I just got back from the first of two Outdoor Broadcasts in DC.  There were
some _definite_ surprises to this set list, all pleasant.  If you want to
be surprised at the show, hit 'n' now.  



Here's the bulk of the set list.  As usual, I didn't think of a pen and 
paper until just before the concert started, so the set list is derived
from my memory and that of the friends I went with.  The beginning and
ending orders are correct; I'm sure the middle got garbled.

Opened with:

Zoo Station
The Fly
Even Better Than the Real thing
Mysterious Ways
One
Until the End of the World

surprise 1:  a bit of "Mystery Girl", the song Bono and Edge wrote and "gave"
to Roy Orbison for his final album.

surprise 2:  New Year's Day.  I'd heard that they might bring some of the older
material in that they skipped on the first leg of Zoo TV, and then I heard
some stuff on MTV from folks who saw the first show or two from this leg and
were disappointed not to hear the older songs.  A wonderful rendition!

Tryin to Throw Your Arms Around the World (with a bit of what I think was
"Woman Tonight" at the very end)

Angel of Harlem, segued into Abba's "Dancing Queen"
When Love Came to Town
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, segued into a verse of Ben E. King's
"Stand By Me"

surprise 3:  after hearing New Year's Day, it wasn't _too_ surprising to
hear Sunday Bloody Sunday, but it was still very exciting.  One of the
most climatic moments of the show, I kind of wish they'd saved it 'til a bit
later

Bullet the Blue Sky
Running to Stand Still
All I Want is You
Pride (last song before encores)

Encores:

Desire
Where the Streets Have No Name
Love Is Blindness

and closing with a bit of the old everyone-sang-this "I Can't Help Falling
In Love" (or whatever it's called.  You know, "Wise men say / only fools
rush in / but I can't help / falling in love with you".)  After the band
left the stage, they played the Elvis version of the tune.

All in all, the show was surperb.  130 minutes, with no intermission.  
It rained during the show, and the band spent most of the time that it
rained sitting out in the midst of the audience on a mini-stage, getting
rained on with the rest of us.  

Opening bands were the Disposable Heroes of the Hiphoprisy, who were pretty
good, and Primus who were also pretty good.  The concert began at 7:00; U2
actually took the stage at 9:00.
