PHOTOS: U2 arrives in Winnipeg

@U2, May 27, 2011
By: Matt McGee / @mattmcgee

 

As rumored, U2 arrived in Winnipeg Friday and immediately beat a path to the Burton Cummings Theatre. That's where the band's gear had arrived on Thursday for what's expected to be some kind of documentary/video shoot with director Davis Guggenheim.

Several @U2 readers were at the airport and theatre to welcome the band to Winnipeg. U2 landed at the airport at about 5:30 pm and visited briefly with fans there. Then at the theatre, it was Bono and Adam who spent the most time greeting and signing autographs for the dozens of fans who'd been waiting all day. Heather A. tells us that fans outside could hear the band playing the following songs inside:

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
Love Is Blindness
The Fly (for the 5th time)
Even Better Than The Real Thing
The Fly
One
Blowin' In The Wind - Where The Streets Have No Name
Even Better Than The Real Thing
The Fly
Magnificent
Mysterious Ways
Until The End Of The World
Elevation

Commentary: That looks like it could be a cross between a Glastonbury rehearsal (remember Adam hinted that they'll be heavy on 1990s songs there) and a documentary/video shoot for the expected Achtung Baby remaster later this year. Heather tells us that Bono confirmed to local news outlets that the band is shooting a documentary.

Huge thanks to Heather A., Rick S., Greg M. and Mark N. for sending us a couple dozen photos from today's activity. We've added their photos today to the same slideshow that we posted yesterday. That's now grown from eight to 31 35 pictures. Enjoy!
