U2360° TOUR Leg 2: 2010

Show Report

A world in white created by the Finnish audience tonight and a thumbs up from Bono 'for the people with the white' at the beginning of New Year's Day.

From the intro music of Space Oddity to the closing bars of Rocket Man, once the band had left the stage, the audience in Helsinki created an almighty crescendo tonight.

Great to see North Star back in the set list for the first time since the opening night, the perfect moment to catch breath between 'Still Haven't Found' and 'Glastonbury'.

Some technical hitches with the super-screen at the Olympic Stadium delayed the band's arrival onstage and affected the visuals for some of the songs but nothing could douse the passion of another full house.

'There's so much for the world to learn from you, the way you treat yourselves and the way you treat others in far away places,' Bono reflected. 'You are amongst the most generous people in the world and it's when times are tough you really find out who you are... so allow us to kiss your arse.'

Awesome!
Thanks a lot for the band! I have been a big fan for 20 years now, but this was the first U2 live show I have ever seen. And was it any good? No. It was supergreat!!! Naturally there were some of my favourite songs missing, but you cant have it all! Anyway, now I have seen and heard Edge playing The Streets live and Bono still singing and rocking quite nicely. That I have been waiting for a very long time. Hopefully I get a chance to see them again some Beautiful Day in some City Of Blinding Lights!!!

Magnificent!
Thank you so much, it was the perfect night in Helsinki yesterday. To my own surprise I liked the new songs even more than old classics. The milkyway was beautiful and the atmosphere great. Hope to see you again, soon!

Unforgetable fire..?
Some problem with videoscreen, maybe thats why unforgetable was dropped? Not so great setlist than last summer tour! No no no line, no unknow... no unforgetable, no bad... DAMN!

North Star is Back !
in Helsinki the North Star is Back! No Unknown Caller or No Line on the Horizon ;( But in Helsinki II ?

Something New? Great Setlist, but could
This setlist is awsome, but I think that when I say it's gotten a little old there are people who would agree with me. You could drop songs like One, In A Little While, or even With Or Without You and add brand new songs to the setlist like Mofo, Zooropa, Discotheque . . . . basically some songs off of the 90's albums. Also, Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me is a great song! Don't replace it with Ultra Violet! Instead keep both songs and take out a song like One or With Or Without You. Just please really reshuffle the setlist for the 2011 tour! God bless the band and the tour. (Loved hearing Bad in Chicago 1.)

unknown caller
I wasn't at the show and I wish I was. However, standouts for me from Chicago 1 included unforgettable fire and unknown caller; both which weren't played tonight. I don't think unknown caller has been played on the European Leg. Please u2, add unknown caller and drop a greatest hit.
