5 concerts, 1 cancelled concert, and 1 various date which was just an Interview. twitter.com/ceewal/status/…

@atu2 Now you folks can pick up the mantle for the 13/26 maths gags. I was worried I was going to run out of material!

That shout-out in Beautiful Day was indeed for @U2Chile! Great stuff! #U2eiTour twitter.com/U2Chile/status…
One ends with a snippet of Invisible. #U2eiTour

23. The encore opens with One. Or, well, with the pre-One speech. #U2eiTour
@Izzylacy93 Every show this tour has begun sometime between 8pm and 8:40 local.
Encore break music, as usual, is Jim O’Rourke’s Women of the World. #U2eiTour

@AntonioMbass Gone on Elevation. Its regularity on the first two legs means that it’s still the most-performed Pop song.

@Maideneer WOULD PAY MANY MONIES FOR THIS.
@AntonioMbass You can have it aaaall to yourself!
@SqueegeeBeck Who knows! Could still appear later…
@Maideneer The only other War song to be performed live since 1985!
If tonight’s surprise ends up being Song for Someone squeezing back into the setlist, I’m asking for my time back. #U2eiTour

Bono at the end of Beautiful Day: “this is our oasis!” No snippets. Not even an Oasis snippet, haha. #U2eiTour
@Maideneer @Almond87 Same can be said for Please, eh. U2 seem very averse to anything from War other than SBS/NYD/40.
@dontgoslideaway I swear, if tonight’s surprise is just playing Beautiful Day two spots later…!
Beautiful Day did not have an extended intro tonight. A much more traditional start. #U2eiTour

5. Gloria, fourth show in a row! #U2eiTour
No snippet of Mother in I Will Follow tonight. #U2eiTour
Bono: “Look what you’ve built out of the desert! Oh my. Your eyes make a circle… we see you when we come in here…” #U2eiTour
@dontgoslideaway Would be much better than what they’ve been doing so far…!
@Almond87 In a Little While x2 replaces Elevation.
Nicely done. twitter.com/atu2/status/99…
Gotta say I’m glad there hasn’t been a spoiler set doing the rounds today, I Will Follow was a nice surprise right there! #U2eiTour
