-

I know, I feel like I'm going but I'm not...
-
very interested to see if they actually start performing right at 730
-
It would be an unusually early start. 8 or just thereafter would make more sense and still leave the show finished well before 11 even with the intermission.
-
Exactly my thinking. I've been to other "evening with" gigs and 8 or 8:30 seem to be the standard.
-
Has it really been 4 years since we last did this?!
Kinda seems like only yesterday but ... boy, I have missed it! 8)
-
You'd have to think 8pm +
-

I didn't really know what to put for that.
U2start has one of these type threads as well that listed 7:30pm, so I went with that. It's mostly to help people with time zones and such. I do agree that 8pm or later makes more sense.

Oh sure, I've seen that going around to so it makes the most sense to put until we know more for certain.

Damn I am excited, watching the Cavs/Bulls on Tv, while doing my Nursing report which is due in 2hrs, while listening to Q104.3 waiting for the live stream, and keeping an eye out on here.

I know where I'd rather be though
-
Hi everyone!
Was out all day at the doctors w/ my mom and my phone notifications from Twitter have been blowing up!! Yikes!
I was wondering about the IHeart LIVE show. It doesn't say livestream and it has an interview first. So, are they going to air the interview and then do the show livestream?

The people right in front are GA. Some of the pictures from the seats show the red zone a little further back and to the side.

Loving the atu2 live Periscope broadcasts! Thanks guys.
-
How does periscope work exactly? Will it just pop up in the app when they go live?
-
Oh lordy, lord, loooordddd, that stage is an absolute BEAUT.
-
The stage is satisfactory.

This view from the nosebleeds looks terrific too!

Can you not move it left a bit?
-
I like that view too! We have nosebleeds for the Chicago show but it looks like the view should still be pretty decent from those seats.
-
I think those seats in the picture are what were called 'restricted view' tickets.
-
I like that view too! We have nosebleeds for the Chicago show but it looks like the view should still be pretty decent from those seats.
Which show? We have GA for night 1 and Section 300 seats for night 2.
The only restriction is not seeing the video screens, possibly?
-
A bit to the right and you won't see Adam's drum kit
-
Restricted view tickets were for sale at £55 at the O2 in London.

July 2. I think we're up in Section 305 or somewhere in that area. We're in the veeeeerrryyyy back---any further and we'd be out in the parking lot. ^_^
Arena seats are usually okay no matter where you are. These photos are making things look better and better.
-
What's odd is that at NYC, one of my shows is in the end 200s and it does not say Restricted View. Wondering if there's something else we don't know as to why the 300s are Restricted View.
Atu2 tweeted that with 30mins. to showtime the floor is only HALF FULL and seats QUARTER full!
What?! Are they slow getting people in?
-
Most are probably still down at the pub.
-
As has been noted, it *is* pretty early for a start, even assuming they're a little late.
-
Could we get some pictures of that new PA system Bono keeps bragging about? :)
-
NOTHING has been done on Meerkat, so I'm watching the Periscope feed through iTunes on my Windows computer. ;)
Can you tell me how to access that, please?
I just followed the link and it loaded onto my iTunes, I think. Sorry, I just saw this post, I have too many media devices going! lol
-
Yeah, I'm there. So, I can buy it even though I have Windows?
-
Only 1600 GA!
-
just got back from Mad Max. ready for the first live setlist party in 4 years!!1
Only 1600 GA!
woah
-
Explains why they sold out so fast every time. I can't get over how close everywhere in GA seems to be!
-

There are lots posted on AtU2's Twitter :)
-
Official U2 twitter just tweeted "1 hour: Countdown to Innocence + Experience tour." I guess they are starting at 8:30 PST instead of 7:30 PST?

Weird. That might explain why Q104.3 said they'll interview the Bono and The Edge at 11, just before the show.
-
Bono woke up late from a nap?
-
8:30 makes a lot more sense.
-
At 11:30 am today, I had GA tickets for TONIGHT's show in my Ticketmaster cart. Don't forget to check for GAs once the stage is in. I follow a few places on Twitter and that's how I found about it. I was so close to flying to Vancouver yesterday. Even this am, the last flight from here at 7:30am would have gotten me to Vancouver at 1pm. Sigh...
-
I think a lot of people are presuming there's going to be a opening act and are taking their sweet time.

West coast, slower pace 8)

COME!! I have an extra hotel room right there for July 29-Aug. 1 and I kept it just in case. It's a single queen bed room. I booked another hotel with two queen beds. My daughter is now coming for the 31st, but her friend lives on Staten Island, so she may be staying with him that night and going to the beach the next day. We are definitely going to the party and the last two shows as well as the first two shows. Then I still have tickets for the 27th...
Just took the Guinness out of the freezer. I'll got put it back in since it's another 15 mins. for the livestream! ;)
-
106.7 FM in Detroit's also one of the stations carrying the show live. You might even be able to pick their signal up in Cleveland if the weather's right.
Probably be better off finding a local station, though.
-
I'm listening live online, but if I were in the car, I'd definitely want to know where those iHeart stations are on the dial! ;)
-
Any other ways of listening without having to use iHeart?
-
is there another stream available for european countries? :(
-
I'm hoping a video stream may come about. I was watching one on Periscope for a while, but it ended :(
-
U2 Brasil says there are livestreaming - http://www.u2br.com/portal/
-
Matt said they won't be tweeting from the show, most likely, and I thought that included Periscope too?

This person is streaming from the show?
If so I'll add it to the front post.
-
Yes, U2 Brasil. Guy Oseary was just with them. Apparently, Guy's wife is Brazilian!
-
It's live now. Joy Division playing now at the arena. ♥

love will tear us apart again 8)

Yep, perfect! :)

-
U2 time!!!
-
They're interviewing Bono now! :D
-
Hype levels...rising.... :D
-
I'm wondering if anyone's using Meerkat to stream the show?
-
Listening on radio - yay!
-
They're interviewing Bono now! :D
I know. Is this live? I thought it was recorded?! Aaahhh!
It's live! They are playing The Clash Should I Stay!
-
Hope they do SBS early...I need to use the 'loo.
-
The crowd sounds energetic out there! Should be a great show.

