@erin_hanson Haha, yep. Bono has said the remark before One, but Vancouver is the only show where he tried to get crowd to chant it.

Here is our writeup and the full setlist for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 in Dallas: u2gigs.com/article1170.ht… #JT30
A HUGE thank you to @postrin for one of the best Mixlr feeds this tour. Our mainpage report coming shortly. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
That’s the end. 21 songs. Little Things on printed set but I Will Follow played. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Beautiful Day/Elevation/I Will Follow is a very good encore to keep the crowd jumping through to the end. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@LookItsMorris If so, bit weak to go down from 22 songs to 21 “just in case” they then spontaneously choose to do a 22nd.
SilRigote Ok…ok. I like this set!!! Just bring ASOH and I think this will work beautifully! It really flows this way!!! #U2
Look who nailed this setlist change 25 minutes ago! twitter.com/nitebus/status…
@LookItsMorris They didn’t at the previous two shows. :(
Will I Will Follow be last, or will they keep going with Little Things? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I Will Follow continues its streak of every #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 performance not being on the printed setlist. #JT30
21. I WILL FOLLOW! Not on the printed setlist! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
This show is latest Elevation has ever been played in a set, 20th. Beats 18th at 5 out of the previous 6 gigs on #U2TheJoshuaTree2017. #JT30
20. Elevation. So there ARE more songs than just the one Bono foreshadowed pre-BDay. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
“You’ve got to hold onto love in these luminous times. This is a special song, one we don’t play much… DESIRE!” twitter.com/dontgoslideawa…
Bono just snippeted Waltz Across Texas in Beautiful Day. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
mysteriousdays @u2gigs I would die if they played Luminous Times!
Yeah this is a bit curious. Even if there’s a curfew about to hit, it’s not as if U2 gave two hoots about that in V… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
I actually thought they were about to diverge from printed set and do I Will Follow or something. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
19. Beautiful Day. Printed set seemed to indicate an encore break before this, but none taken. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono says they’ve got one more… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono introducing the band to the crowd after One. Adam on bass, Larry on drums, “Edge on who knows!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Climax of One has Hear Us Coming. Bono faffs up the lyrics a bit on the second go-around. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@dontgoslideaway @nitebus If people thought I melted down for ASOH’s debut, 11OTT would be something else again.
I love U2’s political side. I love that they place it front and centre live.
I do not love really long-winded speeches before One.
18. One #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@Lady_Smeagol Got to be at least fifty by now!
Bono, you keep saying LUMINOUS a lot of TIMES.
Come on guys. Come ON.
@nitebus God I need I Will Follow again.
@tawny_cat Yep! Didn’t expect this; past experience suggested this would be same set as Houston.
@dbnarz No, it missed big chunks of Elevation and Vertigo Tours.
Elevation and UV had been paired previously as part of section celebrating women. Interesting to do UV separately tonight.
17. Ultra Violet! Dedicated to women in band’s life. Bit of an encore setlist shakeup. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Miss Sarajevo has its usual snippet of The New Colossus. Bono saying it passionately tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Nope. On UF 1985 played at only full-tour Irish show. On JT 1987 and Elevation 2001, played at one Irish show each. twitter.com/dontgoslideawa…
In 1987 they thought it could replace 40’s “how long?” as an end-of-show crowd chant!
It seems neither 1987 nor 2017’s attempts to get the crowd chanting El Pueblo Vencera have worked as well as Bono h… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
16. Time for Miss Sarajevo to begin the first encore. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono describes the crowd’s continued affection for the Joshua Tree as “shocking and wonderful to us”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I’m really surprised Bono’s stopped doing the El Pueblo Vencera chant at the end of Mothers. Encore break time. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@lukas_venencia Yep! I can’t wait for my turn to hear it live. -Ax
15. Mothers of the Disappeared #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I don’t think there is any question Exit is one of the highlights of this tour—or any tour, really! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Exit has snippets of Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@myeucatastrophe Yep, every night!
The latter is very possible! Bono over the years has usually got this sort of thing wrong, heh. twitter.com/nitebus/status…
jenheger @u2gigs Goosebumps. Pinched myself during Rose Bowl concerts. Never thought I would hear RHMT live.
timneufeld All Points Bulletin! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 https://t.co/Tdt5xHw1oz
etdebruin One Tree Hill. Beautiful introduction by Bono on their friendship with Greg Carrol. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 https://t.co/eKHTAjAAsz
14. Exit. “I bring you a message: the world will come to a flaming end at midnight tonight!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
And this, of course, makes One Tree Hill the 13th song of the night. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono intros One Tree Hill w/ speech about losing Greg Carroll. “We were friends, comrades, we wrote this song for him.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono: “Adam doesn’t remember the eighties”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono’s trying to remember first venue U2 played in Dallas. Got it right! Bijou on 2 April 1981: u2gigs.com/show238.html #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@dontgoslideaway @JesseBasi @atu2 I would do many unholy things to get Hawkmoon into the setlist.
“Thankyou for having us in your country. For hundreds of years this has been the promised land for Irish people.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@coribald I can’t say I’m particularly sad about that! Though it’d be bloody hilarious as a once-off.
11. Bono does the usual “welcome to side 2” announcement before In God’s Country. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@sammykohn Geez I wish the band would give us some coin for this, haha.
Bad has been played 6 shows in a row. Beats 5 in a row in Nov/Dec ’15 & equals streak at end of Elevation in ’01. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
OK, we’ve got a couple of people saying California snip was in Streets, others saying not. I’m removing it, will check after gig.
8. Bullet the Blue Sky #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@Renegade_Son Chicago is the test. Two gigs. If it appears at neither, it’s gone for the leg, at least.
With or Without You does not have Shine Like Stars tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
7. With or Without You #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
patoalvarez78 @u2br @u2gigs @U2 I don’t why they take out A Sort Of Homecoming. The tandem with Bad is the best of the best!!!
Cheers, here’s confirmation Streets included its regular snippet of California (There Is No End to Love)…. twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
6. I Still Haven’t Found #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Yep, they did this at the Super Bowl in 2002, and surprisingly that’s the only time it’s happened. twitter.com/Hoosier2012/st…
RaulCamarena @u2gigs Something went wrong in the beginning of STREETS, edge seemed to have some guitar troubles. Music and video aren’t synced as usual.
Oops, I totally missed if Streets had the California snippet or not. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I really can’t believe U2 haven’t tried Bad or ASOH into Streets this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
5. Where the Streets Have No Name opens the Joshua Tree. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono at end of Pride: “some people think [Dr King’s] dream is dead, but not tonight in Dallas, Texas, so sing!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@starryclovers Next shows are 2 nights in Chicago. I hope it appears at one of them!
4. Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono is snippeting Simon & Garfunkel’s America at the end of Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
u2br @U2 bring “A Sort Of Homecoming” back to the set…. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
U2start @u2gigs They can play Bad 24 times + Bad / Bad (snippet) and it still wouldn’t make up for the loss of ASOH.
3. Here’s Bad, the earliest it’s EVER appeared in a setlist at a regular tour gig. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@Naomi_U2Sydney @SallieAnnG I don’t know, my experience of NSW pubs in general is too much shnitz & gravy, not enough chicken parma.
Here’s our mainpage article where we have the full setlist live from Dallas: u2gigs.com/article1170.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
2. New Year’s Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono in SBS references terrorist attack in Manchester, leads in to “no more! no more!” chant. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SallieAnnG @Naomi_U2Sydney I’m allergic to fish, unfortunately! I hope I can find a pub that does a good chicken parma at least…

