Excuse me, I need to buy Grimes tickets…
The last time Patti sang with #U2 (for Instant Karma) it ended in confusing circumstances on 2005-11-22: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour
And Bono’s getting the lyrics right, “people HAVE the power”, unlike past snippets of “people GOT the power”. #U2ieTour #U2
26. “Now to take us home as she took us here, let’s see if we can do something very special.” PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. #U2ieTour #U2
@1979Wolly Don’t forget NYC had eight gigs! Only got Bad on 2nd night.
.@Maideneer NYC 2 had Gloria, October, Bad, but not NYD. To get all 4 in one set, you need to go back to 1989-11-11: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh…
I said earlier that New Year’s Day is a classic of which I never tire. That is even more true of Bad. #U2ieTour #U2
This is the first time this tour that Bad has been performed on a 3rd night in a city. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono: “This is hard for me as an Irishman; I’m going to thank England for giving us Adam… and Wales for giving us The Edge!” #U2ieTour #U2
@JereVenencia13 Yep, think it’s well and truly gone - though was reportedly soundchecked once last month (I think in Amsterdam off memory).
RT @AnitaHartgers: Holy shit. The crew just taped a songtext to the stage. WHAT IS HAPPENING
@youthworkmum Oh no! Hope the audio stream helps make up for it.
It’s encore break time. If you want to hear the encore, tune in here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
Shine Like Stars remains missing in action, last sung on 2015-09-13 in Amsterdam: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
@chris_rank Two Hearts would go very well alongside Song For Someone.
@chris_rank Agreed. At least it works thematically w/ political section. But we know WOWY is next and it is definitely expendable.
@mandiejane42 Yeah, strange. I guess there must’ve been some technical error…
“For the ones who brought us peace in Ireland, we sing for the peacemakers! We are holding on tight to that peace!” #U2ieTour #U2
20. “A Europe with its heart open or its borders closed to mercy - what do you want?” Where The Streets Have No Name. #U2ieTour #U2
@DavidRCD27 Today was around 8:30.
@chris_rank I really like this new version but oh god I got so sick of it back on Vertigo.
Assuming October is played tomorrow, this will be the 1st time #U2 have played it at every show IN October since all ten shows in Oct 1984!
@Teresakal She will once she checks her Twitter stream (@U2_ultraviolet), which I’m sure has melted down now!
@ryannichols7 That said I’d pay a lot of money to see Brick/ADWM return, even if the band would look silly doing it.
@u2viti Don’t think that’s Matt singing!
He was a bit of a tease mentioning Two Hearts to the crowd! And imagine if they played Fire today… (I’d love it) https://twitter.com/atu2…
Bono joking about when #U2 played Top of the Pops in the early 80s and their record went down not up in the charts. #U2ieTour
@cqleonardo I’m definitely over it myself, but it’s effective live.
The only other #U2ieTour show at which NYD played (coincidentally Gloria & Elev also in rotations), 2015-09-28: http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2
@chris_rank Yep, absolutely. For me, also The Fly. Saw it at 9 out of 10 Vertigo shows. Loved every one.
Tune into Matt’s Mixlr feed and treat yourself to this rare New Year’s Day performance: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
@atu2 That is correct.
There are some classics you get sick of - but I will never tire of New Year’s Day. Stunning song. #U2ieTour #U2
15. NEW YEAR’S DAY! 2nd performance of tour, back after an absence of 11 shows (or one month). #U2ieTour #U2
Bono talks about how he has a Bosnian passport, after @U2_ultraviolet says she is from Sarajevo. #U2ieTour #U2
Bono is getting @U2_ultraviolet to do Meerkat - but no Meerkat link online yet! #U2ieTour #U2
U2start And @U2_ultraviolet makes it to the e-stage again during Mysterious Ways! Amazing. #U2ieTour https://t.co/WvBU9geTFQ
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Yes - only post-1987 appearance in London (or England) was the Feb 01 Astoria gig.
