The Joshua Tree Tribute Band in Boston (just outside) last night....

[She Is Raging]

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum, I wasnt sure where to post this.


Saw this band again last night... they are AWESOME. They really just do such a great job. Has anyone else here ever seen them?

I've heard a ton about them. Where did they play?

 

[She Is Raging]

they played at the beachcomber on wollaston beach in massachusetts....www.joshuatreeband.com I know there is one in CA too... not to be confused!

 

[MrBrau1]

They're just like the real U2, they play nothing from Zooropa or Pop.

 

[She Is Raging]

i know... not much achtung baby either, with the exception of One, and sometimes Even Better Than The Real Thing. Last night though, they did play Whose Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, which was a nice unexpected surprise.

There is indeed also a Joshua Tree band in Southern California, www.U2JT.com, THE premier southern California U2 tribute band and NOT to be confused with the JT Band on the East coast. No "Bono" in any U2 tribute band holds a candle to Bono B Jones's voice, in my humble opinion. These guys ROCK! Oh and they do Zooropa and Popmart in their repertoire!

Kren... you're killing me!

I LOVE YOU JT IN THAT CALIFORNIA SUN!

Well, it looks like Cali's JT has a lawyer to represent them. You know, there's probably a good reason why U2 doesn't play much, if anything from Pop or Zooropa. ...?

Why do they need a lawyer and to whom is the lawyer representing them?

 

[quest]

The lawyer comment was a joke. I was referring to Carek1230's defense of why they're much better than the J. Tree in Boston, or any other U2 trib, for that matter.

Oh. Plain text is a poor medium for humour sometimes...

Last I checked GONE was on POP. And what about STAY??? I believe that was on Zooropa.
How much stuff do they play off of UF theses days? Pride.... I guess the CD is crap by your definition. They did not play An Cat Dubh or Into the Heart, Electric Co since 'the 80's...those are back in the set now. Before that, the only song on Boy that was played was I Will Follow. Just because they have not payed a song in a while does not mean it is crap.

Sounds to me like sour grapes just because we have some fans that are vocal about us. I don't have any issuses with the JT in Boston. They do what they do and there are people that like them. I do think it is misleading to call themselves a tribute band when they are just a cover band.

 

[TheEdge U2JT]

HEY! If you did not see.... U2 played Discotechque last night. Hummmm! There must be a good reason why...hey quest???

 

[Geordie Edge]

There's also a great new U2 Tribute Band in the UK (North East) called NEU2.

 

[TheEdge U2JT]

They're just like the real U2, they play nothing from Zooropa or Pop.

U2 did do Discotechque the other night, I wish they would bring back Dirty Day

 

[TheEdge U2JT]

Do they, the UK band, have a web site.

Hopefully asking this is ok with the "Moderator Mick" since we are talking about another band on this thread.
