At the second concert in Sydney, U2 made three major adjustments to the previous night's setlist. The first was the return of I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, which missed the first two Australian shows despite being a Vertigo Tour setlist regular since June 2005. The second was Stuck In A Moment, and unlike the stripped down performances played previously on Vertigo, this was a full band version much like the Elevation Tour's version, and it was dedicated to Michael Hutchence. The third change, and by far the biggest surprise, was the appearance of a full band, electric version of Desire in the second encore. This song has only been played once before on the Vertigo Tour; Bono and Edge played an acoustic version on 21 February 2006 in Sao Paulo in response to an audience member's request. Tonight's version was a ramshackle and rough affair, but nonetheless fun and enjoyable.
