It's just Bono being Bono. It amused him to count the song down using numbers out of sequence.

U2's Revolutionary Show at Hampden
Article by Harry Young
U2 will play a spectacular, revolutionary concert at Hampden Stadium on Tuesday 18 August. The Irish super-rockers return after 4 years to the first country outside of Ireland to embrace them and promise a first-of-its-kind show that will stun audiences worldwide. U2 will bring old classics back to Scots fans as well as showcasing new songs from their hit album No Line On The Horizon, already proven to work well live.
No Line On The Horizon
Sonically, U2's new album has all the classic and staple U2 sounds: Edge's hypnotic arpeggio rhythms and soaring solos, Bono's passionate voice complemented by anthemic backing vocals, and a tight, heavy rhythm section. There are no weak links. Every element of the album has contributed to its success: classic songwriting, expert musicianship, and one of the best production teams in the world in Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.
U2's 12th studio album, No Line On The Horizon, received a mixed reception by fans and critics. In spite of this, it went to number 1 in 30 countries and has achieved platinum status in many of them. This is not to say that it is a poor album; it just didn't live up to the record industry's expectations. There are many theories as to why it hasn't sold as many copies (although it has still sold millions) as its predecessor All That You Can't Leave Behind or Viva La Vida by their "world's biggest band" rivals Coldplay.
The Australian arm of Universal Music accidentally leaked the album which impacted sales, and the online music site Spotify were given permission by the band to stream No Line On The Horizon at no charge to listeners. Entertainment Weekly blame it on the album having no immediate radio hit single, although this may be due to stations and DJs deciding not to play it.However, it was the number one album in 11 counties on iTunes and is on course to become one of the best-selling music downloads ever.
There's no doubting that No Line On The Horizon is a huge album and, in spite of a relatively huge response, one of U2's many strengths is their ability to sell albums well over long as well as short periods of time, and No Line On The Horizon is sure to stick to this trend, especially on the back of it being performed live over the next 18 months.
The 360 Tour
The 360 tour live shows promise to be the biggest in the history of live music. The big talking point about the latest tour revolves around the stage design, which the band describes as "revolutionary". The all new, innovative stage was designed by the same creative team that were behind the ZooTV, Popmart, Elevation and Vertigo stage shows.
It features an "in-the-round" style stage, nicknamed "The Claw", giving every member of the audience an unobstructed view and will enable the band and fans to get closer to each other. Only football stadiums are suitable to house the massive spaceship-like structure (which, at 164 feet tall, is twice as high as the former largest stadium stage set, built for the Rolling Stones' A Bigger Bang tour), and because of its innovative design, venue capacities will be increased by 15-20%. Surrounding the higher part of The Claw is a cylindrical video screen, which will show seamless 360 degree real time video footage of the band onstage.
In response to rising concert ticket prices and the tightening of purse strings everywhere, the band made a concerted effort to keep prices low, to ensure that everyone who wanted a ticket could afford one.
Although U2 plan to return to play a second European leg in 2010, it's not certain whether they will return to the UK.
What Can Fans Expect?
U2 fans already know the new material works well live following their energetic and vertigo-inducing 20 minute mini-set on the rooftop of the BBC's Broadcasting House in London back in February, and can expect more of the same on the 360 Tour. With killer new and classic songs, their awesome new stage design and the Hampden crowd in full voice, there is no doubt that U2's August gig will be the biggest and best of the summer.