Oseary is interviewing fans about how to improve GA entry!
-
WHAT TIME IS IT IN THE WORLD?! 8)
-
AHHHH I need a stream, stupid iHeart radio wont let me make an account and the app isnt available in my country
-
Apparently its only the first couple songs.
-
Masterful answer from Bono.
HELLO HELLO!!!
-
just the first couple of songs on radio?
OK, I'll take what I can get.
-
http://www.iheart.com/live/q1043-1465/ Listen online - I don't think they are doing all the songs, though.
-
Just the first few. Ugh.
-
They said they're only broadcasting the first couple songs. I was hoping for more. :(
-
Just the first few. Ugh.
SH*T! :-X

Damn, I really hope another, reliable stream pops up.
-
Oh shut up about the Apple thing Mr. DJ!!
-
Damn, I really hope another, reliable stream pops up.
Hey, you didn't get the asterisk in that!
-
Damnn Only 2.
Ill take what I get.
But still TWO.
At least opening 5 or something.
So Did B basically confirm Vertigo is the opener?
-
They could come on at ANY SECOND I'M SO EXCITED
-
I'm surprised U2.com isn't streaming it, especially for subscribers. They initially acted like they might but I don't see anything about it listed now.
-
337 people on @U2 right now.
-
This is as close as I'll get this year, so I'll take it.
-
Wonder what we'll get up to in people online. Barcelona 09 set the record until the Superbowl.
-
Any time now.
God imagine Being in That GA..... ughh
-
Pity Q1043.4 are only broadcasting a couple of songs, but it's better than nothing.
-
WOWY on air now.
-
U2 Brasil was just back on for a second.
-
screw GA - best seats for a show like this are in the stands at center ice, 6 rows up.
-
U2 Brasil is back!http://mixlr.com/sil-rigote/
-
It would be pretty brave to let them do a full show broadcast of the opening night given the potential for gremlins and mistakes!
-
screw GA - best seats for a show like this are in the stands at center ice, 6 rows up.
That's what Matt said right from the start. 4x the cost, though.
-
so much for them taking the stage at 7.30.
-
I'm just sitting at home and even I'm shaking with excitement. Just goes to show how much this band means to us and what a big event these tours have become.:)

Excited for my Row 3 aisle seat by the e(?) stage in a few weeks myself, but yeah, center isn't bad either!
-
Please don't go again, U2 Brasil...
-
Here. We. Go..
Seconds

8:30 is a reasonable start time

Damn, Edge and Adam crushed those opening chords.
-
OH YEAH
-
THAT SMASHING DRUMS AND GUITAR
-
turn up the drums!
-
I've got audio on the Periscope!!!
-
Most beautiful sound I ever heard
Edge.. Adz and Larry absolutely Feroucious
Wow
-
Sounds like they changed the key that The Miracle is played in. Huh.
-
This works great as an opener, my doubts are gone.
Out of Control!
-
Out of Control.
-
Out of Control! :D

Out of Control ;D

I need to hear this at MSG

Out of Control! :D
/faint

What a glorious, glorious day!!! 8)
Out of Control!
-

Probably just a half-step or a full-step down from the studio. Easier on Bono's voice. They do that with a lot of their songs -- Bad, SBS, Angel of Harlem, etc.
-
out of control!
-
OH YEAAAH
OUT OF CONTROLLLL
-
Still on Miracle here.
-
Yay! Out Of Control is back!
-
For some reason, I prefer the audience recording to the radio stream. Makes me feel like I'm there :)

-
Gotta love The Miracle >>> Out of Control to start the show!
-
Edge is shredding!
-
Amazing intro! Great mistakes from edge and bono too!
-
who else is singing along?
-
That piano intro only makes the crushing guitar intro of Miracle even better.
-
YES THEY ARE STAYING WITH IT
-
That piano intro only makes the crushing guitar intro of Miracle even better.
The contrast is awesome. Hope they keep doing it that way :)
-
I KNEW they were gonna play Out of Control!!!!
-
Vertigo!!!!!
-
Vertigo
That intro waas ON FLEEK
WOW
GOING CRAZY IN MY LOUNGE RIGHT NOW

Larry has a really tight snare tonight.
Um... false start? Vertigo anywho.
-
Bono: fond of counting.
-

rilly doe. Adam and Edge sounded even meaner against that intro.
-
Hilarious cover up on vertigo!
-
Goodness. Even Vertigo is popping tonight.
-
Vertigo... a good crunching song, if not from the right era (Boy-War or SOI), not a bad fit at all.
-
This. Is. Insane.
-
Bono: fond of counting.
Mildly
-
i'm losing audio... is that Vertigo they're playing? ???
The feed keeps going out for me too. Anyone have a better one they're using?

Well that's tonight's first night screw up out of the way? Right?

iHeartRadio gives and iHeartRadio takes away....
-
The stream's working a bit better now. Hopefully it stays this way for a while.
-
Good Quality video stream

U2 twitter says a fan did one of the countdowns on vertigo http://www.u2.com/tour/date/id/45561312

So glad I caught those four songs! Such a tease.
-
I've been snapchatted and posted. Oh well! Thanks, girls.

This one is working good!
-
Brasil link is working kind of.
-
"I guess the experiment works!" - Bono 8)
-
Since Vertigo's bridge is a riff on Stories for Boys, a nod in the vocals could have arguably tied it more to the "innocence" theme, but not bad choices for the opening songs. The band sounds great -- Bono, not quite 100 percent, and I still haven't warmed to the new songs live -- but it sounds like the fans are getting a good show tonight.
-
The meerkat stream is working pretty well. Just a little in and out
-
omgg IRIS
-
Oh yes, IRIS! My favorite on the new record.
-
IRIS!!!!
-
Iris is the best song on SOI. so glad it's getting played live
-
Bizarre decision to place a Bono monologue between IWF and Iris; thematically connected AND it slows things down before the new stuff, the opposite of what you want.
-
now this is more like it!
-
Missed IRIS :(
WOWY Now

Dear God Bono why
-

-
he's climbing a ladder to the screen. awesome
Where are you listening? Meerkat died. It's Back!!!
-
The screen looks mental, does it run all the way down the b stage?
-
Man the new songs sound great live. Really can't wait for LA in two weeks.
-
Edge coming down the catwalk!
-
Hello Edge!
-
This sounds awesome too. One of my favs from SOI

That stage looks pretty sweet!

-
Periscope is more reliable, but doesn't yet have an android app. Ugh
-
Some of the Tweeted pics on U2.com look amazing. I just wish we had reliable audio to go with them.
-
Edge overpowered the stream with his catwalk performance!
-
The screen seems to have some cool utilization to it.
-
alright now the search for another stream begins!
-
He was in the screen!! https://instagram.com/p/2sCYwTg4Zs/

The stream ended so I guess I don't have any more excuses to stay awake :'( Enjoy the night y'all

Cedarwood and SFS sounded AWESOME. SBS sounds good too
-

Acoustic SBS is actually a pretty good idea. makes it more of a sing a long atmosphere.

Quite like this take on the song actually. Lacks some force, but they have other rockers
-
I love this more acoustic version. A nice twist on a classic. Just listen to that guitar!

