One
Where the Streets Have No Name
Gloria
Running to Stand Still (full version - Edge piano, no harmonica)

Vertigo (w/ Stories For Boys verse and 4-5sec gaps before each chorus)(tonight was very fast and ragged, it must have been a long day)
All Because of You
Sunday, Bloody Sunday (full band - original key, stopped after 2 lines - several more attempts with changes)
40

Many thanks to U2FanPeter!

 

[Peter]

Gloria!!!

 

[miss becky]

Wow, the rumors are true. Zoo Station!

 

[blindinglights]

sunday bloody sunday original key????!!!!!!!!!!!!! too good to be true!!

 

[babyman]

i can't believe it.........................ZOO STATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA

 

[MsMofoGone]

Electric Co???? ( Oh, help.... )

Gloria !!!! ( Excellent choice.... )


But seriously, Come On Guys... "New Years Day" PLEASE !!

 

[blueyedpoet]

I really wish they'd play more than two songs from the 90s

 

[PurpleSeven]

Zoo station is great and everything and I'm glad that most everybody is worked up about it - but An Cat Dubh - Gloria - Electric Co - Wow.

An Fucking Cat Dubh.

Can anybody find a date since that was last played in concert?

 

[u2valleygirl]

I hope they cut out Elevation and put in UTEOTW.

 

[U2Fan101]

Hmmm...why is it that people complain and want to hear more rarities, and then when something comes out showing rarities (An Cat Dubh, Electric Co, Running to Stand Still, Zoo Station, 40), people STILL complain and are not happy?

Always have made me curious at that. Frankly, this set list looks frickin' good to me. I'd switch the order, but good none the less.

 

[ihavefollowed]

The Boy stuff is great news. Zoo Station? Would be unbelievable. RTSS? A dream come true for someone who was only five in 1987 and has never seen it live. Elevation? How lame. Seriously, with their catalogue and all of the great new songs, there is no reason at all to play Elevation.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

well seeing as an article from a canadian newspaper confirmed that the first rumored rehersal setlist was indeed true, i guess i can take these as true as well..

and in that case...

an cat dubh

 

[starsgoblue]

Just becuase they play around with a song in rehearsal doesn't mean it will be played in concert....but I like what they're messing around with!

 

[bsp77]

I really wish they'd play more than two songs from the 90s

Really. What the hell? I am very excited at the idea of them playing Zoo Station (and An Cat Dubh and Electric Co.), but they could play a little more from the 90s.

 

[Convoy]

SHow me Ultra Violet!

 

[kev1386]

I hope RTSS makes the cut and gets played live this time around.

 

[Wildhit]

Zoo Statio???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I would crap my pants if they did Zoo Station...

 

[Dragonfave]

hhmmmmmmmmmm.................no sign of "Dirty Days", LNOE, or Lemon (yet).

 

[U2FanPeter]

Just to clarify for the casual forum readers:

"SBF" is Stories For Boys, which is played as a medley with Vertigo.

U2FP

 

[HelloAngel]

Awesome - thanks for the clarificatio, Peter!

 

[blindinglights]

u2fanpeter, do you have any additional information about what the story was with SBS? why they only played two lines, what changes were they toying with, etc? thanks.

 

[Zooropean103]

An Cat Dubh
Zoo Station
I wonder what is this "voiceover intro". Something completly new or some known stuff from ZooTV era?

 

[U2FanPeter]

They played the song close to original key until it broke down 2 lines into the song. They then tried again, once or twice, doing the full song in a lower key. I think it was a higher key than 2001, but lower than the original.

Keep in mind that Bono sung for 3-4 days straight at almost 4 hours per night. The group themselves were apparently inside the venue for 12hrs (2pm-2am-ish) both thursday and friday.

SBS was played at the end of the long day, at around midnight.

40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40

 

[Catman]

Where's Refugee

 

[corner]

Whoah!!!!

Some real treats in that setlist: Zoo Station , An Cat Dubh , Electric co. and at risk of being a FREAK on this forum - Elevation

 

[ultrraviolette]

It all sounds great!! The only thing I would leave off in favor of more 90's material is Elevation and OSC

 

[ultrraviolette]

Actually, reading over it again I could do without Running to Stand Still and Stuck In a Moment also in favor of New Years Day and Gone

 

[Cutters10C]

Does anyone think that there is a chance they will play Electrical Storm?

 

[Needle_Chill]

Does anyone think that there is a chance they will play Electrical Storm?

Definitely, but more in Europe...
