@tarjnye78 @judapu65 Miami was definitely much improved live. Gone, LNOE, Mofo, and Please are my big four from Pop.
@tarjnye78 @judapu65 I love Pop, but I find it frustratingly patchy. IGWSHA and Miami in particular don’t appeal to me.
@RBPrdy Stand Up Comedy is definitely a candidate for worst U2 song ever.
hjwoj @Hoosier2012 @U2start @u2gigs @atu2 @U2 Looks it from here: instagram.com/p/BVmCk2NlBa_/ what a sight.
@bejwebby @sb_wreeldeal LOVE that song. It’s on the Aussie edition of ATYCLB and has always been my favourite from that disc.

@sb_wreeldeal I was pleased to get it once just to tick it off, but… blech. “Crying, smiling, celebrity”, oh Bono.
@SephLiam Loosely. 1-6 is a solid ranking, the rest a bit hazier.
@TheWizardTower UF as in Unforgettable Fire. Haven’t you seen me bagging UV all day, to Matkin’s disgust!
@sb_wreeldeal I get that it’s pretty meaningful, but I find it slow, plodding adult contemporary bollocks in execution.
@GnoccoFritto Yep, apart from UV I love all of those. I keep thinking I’m over OOC then I play it and it gets me going like it’s brand new.
@sb_wreeldeal I’d say Boy is pretty damn earnest and I’m starting to realise it’s my favourite album ahead of UF.

@sb_wreeldeal Let’s focus on the little bit you don’t agree with then, to preserve our sanity.
@sb_wreeldeal Actually I also enjoy Crumbs and One Step Closer, but they have their shortcomings.
@sb_wreeldeal Are you for real. COBL, Mercy, Native Son, Smile, AMAAW the only good things from then, and over half didn’t make album!

ASOH, One Tree Hill, Heartland, 11OTT, Bad, NYD, UF, Gone, Gloria, The Fly, Wild Irish Rose, Zooropa, Spanish Eyes, Acrobat, Treasure.

@sb_wreeldeal No, that’s the only song worth remembering on ATYCLB.
@sb_wreeldeal God Part 2?! I thought I liked you. But Stuck YES X1000 my god what a shit song.
@ekstewie Plus we’ve never shied away from expressing our own opinions on this account. Other fansites may not, but it’s our style.
“I quite like it like this, let’s try it” says Bono. I agree! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Ya listenin’ to that, Teddy Boy? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
… and they’ve totally messed it up! “Terryworld has broken down” says Bono. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@ekstewie We do: see our argument over Ultraviolet.
One has finally started. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Ax, the biggest controversy about your 10 least-liked U2 songs is that it is more than 10 songs long. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Hah, Ax and I both added the Prince song to the database at the same time. I beat him to it but he had the better disambiguation. Score: 1-1
Seems like it’s time for the speech that will have One appended to the end. You’ve got time to go do your shopping. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I wonder how much controversy I (Ax) would stir up if I listed my ten least favourite U2 songs…

@sb_wreeldeal I (Ax) have 11 MW (5 w/o slide solo) and 8 too many UV. 0 Please :(
“Ax is in the MW corner, Matkin is in the UV corner.”
Matkin wins round 1.
Ultraviolet! YAYYYYYY!!!!!!! Stay in the set Friday too, ‘kay? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
No segue into Vertigo tonight. What will be next? I’m actually excited. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@MarkCDarwin Not comparing the two songs, just the nicknames some fans use. But yes I (Ax) fucking adore HMTMKMKM live.

#FedExField
#JoshuaTreeTour2017
@sb_wreeldeal @juanj79 I (Ax) rate it as one of the weaker tracks from Passengers but I was so excited to get it in 2006. Not so much now.
It doesn’t work, like UV doesn’t work live (or studio, or anywhere). That’s the joke.
…OK, I’m covering my arse here.
Lengthy video intro in Beautiful Day is for World Refugee Day. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Ax, that doesn’t even work. Mundane replaces Mysterious. You have to replace Ultra with a U word, like “Ugh Violet”
Oh here’s Beautiful Day with a new intro! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
It is… Neither! Beautiful Day is next! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Ax’s version: does Mysterious Ways stick around, or does Mundane Violet make a dull return? ;) twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
Miss Sarajevo has usual snippet of The New Colossus, which likely won’t be done in Toronto (wasn’t in Vancouver) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Big question is what comes next: does Ultraviolet make a wonderful return? Or it Mundane Ways again? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@juanj79 Popular enough to be a top ten single and make a Best Of… (I, Ax, think it had quite long enough a run on Vertigo & 360 though.)

Bono: “Thanks for giving the Irish sanctuary all those years ago. It is indeed World Refugee Day.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@GnoccoFritto Yeah I can’t say I’m sad neither of them are in the set, bit overplayed, though that Desire in 2016 would’ve definitely fit.
I was looking forward to something tonight though! I used ochre in Philly, was that a new one or had you done it already?

