the Dalaverse

So I have a million and a half things to catch up on, but I just got back from seeing U2 and I have to go WOOOOOOOOOO!!!! They are the best band in the world and put on the most fantastic concert and I love them so very very much. Florence + the Machine was the opening act and that also made me very happy - her voice is amazing live. Also I want to try to reconstruct the setlist before I forget it in my sleep. Under the cut in case anybody is seeing them on this tour and doesn't want to be song-spoiled:



Even Better than the Real Thing
Until the End of the World
Get On Your Boots
I Will Follow (I'm pretty sure that was the order of the first set, which was this enormous blistering wall of sound)

Stay (Faraway, So Close) (I know! Bono can't really hit the high notes in this anymore, sadly, but I still love it)
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Beautiful Day
Elevation
Miss Sarajevo
Zooropa of all damn things
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (with I think a tiny bit of Numb in the middle. I much prefer the studio version over the concert remix)
City of Blinding Lights
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Walk On
Vertigo
(I know they played all of these in roughly this placement, though I might've misordered a couple)

The encores:
Where the Streets Have No Name
With or Without You
Ultraviolet (so Bono can play with his light-up mike and jacket because he's too old to climb the scaffolding anymore)
One
Moment of Surrender (for Clarence Clemmons)


Oh and Florence was:

My Boy Builds Coffins
Drumming Song (SO AWESOME LIVE OMG)
a song that wasn't on Lungs so I didn't know it
Howl
Cosmic Love
You've Got the Love
Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)
Dog Days Are Over (of course)

ETA: This is the setlist from The Baltimore Sun. I got some of it spectactularly wrong, heh.

Even Better Than The Real Thing
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Until The End Of The World
I Will Follow
Get On Your Boots
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Stay
Beautiful Day
Elevation
Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Miss Sarajevo
Zooropa
City Of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Scarlet,
Walk On

Encore:
One
Where The Streets Have No Name
Ultraviolet
With Or Without You
Moment of Surrender



Annnnd now I have to go to bed.

I don't have a U2 icon. Something is wrong with me.
