More information to come
 
NLOTH, I believe, was on the Epi Casino, with Bono on his Irish Falcon. I also saw mentioned that Edge went back to the Gibson hollow-body for One.
 
scratch that, it aint a 12 string on mos, did he use the ric at any stage? this could be the first show in years that he hasnt used it!
 
LOL @ Bono on .Ultra Violet he shit himself when the mic cable gave a few cm's.
 
Edge on UV seems to be a strat, black and white, i thought his retrorocket was black with shiny silver?
Adam on UV appears to be the White precision with red tortoiseshell plate.
 
It should also be noted that on Streets that they were playing in standard tuning for the first time in a long time.

As for the "Bass Wildcard" mentioned.

The headstock looks like that of a Warwick (same folks that make the Buzzard) - Not 100% sure of the model of this one.



 
Magnificent appears to be the Country Gretsch.

COBL is the Country Gretsch.

Vertigo is the blonde Tele.

Sunday Bloody Sunday appears to be his sunburst Stratocaster (same one as Pride, probably).

Walk on appeared to still be the Les Paul Custom.

Did you verify those off of video? Just wondering. Have links for those if so?

I did them all based on looking at video, yes.

(To avoid a bunch of embeds, I'll break them up.)

Magnificent: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=A8F_qKXCki0 (check 0:52, Edge appears on screen)

City of Blinding Lights: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=bYDps1yRtPw (0:12)

Vertigo: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=Iug8oMI-T_Y

Sunday Bloody Sunday: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=vboOyq029AY (right at the beginning, you can see Edge)

Walk On: http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=8R5oBosyO-s (check at 2:58 for the clearest shot, on the video screen)

Cool. Thanks for posting the links. I will try to find some other video of One to see if I can verify... I do think it might be the Music Rising LP
 
I guess that just leave Unforgettable Fire as the only one we're not sure about?
 
http://www.you tube.com/watch?v=ziJrrA2Wn2g

The only video of Unforgettable Fire where you can see Edge, but it's very difficult to determine what guitar he has.

At 2:54, you can see it for half a second. I can't tell for sure what it is, though.
 
Tonight's show featured many of the first night's songs, but a couple new ones:

Desire
Party Girl
Electrical Storm - Epiphone Casino (Edge), Gretsch Irish Falcon (Bono)
Crazy Tonight (Normal) - Gretsch Country Gentleman
