Tonight was fantastic! The screen was absolutely insane,; I was at the front of the stage, only about 6 people in front of me. I'll post some pics later, but I was right in front of Bono and had a great view. It felt like I was driving down the road with the band when Streets was played. Such a great experience!

What time did you have to line up to get that spot? What time do you reckon a person would have to arrive in line to get a spot along the catwalk or on a rail around the bstage?
 
We will likely end up with great quality versions of every song within 12 hours of the show ending!

These tapers are the best!
 
I think I've got 95% of the lyrics down, will type them in a minute, but very interesting to listen to The Little Things but read 'The Morning After Innocence' over it:

The Morning After Innocence."
I was living a lie. I was calling it a compromise.
I was making bad deals in front of everyone's eyes. Deals now everyone denies. I was giving evidence in the court of the hearts desire, falsifying documents, virtue thrown in the fire.
Sometimes I wish that I was stupid and you were not so smart. Overcome the head will always overcome the heart.
Lead me in the way I should go. I'm running out of chances to blow.
That's what you told me and you should know. Lead me in the way I should be. Unravel the mystery of the heart and its defense. The morning after innocence.
Is that your fountain pen? Navy with a nib of gold.
Could you write your name again and do anything you were told in 10 Cedarwood Road. I'm your older self, the song of experience. I've come to ask for help from your song of innocence.
Lead me in the way I should go. I'm running out of chances to blow. That's what you told me and you should know.
 
OK, @u2 beat me:

"The Little Things That You Give Away"
The night gave you song
A light had been turned on
You walked out in the world
Like you belong there

As easy as a breeze
Each heart was yours to please
Is it only me who sees
There’s something wrong there

Oh, I’m not a ghost there
I can see you
You need to see me

It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It’s the little things that tease and betray
As the hunted I become the prey
It’s the little things
The little things that give you away

I saw you on the stairs
You didn’t notice I was there
That’s ‘cause you were talking at me
Not to me

You were high above the storm
A hurricane being born
What was freedom
It might cost you your liberty

It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It’s the little things that tease and betray
As the hunted I become the prey
It’s the little things
The little things that give you away

Sometimes
I can’t believe my existence
See myself on a distance
I can’t get back inside
Sometimes
The air is so anxious
All my tasks are so thankless
And all of my innocence has died
Sometimes
I wake at four in the morning
Where all the doubt is swarming
And it covers me in fear
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes
Full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear
Sometimes
The end is not dawning
It’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes, sometimes
I’m full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear
Sometimes
The end isn’t coming
It’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes
 
Though I think some are wrong - I think this is closer:

"The Little Things That You Give Away"
The night gave you song
A light had been turned on
You walked out in the world
Like you belong there

As easy as a breeze
Each heart was yours to please
Is it only me who sees
There’s something wrong there

Oh, I’m not a ghost
I can see you
You need to see me

It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It’s the little things that tease and betray
Has the hunter now become the prey
It’s the little things
The little things that give you away

I saw you on the stairs
You didn’t notice I was there
That’s ‘cause you were talking at me
Not to me

You were high above the storm
A hurricane being born
What was freedom
It might cost you your liberty

It’s the little things that give you away
The words you cannot say
Your big mouth in the way
It’s the little things that tease and betray
Has the hunter now become the prey
It’s the little things
The little things that give you away

Sometimes
I can’t believe my existence
See myself from a distance
I can’t get back inside
Sometimes
The air is so anxious
All my tasks are so thankless
And all of my innocence has died
Sometimes
I wake at four in the morning
Where all the darkness is swarming
And it covers me in fear
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes

Sometimes
Full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear
Sometimes
The end is not coming
It’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes
I’m full of anger and grieving
So far away from believing
That any song will reappear
Sometimes
The end isn’t coming
It’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes

Wonderful, thank you for sharing! Miss Sarajevo was especially lovely. So was Ultraviolet :up:

The lyrics for the new song are heavy and a bit sad, could be foreshadowing! But if they're playing a brand new song on this tour then I can't get too concerned just yet.

Sounds like the show was mostly as expected, but overall quite good! Some if the photos are incredible - that stage is so impressive.
 
I'm going to seriously bet the new song ends the show. no way they just stopped rehearsing it. I know the light show has continued after the band ends...
"they'll never close with a new song no one knows"

"closing with a new song would be a bad move"

"they won't close with a new song without releasing it first"

good move U2. excellent song too. I actually sort of hope they don't release it until the album comes..just let it be a treat for the diehards that follow them and those actually at the shows
 
The eenie meenie snippet on exit might be my favourite snippet ever