Raised by Wolves is next!
-
Some kind of news broadcast just followed a series of beeps. Maybe the sound of a bomb going off? Very powerful image that fits in well with the new arrangement.
-
Wolves!!
-
OMG!!!!!!
-
Raised by Wolves
-
This video transition
Holy crap.
SBS-Raised by Wolves is incredible.
-
anyone have video?
-
pretty intense intro to wolves
-
Thought 1 on that segue - Woah
Thought 2 - A Troubles-themed section of the show is an excellent chance to reflect on how incredibly dumb it is that they refuse to resurrect Please. :p

Wolves is best live SOI song yet!
-
Just listening gives me goosebumps.
-
Raised by Wolves sounds amazing live!
-
So this tour emotionally is miles above 360.
I like it!
-
Anyway to make the video not sideways?
-
SBS into Wolves is incredible
-
silly question guys, but is there a way to rotate the screen from the stream? my necks gonna be sore otherwise ;)
-
The first set is SO well paced and selected; perfect selection of classics and thematic placing. This one's gonna last.
-
Anyway to make the video not sideways?
I'm tilting my laptop sideways :D
-
anyone have a picture of the 'lightbulb'?
-
The flow and intensity of this show is unbelievable. They weren't kidding when they said the first half would be dark and heavy.
-
UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD.
-
UTEOTW
-
Then he wound up on the e stage! Until the End of the World!
-
loving this first set. the flow is perfect

I'm tilting my laptop sideways :D
Unfortunately my cords are on that side so its hard! Flow is incredible. As someone who plays shows and is always trying to make a great flowing setlist, its excellent. Should we expect a Bono and Edge fight during UTEOTW?
-
"don't climb the f#$king ladder bono"
;D ;D ;D
heart.in.mouth
-
Edge is tearing it up!
-
So reports from rehearsals say Edge ends this with an awesome solo, lets see if that is right.
-
THE VISUALS ARE CRAZY!!!!!!!!
-
Screen looks insane!
-
So far this is worth the crick I'm going to have in my neck in the morning.
-
First song they ever heard / First single / Early, more innocent rock and roll / First love / Childhood on Cedarwood Road / War and Innocence shattered.
I mean, it's all there.
-
THAT TONE ON EDGE'S SOLO.
Oh yes!!
-
Sounds like Edge is playing a bit of that sustained solo from rehearsals.
-
So far this is worth the crick I'm going to have in my neck in the morning.
LOL!
Am I spoiling this for myself? Aaaahhh! 23 days to Denver!

Do you think it's intermission or shut down?

try ctrl-alt-arrowkey

No one has really mentioned the sound clarity, but it seems spectacular as well.
-
It's hard to tell what's going on. Is this a video or intermission that's currently playing?
-
Video playing during intermission.
-
I lost both feeds. Where is everybody seeing this right now. Thanks.
-
I thought I heard Derek say "I'll be back" to the person next to him right as it cut out!
-
It's hard to tell what's going on. Is this a video or intermission that's currently playing?
WHERE are you listening?
-
Derek confirmed he's taking a break, so the periscope feed will be back after the intermission!

Intermission; Derek said he'd be back before it cut out.
-
INVISIBLE

-
This show has been incredible. Dereks feed is the best, but man, I'm pumped for Montreal!!! I have GA's, but I most certainly will be staying in the middle, well back of the stage. Those visuals are simply incredible.
-
So happy Invisible made the cut. Can't wait to hear that live. Gonna be such a rocker. Will be screaming at the top of my lungs.
-
Invisible is too good!!
-
So Periscop will feature something when its back>

Man what a lineup so far. I'm pumped for this show two nights in a row in LA.
-
I am ecstatic that the kickass 360 EBTTRT is back; didn't get to see it last time.
-
Larry using electronic kit for Real Thing, nice
-
I like the original version o EBTTRT so much more, lol
-
EBTTRT is still killing it. amazing visuals
-
The way they are using this screen is awesome.
-
Larry using electronic kit for Real Thing, nice
Oh that actually totally makes sense. Terry Lawless still gets his little synth solos!

In terms of Technology used at their shows, ZooTV has a new challenger. I think this bumps down the Claw and PopMart screen.

1500 of us are watching Derek's Periscope!! ♥
-
I think this little E stage section is replacing the acoustic section idea.
-
I missed Invisible- my daughter needed help with something urgently. But I assume it was the exact same drums as the rest of this set? I.e not electronic?
-
Always great to see Desire make a return. :)

Full band desire is about a hundred times rarer than NYD post-92.

Bono is sounding in great form today. It's great to see the boys back doing what they do best.

Oh my goodness, you are starting to sound really selfish mate. "When you see them as much as I have." How spoilt are you? Just keep your complaints to yourself. Unbelievable.
Some of us have only seen them a few times in our lives. You have very selfish first world problems.

EBW into Bullet time!

This thread has been really positive until you joined the party. I am sure there are songs that I would want to hear as well, but please try to keep the negativity to another thread. This is about the current live setlist as it is being played.
-
What's in the secret compartment?
its a piano
-
now were talking with EBW!!
-
This is gonna be epic as all hell
-
I guess the piano for sweetest thing will lead into the mini orchestra section?
-
Here comes the awesome EBW/Bullet duo!
-
How will edge get from the piano to the guitar that fast?
-
EBW into Bullet time!
This is what I'm most excited for! I hope either One Step Closer or Running To Stand Still is played after Bullet.
-
now were talking with EBW!!
Shhh.
-
1800 on Periscope! Yay! Derek!!!
-
Bono's pipes!!! Nice dip in the vocals there!!
-
I'm still not getting anything on Periscope.
-
Fantastic version for the first 2/3 , but Bono's voice couldn't quite meet that climax.
I'm also a bit disappointed they don't have Adam and Larry joining in part-way through.
-
Yee Bullet the Blue Sky now.
Wow.
-
Yay Derek! Do we know Derek? Send him Guinness!
-
Love the transition!
-
Adam showing off that bass playing!
-
Bullet, like a racehorse, is better for the spell.
-
This is the one they were rehearsing the most, in particular the ending rant.
-
I'm still not getting anything on Periscope.
I had to get it from the twitter link
-
Have we heard an orchestra?
-
Search Dj Scotty Evil for a periscope feed
-
Nope, no strings.
The EBW - Bullet transition was pretty good, but it took too long for Edge to get to his guitar to have QUITE the impact it might have. Still great.
-
Fantastic version for the first 2/3 , but Bono's voice couldn't quite meet that climax.
yep, agree. don't like that version at all.
-
Is it just me or why is the crowd so freaking still thru all this epic ness???

Bullet sounds amazing!!!

Phones take away the vibe. Too busy taking video and pics. But we are reaping the benefits on Periscope right now so I won't complain!
-
Hands That Built America.
*dies*
-
PRIDE!!!!! MY FAV U2 SONG!!!!
-
Great transition
-
Amazing, wowowow ...
what was that rant all about thoug?
Anyone make it out?
Pride now.
This has been quite the journey
-
He sounded great on Hands!
-
Zoo TV Running would be amazing right there.
-
After a kick ar*e first 10-12 songs to this....
:(
-
Quite a break from the usual Bullet / Sad Song combo.
-
Is it just me or why is the crowd so freaking still thru all this epic ness???
coz they're all filming on their phones.
Is Europe like that?
Not seen em in Europe. They are in Australia to an extent.
South America, Spain or Italy seem to be the places to be :-)
-
snippet..but fairly long
-
Where are the hands that built America? Where are the hands to rebuild America?
An interesting statement.
-
The Hands That Built! Is it a snippet or a full song?
Snippet
-

Wait, wouldn't they play The Troubles after Hands?
-
Wait, wouldn't they play The Troubles after Hands?
They rehearsed that.
-
OK, Pride isn't better for the break. Great song but he can't sing it anymore.
-
No, this is about Ferguson and Baltimore, tell the story, Bono. Tell it! ♥
-
was Desire the real version or the acoustic crap?
-
Hands is actually a really nice segue from Bullet; I hope they do the full song at some point, though I wouldn't count on it.
was Desire the real version or the acoustic crap?
Full electric!
-
It will be interesting to see what is different tomorrow night
-
Great screen
Only if you're on the sides
-
was Desire the real version or the acoustic crap?
Full band man.
-
was Desire the real version or the acoustic crap?
Full Band!
-
Please do Troubles!
-
compromise.
-
I'm not sure about the rumors of them mixing up the second set from night to night...It's already full of some live staples and we haven't even heard Streets, Beautiful Day, One, or WOWY.
Not complaining though! They sound great!

