U2 played the Sports Arena in LA last night; one last rehearsal before the tour kicks off in San Diego tomorrow night.
Here’s the spoilier-full setlist, which I’m sure will change several times as the tour progresses. If you want to be surprised when you go to see them, don’t highlight the text below…
City of Blinding Lights
The Electric Co.
An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart
Beautiful Day
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else
Elevation
Stuck in a Moment…
Yahweh
Bullet the Blue Sky
Running to Stand Still
(break for human rights video)
Zoo Station
The Fly
Vertigo
(break)
Pride
Where the Streets Have No Name
One
All Because of You
40
Song notes:
* Larry plays keyboards during “Yahweh”
* during “Love and Peace or Else”, Larry is at the edge of the egg when the song starts, playing drums there; during the middle of the song, he goes back to the main stage and drums from there, while Bono drums at the edge of the egg
* during “Zoo Station”, Edge is using a “Vertigo” guitar — black with the red circles on it
* “Streets” does not have a red-colored background; flags of the countries on the African continent are shown behind the band instead
* “40″ is performed as it was 20 years ago — each band member leaves the stage one-at-a-time, and Larry ends the show with a brief drum solo
Stage notes:
* very simple stage, clean - just Larry’s drums, Edge’s stuff, keyboards, and lots of room for Bono to move around
* 3-level video screen
* main stage is shaped like the “Vertigo” spirals
* the “egg” extends further out onto the floor than the Elevation “heart” did
* there’s no b-stage at the far end of the egg, but there is enough room for the band to play, just like on the Elevation Tour
