I look forward to doing a “take that Matkin!” when MWays hopefully replaces it in London!
Matkin kept reminding me of the Red Hill/Spanish Eyes stat so I forgot to mention this one too! twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
EveryBrokenWave Unless maybe they are doing it *ahem* pro-Bono?
Thank you, I’m here all week! twitter.com/HabsGirlSWO/st…
Also, if Ax was listening to my mixlr last night he would have heard me yell “Take that Ax!” at the start of Ultraviolet.
@popkewitz I tweeted it before left for the concert too. Just not mentioned during the show.
Though speaking of Canada and U2, I’m surprised there was so much Leonard Cohen last night. I’d thought One Tree might be for Gord Downie.
fi_bee_9 @u2gigs probably something more generic, feel good, happy and upbeat, like “beautiful day” or maybe a leonard cohen cover?
Maybe the most likely candidate is even Party Girl. Surprised that hasn’t cropped up in the tour yet to be honest.
Part of me does wonder what Bono and Edge will play in Ottawa for #Canada150. Few “CDN” U2 songs. ISHF for Lanois connection? White As Snow?
One thing Ax didn’t mention last night (even though I emailed him about it!) is that Vertigo has now reached 400 performances.

Trip makes me think of Stand Up Comedy. Awful song on record, but infinitely more fun live (or, SUC would be…) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Mothers was everything I had hoped it would be. Super emotional and cathartic after Exit. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Final thoughts: Menacing Day was incredible. First time hearing that in-person, the bass was beyond expectations. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
EveryBrokenWave See U2 fans, I’m clearly good luck. Who wants to be me travel, ticket, and hotels for the rest of the tour??… https://t.co/9UFtrFp0sh
Main stage RT @OnTheRoadWithU2: @u2gigs was I will follow main stage or Tree stage?
@stanleyabell My wife also disagrees with me, it is her favourite song!
.@tawny_cat No worries. I’d have left my own stream too!
u2gigs Great shirt :) Enjoy the show! Matt twitter.com/EveryBrokenWav…
I don’t know how Bono sings Exit every night. I almost passed out at the end from the intensity of it! What a blast. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Seeing the Joshua Tree visuals was mind-blowing. U2 could sell it as a film easily.
Red Hill Mining Town is better in person, but I still feel guitar would kick it out the park. I managed to stay spoiler free on the screen.
Elevation is not my favourite, but the whole crowd was moving. Not a great song, but it’s obvious why U2 keeps it in the set.
Now that I’ve been at the show I can definitely say that Miss Syria does not take the crowd out. Following with Beautiful Day was great.
clear streams for you all to listen in on. But thanks to the dozen who stuck around for the whole thing! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Sorry about the quality of my mixlr; the sound wasn’t particularly good in my section (the 100s). I’m glad @U2Brothr and @u2wanderer had…
Wow, well that concert was an absolute blast! And 22 songs; I’m a good luck charm it seems! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
donna_marie40 Boston GA is outside the Pro Shop. Next check in tonight from 6-8p. Morning check in TBD. @atu2 @u2gigs @U2tour #U2TheJoshuaTreeTour2017
@sb_wreeldeal Haha yeah I was slightly afraid something braindead was about to happen. But knew show wouldn’t end w… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@sb_wreeldeal Very keen to see if MW rotates back in for the NYC shows.
@sammykohn Yeah Bono definitely missed a cue at one point.
sb_wreeldeal @u2gigs Incredible. Just an incredible show. Blew Philly out of the water. Holy crap
DaleRM @u2gigs Oh, THAT’S what he said. Thanks. Funny that I was there but I’m learning what he said from reading others’ tweets ????
toolz2112 @u2gigs Maybe sometime before Larry turns 60, @U2 will return to Japan, NZ or Aus. Pigs might fly as well.
As suspected, I Will Follow was not on the printed setlist. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/mysteriousdays…
@angelavred Huh? Red Hill isn’t. The point is just that it’s finally reached the same amount of plays as the most-played b-side.
EveryBrokenWave That was a better end than a bloody handstand! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 @u2gigs
If you missed it earlier, here’s the announcement of Sao Paulo’s 3rd gig, the final one for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017: u2gigs.com/article1186.ht…
Here is our write-up and the full setlist for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 in Toronto: u2gigs.com/article1187.ht… #JT30
Thanks so much to our own Matkin @EveryBrokenWave, to @U2BROTHR, to @u2songs, & to everyone else who streamed tonight! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
markpeterboro U2 Setlist chart after Toronto (17 shows) #setlistgeek #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 @u2gigs https://t.co/X6mbZaA1q7
I Will Follow is the end of the show, and a very good ending it is. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Now, U2, this is how you do it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
22. I. WILL. FOLLOOOOOW. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
There’s going to be 22! They’re getting Edge’s Gibson Explorer! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@nitebus It’s been kind of odd with it having the same snippet almost every night this tour rather than a revolving door of them!
