thursday 10 Sept. Info in 2nd-last paragraph here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar…
Going live on Mixlr ‘U2 Amsterdam #U2ieTour’. Listen here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs

Matt and Stefan have now uploaded a total of 13 videos from #U2ieTour Amsterdam 1. Watch them all here: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney PS I’m still waiting for him to snippet The Refugee.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney “The refugees want freedom! The refugees are my people! FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE!”
Our friend Stefan also shot some videos at Amsterdam 1. Here’s Even Better Than The Real Thing: https://www.youtube.com/… #U2ieTour #U2
Matt’s been busy uploading videos from #U2ieTour Amsterdam night 1. They’re collected together in this article: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Oh god but what if “this is a song we really wanted to play in NI, it’s P-… Peace on Earth!”
@SoulDrifter212 @danastar78 Yep. Those dates were before the UF album was even released - only the Pride single was out at the time.
U2start Today it’s the one-year anniversary of Songs of Innocence! That calls for a celebration tonight @U2. #U2ieTOUR http://t.co/esppN5Wegh
Trivia: On the first three dates of The Unforgettable Fire Tour, only one song from that album was played! The song? Pride #U2
@StartAtlnfinity No problem! Back then it wasn’t uncommon for songs to debut so early. I Fall Down and Fire both debuted on the Boy Tour!
@StartAtlnfinity War Tour includes the “pre-War” leg; Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year’s Day, and Surrender all debuted in 1982 on it
Our article on the Irish dates has been updated with presale information! Thank you @_Bigwave_ http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2

Various stats now added to our article announcing the #U2ieTour November shows in Belfast and Dublin: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2
@jayoreilly1183 Actually I’m not sure about that. After 28Nov, the 3Arena isn’t free until 7 to 10Dec. But then a big gap after 19/12.
Some photos from the first AMS show #U2ieTour http://t.co/wZD59XBSeS
#U2 will play six #U2ieTour shows in Ireland (2 North + 4 Republic). Last time U2 did that many in Ireland? War Tour, 1982-83.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal “This song- we have to play this song here in Belfast… it’s called The… what is it Edge? In a Little While.”
Can you believe these #U2ieTour shows in Belfast and Dublin will be #U2’s first indoor shows in Ireland since December 1989?
Here’s my first clip from the first Amsterdam show: Two Hearts Beats As Onhttps://youtu.be/lFTGGW3RTN8rx #U2ieTour
KevinMFeeney @u2gigs It would be completely insane for me to fly home to see them 90% for that Zooropa segue after seeing the tour in New York, right?
KevinMFeeney @u2gigs Those bastards finally play Belfast again at long last immediately after I move to another continent!
Our article, likely to be updated, on the just-announced concerts in Belfast and Dublin: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour
Ireland dates announced! 18 and 19 November in Belfast, 23, 24, 27, and 28 in Dublin http://www.u2.com/news/t… #U2ieTour
