Sphere #4 - 7 Oct Setlist Party

[dan_smee]

Howdy all,

Couple of sound check spoilers doing the rounds of u2start - when I can get to my laptop I’ll post them in a spoiler.

Have fun all those going!

 

[88mph]

What they've rehearsed has me excited for the other possibilities that could surround it...

Also, has anyone seen an image of the actual setlist from the stage?

 

[dstalksalot]

Where does everyone find the stream links for these shows?

 

[88mph]

U2songs has had a mixlr link for every show so far that has had great audio. Opening night there were several Tik Tok streams and a YouTube live streamer. I didn't find any video for nights 2 and 3 but I didn't look too hard.

 

[dstalksalot]

Thanks 88. I'm hooked.

 

[88mph]

I'm planning on tuning in tonight so if I catch any links floating around I'll try to throw them in here

Not to steal Dan's thunder but the two songs rehearsed earlier this week were

Spoiler

Bad and Pride, both SOS versions

I kind of think AIWIY is going to be played every night and then they'll go into 2-3 other album tracks. Fingers crossed for A Sort of Homecoming to round it out but that's a pipe dream. Bono will probably sing MLK if anything.

 

[88mph]

Here is U2songs' Mixlr link, but I have no confirmation it'll be live like it has been the last 3 shows.

Worth a shot!

All good - I appreciate it because I got side tracked!

 

[88mph]

Do we still post spoiler tags in setlist party threads? I guess I don't know the etiquette in these.

Either way, reports from inside the venue that they did Pride again at soundcheck today.

 

[88mph]

That U2songs Mixlr link is now live, too

Lemon segueing into Zoo Station...we're off

To nobody's surprise, The Fly and EBTTRT follow!

Strong Zoo Station, and probably the best Fly solo so far even though Edge still can't seem to nail it all the way through. I think Bono sounds pretty strong on EBTTRT too. I really do think they're getting much better as they keep going.

 

[womanfish]

Bono finally loosening up. EBTTRT sounding fantastic tonight.

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

They are sounding really good and totally revitalized. Looking forward to just how good it gets towards the end of the Vegas run.

 

[dstalksalot]

MW is sounding sassy.

 

[88mph]

Bono is fucking KILLING IT tonight

 

[womanfish]

Yeah, Bono is finally having fun. MW, EBTTRT, were almost 91-93 level. Nailed the falsetto on One. Go on Bono

 

[dstalksalot]

Falsetto has been nice the last two shows. I'm excited to hear so cruel.

[U2inUtah]

lol what is this vows thing?

 

[88mph]

Horrible interaction in Tryin'

Gotta compensate for having a great vocal night somehow!

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Maybe they shoulda cut that song a little short….

 

[U2inUtah]

yeah it was cringy

 

[U2inUtah]

still haven't found!

 

[clerks]

Only To Be With You...

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Our first setlist variation of the residency! ISHFWILF

Only part of show that doesn't work... cut that dumb balloon bit...

 

[nitebusnitebus]

Tryin is way too good a song to be bogged down by the balloon thing


Still Haven't Found sounds great. I would've formerly been thrilled by the Movin' on Up love here, but I fell out of love with Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes...

Pride SOS sort of
