@markpeterboro Just spotted a typo in the spreadsheet - it says “Santa Carla”, not Santa Clara.

ASOH was done 17x on JT Tour 1987 and 2x on Elevation Tour 2001. It’ll beat those 19 plays just by being done each night of the current leg.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

If U2 play A Sort of Homecoming at all 33 gig of #U2TheJoshuaTree2017, that’ll be almost double how many times it’s been played post-1985.

If U2 want to throw a curveball when I’m at night 2 in London and say “hey here’s an earlier JT track listing w/ all the b-sides”, I’m keen.

Bad has not been played at consecutive shows much this decade - though it was done at all 5 of the last IE Tour shows. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

@Doming0 Really? It’s a slight intro piece. I’d rather a full-length song, especially one as great as Bad.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Doming0

Yes, we know our database at the moment conflates Simon & Garfunkel’s America w/ West Side Story’s America. Working to separate them.
