ONE love, blood, life
Def the same song - the earlier clips seemed to have more of the bass and drums though - I did only catch the end of it on this stream - hopefully someone captured it!
I would also expect Desire to be a certaintySeems like 20 unique songs played.
Notable omissions include IWF, anything between 2000-2017

Tomorrow is another day. Silence.
House lights are on inside. Must have an 11:30 curfew.

+ an unknown song
Currently sounds a bit like the unknown song from before again
BD was after TJT. it went BD/Ultraviolet/One/Sarajevo/new song...which would be a strong end to the show. I particularly liked BD/Ultraviolet as a transition.
I know we have more rehearsals to come but I think we had some surprises here for sure. no IWF/Vertigo were surprising but I won't be surprised if they show up as the week goes on.
Wait, they played the new/unknown song again?
as the last song. and honestly? it sounded like it could actually be a show closer!Wait, they played the new/unknown song again?
Could you make out anything distinctive in this mysterious 'new' song?
Only one track from 2000 onwards? Sign me the hell up for that.
Streets x1. Drone intro felt longer than usual
Funny side note is they had a couple power washer cleaning the side walks with noisey water spray. They were only out there when the band was playing and having them work at 8pm must have been some nice overtime. One way to ensure no listenable audio gets out from ground level. Traffic and skateboarders make things even tougher.

I saw one and heard of those pressure washing guys working by the Sports museum earlier. Nobody was on the false creek side though by gate E and a lot less road noise there too. There was even a pressure washer cleaning the sidewalk at Cambie and Smithe. Are they paying people to create extra white noise around the venue?
You can absolutely bet on it. BC Place isn't as sonically airtight as Rogers or the PNE Arena, where they rehearsed last time, I believe..
I heard them work on about 6 songs over 60-70 minutes before going home....thinking they were done for the night. I didn't hear any songs "connected" and they was usually about 5 mins of nothing audible between each song/take.
Miss Sarajevo x 2. First was mostly Bono/Edge on guitar. Seconds was full band, Edge on guitar and Terry doing drone/wash/Eno stuff. Both versions included Pavarotti doing his verse which I find a bit lame. Is there a 2017 political angle with this song choice that I'm missing?
new song x2 Initially I thought it was a JT b-side like Walk on Water or Luminous. Full band with Edge on prominent piano part. heavy drum ending with Edge ripping on a guitar solo. I like the laid back feel of this one. Ending has the "feel it" repeated a bunch of times.
Streets x1. Drone intro felt longer than usual, I'm sure the production has some thing fun of that part of the song. Bono seemed more energetic that recent tours and did the "Burning Down Love" line in full voice.
Red Hill Mining Town x 2 heavy drum intro before the usual guitar bit. I think it's Edge on the church organ sounding chords while singing some choirboy "woo"parts. Bono is better than I expected, but he's picking and choosing the high parts. 2nd verse was low key "talk-sing". Some Bono notes are full power, some thin, some dropped an octave.
Sunday x1. I think it's dropped 2 semi-tones, so it sounds much better than 360. Faithful to the 80's arrangement, but the tempo is faster than 2001, no where near Red Rocks intense and no Bono detours. Had a bit of a "lets get through this in 3 minutes" vibe to it.
New Years Day like UTEOTW I can happily hear this song on an endless loop. Edge is on fire and awesome as always, but it sounds funny to me dropped 2-3 semi tones. Bass part looses it's bite. Bono frankly soundly really bored/distracted. Last verse was instrumental

I did get a quick hello with Gavin when he briefly stepped outside.

I wonder if it might be officially released anytime soon?
