2. Magnificent (Bono: “It’s a vaudeville theatre, not for shy people. Like myself.”)
3. Breathe (Bono:”Irish flags, flying and all.”)
4. Crazy Tonight / Come On Eileen (snippet) (Bono: “This is a bit of a popsong.”)
5. Vertigo / She Loves You (snippet)

Band arrives at the theatre:
Hi everyone-
I was one of the lucky few to actually go to the show last night. What a surreal night! First we get a police escort to the gig, then the Boston media was everywhere, then the gig itself, which I still can’t believe I was there!
Unfortunately, after the Q&A was done, there didn’t perform. They went to an after party, and then flew home to Ireland.
What a night, what a show!!

Hello everyone-
I was one of the “lucky” folks to be at the show last night. What a surreal night!!
First we got a police escort from the Museum of Science in Boston, then we get to the gig, and it was like being a rock star. TV crews from the city were interviewing everyone, including myself, and it was just unbelieveable.
The band playing was just a moment that I will never forget. The new songs are just so good live, it’s going to be great to hear them. IGCIIDGCT is such a brilliant song live, I can’t even begin to describe what it’s like live.
Unfortunately, after the Q&A piece of the night, they went to an after party, and then flew home to Ireland so no additional songs were played, but I who was complaining.