I'm on Derek still, 2k.
-
Yeah I suspect this will be more static than we'd been led to believe. A lot of these are clearly carefully chosen and structured.
Still, seven new songs so far.
-
Pride is one of the only songs where I think the studio version triumphs.
-
The troubles
-
troubles!
-
TROUBLES!!!!!!
-
So excited to hear troubles live!
-
Now THIS will be interesting.
-
The Troubles
-
yES!!!
-
Pride is one of the only songs where I think the studio version triumphs.
I agree.
-
I'm not sure about the rumors of them mixing up the second set from night to night...It's already full of some live staples and we haven't even heard Streets or Beautiful Day.

And there's The Troubles!
-
best song of the second set. The Troubles.
-
Mic?
-
Troubles.
Excuse me while I explode into happiness.
-
Pride is one of the only songs where I think the studio version triumphs.
I agree.
Definitely agree but still good live
-
Where's Lykke
-
THE TROUBLESSSSSSS GAHHH
-
Troubles.
Excuse me while I explode into happiness.
I cannot wait for this one!
-
I suspect that this will be the first SoI song to go, but I certainly hope it stays.
-
I have to get up at 4:45. How am I going to sleep tonight!
-
I'm so glad they decided to do this one live.
-
I suspect that this will be the first SoI song to go, but I certainly hope it stays.
best song on the album. Would have been a good closer.
-
I wonder if they have Lykke in a video on the screen?
-
Yo crowd -SING!
-
I have to get up at 4:45. How am I going to sleep tonight!
Like a baby? ;)
-

My second favourite! Unsure on it as a closer though; might have reproduced the MoS problem and gotten a lot of people heading for the exits.
-
Good time to pee for me. Never liked this song.
-
Nice one!

Anyone else suffering from this, like me?

So about 5-6 songs to go hey?
-
Edge is doing some nice guitar on this one!
-
Yo crowd -SING!
Honestly! Everyone got a free copy of the album and they're not singing the new songs?! Plus they used this one for The Walking Dead promos!
-
where's the band on Troubles..is it backing track?
-

I'd guess five.

REALLY NICE, The Edge!! ♥
-
Thank goodness no. I'm playing it on my iPad and I'm straight on
-
THAT SOLO
LORD HAVE MERCY ON ME
FUDDGFGGGEEEEE
-
2nd set bono is only on that e stage... take notice for you future GAers
-
WOWY!!!!
-
Great little solo by Edge at the end of The Troubles.
-
Ok, the Troubles was great but they don't know how to end it.

WOWY
hmmmmm
-

Awesome!
-
I'm guessing WOWY, City, beautiful, miracle drug, streets, haven't found to finish? Any other surprises? No One?!
-
Good time to pee for me. Never liked this song.
WOWY now...I guess it's time for my pee break. :P
-
I really don't mind which songs they choose to play.
I would like to see more Songs of Innocence as the tour progresses though. I'd still like to see California and Volcano if they can see their way.
You can never complain about the classics though.... as With or without you rolls in....
-
So about 5-6 songs to go hey?
I'd guess five.
should be
With or Without You (new outro?)
City of Blinding Lights
Beautiful Day
Where the Streets Have No Name
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
-

No Elevation so far.
-
where's the band on Troubles..is it backing track?
They are on the main stage. Bono has been on the e stage for basically the whole second set except for some of bullet.
-
No spoken word!!
YAY!
-
e stage! Bono 2nd half!!
-
Good time to pee for me. Never liked this song.
WOWY now...I guess it's time for my pee break. 
How? This is a thousand times better than The Troubles.

Seven is pretty standard; they rehearsed California a lot so it'll definitely be played.
I remain stunned that they haven't played Volcano. I wouldn't expect TIWYCRMN or SLABT at any point but you never know I guess....
-
Would be a lovely touch if they closed with Kite
-
More SOI
-
Actually, even though i can turn my iPhone sideways (old school technology), my only real complaint is that you can't get periscope on the iPad, which would make for a bigger screen. But then again, how many of you are lucky enough to be streaming this on an iPhone 6 plus?
-

Volcano would be nice
More louder

I have a feeling they'll debut California once they get to San Jose on the 18th.
-
Until the end of my days, I will not understand why they end 90% of the time after the second break in WOWY and don't go back into another chorus afterwards.
-
Fingers crossed for Reach Me Now to open the encore
-
I am really loving this set list. Yes, it is a little safe, but I love how the new songs are mixed into the set list so far and like Bono said, they seem to stand on their own against some of the war horses. Watching WOWY and the crowd seems to be really into it, for me I could live without it, but still love the song. They are saying goodnight, so let's see what happens next.
-
awesome stuff

All I would want added definitely would be california and volcano.
I know that others want crystal ballroom and sleep like a baby, so for your sake I want those too.
-
city of blinding lights for the encore is my guess
-
Incidentally, AtU2 should team up and buy this Derek on periscope a car or something. :P

Of all of those, only California has been rehearsed so I wouldn't get TOO excited about the others!
-
I hope Derek is following them on tour!
Derek is awesome! (I'm assuming you mean the Periscoper?)
-
I genuinely thought they'd play 11 O'clock tick tock tonight.
Not being funny. I really did.

Haters gon' hate

Note: only 2 songs played from 2000-2010.

I feel so jaded when they play the same old songs. :/

So late in the show for Beautiful Day
-
CIty of boring lights
I do LOVE that this forum isnt full of kool-aid drinkers...
-
So, dilemma, do I watch tomorrow night too? ::)
-
Some of these songs seem out of place. Beautiful day at the end? Feels weird.

Yeah, this must be easily the latest BD ever. Will also be the latest SHF

Beautiful Day

Feels like to contrast the beginning, they play the bright happier sounding songs near the end.

Still watching on the phone. Periscope loaded on the iPad, but I am having log in problems. Oh well.
-
What's the closer
-
Love Edge's 1976 Gibson Explorer on BD.
-
I'm thinking they will rotate city and miracle drug. The Stephen Hawkins but was supposed to lead into miracle drug according to B.

I think they close with 'streets'
-
Real question left is whether they do MD or go straight into Streets.
I really, really hope they don't try BD / Streets or a break into Streets.
-
this is really awesome that we're all watching opening night from all over the world LIVE...crazy
It truly is amazing and to chat about it with everyone while watching makes it more fun!

Probably too busy. :)

No Derek!! Don't go

Yeah, this segue.... no.
They need to fix this stat.

