O Canada

Toronto Canada was greeting to a celebration with U2's 22 songs set list that included tributes to Leonard Cohen, 150th anniversary of Canada and Pride Toronto weekend. A change in lyrics with“Bullet The Blue Sky” ended with “They run into the arms of North America.” Instead, Bono celebrated Canada’s openness: “Oh Canada, when others build walls, you open doors! When others divide into tribes, you make a beautiful mosaic.”

Bono dedicated “One Tree Hill” to Leonard Cohen. Bono recollected being at Cohen’s 79th birthday party. He asked Cohen how he’d celebrate his 80th, and Cohen told Bono he’d like to have one cigarette. Earlier in the set, Bono sang Cohen’s “Suzanne” during “Bad,” ending with a flurry of “Hallelujah’s.”
