___________________________________

Is it too early to start a thread now?

I'm not sure about any audio or twitter sources but perhaps that could be added later on by a mod? This is my first proper setlist party in here after all, not to mention the first setlist party thread to be started by myself.

My source in Helsinki says that there has been a soundcheck. I don't know in what exact order though.

Helsinki afternoon Soundcheck August 20th 2010:

City Of Blinding Lights (intro)
Mysterious Ways
Where The Streets Have No Name
Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me

thanks for the reminder of the show! this party will make the end of my work day go a wee-bit faster! see everyone later!! whooo hooo!

 

[ramblin rose]

So based on the time zone in Helsinki the show should start at around 1:15CT. Hopefully there will be a source for this show!!

 

[The_Edge89]

Hopefully there will be a source for this show!!

Ax here. Sorry, I can't do live set today; will be here at end of show to recap. Matt is at gig. I should be here for Helsinki 2.

Is this good or bad? I suppose Matt won't live tweet then either or what?

 

[digitize]

Please note that there is no report that Discothèque was played in full - just the guitar riff (ie, part of Crazy Tonight).

 

[digitize]

Miss Sarajevo is being rehearsed now

Edit: And now Cobble.

 

[nielsgov]

Hopefully they'll play North Star again. Maybe they've worked on it.

 

[The_Edge89]

I'm off for a bit. I suppose I'll be back in time for the show as I don't care much for Razorlight and what else might be going on other that our lads

 

[digitize]

I'm hoping I'll be able to keep setlists updated here tonight... the parties today and tomorrow will probably be the last ones I can attend this year (school starts for me on Monday).

Here's hoping for Ultraviolet tonight... *fingers crossed*

 

[alanah]

Hopefully they'll play North Star again. Maybe they've worked on it.

I hope so ..I like this song a lot.

I know it probably won't happen but Bono has told us to dream out loud.

He also said we need new dreams tonight, so you might want to get a new dream.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

what up yo'?

Howdy Mr. Red Rocks and Steve.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Jeff, I salute you.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Hahahaha.... OH SNAP!

Okay. "God Part II". There. New dream.

 

[Edge_Orchestra]

Jeff, I salute you.

And I salute you too!

Bit early here but hopefully a good show ahead. And better if there is a good, consistent and non-Chipmunkian feed.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, gosh. To make a "you glorify the past when the future dries up" joke or not ....

[RedRocksU2]

Question; when was the last time you guys listened to The Joshua Tree in sequence?

 

[corianderstem]

It's been a really long time - I was actually thinking about it earlier this week. I think I'll throw it in and crank it up today.

 

[YBORCITY]

Question; when was the last time you guys listened to The Joshua Tree in sequence?

This morning in my Office! I'm driving my Assistant nuts.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Cori, I heard it today on the way to work (I have a 1 hr commute) and it was amazing. Sounds stupid, but listening to it THAT way...brought back feelings that I have forgotten about. strange.

*puts it on again*

 

[RedRocksU2]

This morning in my Office! I'm driving my Assistant nuts.