Streeeetssssss
-
Hang in there Derek! sTreeets!
-
Come on Derik/battery! Stay with us!!!
-
dammit, fields of gold would of worked great. I hope they bring it back

Brazil is still broadcasting but it's spotty.

As segues to Streets goes, that's down with Pride and Desmond Tutu among the all-time worst, by far. I can't imagine it lasts.

Matt, Sherry, Beth, find Derek and interview him! He's awesome!!! Thank him for us!
What is Bono doing w/ these Streets' lyrics?
-
I think Bono just rewrote Streets on the fly.
-
They know how much the segue matters though; that's why the Tutu one was scrapped on 360. This was obviously thrown together when they couldn't make Miracle Drug / Fields of Gold work, so I'm sure it's temporary.

Streets always, always takes me there.
GOD LOVE YALLL

What he did to them when they played Glastonbury.
-
So the snippet was "Mother and Child reunion" by Paul Simon. Leading into Streets this makes so much sense..,... "see you in heaven Mum". So beautiful.
-
California debuts as a snippet in Streets!
-
and close with 40???
-
He said the verse he rewrote for Glastonbury "we slip and slide in the mud, the love and the lust. Naked souls, in the rain. Where the streets have no name."
-
They're NOT DONE!!!
MORE! Scream people, maybe they'll hear us! ;) ♥

THEY HAVE RECLAIMED THEIR THROWN

that he's always with us...

Thanked him, said he'd always be a part of them.
I'm sure the conspiracy theorist people will be along to tell us what this means in secret.
-
Oh ..
What did he say about Paul M?
That he will always be with them

Bono's singing Edge's part in the chorus! Love it, his voice has somehow gotten better and better all night.

And the spiritual hunger goes on.... Still haven't found...
(C.S Lewis- the Pilgrim's Regress; desire is needed for true spiritual fulfilment.)

guess no ONE tonight...interesting
-
Also LOL at Bono's little 'Oh we were gonna end there but one more'. Yeah right Bono, we have internet. :P
-

Me too Buddy, me too. That day will come
-
so it was an energetic greatest hits set.......after playing 6-7 from the new record. Much more predictable than I expected.....
-
guess no ONE tonight...interesting
This would be the first concert since its debut where One isn't played.
-
Bono singing this really well!
-
I can't tell whether it was an exciting set list or not— but they're back and rocking it!

They thank Paul in the tour program, at the top of the page, FIRST!! ♥

so it was an energetic greatest hits set.......after playing 6-7 from the new record. Much more predictable than I expected.....
Er... 8 actually.
Can we stop pretending that almost every U2 show ever isn't 70% greatest hits, 25% new stuff and 5% rarities? I agree it's annoying they've cut the 5 this time but/...
-
And now the post mortem :)
-
That seems to be it then? If there is something else now it will be a surprise.
-
now well see what tomorrow brings
-
Awesome!! Thank you Derek!!
-
Connection down...
-
I believe they will get more creative as the tour sets in and they get more comfortable.
-
that's quite a lame way to end a big show... great show and then the ending...blah
-
THE STREAM IS DOWN WHAT'S HAPPENING ????
-
Oh God these last 2.5 hrs have been insane.
My lounge room/kitchen and bedroom was turned into an arena, going crazy, jumping on furniture, clapping along, singing till my hearts content. God bless these boys, my babies are back ontop of the thrown.

was that 2 hrs 15 mins?
-
What an awesome day this is!!!
Thanks again for making us happy, U2!!! 8)

Yes, well if we all chip in to buy him a second phone.... but I don't think he would want to do that at every show he goes too. Still it was fantastic.

Goodnight everyone!
-
Great first show. Now I can't wait to see what changes for the second night. But so far I'm excited. Love the stage setup and the screen is perfect. Sound seems like it will be incredible in person. Can't freaking wait to see it in person.
-
Would have loved 40 as a closer but can't complain. I'll take any songs from U2.
-
One has missed a show for the first time. I guess Bono's guitar is more important than we realized.
-
So on the whole, pretty good. First set was quite a lot better though, I think; better pacing, really well structured, better use of the stage space and awesome integration of the new material.
Second set not bad but will need a bit of work.
Priority #1 though - fix that Streets segue!
-
and that's that.
Great to have them back but it felt a little bit like an Elevation show to me. Not due to song selections but just never getting to a really good highpoint. A little bit disjointed. Hopefully they fix this up as the tour progresses.
Thematically... just not really anywhere near as coherent or concise as I thought it might be. A bit busky at times. Lacked a real kick in the guts, but they're up and about. That's good.
From sat in my study on a Friday afternoon in Melbourne, I'd say 3.5 stars and onwards and upwards.
-
im disappointed the brought BTBS back and won't loose ISHF, WOWY, Pride.
GREAT to see the REAL Desire played.
-
Well, this has been fun. Now, if you all will excuse me, I have to go make an appointment with the chiropractor to fix my neck. Worth it.

Not bad for the first show. Some safe song choices but they will certainly mix up the setlist during the tour.
-
I posted this earlier, but to me it was a pretty safe set list, but I loved it. I think the new songs sounded great and I am sure stuff like California, Volcano will make it in. I just think for the 1st night, they wanted to ensure that things went well (a few hiccups here and there) overall. I loved what I could hear and cannot wait for the L.A. Shows!
The Boys are back!
-
The first set was actually incredibly thematic. Much more so than i expected. The second was basically a mini normal U2 show. I think the second one will either tighten up or become even more loose with more different songs thrown in as it goes along, which is probably what we want actually.
-
Add more to Hands That Build America. Bono sounds awesome on that!

I agree. Make the first set a bit longer with more Songs of Innocence. Second set play what ever they want.

Tbf to the Boys I completely understand why they play these classics. Its only bloody thing that gets crowd going. So of course they'll stick to that safety net

Very impressed with the production (best as I could see it online) and set list overall but damn it'll be a shame if "Crystal Ballroom" and "Volcano" don't get played on this tour. Would have thought both were sure things.

Thats true. That part will probably stay for sure. Although I really really wanted to hear the opening notes of RTSS after Bullet. Especially with this stage they could do the zoo tv version so well.

OK what is UP with Miracle Drug? It's clearly gotten enormous rehearsal, yet made it to neither rehearsal and not tonight - despite getting what was obviously meant to be the speech leading into it!
Though that explains the terrible Streets lead-in.

Playing Sunday Bloody Sunday from tonight
They are not playing anything from the actual concert. They are just playing the set list from original or previous live recordings. Many stations do this after U2 shows, they will write down the set list and 20-30 min after the show they will play the set list from recording/live recording of older shows etc. Nothing from the gig tonight is being aired.

Yo...my lil sis was @ school and missed I heart Radio 3 song starter, can anyone link me to it?

