Just setting up a thread where people can post thiungs relating to this as it seems a few are going (me included).
So, to start things off
[hide=SPOILER: Brisbane Rehearsals]
November 05, 2006
U2 has begun rehearsing in earnest for Tuesday night's relaunch of the Vertigo Tour. If you want to be surprised by what they're playing, stop reading here.
The following is what's been reported by fans who heard Sunday's rehearsal.
City of Blinding Lights Vertigo Elevation - Locomotion (Kylie Minogue snippet) Until the End of the World New Year's Day Kite (new version with Bono singing alone at start, then Adam joins in, then full band comes in later) Walk On (full band) Beautiful Day Stuck in a Moment Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own Love and Peace or Else Sunday Bloody Sunday Bullet the Blue Sky Miss Sarajevo
(end/no encores rehearsed)
Note: We've seen one report that did not include New Year's Day. [/hide]
Woot! this is me tomorrow night, I'm already excited :D All i need to do now is win money on the Melbourne Cup and tomorrow will be well worth remembering!
Alrighty, just wanted to say last nights opening concert was AWESOME!!! :D 6 full stadium rounds of the Mexican Wave prior to U2 taking the stage and then mayhem when they did. Great range of songs and showmanship by the band. They were on-stage for a little over 2 hours.
Don't be fooled into leaving early, they played 2 encores in Brisbane ;) would hate to be the fools that left after the close of the first set!
Only 1 song that i really wanted to hear that they didn't play, so i guess i can't complain.
Have a fantastic time you guys who are doing the next shows, wish I'd bought more tickets :)
lads, when are you guys planning drinks in canberra?
i'm doing the 1500-2300 shift both tomorrow and monday night. minorci just flew down, so depending whenever you guys are free back in canberra/at dan's, arvo brewskies sounds like a plan
'Melbourne belongs to me...' 'Tonight it's Melbourne that belongs to me,' sang Bono at the first of two shows here. Check out the set list.
City of Blinding Lights Vertigo Elevation I Will Follow New Years Day Beautiful Day Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out of Angel of Harlem Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own Love and Peace Sunday Bloody Sunday Bullet The Blue Sky Miss Sarajevo Pride in the Name of Love Where the Streets have no Name One
Encore 1: The Fly Mysterious Ways With or Without You
"I still haven't found what I'm looking for" ??? seems to be exclusive to Sydney? :p
Watch out for exclusive songs not in the list... I was hoping they'd sing "All I want is you" to ease down Telstra Stadium cause it was rocking so hard, anymore, it'll come down on all of us.
Does anyone have anything on their radar for a DVD of the Australian Vertigo tour? I know it's not yet over but hey, if there's a DVD of the Chicago one, There's got to be an Australian DVD somewhere...
second melbourne show had signs up warning that the show was being recorded, so here's hoping for a dvd from it.
i rate them melbourne #2 > melbourne #1 > adelaide, but it's a tight call because they were all brilliant.
the final show at melbourne was extra special, the final encore was four songs instead of three, and a couple of not before played tracks were thrown in, all in all, worth every cent.
