@EveryBrokenWave The performance that I suffered through in 2006 was, if I remember correctly, full band.

24. Here comes a surprise: “this is for Michael Hutchence. To you. Don’t know if this is an argument, with myself.”… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Bono asks Edge “you OK there? Did you blow up the garden shed again?” This refers to the intro he has used for Edge… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
21. Contrary to some predictions, mine included, Every Breaking Wave remains in the set. No Stuck in a Moment. Or i… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

17. “That’s the Joshua Tree! And then we had to lighten it up a bit, didn’t we?” Angel of Harlem. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
To date, U2 have played Angel of Harlem after Mothers, but they soundchecked AIWIY in Auckland and Desire in Melbou… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
16. Mothers of the Disappeared, which, because I am really bold, I added to the setlist in our database a minute ago. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
15. “I bring you a message: the world will come to a flaming end at midnight tonight.”
It’s Exit. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
@CathalU2ie My mates and I were shouting “in this town!” at each other in Adelaide in reference to that!
@CathalU2ie It is abysmal and never should have replaced Heartland.
14. One Tree Hill, preceded by Bono’s dedication to Greg Carroll: “he came on board, and he stayed on board, even i… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
13. The worst song on the Joshua Tree. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
What, did you think you’d get through this gig without a spicy take from me?
Larry promises that his sample waltz rhythm is something you can play in your sleep!
Edge then relates, humorously, advice about how he’d never be busier if he played country music. Larry admits he ha… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
“Has anyone heard of the Drifting Cowboys? You haven’t. You weren’t born. Edge and Larry were barely born… I’ve a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

CathalU2ie Edge doing a great job on Bullet considering Ax has his slide ???? @u2gigs
#TheJoshuaTreeTour2019
Bullet has the usual snippets of Star-Spangled Banner and America from West Side Story. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
By the by… the Oils played a small theatre in Thirroul (a suburb of Wollongong) in May and it’s one of the best s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
9. Bullet the Blue Sky, with a shoutout to Midnight Oil at the start (but no snippet of an Oils song). #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
7. I Still Haven’t Found, in case you had forgotten what song follows Streets on the Joshua Tree. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
Streets ends with snippets of Singin’ in the Rain and an extended take of Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head. #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
You folks have no idea how much I would pay for the band to actually break out I Threw a Brick. twitter.com/U2start/status…

@rolyjenrosie He has gone on at 6:30 or 7pm so far, depending on local curfews. Think it was 7pm tonight.

Yep, it’s a good intro! Lots of people in Melbourne last week sang along. twitter.com/conorkiwi/stat…
The Whole of the Moon is blasting over the PA in Sydney, which means U2 will be on in a few minutes. Get cosy! #U2JT19 #U2Sydney
