kah6890 @u2gigs Yesterday. I know one person who went straight from airport to line. Luggage in tow.
Elevation and Ultraviolet
Apparently Pride was rehearsed before Streets, which was incomplete.
@mysteriousdays Oh, you met @u2wanderer? Cool! #Blessings #Bono #U2
mysteriousdays WOW! What a joy to meet the birthday boy himself today! #Blessings #Bono #U2 https://t.co/1aILqLIU6h

Has anybody started lining up for GA yet?
@georgemccauley Haven’t seen any yet
And it looks like I logged in at the right time! Afternoon session has started with Streets and Beautiful Day.
Won’t it be funny if everything they’ve done so far was just to throw us off the scent and they pull out a totally different set
Based on what we’ve been told via Twitter, we expect tonight to be the last big rehearsal with a day off tomorrow.

@toolz2112 Yep. But any rocker better than just a bunch of slow stuff.
@BrianCondor At least 100 in fact. Doesn’t change that Elev is a better encore choice than a run of slow ballads.
@ResonanceGlobal It’s just a silly dumb song. They’ve better rockers: Fly, IWF, Gone, HMTMKMKM, etc. But Elev a bet… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@erick__leandro Me too. Come on guys, throw us a bone, anything from Pop will do.
@Rlabs19 Well I’d agree the band have plenty of better rockers and I don’t need to hear Elevation again. But I’ll t… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

@winst0nw0lf I’m quite surprised Desire hasn’t been rehearsed yet.
@coribald I can see COBL getting a rest, but yeah no Vertigo would be a massive shock.
@coribald I’m just not sure it fits that well. The one song they seem to really back from SOI is EBW & there are al… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
No further news from the venue, so I think U2 are done for the night. Here’s our report: u2gigs.com/article1158.ht… #JT30
@coribald Nope, nothing at all from HTDAAB, NLOTH, or SOI.
@coribald Those would be great early in set. I personally want encore to have Fly, UTEOTW, Gone, etc. But I’ll take… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
jimyc on Interference says there IS still activity at the stadium but too quiet to discern songs. #JT30
Love how many of you are horrified by news of Elevation. It’s no fave of mine (Ax) but encore needs more songs to get stadium jumping. #JT30
I heard nothing after Beautiful Day and now there don’t seem to be any streams. U2 might be finished for the night? #JT30
@PBear1979 Can you confirm if the second run-through of Beautiful Day was the end of rehearsals this evening?
@CraigFairlie @asongcalledbad Yes, that’s why they turned down the volume so much.
@Rodrivox @mysteriousdays Nothing new revealed about it in the last couple of days, no.
Beautiful Day being rehearsed again. #JT30
@stevegoodair @PBear1979 But I hope for some nice drone footage sometimes during the tour. Someone will do it. /Matt
@stevegoodair @PBear1979 There is a roof :)
Elevation is the 22nd song confirmed to have been rehearsed for #JT30.
Here we go, they are indeed rehearsing Elevation. #JT30
The volume might have been turned down but the band are now audibly rehearsing Beautiful Day. #JT30
The band are past curfew, which explains the drop in volume. Mothers is definitely being rehearsed now per @mysteriousdays. #JT30
I thought I could hear something faint in the background. Definitely the lighting for Exit as well. So that was a c… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Hang on, they’ve stopped One Tree Hill super early, after “the moon is up…” line. #JT30
Here’s One Tree Hill. Will never forget how great this was closing Auckland 2 in November 2006. #JT30
My (Ax) new proposal: open all #JT30 gigs w/ Womanfish. Wish I could read the list on Larry’s kit at start of clip: youtube.com/watch?v=go1LrU…
Trip Through Your Wires time. Let’s be honest, U2 should play the inthistowntastic version from 1986: youtube.com/watch?v=ClnLoq… #JT30
Edge’s backing vocals for In God’s Country very clear even through this Mixlr feed. #JT30
In God’s Country. It’s full band, in case you’re one of the people fearing an acoustic cop-out version. #JT30
Red Hill Mining Town being rehearsed now. Can’t wait to hear this one live. #JT30
Now they’re rehearsing Running to Stand Still again. #JT30
Nothing yet since the end of RTSS. #JT30
U2 have just run through Bullet and RTSS. #JT30
@mayazebra Well yes but apart from hardcore fans nobody knows them outside of Sweetest Thing and, in Spain, Spanish… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@mayazebra I’m not sure what you mean. They shouldn’t do anything but the 11 JT songs…?

@TheeEdge @johnnyo217 If it must be played - and it’s not too bad a choice for a stadium show - I’d put it in the encore.
It is not confirmed whether Elevation was live by the band, or a taped mix, but other little bits and pieces were also worked on.
Report on Interference that Elevation has been rehearsed today. #JT30