@JereVenencia13 I suspect a possible guest appearance…
.@Zooropaman @jamesamurray Yes, New Year’s Day’s tour debut (and sole #U2ieTour performance to date) was 28 Sept 15 in Berlin.
11. Invisible opens the 2nd set. Tune in here: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2ieTour #U2
U2Start have posted a spoiler for tonight’s set on their forum and it’s a big one! #673196">http://www.u2start.com/t… #U2ieTour #U2
Intermission time with The Fly over the PA. Full set so far: http://www.u2gigs.com/ar… #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal It’s especially odd since stadium night 3s on Vertigo also got the unpredictable sets! (see Dublin 3!)
UTEOTW has snippets of Love & Peace Or Else and Words.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal I miss when night 3 and 4 meant unpredictable changes in set order.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal It was a good show but a dud night 3 compared to past night 3s. But harbinger of things to come…
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Still bitter about Croke 3 though. After sitting through that soundcheck, to not get E Storm or Drowning Man…
U2start U2 fan Noel Gallagher is also in the house again tonight. Great to see true fans coming back! #U2ieTour/@AlwaysU2 https://t.co/Giz4JMRxT2
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Oh geez. That was the weakest of the three shows in general too!
@adammajorcsik You and me both.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Oh wow that’s cruel, even worse than my record of missing AIWIY.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal It seems everybody’s so busy “will they play it in Belfast?” that they forget Dublin perfs will be charged too.
@redsummer99 @KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Expect NYD tonight and Bad at night 4. THBAO might be night 5 chance though.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I won’t be able to cover Dublin 4, and I’m even a little miffed just about that. Should be a fun show.
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Thank god night 4 gives us something to look forward to at the end. (Though wonder what will happen for London.)
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Oh I don’t doubt it’d be an improvement but that’s like saying being hit by a car is better than hit by a train.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal I’m sure it will, what with this being so static. The reception will be interesting though.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Yeah it was hard to drag myself up at 5am. But the London shows start closer to 8am my time.
@nevri @sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Where is the third intermission video they supposedly have? (I want to know what it is too!)
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal They’ll let SBS fill the role of “topical song we must play”. The Troubles is dead.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Hahaha. I missed chatting with you guys. Been too long since I covered a show!
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney Baffling those two are gone. Maybe Crystal Ballroom for Dublin? Would be fitting.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Yeah if we’re talking about lines that shouldn’t be crossed, IALW is one of them! But agree re: Stay.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Absolutely, and AIWIY also fills the “get someone up to play guitar” role. Even I can play it, FFS!
@sb_wreeldeal @KevinMFeeney I seriously thought OL was going to be a regular of the Euro leg after its Turin performance. Don’t miss it.
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal They could do Desire/AIWIY rather than Desire/Angel on 2nd nights. AIWIY is better song and surely more popular?
Are you listening to Matt’s stream of #U2ieTour London 3? It sounds excellent: http://mixlr.com/u2gigs/ #U2
Bono after I Will Follow: “Very pleased about our residency - we are your house band for the evening.” #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Haha touche. On that note, where the hell has AIWIY gone?
@AntonioMbass I didn’t catch it, sorry.
Bono’s improvising lyrics about “coming here to surrender” before “your eyes make a circle”. #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney @sb_wreeldeal Woah woah some lines shouldn’t be crossed; I’ll take repetition of Elevation over Stuck any day.
Bono introduced I Will Follow as a song #U2 played in every London pub. They sure did play it in heaps of pubs in 1980! #U2ieTour
@KevinMFeeney Yep. Nail one thing, mess up another.
The last time Gloria was played in England? 3 August 1987 in Birmingham (a show with an epic set): http://www.u2gigs.com/sh… #U2ieTour #U2
@KevinMFeeney Slightly depressing huh. I don’t see why each city needs Desire and Elev rotated in twice (or Pride, WOWY, etc. but whatev).

Rare performance of Bad on PopMart https://www.youtube.com/… What gets me is you can barely hear drums/bass, still amazing