Some songs I couldn't hear due to bad stream, but I liked a lot what I heard tonight. Way better than 360 tour and really badass. Some lows too, but they are fixable. Oh, btw, GREAT sound system! Great stage too. I'm loving it!
To the review...
First: great concert!
What's the best moment? Idk, but, from what I could watch, maybe Invisible or Raised by Wolves or Until The End of The World or the whole first set. The first set is awesome!! And then Invisible is awesome!!
But everytime they played the greatest hits in sequence, not interacting with the new songs, something felt wrong. My excitement dropped a lot in the second set. That's why I think they should keep some big hits, but put more SOI (soul) between them.
The encore, even with Streets, was not that good. Really. And I'm not against happy endings, but they didn't reach "there".
So, please, more SOI! I think the SOI songs were the highlight of the night and the missing ones would do a really good job too, all of them and TCB and Lucifer's Hands. Of course not all in the same night (although I'd like that), but at least 9 SOI songs per night.
About the execution of the songs: the sound system is awesome, the band did very well and Bono's voice is good nowadays, BUT... he must stop with the weird singing on some parts. Bono tries to overinterpretate the songs, to be emotional, but what's supposed to be feelings sounds dull and musically doesn't work very well.
Also, some songs felt rushed, like they should have rehearsed more. Also, I missed a lot of riffs in the start of some songs and that's bad. Music should breath and walk step by step to show its beauty.

You are spot on. They are being too safe. Time to take risks and fight to convince the crowd.
A safe "pass" but not a show that blows you away. I did enjoy it though.

Yeah, I hope he didn't sprain his ankle or something. I would say by his face that he wasn't seriously injured. If he did a minor injury (I hope not), he may have to have injections. But I think he will be ok, and we will no for certain by tomorrow.

Just my 2 cents, too many SOI songs, I'm not a die hard by any means but the kinda went over in a meh way. It was back loaded with hits but it could use a couple less.

The first section was great! Most of the encore songs were not in the correct spot; except they ripped up Streets and Beautiful Day. The second set definitely needs some changes. But, overall a really good show, great production and it should only get better. I liked the production and screen stuff A LOT more in the first section. Excellent effort by the boys (especially Larry given the circumstances).

Would've liked to have seen ballroom instead of mw. Mw and pride honestly were meh. Everything else was great. Was expecting Steven hawking to appear for miracle drug as Bono mentioned

It was quite a long intro, I almost wondered if they were going to launch full scale into Mofo, but it did make sense as an intro. "Mother, am I still your son...."

Seems like almost a Joshua Tree-era thing with EBW thrown in the middle. Though I don't get why Sweetest Thing is around at all. It just seems odd (probably because it's the "rare" song).

Had a great view from the last row of the lower bowl, right in the middle of the arena. Thoughts:
-First, please give Willie Williams all the stage design awards. Even with the high bar set by three decades of U2 stagecraft, I was completely blown away. When you arrive it seems like a typical stage with a B-state and a catwalk, along with a big-ass screen above the catwalk. Nothing too flashy. But I can't even begin to lay out all the tricks they squeezed out of their limited space. The screen/catwalk set up is mesmerizing. I counted FIVE different drum set ups for Larry!! Honestly the main stage almost seems like an afterthought.
-The Ligthing: too brilliant for words. Wait til you see City of Blinding Lights.
-The animation, particularly the stuff that accompanied the SOI songs was fantastic. The lack of familiarity with the new songs could make the crowd lose interest, but the animation, particularly on Iris and Cedarwood Road kept the crow rapt.
-Just so many little things going on, with the phone video feed, the light bulb hanging over the stage at the beginning. Lots to keep you paying attention.
-The live phone "FaceTime" with the member of the audience is a total callback to ZOO TV, so if they're going to do it, they might as well reprise Trying to Throw Your Arms In Your World. I love you, boys, but please never play The Sweetest Thing again.
Issues: If you have a seat at either end of the arena, you're kinda screwed re seeing the visuals. Surprised they didn't add a screen at each end, particularly for the folks behind the main stage. At least the folks at the end near the B-stage get a lot of action there.
-Edge messed up a couple of times during Out of Control, and Adam was totally out to lunch on City of Blinding Lights, missing several chord changes. I laughed out loud it was so rough. Obviously they'll sort that stuff out.
Setlist: Agreed with other comments so far. The first set is very coherent. Starting with the Ramones walk-on music, the entire thing screemed "The Ramones gave us our start." Quick, energetic songs. Not often you see BOTH Out of Control and I Will Follow in the same setlist!
The second set was, well, a bit of a mess. Starting with Invisible. It's my favourite song from them in years, but when it starts you don't even know it's them playing because they're all in the screen/catwalk and you can't see them. Feels like it could be just the track. The confusion meant the crowd didn't get into the song until close to the end. The rest of the set just went all over the place.
The encore was a pretty typical U2 encore, but the songs felt out of order. The Simon & Garfunkel lead-in to Streets kinda clanked. Oh, and boy was the end of the show awkward with Edge's fall. Bono tried to keep the crowd singing but then they kind just rushed off.
I think the setlist leaned more towards their more rock-heavy tracks, so if there's going to be a different vibe for night two, I'm thinking they'll play their more vibe-y stuff: Bad, One, Unforgettable Fire, Running to Stand Still, maybe One Tree Hill.
The show is incredibly-well staged and I'm sure they'll get the setlist sorted. It was actually fascinating to seem them less polished than we're used to.
Last note: Poor Dallas Schoo. Dude looked STRESSED OUT. Constantly tuning, running on stage to tweak things, making sure Edge has enough power cord when he's plugged in and wandering around. I got tired just watching him!

Just my 2 cents, too many SOI songs, I'm not a die hard by any means but the kinda went over in a meh way. It was back loaded with hits but it could use a couple less.
If there are too many casual fans, then they need to get the venues down to a size where everyone is excited about the new material. It's a real shame that people are complaining about Songs of Innocence, they were the highlights of the show, the hits were lacklustre.

Edge is okay. A few others have posted they saw the fall or they talked with Edge as he walked out. He's good. I think he'll get checked out by the docs to be safe.

