U2 360 Tour East Rutherford

Thirty years ago they were playing the Fast Lane, Asbury Park – before many of the 90,000 people here were even a twinkle in the eye of their parents.

‘New Jersey, hot summer night, where you gonna take us?’ asked Bono. Jumping aboard the U2360 spaceship, you never know where you might be taken but you’ll never come back the same.

The band have had some unforgettable nights in New Jersey over the years, twenty four shows in East Rutherford alone and Bono just happened to have the original set list from that Asbury Park show back in another century.

‘The Ocean, 11 O’Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, An Cat Dubh, Into the Heart, Another Time, Another Place, The Cry, The Electric Co., Things to Make and Do, Stories for Boys, Boy-Girl, Out of Control, and the encore was… A Day Without Me, 11 O’Clock Tick Tock, The Ocean  and I Will Follow.’

Bruce Springsteen was here tonight, when the band paid tribute again to the late, great Clarence Clemons.
‘We’re going to say one last goodbye in the company of some of his people, this is for the E Street Band and Bruce of course…’

It was one of the longest sets of the tour tonight, 26 songs, but ‘nothing much has changed’ as Bono put it before the surprise closing number. ‘Four Irish boys, out of control…’

Minneapolis is getting ready for U2, but before that the boys will take the stage at the New Meadowlands Stadium. Interpol will be the opening act once again.

As a reminder: New Jersey is the Bon Jovi’s hometown. Last month, the band played Vertigo in Dublin, since it is U2′s hometown. The question now is: will we see U2 play Livin’ On A Prayer, tonight?
