@d_russ I think I count 23 lines total, though at least one is presumably a “DC SETLIST” sort of heading at the top.

bethandbono Have done away with the Technicolor tree on IGC and keep it on Irish flag colors the whole song…. https://t.co/dkMJD9pYcz

Bono says the United States “are kind of everybody’s country. That’s a blessing and a responsibility.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Ochre was new. I was busy working on a Pokemon list and forgot to check my shades of red. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

Bono: “Thanks for giving the Irish sanctuary all those years ago. It is indeed World Refugee Day.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@GnoccoFritto Yeah I can’t say I’m sad neither of them are in the set, bit overplayed, though that Desire in 2016 would’ve definitely fit.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to GnoccoFritto

I was looking forward to something tonight though! I used ochre in Philly, was that a new one or had you done it already?

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

“We have to stay awake to dream”, Bono adds. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

Bono about In God’s Country: “a song about how the landscape you thought you knew can change” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@atu2comSherry I Still Haven’t found Wynaut I’m Looking For!

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to atu2comSherry

Here’s Bono’s usual post-RHMT speech about the band just discovering side 2 of JT and how relevant it is today. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@GnoccoFritto Genuinely surprised none of Desire, Angel, or AIWIY has shown up yet. WLCTT would’ve been perfect in… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to GnoccoFritto

Hey Matkin, have you run out of different shades of red to use when announcing Red Hill Mining Town?

 via Twitter Web Client

@GnoccoFritto Then I’ll segue into Heartland to expose them to even more great U2 cuts they should know. (or U2 toss me off stage)

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to GnoccoFritto

Oops, I mean Mining, not Minior. Sorry, had Pokemon on the brain there. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

9. Wait, where’s Matkin got to? Guess I (Ax) will call Running to Stand Still. But you knew it was coming anyway. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Running into likely Red Hill Minior Town #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@GnoccoFritto Yeah, god, it’s like they didn’t even rehearse it.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to GnoccoFritto

@GnoccoFritto I’ve always wished to be pulled up, say “yeah I can play Angel of Harlem”, and then bust out ASOH - or 11 O’clock Tick Tock.

@Drea104 My money (Ax) is definitely on some Cohen.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

@GnoccoFritto Gotcha. But I don’t think it will be a surprise this tour - already in set makes it more likely than not.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to GnoccoFritto

Bullet has the tiny Black Dog snippet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Maybe next time… meanwhile, Bullet arrives. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

@GnoccoFritto How was it a lock on IE when it hadn’t been in the set for 14 years at that time?

RaulCamarena @u2gigs I keep high hopes for Mexico2, they’ll be like home down here. #BringBackASOH

 via Tweetbot for iΟS (retweeted on 3:36 AM, Jun 21st, 2017  via Twitter Web Client)

With or Without You. Let’s get a Shine Like Stars tonight, okay Bono? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

atu2 No California snippet in Streets (if you’re keeping track) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via TweetDeck (retweeted on 3:30 AM, Jun 21st, 2017  via Twitter Web Client)

@fnap2010 No. Largely intact, but bound to be some changes in Europe.

@postrin Calling out Ax on a blunder is how I got this job! Matkin.

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to postrin

Though if they feel they need to, they could just close the Rogers Centre dome to get artificial darkness in Toronto #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

@postrin Oh there have been more than enough embarrassing occasions where I (Ax) have posted some blunder…

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to postrin

Tonight is the longest of the year (for U2 concerts). It should get progressively darker for Streets from Toronto on #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Speak of the devil, it is Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

It honestly irks me whenever Pride noses ahead of IWF in play count because it gives a false impression. Speaking of Pride, here it is!

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

To be more precise, I am 99% certain that 130 currently unknown sets had I Will Follow. Repeat performances mean to… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…

 via Twitter Web Client

Bad has the usual snippet of Simon & Garfunkel’s America. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

By the way, at last concert Pride overtook IWF for most times played in our database. As Ax will tell you though, IWF likely 150 ahead still

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

I (Ax) will never tire of hearing Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

@postrin No they didn’t, they did MLK. Bad’s tour debut was Seattle.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to postrin

packetsherpa Pardon me, I am about to have a spiritual experience.

Bono mentions the recent shooting in Alexandria, VA and expresses gratitude that Steve Scalise survived. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

If U2 keep Bad for Toronto (I hope for ASOH) I wonder if they’ll keep America snippet or switch to something more CDN #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

“Our prayer is that tonight will be one of those epic nights that you and us won’t forget.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to u2gigs

I’m not sure they’d keep it in reserve for the second shows in South America. Would be over a leg without it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

Bono at start of Bad thanks the audience for coming to see them play, braving the traffic.#U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

 via Twitter Web Client

Third of the night? Bad. ASOH remains on the sidelines. If it is reserved for night 2 now, likely to show up once more #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@eddiequinones86 I call it that because this lower bass line sounds so menacing. I love it. Matkin.

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to eddiequinones86

The second-ever performance of NYD went straight into the solo. That was quite the performance though! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

I swear that there are two people tweeting right now. This account doesn’t have multiple personalities, honest!

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

@atu2 Was looking at reviews of Vertigo 2nd leg on your site. Almost every show people thought the screen was broken until COBL!

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to atu2

You may also want to refresh your inbox - the email I sent you last night is still waiting! :-P

 via U2gigs (Matkin) in reply to u2gigs

That’ll teach me to not refresh the feed before tweeting! twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…

Second song of the night is Menacing Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@sb_wreeldeal Yeah that was a weird late start, especially for a Sunday.

Thanks Ax, but I tweeted that three minutes ago! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

First 3 Tree tracks are the only ones to have been done in Landover before. Even Bullet will make a city debut tonight #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

MLK, SBS, New Year’s Day, and Unforgettable Fire are the only songs played at both previous Landover concerts #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

This is U2’s third-ever concert in Landover. Previous were 8 Apr 1985 and 29 Sept 2009. Baltimore has been done 2x #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

 via U2gigs (Matkin)

@Shaaakeitsalome Huh, interesting. Maybe they’ll fit in MW as well and go back to 22 songs! Wouldn’t be before time (now where’s ASOH!).

@cjnemec @Tim_Dinnissen I thought about adding as an Acrobat snippet but A) Ax would kill me and B) he sang it in the Zooropa style.
