[Miringeltje]

Wake Up
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo / She Loves You (Snippet)
Elevation
I Will Follow
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / In A Little While (Snippet)
Beautiful Day / Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Snippet)
Window In The Skies
Walk On (acoustic)
Sometimes You Can't make It On Your Own
Bad / '40' (Snippet)

Woah!

 

[gmc]

Maybe they'll throw in Fast Cars in recognition of the Japanese car industry.

 

[Axver]

UTEOTW has been interchaged with IWF, so i don't think it will play tonight if IWF has been!

Not quite. At Sydney III, both IWF and UTEOTW were done: IWF after Elevation and UTEOTW to open the encore.

1 3 hill is only relevant in nz. and they are only 10 songs into this set. and yet it has more goodies than any other show on the vertigo tour already.

Fast Prius?

Only relevant in NZ? It's been played 38 times live. Only 6 of those were in NZ. The best one was in Dublin.

You might as well say Streets is only relevant in Ethiopia or Please only relevant in Ireland.

 

[Copy]

its a nz song.

 

[Pop Artist]

Ahh, I popped in expecting the show to be over, but then I remembered the time difference is not as insane now and it's going on now. Anyway...

They played WITS?? Didn't think they'd get that one together for this tour...

[Axver]

its a nz song.

And SBS and Please are Ireland songs. Can they only be played in Dublin?

 

[dazzlingamy]

Oh i didn't know that Axver! (i missed syd III) well i stand corrected...but i dont think it will show up

i think it will be

the fly
mysteriousways
wowy
saints
desire
kite


do we think they'll trot kite out as an ending, or end on somethign else? like double vertigo again?

 

[Copy]

no but they are more relevant in dublin

 

[RavenBlue]

No LAPOE again?

 

[silvrlvr]

Listen, they deserve a good show. GA costs the equivalent of $100 US. And I'm sure everything else at Super Saitama is Super Expensive.

I don't want to sound disrespectful,but reading through the forums of the last few days,I didn't gauge how significant One Tree Hill really meant to the people of New Zealand until now.Any song U2 play is relevant anywhere.

 

[dazzlingamy]

Am i the only one that finds Bono's 'rock the casbah' VERY SEXY? I just love how he sings it so slowly the shareeeeeef dun liiik et....rock the caaaaasbaaaah rock the caaaaaasbah....

I think you're right except for one part: I'd say Angel Of Harlem rather than Desire. Thus far, Angel has been the first night's post-Saints song and Desire been used on the second night.

Then again, ISHFWILF was a second night song and that's just been shot to Hell, so ...

 

[bono_man2002]

I've no further updates from Walk On

Thanks Guys!

 

[bgmckinney]

So LAPOE once more gives up its place for Bad - I'm not sure I understand why. Any ideas? (Aside from the fact that when one songs gets added, another gets dropped.)

 

[RavenBlue]

Well I'd say they're definitly getting their moneys worth tonight... today.. whatever

 

[Copy]

now they have started playing shit.

The original set for Auckland II actually had LAPOE rather than Bad, so it seems like it was quite a late addition.

I just wish something weaker had made way for Bad rather than a really good live song. SYCMIOYO would not be missed.

That must be where they recoup the costs of flying stuff to NZ

Maybe not by you
SYCMIOYO is my favorite Bomb song live.
Course having said that they can drop anything for Bad, anytime.

 

[silvrlvr]

Ito Okashi?

 

[dazzlingamy]

yeah not sure why LAPOE was dropped...it performs REALLY well in concert and is relevent as its from bomb etc...it is seamless into SBS, and gets larry out onto the bstages!!

maybe they won't play Desire as it has dirty lyrics and Japan crowd will be shocked?
