Saitama III Setlist Watch and Party

[adrball]

Hi all

 

[bono_man2002]

Yes, OOTS was one of the songs rehearsed at Melbourne I.

That's getting over 3 weeks ago...

Bono would have forgot the words by now.

 

[kennerado]

God Part 2 would be pretty cool

 

[Mirrorballman83]

no surprises in the soundcheck of Auckland I if I remember well

Vertigo, MW, Cobl and OTH I remember...

 

[Axver]

I am very surprised LAPOE has become a sometimes only song. Of the shows I saw (all 7 Australian shows) it was a major standout. For a Bomb song the crowds were really into it. And it segues really well into SBS.

I just find it so odd that after over 120 consecutive concert appearances, it has vanished from the last three sets. Or more to the point, last two. It was on the original Auckland II set; Bad was evidently a very late substitution.

 

[kennerado]

LAPOE was sweet because I was right there next to the b-stage. It sucks they dropped it.

Wow, has there been this many Vertigo shows? I knew it'd be around 100, but I didn't know as many as 120. So it will rank as 2nd to Zoo TV in terms of number of shows.

Hahaha. Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

Ah, yeah, I think I remember hearing Vertigo too. The problem was that from my position in the Supertop, I couldn't be sure if it was the radio outside or the band themselves. The COBL intro seemed really distinctively live though.

ABOY is a bit like that too...Sure it missed a few Europe shows, (some US as well?, and some South America)

Now gone Completely for This leg.

 

[adrball]

LAPOE being dropped is a bigger surprise to me that the inclusion of Miss Sarajevo. U2 ripped the DNA out of the Vertigo Tour by leaving it out.

 

[Axver]

It's at 131 right now, plus 132 for the public San Diego rehearsal, and I doubt many would count it, but 133 if you include the Brussels rehearsal (I can't decide quite how to list that rehearsal on U2VT).

So yes, second to ZooTV both in total shows.

 

[Axver]

ABOY's at 98 Vertigo Tour performances (though it made its century; pre-tour performances bring its total to 105). It missed a couple in Europe and a fair chunk late in the third leg. It only appeared twice at the eight Latin American shows.

 

[Axver]

Hey, by the way, does anyone here have a copy of Mysterious Ways from 1997-08-28, Leeds that they could possibly upload for me? It'd be much appreciated!

So it suffed the same fate as WOWY on the 3rd Leg of Elevation......Technically.

Should have been played at Sydney 3 or Melbourne 2!

I have that show at home. Can send it to you later.

Not really. WOWY vanished after three gigs, never to return on the tour (hooray!). ABOY's appearances just became quite intermittent. For example, it appeared at only two December 2005 gigs - and one was as part of the spontaneous Boston third encore!

 

[bono_man2002]

Right.

Well, I'm going to do some study...I'll be back in an hour or so.

 

[Axver]

That would rock, if nobody else gets onto it sooner. I have the whole show except for that song on my computer. I definitely used to have a bootleg that contained the complete show, but I must have misplaced it somewhere because I can't find it now ...

Of course, it doesn't help that last time I moved, my bootlegs, formerly neatly sorted, were thrown out of order.

 

[Axver]

Right.

Well, I'm going to do some study...I'll be back in an hour or so.

STUDY IS FOR THE WEAK!!!! THE SETLIST PARTY CONTROLS YOUR MIND!!!!

Setlist Party: Like the Supreme Soviet, only with U2 music.

 

[AndrewCowley]

Hey regarding Mysterious Ways from 1997-08-28, I've got a radio broadcast of that show but in my version MW is from an audience recording. Anyone know was it part of the radio broadcast or not?

Well, if my exam wasn't $290 to sit....then yeah....I wouldnt mind hanging around

In Mother Russia, U2 listens to you (hey wait a minute?)

 

[pjotr]

Morning everyone!

 

[Axver]

That wouldn't be a bad thing. The Electric Co. would still be in the setlist if U2 listened to what I had to say.

I believe it was omitted from the radio broadcast and only some boots contain the audience MW.

 

[gmc]

Being at the Leeds show,where was it broadcast.Was it broadcast live?

 

[kennerado]

It was on French Radio. "Le Cock Up"

I don't have a clue! This was back in the days of being a 'casual' fan, only going to the local shows.
