LongShadowsWine Bono and the boys will be drinking Saggi tomorrow. U2 special ordered Saggi to have backstage at the concert in Seattle at Qwest Field!
@AndyFC91 Seems so. I think some night parts have been cut out as well.

@U2comZooMods Are the hashtags defined for all remaining shows yet?
RT @arc_pic: here are my #U2360EDM photos. i really should have snuck in my good camera gear… http://tinyurl.com/3mr47…
@EdgeFest Don’t worry … happens at nearly all show. Hard to provide the required mobile capacity for such mass events everywhere.
And I just realised I botched my second-to-last tweet. CRAZY TONIGHT snippetfest, not Discotheque. Wishful thinking Disco was fully done?
…and AIWIY had The Needle & The Damage Done. Also added Anthem snip to UTEOTW from 2011-04-02, La Plata. Anything else we’re missing?
Discotheque was snippetfest - Can’t Stand The Rain, Discothèque, Life During Wartime, Please. Vertigo had Rockin’ In The Free World…
Just updated Edmonton set with all the Snippetwatches people sent in - too many to name, you know who you are, thank you!

steven_li Thanks for the show U2!! You guys really know how to put together an epic rock concert to remember. #U2360EDM
So, @hjwallace1 has just tweeted that it was the same set as Winnipeg. That’d be confirmation the acoustic song was indeed Stay. #U2360EDM
That’s it for today, folks. Write-up and setlist here (Stay remains unconfirmed): http://u2.gs/edm #U2360EDM
As usual, WOWY and MOS are rounding out the show. #U2360EDM
There you go, those of you who predicted HMTMKMKM will be happy you’re right - it’s 22nd, first song of 2nd encore. #U2360EDM
@skid63 Without question!
@llootsteen39 Probably a safe bet!
First encore is - shock horror - One followed by Streets. As normal, that makes them 20th and 21st songs of the night. #U2360EDM
@U2sannieGO Seriously! Scarlet and Rejoice could barely be more different if they tried.
I’m starting to think that only 1 out of every 10 reports of Scarlet correctly identifies it as “Scarlet” rather than “Rejoice”.
As promised, here I am at the end of the main set with songs 16-19, which are the usuals: Crazy Tonight, SBS, Scarlet, Walk On. #U2360EDM
@skid63 The random Tutu sampling just about makes me cringe.
Last tweet is around the wrong way, sorry! 14th is COBL / Singing snip, 15th is Vertigo. #U2360EDM
14th is Vertigo, 15th is COBL with Singing In The Rain snip, and I think I’ll just report the rest of the main set when it ends. #U2360EDM
@llootsteen39 Nope … surprisingly hard to get any info at all. I’m bored stiff.
Zooropa clocks in at 13th. #U2360EDM
Still waiting for some actual confirmation that 2nd was IWF and 9th was Stay …! #U2360EDM
12th is Miss Sarajevo. #U2360EDM
@EdgeFest @hjwallace1 Another question - was Stay after AIWIY as usual, or did they do something else acoustic?
11th is Pride. #U2360EDM
@skid63 Yeah, they opened some of the 2009 European gigs. I saw them open in Paris and at one of the Dublin shows.
Ninth was an acoustic song (so probably Stay), and then tenth is Beautiful Day. #U2360EDM
Seventh was UTEOTW. Then speech (Bono talks about ice hockey). Eighth is All I Want Is You. Ninth is… hopefully we’ll know soon! #U2360EDM
@comay I think the intro is the best part of the song, so cutting that was never going to sit too well with me, heh.
Sixth is Elevation as expected. #U2360EDM
@TheFly360 Haha I wish!
@EdgeFest @hjwallace1 Any chance either of you can confirm if 2nd song was I Will Follow?
And MW is in fifth like normal. Next two should be locks as well, but will AIWIY keep sticking around in 8th? I hope so. #U2360EDM
I love the hashtag, by the way. I keep reading it as “U2 360 Electronic Dance Music”. Is that when they play Crazy Tonight x24? #U2360EDM
By the way, here’s our usual article with all we know about the set, updated live: http://u2.gs/edm #U2360EDM
What we KNOW so far: EBTTRT, a Boy song, ??, Magnificent. What it probably is: EBTTRT, IWF, Boots, Magnif. Expect usual set. #U2360EDM
@u2kat Muse were too busy doing their own tour of Australia to support U2 here, heh. Their own 2 Melbourne shows were quality.
With no feed and with none of us able to go to this show, it looks like tonight may be an awkward one for getting the setlist…!
People, if there were a stream, do you think I’d be trying to guess at songs on the basis of vague tweets? ;)
By the sounds of a tweet from @dstaples, the band are probably on I Will Foll ow. Or possibly OOC. But almost certainly IWF. #U2360EDM
@pepokiss Still pissed that Australia got Jay-Z rather than Muse.
First song of the night is Even Better Than The Real Thing. Really glad they’ve stuck with this as an opener. #U2360EDM
RT @corianderstem: @atu2 @u2gigs Fun Lovin’ Criminals on Popmart were AWFUL.
@U2Jerseygirl It seems I’m the only person who enjoyed Glasvegas in Dublin. OK, their stage presence sucked but I like their music.
Aaaand @hjwallace1 reports Space Oddity! Hope @EdgeFest can get a feed happening … fingers crossed! #U2360EDM
@atu2 I’ve been to about a billion gigs by now and they are the ONLY time I have ever actually sat down and ignored an opener completely.
While we’re talking U2 openers, prob the best I’ve had was Kaiser Chiefs; perhaps the only one I’ve seen actually get the U2 crowd excited!
@uumike I still can’t get over the fact that Smashmouth supported U2.
@atu2 As for worse U2 openers though, I’d much prefer to sit through The Fray than Republic Of Loose. By god they were bad, Dublin ’09.
@atu2 I don’t know, soon as I slag off something, people usually rush to its defence, but The Fray? Fans conspicuous by their absence!
@atu2 No, just going by tweets! I think we’ve had 2-3 positive tweets re: The Fray (vs a million negative) since they were announced.
@ScottSextastic Could have been the techs. Dallas rehearsed Electric Co.’s riff in Australia in 2006, long after it was dropped from set.
Think this is the last show supported by The Fray? 98% of our followers breathe a sigh of relief, esp those with upcoming gigs. #U2360EDM
The Fray are done, by the way. Should be about 30-40 minutes until U2 are on. #U2360EDM
All we know about the soundcheck is that the crew did Zooropa & COBL, and U2 did the new version of Magnificent. #U2360EDM
Looks like it’ll be just me, Ax, covering tonight’s show. The Fray are on at the moment, so hopefully not too long until U2. #U2360EDM
EdgeFest Worries about network tonight at #U2360EDM - doubt I will get a feed out tonight guys :( I am so sorry. Will if I can!!!

