Multiple cameras have been set up in the arena, including two that cross the front of the stage on tracks between the audience and the stage. Cameramen walk on and off-stage to capture the concert from as many angles as possible. On the first night, U2 acknowledge their performance at Red Rocks on June 5, 1983. During "New Year's Day", Bono sings, "You were there when the rain was coming down?....Icy fingers, warm hearts...warm hearts..." The film crew capture the show as well as possible, but in many cases block the audiences view, and suffer from camera breakdowns.

Oh, it's a spotlight.' Queensland Sports & Athletics Centre - Kanye West: Wake Up- Arcade Fire / City of Blinding Lights / Vertigo / Elevation / Until The End Of The World / New Year's Day / Beautiful Day / Yahweh / Walk On / Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own / Love And Peace Or Else / Sunday Bloody Sunday / Bullet The Blue Sky / Miss Sarajevo / Pride / Where The Streets Have No Name / One - Encore: Zoostation / The Fly / With Or Without You / The Saints Are Coming / Angel Of Harlem / Kite. Snippets: Elevation / Streets Of Your Town - Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own / The Black Hills Of Dakota - Bullet The Bullet Sky / When Johnny Comes Marching Home / The Hands That Build America - With Or Without You / Streets Of Your Town. It is reported that Bono paid tribute to the Go Betweens frontman, Grant McLennan, by singing a snippet of “Streets of Your Town”. Before Yahweh, Bono said all families members are again healthy and he is thankful for the patience of the Australians fans. As rehearsals indicated the band have included a few extra songs from All That You Can’t Leave Behind (Walk On and Kite) at the expense of a couple of songs from How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. Also, the concert marks the first time the band have performed the Saints Are Coming without Greenday. Angel of Harlem is also a song that was not widely played in 2005 and early 2006. Kite has closed a show, it featured a didgeridoo, and during the song, Bono flew and released a kite. During Angel Of Harlem, Bono sung "Young Australians" to the tune of Young Americans. Famous Vertigo Tour elements remain, such as the "coexist" segment in Sunday Bloody Sunday, the blindfold routine in Bullet The Blue Sky, the Human Rights Declaration segment before Pride, the Africa intro to Where The Streets Have No Name, and a speech relating to mobile phones before One. Sunday Bloody Sunday's speech segment began with Bono calling for David Hicks, an Australian held by the US in Guantanamo on suspicion of being a terrorist, to be returned to Australia in order to receive "a fair trial". On a lighter note, Bono made a funny comment at the start of his One speech: "look at that beautiful moon! Oh, it's a spotlight." Some great photos: U2gigs. *** Edge throwing some classic rock'n'roll shapes. Edge made funny noises on his guitar while chirping like a cricket into Bono's microphone. Kite: Edge used one of his Gibson 70's Les Paul customs in cream colour and Bono used what looked like a black Gibson Hummingbird acoustic. Walk On: Bono used his Gretsch Irish Falcon, Edge used one of the Music Rising guitars, the black one with the Music Rising logo on it.
