2010-08-06 - Turin, Italy - Stadio Olimpico


setlist

Performance notes: This concert features the debuts of three unreleased pieces of music: a new live intro called Return Of The Stingray Guitar and two complete new songs, North Star and Glastonbury. U2 had not played unreleased material live since 6 August 2001. Two more songs make their tour debuts at this gig: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is performed for the first time since 21 March 1998; Miss Sarajevo is performed for the first time since 9 December 2006. Happy Birthday was sung before I Still Haven't Found in honour of The Edge, whose 49th birthday is on 8 August 2010.

When U2's 2010 European tour dates were announced on 24 September 2009, the Frankfurt concert on 10 August 2010 was given as the opening night of the leg. This concert was not confirmed until 30 November 2009, displacing Frankfurt's status. In the wake of the postponement of U2's 2010 North American dates, this became the band's first concert of 2010 and they rehearsed at length at the venue. A reference to our articles on what transpired at rehearsals can be found here.

Performance

Considering the band havent played live in 10 months,and Bono had his back issue,the band sound very very good.The emotion is there,I loved seein Larry stand up after the Stingray Intro and clap for Bono.The band seem happy to be onstage.The band actually play 3 new songs,and I really like them.IMO,they are much better than Get On Yours Boots.Glastonbury is very good rockin tune.North Star is very good as well.Stingray Intro is a good,hard rockin tune,I wish it was longer.Miss Sarajevo is fantastic,and is a standout moment of this gig.Hold Me is classic.The start, Why So Serious !!..Classic.This hasnt been played in 12 yrs.Nice move guys.Love it. The setlist.Ok,we have 3 new tunes thank God.We have pretty much the same set as last year.Once we get to Unforgettable Fire,its the same as last year.Thats a bit,dissapointing.Ultra Violet,one of my fav U2 songs, is dropped, for Hold Me.I dont have a prob with them playing the Batman song at all,but they should have kept UV in.UTEOTW is played out,enough of it.Crazy Tonight remix is BRUTAL.Why not play the studio version,as they did in Barcelona 07.02.09 ?How about adding Hands That Built America,All I want Is You,Bad,ASOH,EBTTRT,THE FLY,BTBS.I think the PoP tunes would go well with the spaceship theme,Last Night On Earth maybe???How about an acoustic version of Love Is Blindness ?They really need to mix things up.How about an encore of,Bullet The Blue Sky,Bad,Ultra Violet,One and then ending with All I Want Is You..KEEP US GUESSING,NOT KNOWING WHAT SONG IS NEXT .Even Pride, once in a while, as an encore, is fine. Just not every single night.

Sound

Its better than I would have thought less than 24 hours after the show.Its a very solid 4,really like a 4.25 IMO.Bonos voice is very clear,speeches etc.The bands intruments sound good,Larrys drums are muffled, but,hey its an audience recording.Very good,get it.

Edit : listening to Bedoc's IEM . 10 years to the day . Great show . Bono's voice is crystal clear , rest of the band sound is solid considering its a Bono IEM only . Larry is a bit muffled , but this is a great listen.
Recording: "Bono IEM" - 4.5 stars

Audience

I can hear them ,but the bootleg does not do them justice..I have watched this show on youtube,and the Italian fans are goin wild as usual.They are great fans,hands down maybe the best in the world.I have a show of PJ,Milan 06.22.00. The fans are so loud,singing word for word. I cant believe the passion.Great fans.

Overall

This is a good start to the European tour.No question a very very solid show.The 3 new songs are an added pleasure.I think the band,IMO,need to add some No Line songs,Stand Up,Cedars,Fez that HAVENT BEEN PLAYED.Get On Your Boots,drop it,move on.There are much better tunes on NLOTH (Unknown Caller,TITLE TRACK).I would have given this a 4,but the 3 new tunes give it a solid 4.5. A must download. Peace.
