Remarks:
The second of 4 concerts in Paris featured another similar setlist except for the rotating of the 4th song ("All Because of You" was performed instead of "Red Flag Day"). "Mother" by John Lennon, was sung by Bono after "I Will Follow". Bono's alter ego MacPhisto also went on another rant following his snippet of Kraftwerk's "Hall of Mirrors": "I didn't know how much I liked the Swedish. Tall. Blonde. Blue-eyed. Boring. But now, it appears the Swedes are beginning to discover their Aryan potential. Oh yes. Ak-ak-Ã…kesson. Jimmie Ã…kesson! I like him. He's done so well in the election today. I love elections. I love balloons. I love parties that get out of hand. France, you disappointed my favorite little Marie LePen. I'm like the father she never had. And now she's had to change the name of her party. Some people don't know that they don't like Jews or Blacks. I told them you can hide in plain sight. Because it's when you don't believe that I exist, that's when I do my best work."
