Melbourne 1 - Setlist Party!

[KUEFC09U2]

Did Ax record any vids?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Meaningful, Vlad...

Who would've thought one measly symbol could mean so much?

Awesome show. We were LOUD and the boys liked that. The GA crowd near me (few rows back from the inner fence) went off.

Loved the setlist. I've not been following it closely so full of surprises. Wish they had played UV. 5 more nights for them to do this for me.

Totally spent. Woke up this morning at 5:45am to fly into Melbourne. Stood in the GA line from about 10:30am. Well worth it.

Bring on Friday...

Glad you enjoyed it.

( you Aussies would know-- I picked up that expression from the mighty 'Oils )

 

[coolian2]

Um, I don't want my 5 yr old to hear the lyrics that most hip-hop artists use?

to be honest i didn't think i heard more than a handful of "niggers" or "bitches" in his act, and that's most definitely not the part children would pick up on probably.

 

[U2FloridaFan]

oh I fully admit to having completely nonsensical bias when it comes to U2 and their songs . . . i have heard covers where my insides start to shrivel . . .

like Cher's version of ISHFWILF???

Glad you had a great time Andrew!! Now get some sleep!!!

 

[bonocomet]

I like that one!

 

[lauramullen]

I see that nothing new was played. I thought about getting up at 5am for this setlist party, but since we may not have sound I didn't think it would be worth it.

 

[kabigon]

Melbourne crowd in inner circle today was awesome (apart from one person near me who didn't move the entire time, even during Streets). I probably looked like an idiot the whole time but I had a blast When Mercy and Bad were played I was jumping out of my skin.

Bring on Friday!

[beachball]

I thought this setlist party needs some Stingray Guitar:

YouTube - U2 360 Tour - Melbourne, Australia - 1/12/2010 - Entry/Beau

If Bono can wind up the audience using his arm like that (after Stingray), they don't need hit songs

 

[reptile]

Wow....just in after post gig guinness.....inner circle was heaven...havnt been that close to the boys since 1984.....it was like seeing them in a club, in a stadium!....mercy/bad yes!......hold me was brilliant but i was hoping for UV....THIS NEXT BIT IS A SET SPOILER SO TURN AWAY NOW IF YOUR NEEDS BE...i met one of the video crew at the elephant and wheelbarrow post show and he say UV will be played on friday( yey!!!) and mercy will be replaced by something more familiar ( doh! ) Also they soundchecked Boy who fell from the sky but wernt happy with it...

 

[lauramullen]

One of my friends was the girl on stage tonight.

 

[kabigon]

mercy will be replaced by something more familiar ( doh!

I'd be surprised if Pride wasn't played in at least one Melbourne show so that could make up one of the two post-ISHFWILF slots. Maybe something from Rattle & Hum for the other one?

[lauramullen]

Pretty.

 

[JoRu]

Wow, epic shot! I'm guessing that was during UTEOTW.

 

[daygloeyes2]

I've been secretly wanting them to get Jay Z rapping over the intro to Streets just to see the all time shit-storm it creates. I would not be able to refresh that thread fast enough.

New sig!

 

[The_Edge89]

Wow, epic shot! I'm guessing that was during UTEOTW.

The Gibson Explorer tells me it's taken either during the opening three songs or In A Little While. I'm guessing Beautiful Day.
