@NJSmitty8 Support 7:30 and U2 9pm so far.
@tilldecember Chicago is the test. If it doesn’t show up at either gig, I fear it’s gone for good.
markpeterboro Setlist order has been shaken up a little again, this chart shows the correct order for Dallas @u2gigs… https://t.co/EGxS491PWe
allworksomeplay @u2gigs ASOH into Bad into Streets would be so epic

@dontgoslideaway Would’ve been good between One and Beautiful Day tonight.
@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.
@CBarcaQC @bethandbono But obviously I am completely gutted about ASOH, and still very deflated about the tour in t… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@CBarcaQC @bethandbono Not sure you can say they’ve lost confidence in Little Things when it was on printed set & p… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
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
12. Trip Through Your Wires #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
U2start Outside - it’s America. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 Image: @TwangNation https://t.co/4vsQvpe9gD
@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
@JesseBasi Good idea. Paging @EveryBrokenWave! (He’s not free tonight, unfortunately. Stuck with me, Ax.)
@sammykohn Thanks! We will have site staff at every European show, which will be cool.
paulwalker87 @u2gigs I think the guitar version fit the vibe of ZooTV, but would not be a fitting for a recreation of Joshua Tre… https://t.co/vo4JEZUwNc
We actually have Red Light as a database option too (as with all album songs), even though it’s never been played. Funny to see it come up.
It’s still surreal putting Red Hill Mining Town into our database. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
10. Red Hill Mining Town #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I really don’t know which I prefer. Both beautiful. But I’ve not seen guitar version live, so Edge, please switch b… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

9. Running to Stand Still #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…
@atu2 I was not expecting that shakeup to the order!

Here we go, The Pogues are playing. U2 time! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
That’s correct! Angel of Harlem wasn’t played again on Vertigo for over a year, once U2 got to Australia. twitter.com/3WiseMenblog/s…
Thought U2 would be on stage by about 10 mins ago but Dallas (Schoo, not the city) is still doing his tech thing now. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
On Mixlr @postrin warned reception a bit poor in Dallas, may be buffering, but will have gig on his showreel after. mixlr.com/postrin/
kend1974 @u2gigs getting closer to the pogues https://t.co/UrlKPjqA6Z
Actually, this show is in Arlington too, not Dallas. Need to tweak that in the database.
Yep, and some others in Arlington. But every tour has a gig in the DFW area, excluding IE. twitter.com/nitebus/status…
@mvdarosa Yeah, they’ve been bouncing around for a little while, might happen.
nitebus @u2gigs U2 have played Dallas on every US tour (aside from I&E) but no show is especially memorable. maybe a change tonightv
@Naomi_U2Sydney Oh man that’s one hell of a self-burn haha! I’m moving to Wollongong in a couple of weeks; may have to learn to stay in…
