13 Sep 2018

New Year's Day in Paris

 

When & Where
Final night of a great week in France, AccordHotels Arena, Paris, Wednesday, September 13th, 2018.

Set List
Before the final song of the night, Bono recited a verse from 'Streets Of Surrender', written for a friend, and dedicated to the time the band were here after The Bataclan in 2015 :

"Every man has got two cities he needs to be
The one he can touch and the one he can't see
The one where a stranger's a friend
Everyman has got one city of liberty
For me it's Paris…"

Here's the full setlist from the final night in Paris.

Elec Tricco (via Facebook)  'NYD bring me back to 1983 .... Still 15 when you see your favourite Band LIVE .... 4 Great Paris shows (thank to U2.com i'm a member since 1985 ....) Got Adam's & Bono's Autographs plus lots of Photos & videos Thank you U2 for coming...'

@AccorH_Arena 'Merci infiniment à U2 pour ces 4 superbes dates à l'AccorHotels Arena. Des artistes complets et humbles, des chansons cultes, une scénographie à couper le souffle et surtout un public fidèle!'
(translated :) Thank you very much to U2 for these 4 great dates at the AccorHotels Arena. Complete and humble artists, cult songs, a breathtaking scenography and especially a loyal audience!

What Did Bono Say?
(as Macphisto) "It's not good evening… it's goodbye. But as i leave Paris, my melancholy is tempered by the knowledge that my people are arriving all over Europe… they go by many names, my people… In Sweden they call themselves 'Democrats; Sweden Democrats.' In France, they keep changing their names. In Italy they have too many names. In Poland they have names even I can't pronounce. So many names, my little cabbages… But they all have one face. And its' mine!'


U2.com / Zootopia review 
electricco 'THANK U2 Great Show again ... we've got 40 euros tickets and we have A Great Great nice view on the E stage ... no screens tonight but its been our 4th show so no problemo Got Bono's Autograph today (me : Bonjour Mr MacPhisto ... BONO : i am not Mr MacPhisto !)'
