East Rutherford Setlist Party Thread II

[MTEdge]

There's a reason I'm taking a pen and paper to the Boston shows - so that I have a record! I'm going to put Bullet With Butterfly Wings into Electric Co., and if it is actually in Vertigo, I can easily change it.

It was Electric Co. The show was amazing. Bono pushed himself to the limit to pay back the crowd's energy. It may have been the best "crowd" show of the tour so far. I can't wait for tomorrow night! GA's again, baby!

Diane L is the source for tomorrow night's show.

I was just watching a bit of video I took, and just want to note that Regrets was added to the end of Sometimes...

How many shows have you made it to? And where did you end up with your GA tonite?

Chizip - where's this elusive picture of you? When you arrive for my massage, I want to be ready, LOL

 

[Chizip]

Second show of tour (Philly I being #1). I have tomorrow (GA's) and NYC (Section 40) left to go for Leg 1.

I was three human rows outside the ellipse on The Edge's side. We could've been two rows out or even on the rail, but I had to go the boys' room after making it on to the floor. FYI, I lined up at 5:30 p.m.

I'm not sure if it's been publicized yet, but ALL U2.com members (that included non-fan club ppl who bought pre-sale fan club GA holders off of ebay and fan club members) were allowed into the arena FIRST. That line was followed by the non-U2.com line (i.e., non-fan club members holding general sale GA's).

The fan club line was nearly 1000 ppl long before that line of ppl was allowed in.

[Lila64]

Nice pics Headache! (see avatar!)

 

[bono_man2002]

Saw the set, looked like an awsome show....the longest this tour?

whats the point of playing vertigo twice?
if they want to rock the audience after 40 there are plenty of other tunes - out of control, iwill follow etc etc
i think its plain stupid.
its not 81 anymore.
switching one or two tunes around doesn't make for variety.

how can you say that when you wasnt even there?, me personally i wouldnt know how it went simply because i wasnt there, so we cant call it stupid, and the word encore stands for again,

 

[U2FanPeter]

Has any version of VERTIGO contained the ramones(gabba-gabba-hey) excerpt since SEA2?

Won't ask about the story, but will ask what time the band showed up, so as to be prepared for today . . .

 

[Diane L]

YES, Headache, what time did the band show up???? I HAVE to be at the Meadowlands around then today!!
And ADAM was signing autographs...ADAM!!!!!
I'm so glad you, of all people, got to meet them!!!

 

[WinnieThePoo]

The band clearly like the song and have a passion for playing it, and those there always say it rocks.

But yeah, I really don't see why they don't do I Will Follow or Out Of Control or something like that.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Uh, cos it's the "Vertigo Tour" maybe?????

(they do have a CD to flog!)

 

[bigwali]

I agree with Axver. Everyone at the concert loves it but why not add "I will Follow" and why remove "New Years Day!". Bono must really really love this song.

 

[TwoAmericas]

Adam looks cool, especially with that shirt and those shades.

Nice.

adam came in in a lincoln towncar around 3:20, drove past the crowd and down the ramp with just a short wave

about 10 minutes later a black chevy SUV pulls up and we can see bono in the back seat. the truck stops right before the ramp, and the door swings open and there is the wee little fella in the flesh... lookin' like he had about 30 pints the night before. he didn't want to pose with anyone for pictures, just went quickly through the line shaking everyone's hand.

a couple of minutes after bono got back in the truck and went down the ramp, adam walks up from the ramp and starts signing autographs and posing for pictures.

while he's about half way down the line, the edge rolls in in a lincoln towncar... the car starts going down the ramp, then stops... edge gets out and walks past the line briefly, shaking a few hands... he gets to adam and whispers something in his ear, then waves to the line and heads back down the ramp.

larry just drove right by.

if any of you know "tattoo dan"... he got adam to sign his arm, which he's gonna go get tattooed on today. he's got everyone but larry's signiture tattooed to his body

SAD

 

[Diane L]

Thanks for the info, Headache!

*prepares to leave Long Island for the Meadowlands*

 

[kellyahern]

Have a good time tonight Diane!

 

[Russty Cat]

Headache are we gonna get the full story?

Thanks for sharing the great pics!

 

[pxlphish]

I just don't get it. First of all why people watch these setlists --- they are all the same. Second, playing Vertico isn't even spontaneous -- THEY"VE done it before. Doesn't even seem like a live act to me. Change up the selists, loosen up U2 ... IMHO.