Had a great view from the last row of the lower bowl, right in the middle of the arena. Thoughts:
-First, please give Willie Williams all the stage design awards. Even with the high bar set by three decades of U2 stagecraft, I was completely blown away. When you arrive it seems like a typical stage with a B-state and a catwalk, along with a big-ass screen above the catwalk. Nothing too flashy. But I can't even begin to lay out all the tricks they squeezed out of their limited space. The screen/catwalk set up is mesmerizing. I counted FIVE different drum set ups for Larry!! Honestly the main stage almost seems like an afterthought.
-The Ligthing: too brilliant for words. Wait til you see City of Blinding Lights.
-The animation, particularly the stuff that accompanied the SOI songs was fantastic. The lack of familiarity with the new songs could make the crowd lose interest, but the animation, particularly on Iris and Cedarwood Road kept the crow rapt.
-Just so many little things going on, with the phone video feed, the light bulb hanging over the stage at the beginning. Lots to keep you paying attention.
-The live phone "FaceTime" with the member of the audience is a total callback to ZOO TV, so if they're going to do it, they might as well reprise Trying to Throw Your Arms In Your World. I love you, boys, but please never play The Sweetest Thing again.
Issues: If you have a seat at either end of the arena, you're kinda screwed re seeing the visuals. Surprised they didn't add a screen at each end, particularly for the folks behind the main stage. At least the folks at the end near the B-stage get a lot of action there.
-Edge messed up a couple of times during Out of Control, and Adam was totally out to lunch on City of Blinding Lights, missing several chord changes. I laughed out loud it was so rough. Obviously they'll sort that stuff out.
Setlist: Agreed with other comments so far. The first set is very coherent. Starting with the Ramones walk-on music, the entire thing screemed "The Ramones gave us our start." Quick, energetic songs. Not often you see BOTH Out of Control and I Will Follow in the same setlist!
The second set was, well, a bit of a mess. Starting with Invisible. It's my favourite song from them in years, but when it starts you don't even know it's them playing because they're all in the screen/catwalk and you can't see them. Feels like it could be just the track. The confusion meant the crowd didn't get into the song until close to the end. The rest of the set just went all over the place.
The encore was a pretty typical U2 encore, but the songs felt out of order. The Simon & Garfunkel lead-in to Streets kinda clanked. Oh, and boy was the end of the show awkward with Edge's fall. Bono tried to keep the crowd singing but then they kind just rushed off.
I think the setlist leaned more towards their more rock-heavy tracks, so if there's going to be a different vibe for night two, I'm thinking they'll play their more vibe-y stuff: Bad, One, Unforgettable Fire, Running to Stand Still, maybe One Tree Hill.
The show is incredibly-well staged and I'm sure they'll get the setlist sorted. It was actually fascinating to seem them less polished than we're used to.
Last note: Poor Dallas Schoo. Dude looked STRESSED OUT. Constantly tuning, running on stage to tweak things, making sure Edge has enough power cord when he's plugged in and wandering around. I got tired just watching him!
Thanks for sharing! :)
I must have missed it, but can you confirm if there really was an acoustic/mini orchestra set?
The audio stream was dead for most of the concert.

I actually felt that the show would have benefited more on the SOI tracks.
Volcano, TIWYCRMN, California, TCB, Lucifer's Hands, and SLABT... boys, please squeeze them into the set list 8)

Is it me, or does the crowd in these videos are just stood there? Hardly anyone moving around.

The vid/commercial didn't use laser lights. It was just a whole lot of mist created via mist machines, which then gives any directed lights a 'beam' effect.

Most people never really move around. From experience at both U2 and other gigs, people tend to just stand and watch. You want people moving around you gotta go to South America. People tend to be boring at gigs.. i like to move.
At 360 in Sydney, I was up the front/inner circle both gigs, and i was told to stop jumping around/dancing by a guy behind me. Wtf!

That's murder. One of the reasons why I never get seated tix to any gigs i got to (if GA/standing is available).
I like to have a good bloody time when i go to a gig. Sit on my asz all day working, gig time is rockin time.

All of the new songs sound great, especially iris, invisible and the troubles. One thing though, and I never thought I'd say it about this song, but last nights performance of ebttrt was limp. It's as if the heart of that song has been ripped out. A very soulless and hollow performance that doesn't serve a purpose anymore. The rest of the show seemed great. I'd drop ebttrt and replace it with volcano.

Too many of them too busy 'filming', the little Steven spielbergs. Seriously, cell-phones are ruining the atmosphere at gigs in a huge way.

They haven't rehearsed EBTTRT enough - I watched it and the band seem to lose their place in the middle.

This x1000
It bums me out at a concert when the only thing you see is people filming. No more clapping or bouncing around, way more important to miss the whole show so you can watch it again in crappy quality.
That said, seems like a great concert but it's gonna need to mature a bit !

I think they should go back to the more raw liver version of Real Thing myself, sex it up again, get that rock and roll riffage back in. 360 version, I thought was just not Achtung myself, too much Baby,,,

Yes, if they're gonna play it, play it hard the way it was meant to be played. I know Bono wants to conserve his voice for multiple nights etc, but man, he murmured during the versus and the chorus. What was the point?
I don't want to sound too negative, as the rest of the show seemed good, particularly the new stuff, but I wouldn't want to hear half assed renditions of songs I have grown to love over the years.
Btw, bullet the blue sky was awesome. I'm not a huge fan of Bono going all jay z, but that rap was ferocious. The part about the 'private jets' was genius. Blown away by that performance.
-
I'm watching the show on my TV thanks to You Tube and USB sticks. Overall?
Good show, but needs some fine tuning. The Troubles thematically links both the 'Raised By Wolves' section and the interpersonal relationship. It feels like The Troubles and WOWY may sit more comfortably in the end of the first half.
The second half seems like a somewhat random selection of material that needs to be refined. We'll have to see what night#2 brings in terms of any setlist changes, but it doesn't quite gel - maybe bring Streets and Still Haven't Found into close the main set and find a new set of closing songs?
Crowd seem dead as well - it's a rock concert, not a photo opportunity. I wonder why they insist on playing the US/Canada so much if audiences are so unresponsive.
There's a lot of rehearsed material the band haven't played, so let's take another view around 5-6 shows in.

Regarding edge's mis-step at the end, I coulda swore I heard someone shout, 'edge, edge, you're getting too close to the....................edge', Oops......aaaaaggggghhhhh,

Yeah, I thought the new songs sounded good on the first night. Miracle I thought sounded a little flat in my opinion. Give it a few gigs and it will be better I think. Apart from that, loved all the others. Every Breaking Wave is the only one I have not watched, don't feel the need to, I think myself, first half should be more 80's going into the second half 90's and 00's, mixed with the new songs would have a better feel and flow. So as someone suggested, move Streets and Haven't Found to the first half of the set, and then start the second half with some Zoo Tv stuff, and 90's era.
As for closers, well at the Vertigo show I went to, they closed with Vertigo and everyone left all pumped up and in a good mode. I think they should close with something upbeat myself, either that or 40 every time...

My final negative point on a generally positive first night.
Every breaking wave: The stripped down version they continue to pummel us with. It's getting very boring already. It's so adele it's not funny anymore.
Play the darn thing fully plugged in; it's a great song on the album and far, far, far superior to this awful stripped back version which is really starting to grate with me. It's a definite bar break for me if they are still playing it unplugged when I go to see them.

Last week i put a bit of time into thinking of a good song to play before streets, something that segues into it gloriously. Any of the SOI songs don't seem to work, then i went over all the albums to find that perfect song.
Answer: One Tree Hill. ..you know what i'm talking about.

15. Please
18. Bad
24. Walk On/40
Would've been a much better setlist. Time to shelve what was played in those spots.

I just saw the video of Edge falling. Whoa! Thank goodness he is okay.
I was in section 104 and the sound was incredible. A couple of times I thought Bono was not quite loud enough in the mix. But, really happy with the sound system.
-
40 everytime. :)
Any video/audio of the Mother and Child/Streets segue? Super curious about that one.
I really, really don't think it works. It COULD work leading out of a downbeat song but... leading out of Beautiful Day and then a Bono speech? Hell no.
Yeah it was a real letdown
-
40 everytime. :)
Any video/audio of the Mother and Child/Streets segue? Super curious about that one.
Me too. I've seen clips of Streets, but not with the intro. I liked the Miracle Drug/Fields of Gold idea better, but I get where Bono is going thematically with Mother And Child reunion.
Last week i put a bit of time into thinking of a good song to play before streets, something that segues into it gloriously. Any of the SOI songs don't seem to work, then i went over all the albums to find that perfect song.
Answer: One Tree Hill. ..you know what i'm talking about.
That would work well I agree.
The problem now is that Streets is treated as the default set list energizer strapped onto the Africa grand vision (now with an official Red Campaign plug on the screen) and it's getting really tired. You could feel the crowd wanting to be launched into orbit when the song started but it was basically failure to launch. I hope the boys change this up.

