Sydney 1 Setlist & Watch Party

[bono_man2002]

possibly in the encore?

I'm expecting "40" or even...Vertigo X2 to close at least one of these shows.

Stuck Is a Possiblity....Walk On could even be shuffled around to close?

Maybe they'll do a 40 minute version of Mofo to close the show with edge on saxaphone

 

[Axver]

Setlist:
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
Elevation
Until The End Of The World
New Year's Day
Beautiful Day
Yahweh

Geez, get it right. Edge is going to play the OBOE.

you may have been wrong on your prediction

 

[beLIEve_ZOO121]

Any news on snippets played during songs?

 

[celticbhoy]

i think they'll add in stuck for walk on and something else to replace angel of harlem.....
they'll want to bed down the brisbane set before experimenting as it were......

 

[bono_man2002]

Geez, get it right. Edge is going to play the OBOE.

I think the Sax would be awsome, If Edge's head didnt combust during the main guitar riff of Mofo.

 

[Axver]

I'm going to pick Stuck In A Moment either next, or in the encore.

Any news on snippets played during songs?

Nope, though hopefully Liam will fill me in after the show.

Not drinking anything, except maybe some water. Trying to do some work simultaneously

 

[Axver]

Axver, what do you think the story is on Mysterious Ways being AWOL from the setlist?

It's not truly AWOL. The majority of the European gigs had just ZS/Fly/WOWY as their first encore.

 

[The Lalat]

It has just started to rain in Sydney

"I see the raincloud dissappear without a trace"!!!!

Sydney radar shows rain's passed over out to sea and no more rain in sight on the radar: mirror.bom.gov.au/products/IDR032.loop.shtml

(for those who don't know, concert is being held between "parramatta" and "sydney" on that map.

That was a quicker setlist party than usual. Did they play them as if they were Ramones cover songs?

 

[celticbhoy]

all because of you and miracle drug are both absent so far ........although i cant say i'm unhappy that aboy is missing

I should be studying too, but I'm just working on a review of the Brisbane gig for U2VT!

 

[Axver]

Heh, nor am I. I felt that Miracle Drug, SYCMIOYO, One, and ABOY were the four weak songs out of all of the tunes I heard at my three shows last year. I'm not disappointed Miracle Drug and ABOY have now vanished, and I wish SYCMIOYO would take a hike. One in Brisbane was not as bad as some other recent performances, mercifully enough.

 

[U2FanPeter]

10 songs in and only one that is pre-1990. What is this, ZOOTV?

 

[bono_man2002]

ABOY was 'a rockin' on the third leg (from the bootlegs), it seemed to go up a notch on the 3rd leg.

 

[U2_Neat]

i agree, except for Miracle Drug.
edge's solo, and singing are well worth it!
