cutigers1wood New Years Day from Tampa @u2gigs #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 https://t.co/JkYPxpjOr7
Bono before Still Haven’t Found: “Here we still are, & here you still are! What a blessing you are, on a Sunday.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
6. I think Bono’s lost something. He’s singing about being unable to find it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@popkewitz I couldn’t possibly guess the following ten songs accurately!
cutigers1wood The beginning of The Joshua Tree @u2gigs #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 https://t.co/GRaDviITMH
@SallieAnnG I’ll take a Bad / ASOH medley like the Bad / First Time medley on 2005-09-21.
5. U2 are playing some obscure song about street names from an album about trees that nobody knows. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SallieAnnG And Sympathy for the Devil!
SVDCRacing @u2gigs Definitely enjoy the stage lighting being off during the snippet. It’s actually really damn cool seeing all… https://t.co/BpZfyEVgev

heynow85 Jesus @U2 Bad… https://t.co/tMKIpuPjLD
To be honest I miss the regular guessing game of “what will Bono snippet next in Bad?” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
This really is an excellent feed - thanks heaps! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/joycesmith/sta…
4. Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Simon and Garfunkel’s America has become a regular snippet in Bad. Here it is tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Hey Bono mate, I think you mean green white and orange.
“True colours fly, red white and blue”, Bono sings in Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono: “tonight we let go of some things, and gather some others. Let go of the useless, to be useful.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono: “we’d like to thank you back in your lives… letting us back in your country, which has given us so much.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
3. Bad. “Just give me a second, Edge”, says Bono. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

@Marcust99 Walk On had a very good run on 360, but I’d love Kite to come back.

bejwebby We are here!!! #u2joshuatreetour2017 my 18th show!!!!!! Whoop! @u2gigs https://t.co/1A1rGNvtrM
I (Ax) fucking adored Philly when I visited it in March. Somebody go grab a cheesesteak for me.
1. Sunday Bloody Sunday opens proceedings. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@Hoosier2012 This is really late, yeah. Should’ve been on at the start of the hour!
Here’s a working Mixlr: mixlr.com/julie-lovesu2/ and a scope: pscp.tv/w/1mnxeEzEPAnx… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Just about stage time - The Whole of the Moon is playing. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
If there’s any warhorse from Achtung that I want back in the setlist, it’s UTEOTW. But MWays obviously goes better w/ the women icons theme.
gracielover24 #U2TheJoshuaTree2017@u2 .. actually making America great again .. I’m thinking there’s more people here than the in… https://t.co/vwMz053jNR
@rdej68 They’ve done a total of 5 gigs plus a guest appearance on Bono & Ali’s anniversary, though one of those was… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Just discovered U2 played a show on Bono & Ali’s first anniversary (thx to @rdej68 for telling me their anni date): u2gigs.com/show634.html
@rdej68 5 shows on 21 August, inc one from 1979, plus a guest appearance. In 1983 they played on Bono & Ali’s first anniversary!
@mvdarosa Hahaha well played.
@AntonioMbass Yep. MWays will probably get a big crowd response, so UV might be ASOH’d - in rotation for 2nd nights.
Almost showtime, eh?
>locks office door
>turns off light
>definitely not here
popartist61 The waiting is the hardest part… #u2thejoshuatree2017 #nofilter #htcu11 @ Lincoln Financial Field instagram.com/p/BVgIiKEDWAh/
@Giuseppie82 Exactly. Back in 09 I was not tremendously surprised when the setlist settled for that part of the tour.
@AntonioMbass Oh, and to your second question: yes and yes.
@AntonioMbass I only picked up Vancouver being identical to the prev 4 through a hunch and a manual check.
@AntonioMbass We don’t count Happy Bday towards total songs performed, but in querying our database for these stats… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
But quite a way to go to beat ZooTV leg 5 in 1993: 9 out of 10 identical, inc 8 in a row. Melbourne 2 only change, w/ Dancing Queen added.
Of the last 5 shows on 360’s 2nd leg, the 4 from Norman to LA were identical & the last night in Vancouver only had addition of Happy B’day.
If MW doesn’t get played and U2 do same set as FL/KY shows, it’ll be first time U2 have played identical set 4x row since October 2009.
@mvdarosa Sorry but I rate UV as one of their ten worst.
@rdej68 At a guess surely there’s been one on Bono’s—whenever it is!
dkostival @u2gigs @u2gigs Headed in and ready….can’t wait!!! #JoshuaTree2017 #JT30 https://t.co/0H7BI2z19P
@RaulCamarena Sorry, I cannot stand UV and MW with solo makes me a bit less bored by this encore.
@rdej68 I’d be very surprised if this were a one-off anniversary addition anyway. They’ve not done that sort of thing before.
@Mario0003 They’ve rehearsed it with solo today.
@adamjDC I just can’t stand UV. MWays more than welcome.
(I await being tarred and feathered.)
Of course, what U2 really should be doing, since the set is short by Vertigo/360/IE standards, is add MWays and ASOH w/o cutting anything!
Ax here. 2 things:
1. Pleased if MWays replaces UV
2. Some of you know the band members’ anniversaries?! And I thought I knew obscure shit!
@U2ITNOL2UU2 @springsteen @grazymoher Haven’t heard anything but who knows.
@dkostival Hope you enjoy the show!
CBarcaQC The long lost Mysterious Ways solo!!! #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 @u2gigs
That sounds plausible to me. twitter.com/rdej68/status/…
CBarcaQC Looks like Ultraviolet is in trouble tonight. Mysterious Ways on the main stage w/ courageous women visuals…. https://t.co/3xAsROlRHv
CBarcaQC Make that five plays of Mysterious Ways during soundcheck, Bono singing the verses this time. #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 @u2gigs
CBarcaQC U2 seem really bent on Mysterious Ways tonight. The fourth soundcheck of the yet-to-be-played-this-tour song. #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 @u2gigs
@elitechrisvp @U2ITNOL2UU2 @U2Clips It was 7-7:30 so far.
@elitechrisvp @U2ITNOL2UU2 @U2Clips U2 should start at 9pm.
CBarcaQC A second run through of Mysterious Ways now. Still unsure if band or crew. CC: @u2gigs #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017
U2Clips A stat I’m sure @u2gigs will like: With SBS now opening shows (first war song to do so), Zooropa is the only U2 album not to have an opener
Derekcuth We got our numbered wristbands for Philly GA. Can come back at 2 #u2joshuatreetour2017 @atu2 @u2gigs @u2 https://t.co/WvTcggQVLs
Derekcuth GA line in Philly. 200 or so in line. Ready to go! @atu2 @u2gigs @u2 https://t.co/iM0nZnHlgQ
Surely some pilots though! RT @johnnyo217: @u2gigs It was a UPS plane! No passengers