pappy90 @u2gigs does anyone out there have any screen pics during Bullet? (preferably focused in on the bit during the solo) please RT :)
When I get time I’ll start cataloguing all the Please snippets. I have a feeling we’re missing a few dozen…
@LookItsMorris I’d have to double check on that! I’ve got 92 other Pleases ringing in my head since then…
Also for those curious, SBS has been snippeted 101 times. That puts it just behind 40.
For those curious, all of those 93 SBS snippets in Please are the drumbeat when Bono sings “September…”
@TheWrage We just hadn’t really checked before, time and ease to listen. We only had about 5 or 6 of the 93 listed.
nitebus it’s been an eight year process for Ax (@u2gigs) but will definitely be well worth the wait. one of my favorite U2… https://t.co/2yWoV9RTBz
@brooks_moore Yes, around then. Last couple nights they have started about 8:45.
@JonathanCrites …what Bono/Edge song they end with. Rest of set was static from beginning to end.
@JonathanCrites The only real changes? Pop songs dropped over time. Edge karaoke different each night (replaced by SBS from Sarajevo on) &
LookItsMorris This is how I picture @u2gigs headquarters. https://t.co/dom4ap0TL1
Could go either way, but in our database it is currently ‘Us’. RT @cqleonardo: @u2gigs is officially Hear Me Coming or Hear Us Coming?
@JonathanCrites Trade secret! PopMart honestly the least diverse tour. You know one set, you know 90% of them.
Your turn, Ax. RT @cqleonardo: @u2gigs now i’m waiting for Hear Me Coming in One
SBS likely still 2nd ahead of Pride though. If you discount all those snippets, SBS is fourth on the list u2gigs.com/most-played-so…
Because of that SBS jumps to the top of total song representation u2gigs.com/most-played-so… IWF likely higher still
Phew, took a few days but went through every single PopMart concert and listened to every single Please. Result: all 93 SBS snippets added!

nitebus @Renegade_Son @u2gigs The Cure are the winners though. same age as U2 pretty much and they played 30 songs almost every single night in 2016
@EdgeFest A lot of the between-song banter has become generic very quickly.
@_JamesMiller_ This is my hope. The Vertigo Tour suggests precedent for this to happen too.
