Thank you for the setlist and all the details. This sounded really good! Great setlist, and I would so love to here ISHFWILF with the While snippet! Seems the boys are getting better every day!
Is this the first time IALW has been snippeted on the back of ISHFWILF?last unicorn said:Thank you for the setlist and all the details. This sounded really good! Great setlist, and I would so love to here ISHFWILF with the While snippet! Seems the boys are getting better every day!
Hmmm... With Or Without You was after The Fly. The "let's try something different thing" did lead to Desire but it was Angel Of Harlem that was meant to be played instead. The other two shows had Angel Of Harlem at this point. I can't think where I heard Mysterious Ways start like you say. I could be wrong of course and I'd love to hear Mysterious Ways!Hawkmoon26969 said:Is it just me, or did I hear a few seconds of the usual opening rhythm track for "Mysterious Ways" just after "The Fly"? It suddenly cut-off and I heard Bono say something like "let's try something different" and they launched into Desire..anyone else catch this?

No, it was quite common on the third leg.
Definitely just you, as Desire followed Saints, not The Fly! I didn't hear the opening rythym of MW after The Fly, but I could have sworn I heard something that reminded me of Walk On before they decided to do Desire. Maybe I was just hearing things.
I reckon the setlist was meant to as per the other two shows... The Saints Are Coming and Angel Of Harlem and they did Desire instead of Angel Of Harlem. I say this because I was near enough to see what Dallas was doing and after The Saints Are Coming (which Edge uses his Explorer for) Dallas never came out to give Edge another guitar (Walk On would need a change) and instead Edge kept his Explorer (as if would be the case if they were to play Angel Of Harlem) but instead it became Desire.Axver said:

Axver said:Hi folks, great show, quite a bit better than in Brisbane. Desire was a bit of a surprise - ramshackle but very fun.
I just put the setlist up on U2VT. Not sure if you guys have it. I checked the last couple of pages and the set I saw seemed lacking on snippets. Forgive me if this is a bit of a repeat - I want to head to bed so I haven't read much of this thread.

I didn't hear any sequencer myself at that point in the show. I was probably going too nuts. I really loved tonight, almost cried a few times (and not ashamed to admit it). I love these guys.Hawkmoon26969 said:
I agree, but I definitely heard a few seconds of some kind of sequencer track - I'm assuming it was just accidentally triggered.

But two of you now say you heard something so I wonder was there another song planned?
BTW... Dallas spend AGES before the show stuffing about down near all of Edges pedals. I reckon there was some sort of problem. In the end his walking around with various guitars was very rushed (he was running) and I reckon this is because of the earlier problem. Did anyone observe this?
Hawkmoon26969 said:
Yes, it was just a couple of seconds of a shaker-like rhythm. Exactly like MW (think ZooTV - but without the deep bass).
Ok, bed!!
AndrewCowley said:
Bed... for those that don't know... it's 2:30am here in Sydney and I just want to write posts about the show. No time for bed! Plus I'm bloody hungry. I joined the GA line at 10:30am and I haven't eaten much.
Hey with MW after the Brisbane show someone posted here saying MW was on the setlist but not played. There was never any discussion on this so I don't know if its true or not. But maybe it was the same tonight?
Blue Room said:Full band Desire. All I can say about that is its about f***in time! That is the only way the song should be done anyway. I didnt read through the whole setlist thread but was Desire like Lovetown or like Zoo TV?
AndrewCowley said:Axver, whereabouts were you? GA? In the fenced area?
U2Girl1978 said:Gold Digger as in Kanye West's Gold Digger?
Jesus, I was near you then! I was next to Edge's b-stage but probably a little further back than you. I was sort of in between the two b-stages but very close to Edge's one.Axver said:
Yep, I was GA, in the inner zone between Edge's b-stage and the main stage. I was the one who headbanged all through The Fly and looked like a nut!

I'm thinking hard, but I didn't see you. I could see the guy with the daughter on his shoulders at the end, so I know exactly where you were. I was probably 10m from you. Cool.Axver said:
I was closer to Edge's b-stage too, especially initially - as the show progressed, I seemed to move a bit closer to the main stage, though not through any deliberate effort.
I might have actually seen you. I stand out - I'm an albino with a mop of light blonde/white hair that I used to full headbanging effect during The Fly! (Even lost an earplug in the process.) I was hanging around with a group of Germans who were taking photos. I was also pretty close at the start to the very short woman who was standing on a backpack to see, and by the encores, I was beside the guy who had his daughter on his shoulders.
AndrewCowley said:Where else are you doing GA? I have GA for Adelaide and Melbourne 2 and I am trying right now to swap my A reserve for tomorrow's Sydney 3 for a GA. Anyone interested? I am hooked on GA now! Lining up wasn't too bad after all and it is well worth the effort.
