Mexico City II Setlist Watch and Party Part II

[francy]

guys...i go to bed....it's 7.23 am......
good night!!!!!

 

[cleazer]

wow! that's a great setlist!

Agreed! I like the way they mixed things up tonight. Nothing quite radical, but definitely enough to make this concert stand out from the others on this tour! When I listen to recordings from this tour, tonight's show ought to really stand out!

Love the triple AB encore too. Reminds me of the encores from Leg 1. It'd be great if they'd make it a quadruple AB, and put UTEOTW in for WOWY.

 

[Lila64]

interesting with FC, OOTS and 40 at the end there
Can't wait to hear it!

goodnite francy - thanks for your help this evening/morning

 

[rafmed]

The show was great, the crowd again fantastic, the band looked as comfortable and happy as yesterday, Bono talked more more in spanish, Larry again went to the front of the stage at the end of the show and waved good bye to the crowd.

I was in the front row yesterday and I was in the stands tonight, so my apreciation can be affected by that, but I think that as good as tonight show was, maybe yesterday there was more passion.

You're awesome, thanks! That second encore is pretty neat if you ask me. U2

By the way, what does "Inicio Acustico, Termina Full Band" mean?

 

[cleazer]

By the way, what does "Inicio Acustico, Termina Full Band" mean?

started acoustic, finished up full band

 

[Lila64]

means initially or started off acoustic, ended with full band

Gracias rafmed! There's nothing like being in the GA with the crowd. Always seems more intense there, or a different level...

 

[Miringeltje]

You don't have to know any Spanish to figure that one out!

 

[Axver]

Thanks for the translation - I take it that means it was done like the third leg version?

You don't have to know any Spanish to figure that one out!

I was rushing to post the set on U2VT so I didn't put any brainpower into trying to translate it.

Some more comments:

WOW!

MW and UTEOTW not being played back to back.

For a second there I thought Stuck had taken the place of OOTS.
I was already getting
Until I saw the second encore!
Woohoo!



And Fast Cars is back.

Hurray!
I had high hopes that it would return.
So glad it did!

So no Bad for Mexico City, huh?

I'd like to know what this El Rey song at the end of SYCMIOYO is. When I search on Google, all I seem to get are artists or venues called El Rey, not a song ...

 

[Lila64]

El Rey may be translated to The King, I think

some pics from this evening...

 

[coach]

Hello, hello people!!!!

I just got home from the concert!!!!!! It was amazing, Stuck in a moment was a real treat, so was fast car, only problem was that it seems i was the only one who knew it where i was standing!!!

I've to 9 vertigo shows in total, this was the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hands down

Download El REy by Vicente Fernandez. (Mexican Frank Sinatra)


Its freaking brilliant.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

that setlist is great

 

[ramblin rose]

Oh my God, Fast Cars is alive.

 

[chrissybaby]

okay, now i'm feeling that europe was short changed on the setlist front. I heard vertigo about 20 bloody times last summer and 40 none! Grrrrrrrrrr

 

[Lila64]

Oh my God, Fast Cars is alive.

 

[ntalwar]

So Bad was rehearsed and skipped for both shows.

 

[kellyahern]

Oh my God, Fast Cars is alive.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

If bad had been in that setlist it would have been even better and perhaps the first time just cause i love that song

 

[one4u2]

Fast Cars

El Rey is a very popular folk song in Mexico is from Jose Alfredo Jimenez, a prolific writer in the 50's and 60's.

EL REY

Yo se bien que estoy afuera
pero el día que yo me muera
se que tendrás que llorar
dirás que no me quisiste
pero vas a estar muy triste
y así te vas a quedar

Con dinero y sin dinero
hago siempre lo que quiero
y mi palabra es la ley
no tengo trono ni reyna
ni nadie que me comprenca
pero sigo siendo el rey

Una piedra en el camino
me enseñó que mi destino
era rodar y rodar
despues me dijo un arriero
que no hay que llegar primero
pero hay que saber llegar

Con dinero y sin dinero
hago siempre lo que quiero
y mi palabra es la ley
no tengo trono ni reyna
ni nadie que me comprenca
pero sigo siendo el rey

Bono read this part at the end of Sometimes and the crowd picked up from there briefly.

"Una piedra en el camino
me enseñó que mi destino
era rodar y rodar"
