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.
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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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...
Nice tip Mom !

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! ;)

Sounds like they changed the key that The Miracle is played in. Huh.
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.

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.

Pride is one of the only songs where I think the studio version triumphs.
I agree.
Post by: Siberian Tiger on May 14, 2015, 10:54:24 PM
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.
Not complaining though! They sound great!
And there's The Troubles!

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.

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....
Post by: fresno dave on May 14, 2015, 10:59:56 PM

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
Post by: Boom Cha! on May 14, 2015, 11:00:17 PM
I'm guessing WOWY, City, beautiful, miracle drug, streets, haven't found to finish? Any other surprises? No One?!
No Elevation so far.
Post by: Basskid on May 14, 2015, 11:00:21 PM
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.

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?
On my ipad I had to click on the link, let it to open somewhere else and then click on the "get App" in order to get the app. I tried finding the app via the store and it couldn't find it.
Excellent! Found Derek in twitter.... downloading to iPad now. Thanks Jen.
I tweeted him to make him aware of his MVP status on the atU2 forum...

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/...

Post by: briscoetheque on May 14, 2015, 11:35:51 PM
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.

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.
Second half was quite political for a bit.

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.

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.

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.

I know! I thought I saw a pic of him smiling on Twitter and it was after the fall, but I can't find it now.
I think Edge thought he was AT the circle already! :(
Yeah, I hope he's not hurting too much, and that it won't bother him too much for other shows either.
When's your first show MDMom?

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!

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.

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).

-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.

Seems like a lot of the video screens are meant to be seen from the sides

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.

Is it me, or does the crowd in these videos are just stood there? Hardly anyone moving around.
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.
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.
Post by: markreed on May 15, 2015, 08:39:06 AM
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.

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...

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.

My final negative point on a generally positive first night.Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, too many people seem to like the stripped down version. I'm with you. Get rid of the piano.

I'm on the total other side of that opinion... the album version is so bad that I edited it out until I heard the stripped down version... each to their own...

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.

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.

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.

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!!!
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.

That's fair enough mate, I don't agree with EVERYTHING they say either, but it has never stopped me enjoying U2 as a band.

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

Still, I find it rather disconcerting that fans in America can take concealed handguns into the arena at a U2 concert.
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.
