Vancouver Setlist Party (OPENING NIGHT!)

[aMansAman]

The TJT30 Tour turns out to be the best thing that could happen to the band.... and the fans. Also in regards to new music. Let it slowly grow on the people being at the concerts. Let the fans talk about it/share it on different kinds of social media. Play it EVERY night ..... TLTTGYA (ouch) has the DNA for a strong strong U2 Song.

 

[BEAL]

The eenie meenie snippet on exit might be my favourite snippet ever

I was hoping Bono would hold a bat and smash someone's head

The new song seems ok. Very stripped down and decent little solo at the end by Edge.

If it's the lead single I'm just happy they're going away from the RAWK start.

 

[Nick66]

So after hearing so much about how relevant and urgent the songs on JT are now, any reports on how political the show was? Any comments from Bono, or changed lyrics, or video, reflecting the US political situation or the new rise of populism? Or even overt references to Trump?

The set list and stage look fantastic, and I'm more excited for this show than I have been a U2 show in years. Best decision U2 has made in a long, long time.

 

[Mack_Again]

"Poverty is sexist" or something like that appeared during the show, right? I feel like ONE campaign is saying similar thin recently

I didn't see any yet but I heard that were moments of Bono having a red hot go at Trump

Yeah, the new song seems to have some substance to it. Really want to hear a studio version of it, but I gues that's a bit further down the road.

Just happy that SOE is important enough in their minds to pick a song from it as a show closer.

Watching these u2gigs (thank you so much) videos, I'd pick Exit and TTYW as the highlights.

On the other hand, how they can sit down and decide to do WOWY without the 'We'll shine like stars' outro is beyond me.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

For those that were there how was the reaction to the new song? Did people start filing out like with MOS?

What time did the house lights go on?

Just watched the Exit performance and there are some there for sure.

 

[TheGeekyU2Fan]

I love that album.

Save​

Me too

 

[Nick66]

That Exit performance is pretty cool...as opposed to some of the others where I think Bono looks a little bored.

 

[david]

Dang, this version of Streets with the accompanying video is magical.

 

[ntalwar]

Great videos/performances. I didn't care much for the synth effect in ASOH.

It seems that it is working now but not forever.

 

[RioRhodes]

Me too

I like it far more than SOI, and loved 360 a million times over the IE tour.

360 was the high water mark for U2.

 

[CMIS]

I wasnt there. Which is why I said having watched the u2gigs videos.

Sarcasm?

 

[Nick66]

360 was the high water mark for U2.

Um, no.

How many pre-360 shows have you seen? (in person)

 

[jimyc]

The beginning of Streets from inside and from outside (during rehearsals) all the colour comes entirely from the video screen

BTW had a great time once I got inside. GA line was a gong show. I ended up on the rail (of the red zone) left of the b stage.

I still can't believe the did they first 5 songs on the b stage

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Did no one record IGC? I haven't seen a single video for it on YouTube yet...

The "trump movie" is absolutely hilarious.

 

[Northside]

The "trump movie" is absolutely hilarious.

Seriously. I had no idea that existed.

There was also the "trump movie"

I fucking love how the tree disappears when the lights turn on.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

eeny meeny miney mo needs to eeny meeny miney go

 

[popacrobat]

playing armchair setlist QB, the only song that sticks out to me as needing to go/significantly change is Miss Sarajevo. maybe being there will be different, but with the canned opera part, it didn't do much for me.

 

[superchuk5]

Just watched the clip of Exit, and wow that Trump movie was totally unexpected and hilarious and awesome. Great way to modernize the song.