@EdgeFest good morning from Matt. Glad to see it worked out. I’ll give it a listen at work if the stream is saved :-)
@romarinho74 take a look here: http://u2.gs/ts
MOS was in the printed set, but the band must’ve run up against a curfew. Anyway, full setlist & show write-up: http://u2.gs/win #U2360WPG
And @hjwallace1 confirms no MOS! That’s it folks. Only 2nd show to end on WOWY after Brissie 2. (Or 3rd counting Denver rehearsal) #U2360WPG
Is this it? No MOS?! #U2360WPG
24th is With Or Without You. #U2360WPG
23rd song of the night, start of the 2nd encore, is Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me. This has become a bit more permanent. #U2360WPG
Second encore break, will it be HMTMKMKM or UV? Obviously I’m hoping for the former. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 October is in my U2 top four, with UF, Boy, and JT. (Or top five if I can count Passengers.) 1978-84 is easily my fav U2 era.
@mikadu2 19. Walk On, 20. Happy Birthday, 21. One, 22. Streets.
Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow snippet leads into 22nd song, Streets. #U2360WPG
One lacks the Hear Us Coming verse. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Fire is awesome, don’t get why it’s under-rated. I dig almost all tracks on October though; only dislike I Fall Down.
@isamoras Haha, yeah, I’m starting to expect it at some point in the gig.
But that’s just a technicality, I suppose!
Also, it’s not quuuite AI’s 50th birthday. The article that inspired it was published on 28/05/61; it coalesced into a group later in 1961.
Going to count Happy Birthday as 20th song. So starting the encore, 21st of the night, is One. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Oh man, Brick would rule so much. Would love some Fire too.
And now here’s the new encore video, the replacement for Tutu. #U2360WPG
Bono makes a speech after Walk On acknowledging Amnesty International’s 50th birthday, sings Happy Birthday for them. #U2360WPG
Closing out Walk On is the You’ll Never Walk Alone snippet. #U2360WPG
@MarsGirl75 Never ceases to amuse me how many people, even hardcore fans, keep accidentally calling it Rejoice. I wish it was Rejoice!
Following Scarlet in 19th is, of course, Walk On. What, you were expecting Alone In The Light? #U2360WPG
18th is Scarlet. Love how it keeps hanging around; it’s a gorgeous piece of music. #U2360WPG
And ending the snippetfest is Please, leading into 17th song, Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2360WPG
Add to that Life During Wartime and Psycho Killer snippets! #U2360WPG
Aw yeah, here’s the Discotheque snippet! Go oooon guys, crank it out in full. #U2360WPG
16th is Crazy Tonight. How much Pop snippetry can they squeeze in tonight? #U2360WPG
Another snip of You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet, this time at the end of Vertigo. #U2360WPG
@skid63 I’m going to take that as a challenge for my old “Walk On after Scarlet; what, you expected ….?” joke. ;)
By the way, if you’re just tuning in, here’s the full set so far as updated on the mainpage: http://u2.gs/win #U2360WPG
15th is Vertigo. #U2360WPG
@Lunnzies I’ll take The Fly ANYWHERE in the setlist!
@skid63 Me, predictable? Noooo! ;)
@u2_news Yeah, I’d rate UF and Zooropa as this tour’s two best moments.
Zooropa as normal segues into 14th, City Of Blinding Lights. #U2360WPG
And this is now the Ax show like old times; Matkin’s passed the controls over to me.
Barring the sudden appearance of, say, 11OTT, tonight’s 13th song is the best song of the night, ZOOROPA! #U2360WPG
