Saw a Periscope of the new intro and thought it was a little sloppy, but obviously there will be tweaks. Overall a much more upbeat start than Leg 1 - nice integration of Chaplin's The Great Dictator.

Shouldn't that read more like:

---------- It’s a Beautiful World ----------
----------------- Zooropa------------------
01 - The Blackout
(etc.)

I'm waiting for a decent pic of the setlist to see what they're labeling the intro video as. If I'm not mistaken, I could also hear Bono singing a few lines of "Love is All We Have Left" during the intro.

[rennowba]

Which version is it?

 

[prbiker15]

2011/2015 with Bono rambling before the "You take me higher!" verse.

Thanks, really like that version to be honest. Fish out of water remiix I think it was called.

 

[DRay9911]

A ton of preachifying about stuff. Almost needs its own spot on the setlist.

What about Europe can’t wait to see what he says in the uk

 

[FazeCraze]

Acoustic Best Thing still in. BOOOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[Pop Artist]

Watching Larry warm up to do the bongos just now made me chuckle for some reason.

 

[rennowba]

Acoustic Best Thing still in. BOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Yeah that should have been scrapped or played full band.

Is it Acoustic or full band?

 

[drccds]

It was acoustic.

 

[prbiker15]

Edge was on electric guitar, plus you could hear the backing vocals and violins. Technically acoustic.

 

[rennowba]

It was acoustic.

Thanks

1st performance since St. Louis. And ooh, I think that worked well.

 

[rennowba]

Setlist wise I’d say this one is an improvement on the American ones

 

[mofo82]

WOW NYD has been reinvented, sounds great

 

[mofo82]

...and transitioned nicely into COBL

 

[prbiker15]

Personally glad Bono's still singing the bridge in NYD. Interesting arrangement.

 

[trojanchick99]

I'm really liking this setlist. So happy I ended up getting tickets for Paris.

 

[prbiker15]

So we're looking at 23 songs tonight?

[Pop Artist]

Same as always though... Instead of a recorded song pretending to be live, they just went full recorded to open. However I think RFD will be in every show this leg so there will now be zero rotation.

 

[prbiker15]

And that's it.

[mofo82]

Damn the end of 13 is just dying to transition into Bad or Little Things

 

[Y2K]

For those who have never seen, here is the clip from the intro: Charlie Chaplin's 1940 political satire "The Great Dictator":

 

[DRay9911]

I thought that cat didn’t talk
