1. Last night my brother, the legendary king of Corn Pops, Hugo, had this hypnotical trance in which he could read an interview Bono will give to Rolling Stone two days before the 2nd leg of 360 tour begins. Hugo says that whole day the band will be soundchecking songs like Lady with the spinning head, Promenade, Red hill minig town and a remix euro-dance hip hop version of 4th of July. Since this seems general interest, I put down part of the future interview. Spoilers warning and all the rest of that.

    Q. Tell us about the setlist controversy in leg 1. Some fans pointed those were really repetitive.

    Bonoi Setlists, yeah... you know, this is the most conceptual tour we've done so far.

    Q. Which sense?

    Bono: A lot of people didn't get the meaning, but setlists were stablished that way in order to depict the album's concept. You know, setlist A is the sea and setlist B is the sky... No line on the horizon to tell from each other.

    Q. Uh... if you say so.

    (Bono handles one of his smart ass grins)

    Bono: But then we didn't count on people. This is rock and roll, that untaimed wild horse. The people at the audience really turned us on. With or Without you was delivered with a whole lot of unplanned passion... i felt this was the version I'd been waiting to sing for twenty years. Our best ever, real kerosene heavy metal thunder, baby!

    Q. Well man, listen... I don't wanna be so rude but...

    Bono: And the masks! Oh, my God... and the LEDS in Paris!!!! Actually I'm writing a new song named LEDS-eppelin. Edge is riffin' his best ever, real kerosene heavy metal thunder. You gotta listen.

    Q. Cut it off!!!! The masks were too sexually diverse.

    Bono: Uh?

    Q. Gay. And the LEDS were frankly Drag Queenish...

    End of the interview. Several changes are put through. So the first night the audience never gets a mask. They got eyeliner instead, to use when Bono screams "No eyeline on the horizon," just before the Macho-Macho man snippet... or so are the plans. Which will be thrown at the last moment, 'cos the band makes a hundred changes overnight to get the perfect setlist. And so, after forty hours of efforts, the perfect list goes like:

    1. Breathe
    2. No Line On The Horizon
    3. Get On Your Boots
    4. Magnificent
    5. Beautiful Day
    6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For / Movin' On Up (snippet)
    7. Angel Of Harlem / Man In The Mirror (snippet) / Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (snippet)
    8. In A Little While
    9. Unknown Caller
    10. The Unforgettable Fire
    11. City Of Blinding Lights
    12. Vertigo
    13. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
    14. Sunday Bloody Sunday
    15. Pride (In The Name Of Love)
    16. MLK
    17. Walk On / You'll Never Walk Alone (snippet)
    18. Where The Streets Have No Name
    19. One

    encore(s):
    20. Ultra Violet (Light My Way)
    21. With Or Without You
    22. Moment of Surrender

    Any doubts?
