Good choice! No matter how much my tastes may evolve (primarily towards prog and obscure stuff), UF remains my favourite album of all time. It has such a beautiful, ethereal atmosphere.

I just realized, of the 4 concerts I saw last year, I only got to hear Zoo Station and The Fly just once. Yet Instant Karma twice. I wish it was reversed.

For me the biggest song surprises are First time (didn't even get played on Zoo TV), Miss Sarajevo (a Passengers song?!?) and One tree hill (not done since Lovetown, and I never expected to see any JT song past track no. 5 to make it back live).
Album-wise, definitely surprised to see the Boy and AB love on this tour.
I remember I changed the actual title to that for a while and the mods finally requested that I change it back to "watch"!bgmckinney

I don't think it's Dirty Old Town - I'm trying to find it too. It's clearly an Irish folk song, one about mining, presumably with the november-remember lyric improved by Bono to fit the occassion.

From Listening back off Bootlegs, Instant Karma reminds me of why U2 would never work as a cover band....I just didnt like how it sounded.

It would be good to hear A Celebration as well. Remember the shady reports from the Mexican rehearsals that this was being played?

Oh, yes, I think I'd have to consider The First Time to be an even greater surprise than The Ocean. That was mindblowing. It was the first time a song made its live debut on a tour later than the tour promoting the album its from.
Miss Sarajevo's return stunned me too. Doesn't Bono love Your Blue Room? It would be great if they dusted that one off next tour.
The Boy love on this tour was sensational. I hope it continues.

Do you get the feeling that if Bono had have dropped his Warriors jacket out at any part of the show but the beginning of the show it would've gone down like a lead balloon.
He's probably just gone, who is the home team at this place? Without knowing the apathy that most of Auckland seems to have towards them now.

Agree! I think its because TUF is mixed and mastered really nicely. Unlike Bomb for instance which is just too loud, everything is just maxed out. TUF has depth.Axver said:

They closed with All I Want Is You? WOW.

I know some folk have suggested Springhill Mining Disaster, but it really doesn't sound like SMD's melody to me.
There's one point in there where I feel like Bono's just about to sing "dreamed a dream by the old canal", so that's why I get a Dirty Old Town feel.

Wait for them to start winning, Auckland will love them again!

It was OK, and somewhat special just because they have not done that very often, but like I said...we would have MUCH preferred a U2 song, especially The Fly! It would've been awesome to thrash around to that from the first and second row in front of the stage!bono_man2002 said:

U2 continue to surprise.

I've always felt it didn't qualify because it was played on the first tour immediately after its release as a single, and would never had been done were it not for that single. I guess you can argue that one both ways on technicalities.
(By the way, it was snippeted once on Lovetown.)

I wanted AIWIY to be played in Australia! I saw 7 shows and didn't get it once. Now I'm jealous.