Miss Sarajevo #U2360WPG
Heart Of Gold snippet at the end of BDay, by the way. #U2360WPG
Either @EdgeFest or @hjwallace1 screaming “Cheryl, this is for you!” Heh, hope you’re listening Cheryl! #U2360WPG
Pride #U2360WPG
RT @hjwallace1: Bono just Pulled the 2 girls beside us up on stage! #U2360WPG
@alancross Ever read this? Think you’ll enjoy it ;) http://bit.ly/mDEtEA
Snippet of You Ain’t Seen Nothin Yet as the intro poem
Beautiful Day follows Stay; Bono calls for a poem. #U2360WPG
And that is the word of Canada’s most eminant musical journalist folks!
@coldplayer4life Connection issues; it comes back
Ax here, Bono did seem to mumble something at the end of AIWIY, possibly LRM-ish? Going to need to check a recording afterwards. #U2360WPG
@atu2 Yeah, I (Ax) caught that in AIWIY too … couldn’t pick what it was, if it was a snippet.
Bono pays respect to Sinatra and talks about how Stay’s working title in the Zooropa sessions was Sinatra #U2360WPG
Stay (Faraway, SO Close is ninth - NOT Love Rescue Me (my bad) #U2360WPG
I think…? He started singing “Love”,, I hit Tweet, and then he stopped. Umm, you may want to disregard that last one. #U2360WPG
Love Rescue Me; full song or snippet? #U260WPG
Ax again, can’t believe I’ve never heard AIWIY live. It always returns to the set just AFTER I see them. But glad it’s back in the mix!
And Edge is having some guitar problems; no doubt distracted by @EdgeFest’s sign during this song! #U2360WPG
Eighth song of the night is All I Want Is You #U2360WPG
And that’s a snip of Where Have All The Flowers Gone? by Pete Seeger in UTEOTW. #U2360WPG
Hey, Ax here (I’m not dead!), just checking in to say this is a damn fine feed from @EdgeFest! #U2360WPG
And Until the End of the World rolls in at lucky number 7. Everyone dancing in their seats? #U2360WPG
Sixth song of the night is Elevation. #U2360WPG
Feed is back; the service being used, Twitcasting, requires a refresh by the transmitter every 30 min. WIll happen again. #U2360WPG
paovillacis @u2gigs Listening Live from Winnipeg Canada (online) I miss #U2, It sounds good!! (#U2360WPG live on http://moi.st/19ec41 )
Mysterious Ways is fifth, and presumably still in the neutered fornat. #U2360WPG
@atu2 Hahah, well we can always dream!
That would be a definite yes to the gospel addition. #U2360WPG
Fourth song of the night is Magnificent; will they keep the new gospel element? #U2360WPG
For those missing the stream, you can find it here: http://twitcasting.tv/ed… #U2360WPG #U2WPG #U2360CAN
With a kickass rendition of Oh Canada mixed in that was missing from Toronto 09

EdgeFest Glad to hear feed sounds good! Conserving battery for tonight - more after 9pm local!
On a side note, I like that #U2360WPG is only one hour behind Ontario; maybe I won’t fall asleep this time!
Seems as if they are really concentrating on Magnificent with these new elements. Have rehearsed it three times so far

@pearljamgirl85 Always a pleasure :)
@EdgeFest @hjwallace1 Hope you two aren’t too cold waiting in line. Did you remember your sign?
@Lunnzies I think BBC normally airs it live.
@SheisCreeCBC There are a couple of spots where you can stand outside and still see the stage/hear the band. Worth trying out.
@AntonVonDraco The Fray
@Lunnzies Probably not at this stage. Seems as if they’ve been doing it for the Achtung Baby documentary. Might show up at Glasto though
@pearljamgirl85 Not yet; nobody on stage. Just song being played over PA
All indications are that there will be a feed tonight, the first of this North American leg. Stay tuned ;-) #U2360WPG