My biggest surprise from what I heard was the Sweetest Thing. really enjoyed that
looked to be a great first show. Can't wait til July ;D
but can we get that Mofo snippet into a full song....
-
Just started watching the clips now and I'm impressed. The new songs sound great and the staging looks amazing. EBTTRT was a dud though, don't know why they persist with that inferior version.

Yes, full song and Tomorrow. ;)

They should nickname this tour the snippet tour .... seems like every other song has one. I know it is a way to throw in some other tunes, but it looks like they are way over using it

It's from the sport cricket.... hitting the ball right out of the boundary of the field scores you 6 runs :). Normally people say "it hit me (or us) for 6".

My biggest gripe from U2 shows, I feel like it started with the Vertigo tour.
-
how long was the show?

2:15

how long was the show?
30 songs, 3.5 hours. All of Pop was played. :)

love it or hate it but btbs kicks some serious ass!!!!!

love it or hate it but btbs kicks some serious ass!!!!!
loving Bono rapping on it!
before the start of the tour and before i knew it could be on the setlist, Songs of Innocence brought me back to Bullet for whatever reasons. great great song!!!

that's quite a lame way to end a big show... great show and then the ending...blah
It was unexpected, yeah, but far from blah.

so agree with this. it can be the most amazing moment live, but when Bono uses it as a prelude to his sermon, then slogs his way thru it by mumbling/forgetting/changing the lyrics, it's loses everything. Sing it with conviction... that's why i paid the price of admission.
-
Anybody else notice that Bono kind of got in character as Macphisto at the end of UTTEOTW?

before the start of the tour and before i knew it could be on the setlist, Songs of Innocence brought me back to Bullet for whatever reasons. great great song!!!
I could do without the anti-police stuff, though. Bringing up Baltimore and all that just seemed like an easy way to try and paint all Americans/police as racist. It leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I love the actual song but I wish they had come up with some other cause (maybe the explosive rise of ISIS?) instead of this.

What did he say about Baltimore?

What did he say about Baltimore?
I believe there was footage on the screens from the riots at several points. Several reviews and publications mentioned seeing it as well. The performance itself is excellent but the message seems very confused. Are they anti-police, anti-poverty, anti-America, anti-rich? It feels very disconnected, at least to my eyes and ears. Perhaps someone who saw it in person can provide a different perspective. I only have video and audio to go by.
-
I think we need a new thread for tonight's show...
-
So you don't know what it was saying but you think it was claiming all Americans are racists?
-
I thought they would have played longer since there was no opening act.
-
So you don't know what it was saying but you think it was claiming all Americans are racists?
It just felt like a blanket statement to me. I either want a very direct and clear message or just play the song and without the politics. As much as I love BTBS it just seems like it becomes easy fodder for bashing America. I'm not saying we don't have problems but you'd think we're an awful, hate-filled country of violence and oppression based on some of these performances.
Again, I'm not saying that's how it's meant to come across. That's just the impression I had after listening last night and seeing the footage this afternoon. I'm guessing it has more to do with it being opening night and the band having yet to find a workable flow in this area.

This is where I start to come off the rails a bit as a U2 fan. When Irish (including Liam Neeson) start to lecture us about our guns and violence here is America it feels a little condescending and, certainly more than just a little bit, naive. Issues such as Baltimore shouldn't be thrown around cavalierly in abstract forms. They are complicated issues that have a lot of influences that go well beyond race. To simply attach racism to it, if that's what they are doing, seems very simplistic and lacks the thoughtfulness one has come to expect from U2.

As a perspective from outside America, might shed some light on things?
America dominates popular discourse and culture. Not quite so much as in the pre-internet age, but Amercia has set itself up as the self-appointed Lead Country of The World that creates the technology, the films, and lots of the music. It's rarely a city that isn't New York, Chicago, or some cheaper tax-friendly Canadian standin that gets blown up in most superhero movies. America's relationship with weapons is complicated, and I live in a country where firearms aren't so readily available. The whole issue of private ownership of weapons is very contentious and you don't have to live in America to have a valid opinion about it. Cultural comment about other nations is entirely the privilege of advanced societies, and trying to close down discourse from an alternate perspective smacks of repression to me. Are you saying that only Americans are allowed to have opinions of American culture? That only works if you give up your right to have an opinion on anything that happens in any other country, anywhere in the world, ever. An irishman can have anopinion about something that happens in America. An American can have an opinion on Lithuania. That's how the world is these days.
I'm not an expert on the *exact* circumstances around Baltimore, and I'm not commenting to get some self-righteous lecture about it. The riots in my own country seem to have been rooted from an overly authoritarian police presence in areas of high poverty and brutal inequality ; race doesn't seem to have much to do with that.
But here's the bottom line : Comment about events and circumstances in America isn't automatically critical of America, and if you think it is, you may have to consider the worldview, as there's an enormous one outside of America. Parts of America have horrific inequality. Parts of every country do.
Also, the band are touching on cultural issues that are not unique to America : Gun control, police brutality, power, capitalism, race, class, etc are universal - and if anything, U2's work - from the band name down seems to be 'about' equality, inequity, and inclusivity of all human beings as One. There's nothing anti-American in that sentiment.
-
One can absolutely have an opinion of another country and the culture but then the context of where the culture originated must be evaluated as well. In American, guns and the right to guns are and have been seen as a necessary freedom to ensure a means of fighting back against an oppressive authority. When Irishman start talking about the evil of guns in America, as an American, I think it's guns that provided the freedom here in the first place. So to me it sounds naive and doesn't consider the context in which that culture originated.

I think the the difference between ireland and the USA is that for us here on the Emerald Isle, it is illegal for 99.9% of the population to buy a gun.

And my guess is that it has been that way for much (if not all) of your life and for the members of U2 as well. By the same token, for all of my life and for the 200+ years prior to that, it has been legal for the vast majority of Americans to own firearms. As an American, it's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of not being able to own a gun, just as it's probably difficult for someone who hasn't had that right to grasp being able to own one. The laws in each of our respective countries are on polar opposites of an issue, and they've been ingrained into what each of us define as our "norm".
I long ago came to grips with the fact that I love U2's music, but don't agree with all of their political stances (I strongly disagree with several of them). But that's ok. I'm able to separate the two and still enjoy their music and their shows.

All good points. I appreciate most of what the band stands for just come from different histories on this topic.

I highly doubt that! There's something called a security check and unless you are law enforcement, you're not getting in.

As long as they only get trigger happy during the "Over the counter" and the "100, 200..." Sections of Desire and BTBS respectively then everyone's a winner.
