So much news! U2 played in Turkey for the first time ever, yesterday. It seemed to be an amazing concert in Istanbul, or should i say Constantinople...haha. U2 also played in Athens for the first time, and only the second time ever in Greece.
A very deserving audience received a very deserving setlist as well! U2 debuted 'Mothers of the Disappeared' on the 360 tour, Pride made its comeback, and Ultraviolet made its comeback as well :]
What didn't make the setlist is perhaps even more important and ground breaking. Earlier in the day, U2 sound-checked 'Mercy,' a U2 fan favorite from the How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb sessions. It was released with Itunes compilation of U2 called The Complete U2, but only download-able upon the purchase of the entire thing. Perhaps soon it will make it's debut like MOTD??? We'll wait and see I suppose.
To celebrate U2's arrival, Universal Turkey released a new 'Best of" album, but not on CD; rather on a SD card with other content preloaded. Oddly, the track listing is as follows:
1. No Line On The Horizon
2. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
3. Beautiful Day
4. City Of Blinding Lights
5. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
6. Pride
7. With Or Without You
9. Vertigo
10. New Year's Day
11. Mysterious Ways
12. Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of
13. Where The Streets Have No Name
In other news: more dates added for Australia! I'm glad I don't live down there because I would go to EVERY show since they are limited. Haha I would be broke!
I'm loving these setlist change ups! Looking forward to see what the setlist looks like for next summer :] Until then...