Hear Us Coming verse is at the end of One. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
mackaycartoons It’s anthem after anthem #U2toronto https://t.co/QaeeSvT8Co
So, will One be the closer, or will this show go to 22 songs? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
21. Speech over, One has begun #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Speech time. One will be at the end of it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
20. Ultra Violet #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Vertigo has snippet of It’s Only Rock ‘n’ Roll (But I Like It) at the end. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
So after 5 shows in a row being closed by Vertigo, presumably something else will tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@nitebus I know! I couldn’t believe it when Beautiful Day overtook Bad back around 2009.
@AntonioMbass Shame that it was an option at the start of tour and now doesn’t seem to be. /grumpy
19. Vertigo - bit of a change to the encore order here #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
The first US city to embrace U2 back in the day definitely is a sort of homecoming for the band. Deserves ASOH. twitter.com/Mommajaayyy/st…
18. Elevation #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@amubalt @k_now_waite @U2BROTHR Yep, this may be the best stream so far this tour.
That’s the 98th different song we record snippeted in Beautiful Day. Just 2 to go until BDay becomes 1st song with 100 different snippets!
Bono snippets O Canada, the national anthem, in the middle of Beautiful Day. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@Richard_hammond I’m a little surprised too. Hoping it shows up at some point. The lack of 40 is the biggest surprise to me though.
17. Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Obviously no snippet of The New Colossus in Miss Sarajevo tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono in Miss Sarajevo: “Canada, when others build walls, you open your arms! When others divide into tribes, you build a beautiful mosaic.”
16. Encore begins with Miss Sarajevo #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Or even better, let’s have The Fly or a Pop song in London and Berlin!
Encore break. For Matkin’s sake I hope tonight’s encore has UV - and then that MW comes back for me in London & Berlin. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@roussyjf Yeah, Bono’s mentioned that - but the tour doesn’t get any closer than Toronto!
15. Mothers of the Disappeared. I know Matkin will be excited to finally hear this live. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Usual snippets from Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe in Exit. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
14. Walter Trump says the world will come to a flaming end at midnight tonight. It’s Exit time. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@GnoccoFritto “Who knew the lemon was actually a helicopter!”
u2songs Moon is up, and over one tree hill…#U2TheJoshuaTree2017 @U2Community @u2 #Toronto https://t.co/uD2NKtYPPa
Bono gives a shoutout to the people listening outside: “you people in the towerblocks, sing for you also!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@GnoccoFritto Bad weather can delay even those!
13. One Tree Hill, dedicated to Leonard Cohen #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono tells story of Cohen giving up smoking, but wanting to smoke a cigarette, just one, on his 80th birthday. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono then recalls Leonard Cohen, says he’s thought about him all day, reminisces spending Cohen’s 79th birthday with him.
Bono on GregCarroll: “he followed us home to Dublin…became the spirit of our band then…lost him in a split second.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I was just thinking this! Not going to want a delay are they… twitter.com/atu2/status/87…
Bono about Edge, to Canada: “is that the kind of sexy man you want blowing out your birthday candles?” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 #Canada150
12. Trip Through Your Wires. Bono jokes about having never practiced harmonica, not an hour in his life. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono mentions the impending #Canada150. “A mere baby in terms of our ancient isle! But next to your adolescent neighbour, an old soul.”
Bono: “Canada, thank you for giving us Irish safety and sanctuary all those years ago.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@EveryBrokenWave It sounds pretty muffled I’m afraid. But there are a couple of others clearer at the moment.
11. In God’s Country, “about how landscapes change, inside of you… or outside in the world” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
There are a bunch of Mixlrs up tonight. I think I forgot to mention this one earlier: twitter.com/TheeEdge/statu…
@atu2comSherry I’m gutted I couldn’t stay in Europe long enough to add the Barcelona show, just in hope of Spanish Eyes!
@EveryBrokenWave I hope you’re pleased I remembered this!
Of course Sweetest Thing has been played more than both, but only after it was re-recorded and released as a single in its own right.
10. Red Hill Mining Town. This is its 17th performance ever, equalling most-played JT b-side, Spanish Eyes. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
