Here’s our write-up and the full setlist for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 first night in Argentina: u2gigs.com/article1235.ht…
Many thanks to @mysteriousdays for a fantastic feed of the main set, and to @cecitomi for a Periscope of the encore! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
That’s the end. When Bono got out the champagne I thought we might get I Will Follow or Spanish Eyes, but not to be. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono’s opening a bottle of champagne, “a toast … to Lionel Messi, his lordship”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono: “what a crowd! What a night you’ve given for us! Thank you!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Like in Bogotá, One ends with “no them there’s only us” from Invisible. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Also, every time Bono’s not in the US and calls somewhere a great country, I expect him to accidentally call them America.
Another error, this time in One. Bono goes back for another take at “did I disappoint you?” verse. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
21. Speech / One (snippet) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
20. Ultra Violet, little false start, Bono asks Edge to keep going; Bono then comes in a little late. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono about Best Thing: “that was about the great woman that I live with”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
19. You’re the Best Thing About Me. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
The snippet at the end of Vertigo tonight is Rebel Rebel. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono asks Argentina: “Do you want Spanish lessons from an Irish man?” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
18. Vertigo #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

17. Elevation #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Sounds like @mysteriousdays’ Mixlr is back now: mixlr.com/mysteriousdays/ #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Was that a Starman snippet in Beautiful Day? Anybody can confirm? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
This Periscope just came live: periscope.tv/w/1OyKArjagmeG… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Has @mysteriousdays’s Mixlr crashed for anyone else, or is it just me? I now have no feed. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
16. Encore begins with Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
On Mixlr @mysteriousdays has described the Mothers flashmob: fans were given white handkerchiefs, which they waved during the song.
Encore break. Fingers crossed Spanish Eyes comes back to the encore. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Crowd is singing it very loudly. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
El Pueblo Vencera chant at the end of Mothers of the Disappeared. This is how the song should be performed. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono introduces MothersOTD: “for those in Argentina fighting for human rights past and present, we sing this for you” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
15. Mothers of the Disappeared. Apparently a flashmob of some sort happening in the audience right now for this song. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Exit has usual snippets of Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
14. Exit. Walter Trump’s got a message for La Plata. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
13. One Tree Hill #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
12. Trip Through Your Wires #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
11. In God’s Country. Bono: “this song hasn’t changed in 30 years … [but] it means more” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@Brady5008 I’m sure there are bigger fish to fry than covering U2 concerts, but if we’re only frying the big fish m… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
10. Red Hill Mining Town #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
9. Running to Stand Still #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Snippet of America from West Side Story in Bullet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
8. Bullet the Blue Sky #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
7. Anyway, next song! With or Without You. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Stand By Me almost - but maybe not quite - long enough for me to use our medley feature… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
They’re going at this snippet of Stand By Me - Larry’s just kicked back in on the drums. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Ooh, snippet at the end of I Still Haven’t Found. These haven’t been common this tour. It’s Stand By Me. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
6. I Still Haven’t Found #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
There’s the usual snippet of California in Streets. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
5. The Joshua Tree sprouts in Argentina with Where the Streets Have No Name. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Here’s our mainpage article for today’s #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 show with the full set live: u2gigs.com/article1235.ht…
I can’t believe U2 are going to go the whole tour coming w/in one song of a sublime Bad/Streets segue, but use clunky Pride/Streets instead.
4. Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bad has a snippet of Bowie’s Heroes. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
He’s now switched to English, thanking crowd for coming out, says Lionel Messi “surely proves that god exists”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
More Spanish from Bono. I don’t speak a word of the language, so I can’t tell you what he’s saying. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
3. Time for Bad #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
By the way, Argentina, very happy for you that you won today, but I wish you’d knocked off Australia in the rugby last weekend too!
Bono thanks Noel Gallagher in Spanish over the intro of NYD. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
2. New Year’s Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Get your La Plata Mixlr good times right here courtesy of @mysteriousdays: mixlr.com/mysteriousdays/ #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Aaaand I finished making lunch just in time.
Let’s move from sport to music. Argentina have downed Ecuador and U2 have commenced with Sunday Bloody Sunday. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
WTSHNN While it’d be cool to watch a futbol match on the @U2 #thejoshuatreetour2017 screen can you imagine if we could play Mario Kart on it?

I would definitely welcome concert promoters in Australia doing this for Aussie Rules games next season. Especially Essendon games.
Late start for U2 in La Plata today—they’re broadcasting Argentina vs Ecuador between Noel and U2’s sets…. twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