@GnoccoFritto When it was fading out of the set in 1987 the band still dragged it back for Croke night 1 (its last… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@GnoccoFritto Gotcha. But I don’t think it will be a surprise this tour - already in set makes it more likely than not.
Bullet has the tiny Black Dog snippet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Black Dog snippet in Bullet #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Maybe next time… meanwhile, Bullet arrives. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@GnoccoFritto I mean, sure, people on every tour hope ASOH will show up then, but same goes for a whole bunch of ot… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@GnoccoFritto How was it a lock on IE when it hadn’t been in the set for 14 years at that time?
RaulCamarena @u2gigs I keep high hopes for Mexico2, they’ll be like home down here. #BringBackASOH
With or Without You. Let’s get a Shine Like Stars tonight, okay Bono? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Here’s our mainpage article with today’s #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 set in progress: u2gigs.com/article1184.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
atu2 No California snippet in Streets (if you’re keeping track) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Two Mixlrs live right now: @U2UVBR at mixlr.com/ultraviolet-u2… and @jamesamurray at mixlr.com/jim-murray/ #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
ISHF is sixth #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Streets sprouts #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
See, I’m making blunders too! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@fnap2010 No. Largely intact, but bound to be some changes in Europe.
Once more? Looks like Matkin has forgotten there’s a Euro leg w/ plenty of 2nd nights, plus Dublin where ASOH has g… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@postrin Calling out Ax on a blunder is how I got this job! Matkin.
Though if they feel they need to, they could just close the Rogers Centre dome to get artificial darkness in Toronto #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@postrin Oh there have been more than enough embarrassing occasions where I (Ax) have posted some blunder…
Tonight is the longest of the year (for U2 concerts). It should get progressively darker for Streets from Toronto on #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Speak of the devil, it is Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
It honestly irks me whenever Pride noses ahead of IWF in play count because it gives a false impression. Speaking of Pride, here it is!
To be more precise, I am 99% certain that 130 currently unknown sets had I Will Follow. Repeat performances mean to… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Bad has the usual snippet of Simon & Garfunkel’s America. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
By the way, at last concert Pride overtook IWF for most times played in our database. As Ax will tell you though, IWF likely 150 ahead still
I (Ax) will never tire of hearing Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@postrin No they didn’t, they did MLK. Bad’s tour debut was Seattle.
packetsherpa Pardon me, I am about to have a spiritual experience.

Week 3 of 4, Jingle Balls continues in McGonagles https://t.co/M5JoPX3uPa
Bono mentions the recent shooting in Alexandria, VA and expresses gratitude that Steve Scalise survived. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
If U2 keep Bad for Toronto (I hope for ASOH) I wonder if they’ll keep America snippet or switch to something more CDN #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
“Our prayer is that tonight will be one of those epic nights that you and us won’t forget.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I’m not sure they’d keep it in reserve for the second shows in South America. Would be over a leg without it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono at start of Bad thanks the audience for coming to see them play, braving the traffic.#U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Third of the night? Bad. ASOH remains on the sidelines. If it is reserved for night 2 now, likely to show up once more #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@eddiequinones86 I call it that because this lower bass line sounds so menacing. I love it. Matkin.
The second-ever performance of NYD went straight into the solo. That was quite the performance though! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I swear that there are two people tweeting right now. This account doesn’t have multiple personalities, honest!
@atu2 Was looking at reviews of Vertigo 2nd leg on your site. Almost every show people thought the screen was broken until COBL!
You may also want to refresh your inbox - the email I sent you last night is still waiting! :-P
That’ll teach me to not refresh the feed before tweeting! twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
Second song of the night is Menacing Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@sb_wreeldeal Yeah that was a weird late start, especially for a Sunday.
Thanks Ax, but I tweeted that three minutes ago! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
This Mixlr by @U2UVBR is in action: mixlr.com/ultraviolet-u2… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
1. U2 start just as I get back to my office. It’s Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Sunday Bloody Sunday opens #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Here comes Larry #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
First 3 Tree tracks are the only ones to have been done in Landover before. Even Bullet will make a city debut tonight #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
MLK, SBS, New Year’s Day, and Unforgettable Fire are the only songs played at both previous Landover concerts #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
This is U2’s third-ever concert in Landover. Previous were 8 Apr 1985 and 29 Sept 2009. Baltimore has been done 2x #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@Shaaakeitsalome Huh, interesting. Maybe they’ll fit in MW as well and go back to 22 songs! Wouldn’t be before time (now where’s ASOH!).
Shaaakeitsalome @u2gigs railmate of a friend saw the setlist at the tree stage. Ultraviolet is on there. zoomed in on pic to confirm but couldn’t see

Hoosier2012 @u2gigs @U2start Someone beside me saw the setlist and saw Vertigo on there. Guessing it’s a good bet we get a very similar set to Philly.

U2 are in Washington AND it’s World Refugee Day. Brace yourself, speeches are coming. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Early start for the support act tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 twitter.com/Hoosier2012/st…
@JohnAPurcell @Hoosier2012 My bet (Ax) is that UV is ASOH’d - it’ll be done on second nights.
