@ladyserena Well, I am going with djerdap of Interference, he wouldn’t be averse to filming me embarrassing myself.

@ladyserena I’m tempted to get really drunk and shout the inthistowntastic version of the lyrics in London. It’s what tuf bono would want.

@duuuaaaane @dontgoslideaway I’m still just a little bitter that I only got to see 360 in 2009 and 2010, not the brilliant 2011 shows.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to duuuaaaane

@johnnyo217 Me too, I definitely thought an extra song not just a skipped encore break.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to johnnyo217

@johnnyo217 There are reputedly archived soundboard tapes of every show back as far as War, possibly October. Oh to get access to that…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to johnnyo217

@DYWAT Yes, the rumours are heating up. But take them with a grain of salt for now. Hopefully know for sure soon.

Thank you so much to everybody who streamed on Periscope/Mixlr tonight, always appreciated. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

That’s it. ASOH’s back but Bad’s streak is broken and they’re still doing just 21 songs. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

We shouldn’t have to pick between ASOH and Bad…

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@FamousRamos_ @Drea104 @nsauerpauer Crazy Tonight. Meaning the “Linear” edition

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to FamousRamos_

U2, go on, stay on stage and do Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@nitebus I’m down for One Tree Hill x2 myself.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to nitebus

Bono just said about Little Things “it’s the last song on the album”, i.e. Songs of Experience #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

21. The Little Things That Give You Away, back after missing one show. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Yep, looks like it’ll be Little Things, with that nod Bono gave in the inflection of “every little thing gonna be alright”.

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono is now snippeting Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds, crowd singing along.

 via Twitter Web Client

That was a fantastic snippet on the Vertigo Tour. twitter.com/MrMattLaTorre/…

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2comSherry I suppose if we count ahead about 8 or 9 cities and choose a song from/about that city, we might get close!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2comSherry

MrMattLaTorre @u2gigs Reminds me of Bono’s little speech before One at Slane #2 in 2001. “Why don’t we just stay on the stage and finish the show?”

 via Twitter for Android (retweeted on 6:09 AM, Jun 5th, 2017  via Twitter Web Client)

So far this encore is the same as Dallas. But it had I Will Follow after Elev. I expect Little Things tonight. And maybe Bad. #JT30

It is the 95th different song to be snippeted in Beautiful Day. Closing in on that 100! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Beautiful Day has a snippet of Tonight, Tonight by the Smashing Pumpkins, followed by shoutout to Corgan. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

After One, Bono says “I don’t feel like leaving”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@nitebus I’m worried it’s the latter…

Yo Ax, are you noting every Hear Us Coming on the tour? Or are we gonna have to trawl through all these Ones too?

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

SilRigote Whenever Bono says “Luminous…whatever” I start singing Luminious Times in my head. How AMAZING would that be to hear this song live? #U2

18. One, with the usual speech about social movements beforehand #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@Drea104 @nsauerpauer Wow. I really did think it was the universal punching bag, but maybe that’s just Interference.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Drea104

@Drea104 @nsauerpauer It’s breathtaking how bad it is compared to similar messages about hypocrisy in, say, Please.

@Drea104 @nsauerpauer However good the message may be, I think it’s the most clumsy simile Bono could have possibly… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to Drea104

@robtask Yeah, fingers crossed they actually go back to 22.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to robtask

17. Ultra Violet, with usual speech about women’s achievements. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Usual snippet of The New Colossus in Miss Sarajevo. Bono isn’t doing the “lift my lamp” bit now though. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

I (Ax) am willing to bet Little Things will be back tonight in place of I Will Follow. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

16. Miss Sarajevo opens the encore #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@dontgoslideaway @nsauerpauer Hahaha, I don’t agree but that’s a great call anyway.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to dontgoslideaway

@sb_wreeldeal @jay2bell …now that I’m morbidly curious to see.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

I (Ax) like how many people think I’m eating at the gig because of my Trip comment. Oh hell no. It’s lunchtime in Australia though!

 via Twitter Web Client

That’s the end of the main set. Curious to see how altered the encore is tonight. Will Bad show up? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@rnrdiva I do, when I’m covering them from home and it’s lunchtime in Australia!

@sb_wreeldeal @atu2comSherry Woah woah woah, Slug and Beach Sequence are stunning.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to sb_wreeldeal

@dontgoslideaway As long as you put the songs in a totally incoherent order, you can probably make an awful setlist even out of good tracks.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to dontgoslideaway

@atu2comSherry I’d definitely rate that above a few other Passengers songs! But mainly the likes of Swan, Plot 180, Viva Davidoff.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to atu2comSherry

I’ll defend Stand Up Comedy. Elvis Ate America on the other hand…

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

Exit has the usual snippets of Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@dontgoslideaway …actually, I think that’s one of the better tracks on HTDAAB. Which isn’t high praise, but still.

@RaulCamarena I’m no fan of any of those three songs! But I’d enjoy Elevation more than Trip. Stuck can walk off a cliff.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to RaulCamarena

Bono introduces One Tree Hill by dedicating it to those who have lost “a beautiful soul”, Greg Carroll, London, Kabul, Portland, anywhere.

 via Twitter Web Client

But I concede, it does sound like a fair bit of fun at these shows. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

I know a lot of you love Trip, and I (Ax) appreciate it too: a good opportunity to visit the bathroom & get some food! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via Twitter Web Client

Bono is giving a shoutout to Enda Kenny, Taoiseach of Ireland, who is present tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@AntonioMbass No, today the gap isn’t quite that long. But if Bad makes it to the next show as well - should i reveal my hand? ;)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AntonioMbass

@AntonioMbass Actually, Matkin is pre-empting me. He’s right for today, but next show - yep!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@AntonioMbass I’m guessing it has moved to the encore. I hope it sticks around tonight & tomorrow because I have good stats if so!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to AntonioMbass

@nitebus Agreed. I definitely think it works better later in the show.
