Boston I Setlist Party Part II (DON'T POST U2.com SETLIST!)

[Axver]

Boston actually has a "Tourist Tax" of $65 per person, for each nite in the city.

Wow, that's so out of U2's budget. Poor guys, living in such abject poverty.

 

[MrBrau1]

I don't think I will have enough money to even go. I'm trying to get tickets to LV tho.

With the BoSox in the playoffs, there might be quite a few no shows, maybe even a "miracle ticket."

[corianderstem]

No. I made it up.

No fair making fun of the out-of-towners!

 

[u2wedge]

How about a big props for Lila tonight folks!

THANK YOU LILA!

This is true.

 

[Lila64]

Aw, shucks, saw that just in time. Thank you!

 

[Miroslava]

Indeed!

 

[MrBrau1]

This is true.

If they were playing IN BOSTON, there would be a whole lot more. But there's some rich fuck who bought U2 tickets and is also flying to Chicago.

 

[u2wedge]

So who pays this $65 Tourist Tax in Boston?

I was there a few weeks ago and must have missed it.

Just saw the commercial...

It said 'Don't miss Conan's special show with U2.' Almost sounded like U2 might be the center of the whole show...

 

[ramblin rose]

Thanks Lila, we'll miss you tomorrow night!!

 

[Val]

when is it?

Yea, you gotta love that!

Well I'm off to sleep! Enjoy the show!

With any luck, you'll be surrounded by thousands of upset "Vinney Bagofdoughnuts."

You're gonna have an awesome time. Yankee playoff games are exciting (and I'm a Red Sox fan.)

 

[Hallucination]

how did you get the tickets?

Bought them off ticketsnow.com. Cost a fortune but some tickets were going for over $2000.00 for a single seat so I don't feel too bad.

 

[cleazer]

Glad to see The First Time sticking around. Cool stuff.

I really will miss the Achtung encore, but I'm glad I got to see it 4 times in the spring. I really can't fault U2 for mixing things up, since thats what so many fans here seem to want.

 

[Slamming J]

Just have to pop in and say...

MLK snippet.

 

[Zooropa man]

Like the variety.... gotta do something about the encore though. A bit blah... just my opinion.

 

[theu2fly]

Final setlist?

 

[amerrydeath]

MLK SNIPPET

I was there and almost died. Unfortunately the rest of the setlist was not as exciting but an unbelievable show anyway. See you there tomorrow night too, maybe Fast Cars? IALW? BAD?!

P.S.: Bono completely lost his voice starting Pride and the band had to essentially stop progressing through the song and wait for him to get it back. The crowd was really supportive, though.

 

[bostonfly]

Excellent Show. Standard setlist but it did not matter.

The version of Streets was better than any of the times they played it in May when they were in town.

I did not get to see the setlist myself but a friend of mine did and said "Crumbs" was suppose to be after Yahweh. Oh well, maybe tomorrow night.

 

[sfu2doc]

Amazing show. Great crowd. Possibly better than the crowd 5/26. I was GA floor by the soundboard (my usual spot).

Miracle Drug dedicated to Paul Farmer (Harvard, Partners in Health, AIDS activist and scientist)

Bono's voice was in top shape. Belted some amazing notes on Miss Sarajevo, Sometimes.

Edge just demolished Electric Co with some amazing guitar work. I was speechless.

The Red Sox jersey was trotted out by Bono. Tom Brady was in the pit; John Kerry was in the seats on Edge's side.
Both got shout outs from Bono.

Larry ended the show by putting on the Sox jersey - crowd went nuts.

I'll let others post more detailed write-ups but one thing stood out:

Larry looked like he was in pain. He was wearing a brace that went from under his shirt down his right arm to his hand. He was really hunched over during the show and I could swear I saw wincing in pain (not the usual Larry face). Anyone else notice this?

Great show. Not the setlist chaos and beauty of 5/26, no Bad, no Crumbs, but a really phenomenal show with amazing crowd energy (blew away the crowd from 5/24, for example). The crowd after Streets was insane. Loudest I have ever heard an indoor stadium.

Tomorrow should be fun...

 

[Carek1230]

I hope Mr Mullen is alright!

 

[theu2fly]

Wow, John Kerry in the audience, that's cool.
