Fairly standard. From what the rumours say, this won't be the DVD though. Still if this was to be the UNCUT DVD, I wouldn't be disappointed;

 

[Mullen4Prez]

I just hope they mix it up for the next 3 shows.....

 

[U2FanPeter]

Any reports about film crews actually being present at this Chi gig?

[hluvslmj]

I read this setlist also. I know...I want to hear Electric Co but especially Gloria Monday night

 

[Nisse]

one song less and no replacement? that does suck.

 

[Dragonfave]

No "Electric Co."? Interesting.........

 

[nurse chrissi]

no stories for boys with vertigo either - it sounded like edge started to play the opener for stories for boys then Bono nixed it

bad - wow

 

[God Part III]

That's one of the worst sets I've seen yet, except for Anaheim 1. And opening with Love And Peace Or Else? I'd just hoped that they released it as a single City Of Blinding Lights would be permanent.

Oh such a bad set.
I can't deal with the absence of Electric Co. I just can't.

 

[johnottr]

Can anyone tell me about what time they are coming on!

 

[bigdomer]

They came on a little after 9pm last night.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

no HKYPKY

 

[mkdominatr]

what nights are they filming???

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i thought i heard shows 2 and 3 were being filmed

 

[Aardvark747]

no HKYPKY

Damn them....

Love and Peace is a great opener. this setlist was the exact same as nearly all the second night setlists, except with an cat dubh/into the heart replacing gloria. any setlist with bad is good to me.

 

[God Part III]

^^

I don't like Love And Peace as the opener. It wrecks the brilliant L&P>SBS>BTBS and it's much too, well, not fitting. The themes, the message and the spirit of City Of Blinding lights fits much better.

And who's want An Cat Dubh over Gloria?
Bring on Electric Co, Bad and Zoo Station same night. Thanks.

 

[God Part III]

no HKYPKY

What's that again?

 

[4215Andersson]

And who's want An Cat Dubh over Gloria?

I do...

 

[TheRat]

What's that again?

Don't pretend you don't know.

that song is ->what it's all about<- wink wink nudge nudge.

 

[stagman]

I'm sure Gloria and Electric will be played 2nd night... and there will be more energy.... 1st night of 4, they can only get better.

There were a few people out filming the GA line but they said they weren't filming the concert that night.

 

[mikal]

one song less and no replacement? that does suck.

technically, Bad was the replacement, because they played Zoo Station also.

 

[U2FanPeter]

<<weren't filming that night>>

I thought they would do a dress rehearsal filming of last nights show. U2 frequently film more than one show.

2 nights in mexico
2 nights in Sydney
2 nights in Denver(RAH)
2 nights in Boston(Bonocam from a 3rd night)
2 nights in Phoenix?(RAH)
Did they film the first Slane?
Did they film more than one Dublin 89?
The 1992 Fox special was more than one night.

Etc...etc...

[neutral]

Yeah, they're filming nights 3 and 4.

Oops, ok it didn't suck then

This is one of the worst posts I've seen yet. I was at the Chicago concert, and the setlist was great. I didn't give a fuck if it was the same setlist they played in Chicago. I was there! I was watching it happen, and it was the greatest concert I've ever seen. How can anybody say that a setlist sucks when you aren't there? How can anybody comment on the quality of a song selection when you aren't hearing the songs. Yes, it might make for a boring setlist party on here, but it was not a boring party at the United Center. I didn't even notice Electric Co was missing. I didn't notice Gloria was missing. I didn't wish for any other songs to be played, because I was happy to be there watching my favorite band.

I thought the band sounded GREAT after a week off, nothing wrong with the setlist as far as we're concerned. One of the best parties for U2 that I've been to.
