360° Tour - Brussels, Belgium

Location: King Baudouin Stadium, Avenue de Marathon 135, 1020 City of Brussels, Belgium
Venue: Roi Baudouin Stadium

Setlist: Return of the Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day, New Year's Day, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Mysterious Ways - Private Dancer, Elevation, Until the End of the World - Singin' In The Rain, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Angel of Harlem, Bad - Singin' In The Rain, In a Little While, Miss Sarajevo, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo - It's Only Rock and Roll, I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (remix) - Relax - Life During Wartime, Pride, MLK, Walk On - You'll Never Walk Alone, One - Rain, Where the Streets Have No Name, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me, With or Without You, Moment of Surrender - Singin' In The Rain

Comments: The video screen requires some minor repair right before the show begins, but that doesn't slow down another terrific show. Nor does more rain, which leads to several weather-related snippets. Angel of Harlem is played for the first time since July 25, 2009. And Bad reappears for the first time since Sept. 12, 2009. Bono praises Joe O'Herlihy -- today is the 32-year anniversary of his first concert as U2's sound man. With or Without You includes a bit of the rare 'Shine like stars' coda.

360° Tour - Brussels, Belgium

Location: King Baudouin Stadium, Avenue de Marathon 135, 1020 City of Brussels, Belgium

Venue: Roi Baudouin Stadium

Setlist: Return of the Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day, I Will Follow, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Black is Black - Mysterious Ways, Elevation, Until the End of the World, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, North Star, Mercy, In A Little While, Miss Sarajevo, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo - Ca Plane Pour Moi, I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (remix) - Two Tribes, Sunday Bloody Sunday, MLK, Walk On - You'll Never Walk Alone, One, Amazing Grace - Where the Streets Have No Name, Ultraviolet, With or Without You, Moment of Surrender

Comments: Bono calls the show a 'homecoming' for U2, what with several crew members hailing from Belgium, not to mention this being where The Claw was first built in the spring of 2009. The audience is loud throughout the show, and they continue singing With or Without You so long that Bono can't begin Moment of Surrender.

Heading to Australia!



Compared to 2009, 2010 has been a quiet U2 tour for me. After the postponement of the North American tour, and a busy summer schedule, I feel like I'm missing a family reunion as my friends and my favourite band are touring Europe. Now that it's the latter half of 2010, there is no way I will go without seeing U2 live this year! So I just bought my GA tickets for the Sydney and Perth shows, and will be heading down under in December! I hope to see some of you in the queue :)

Setlist: Return of the Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day, I Wil Follow, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Mysterious Ways - My Sweet Lord, Elevation, Until the End of the World - Anthem, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, North Star, Mercy, In A Little While, Miss Sarajevo, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Funky Town - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (remix) - Two Tribes - Relax, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Mothers of the Disappeared, Walk On - You'll Never Walk Alone, One, Amazing Grace - Where the Streets Have No Name - Purple Rain, Ultraviolet, With or Without You, Moment of Surrender, Singin' in the Rain
Comments: A couple times during the show, Bono praises the doctors and nurses that performed back surgery on him in Munich earlier in the year. 'One' includes the 'Hear us coming' coda. It begins to rain during the encore, prompting Bono to sing about the weather. After 'Moment of Surrender' ends, he leads the crowd in a short rendition of 'Singin' in the Rain.'

360° Tour - Zurich, Switzerland

Location: Letzigrund, Badenerstrasse 500, 8048 Zurich, Switzerland
Venue: Letzigrund Stadium 

Setlist: Return of the Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day - Rain, I Will Follow, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Mysterious Ways, Elevation - Singin In the Rain, Until the End of the World, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - Singin In the Rain, North Star, Mercy, In A Little While, Miss Sarajevo, City Of Blinding Lights - Singin In the Rain, Vertigo, I'll Go Crazy... (remix) - Two Tribes - Relax, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Mothers Of The Disappeared, Walk On - You'll Never Walk Alone, Like a Hurricane - One, Rain - Where The Streets Have No Name, Moment Of Surrender 

Comments: Rain begins shortly before U2 goes on, and the show is delayed while crew cover the stage and equipment. The late start and local curfew and/or the heavy rain forces U2 to cut the encore short by a couple songs. By all accounts, the crowd is one of the most enthusiastic of the tour and they get treated to the first live performance of Mercy, a much-loved, unreleased track from the 'Atomic Bomb' sessions. Mothers of the Disappeared makes another rare appearance, as does the new track North Star.

360° Tour - Istanbul, Turkey

Location: Eskişehir Atatürk Stadium, İstiklal Mh., 26010 Eskisehir/Eskişehir Province, Turkey
Venue: Ataturk Stadium

Setlist: Return of the Stingray Guitar, Beautiful Day - Always Forever Now, New Year's Day, Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Mysterious Ways - My Sweet Lord, Elevation, Until The End Of The World, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Pride, In A Little While, Miss Sarajevo, City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, I'll Go Crazy...

Comments: U2 soundchecks Mercy and Mothers Of The Disappeared in the afternoon, but only one makes an appearance during the show. Mothers is dedicated to Fehmi Tosun, who disappeared in Turkey in 1995 and is mentioned on the Pop album notes. Turkish folk singer Zulfu Livaneli comes on stage to sing it with Bono, then sings one of his own songs, Yigidim Aslanim, with Bono. (A fan also sang his own song at a U2 show on Oct. 10, 1992.) Earlier, U2's crew joined Snow Patrol on stage for 'Chasing Cars' - it's the last time Snow Patrol opens for U2 this year. U2's first show in Turkey attracts about 50,000 fans, making it the biggest rock concert in the country's history.
