Vancouver #1 setlist party (part 2)

[Lila64]

Any more pics like this? Great shot!

His bio said he's a professional photographer. Great shot indeed!

I just woke up here in Holland. Predictable setlist, but what's more important: how did they sound?

 

[catlhere]

Put Bad after ISHF. Much better go-home song.

Other than that, woohoo! U2 is back. I'm pumped to see how the show starts to evolve now, even after just 1 night.

 

[coach]

Okay, pick the 7 songs that rotate out

OOC
IWF
Sweetest Thing
Pride
Wowy
BD
ISHF

It was an interesting opening night! Hope the shows from now on get better...looking forward to videos and reactions!

I thought the opening set was great. 2nd set was good. Encore was disappointing. They'll get rolling, though.

2 - out of control (probably on any shows that i go to)
4 - i will follow
13 - mysterious ways
14 - desire
15 - sweetest thing
19 - the troubles
24 - i still haven't found what i'm looking for

they're not going to rotate out Out of Control. it fits the beginning of the show...first moment of discovery into the first single. Bono is able to introduce the band with it. it works perfectly.

That stage needs a lot of things. It is begging to be utilized more than it was. Cedarwood Road was THE highlight, largely due to the use of the screen. I'm very surprised they didn't do that type of thing for more of the show.

Not good. Bono flubbed lines all night and Edge and Adam had their struggles (Edge with OOC, Adam with COBL). But it was really Bono sounding really unprepared. He also could not vocally handle Every Breaking Wave.

Intermission is only 5 minutes.

COBL/BD/Streets was solid but it needed one more to take it over the edge.

2nd set was great. even Pride somehow worked well.

 

[cleazer]

Is the bootleg up yet???

Link???

 

[AndrewCowley]

So they were on stage playing for how long? Can't have been much more than 2 hours. Too short.

 

[coach]

I'm curious about the new PA system that hangs from the ceiling. Any word on that?

It's been a lovely evening ladies and gents.
Bring on the tour!

Is it July yet?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Not a single wow moment in that entire setlist. They swapped out mediocre NLOTH songs with mediocre SOI songs and then punched you in the face with the same old retreads. I was excited to be excited tonight. Oh well. Will pass on the Phoenix show.

Sure you were, that's very believable!

2 hours and 15-20 minutes.

Lots of flubbed lyrics and bridges. 1024587340 snippets. Bono started preaching again.

 

[Sicy]

Is it over? What time did it end? Just checking in.

 

[akann]

Apart from Streets, does anyone really care for their staple songs anymore? Pride, WOWY, BD, Bad, COBL, ISHF, One and MW just seem a bit meh to me these days.

 

[coach]

It ended like 10 mins ago.

 

[AndrewCowley]

One can assume it stayed up and sound came out.

 

[bobsaget77]

I think the 1st half is gonna stay the same every night. 2nd half clearly has a lotta room for improvement and variation.
Invisible-Better-MW-Desire was a very solid opening. Then I'm guessing the next spot will have heavy variation.
EBW-Bullet is a lock.
Troubles might rotate with RTSS and OSC
WOWY might rotate with One
Encore needs some work....
COBL is a lock. BD is lock. Streets is a lock. But there's gotta be something in between and there needs to be another encore.

One day I really want to get my hands on one of these

 

[DRay9911]

talk about production notes on that setlist...

and that's why the setlist will never, ever, be flipped on it's ass

Yeah, visuals of Cedarwood road were Plus the waves, with Edge up there (forgot which song UTEOTW?). Missed the stream for Invisible, will have to search for a video on YouTube now.

Bad isn't a staple, it's just old. And it's still great.

 

[nitebusnitebus]

highlights were: opening four (very rock opening), Cedarwood Road, SBS/RBW/UTEOTW, opening four of the second act, Bullet

it was kind of impressive to actually hear it all in order. Bullet and Pride sound way refocused.

Sicilicious, you're late.
