**POSSIBLE SPOILERS** The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 Rehearsal Thread

Doesn't fit IMHO.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

How do we know what fits and what doesn't fit when we don't know the set?

Did anyone say before i/e "hey, ya know I really think Raised By Wolves into Until The End Of The World would be an epic transition"?

 

[miryclayu2]

That's cuz we are an all knowing U2 fan God.

 

[TyTy1124]

Wow, Ms. Sarajevo is now listed on atu2. That's something I never thought would make it onto this tour.

 

[miryclayu2]

It won't cuz it doesn't fit.

 

[superchuk5]

Just a thought, but I could easily see someone mistaking Running to Stand Still for Miss Sarajevo if it was piano only. Especially if (as someone mentioned earlier) the audio isn't that loud.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It won't cuz it doesn't fit.

Oh ok I guess it's official then.

Miss Sarajevo, not on board.

 

[TheGeekyU2Fan]

MS really doesn't fit into this setlist.
I hope it doesn't.

 

[prbiker15]

It won't cuz it doesn't fit.

Oh they'll try to make it fit. Just like Ordinary Love.

 

[miryclayu2]

Anyone else sense watered down 360 GH?

 

[miryclayu2]

MS really doesn't fit into this setlist.
I hope it doesn't.

I veteoed it at a meeting. Long filibuster but who wants to see a holagram of an overweight Italian guy.

 

[prbiker15]

Don't give Willie any ideas!

 

[miryclayu2]

I suppose a pop up balloon opera singer could sing then explode and then spew confetti on the fans.

 

[miryclayu2]

That hasn't been done.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Maybe they'll have videos of fans singing Pavarotti part while walking their dog

 

[superchuk5]

uhhhhhhhhhhh before we all freak out can someone confirm this isn't an old song? The audio isn't good but nothing comes to mind.

this video came from a tweet at u2gigs.

Also, there's video of Red Hill and SBS

So we've had the most interesting dinner music tonight. Sitting down to dinner and we opened the windows and the volume level from BC Place rose just in time. This is so cool. U2 is playing live while we eat dinner

 

[RoKKeR]

You know the setlist already?

 

[prbiker15]

Any more reports?

For a second I thought maybe it was Homecoming, but it's not. Then I thought maybe Mercy, but nah don't think it's that either.

I really can't place it. Might just be new. Anyone else?

 

[jimyc]

Any more reports?

It's been quiet for about ten minutes. They did run through a full version NYD near the end.

The closest thing to me would be Mercy, yeah, but I don't think that's it. It sounds like there is maybe some ethereal synth stuff happening on top of everything? Really don't know, but I like it.

Would be so pleased to see them playing something new on this tour.

If it's not new...

Bares some possible structural similarities to Exit, if played tuned down half step.

This assumes my guitar is in standard tuning right now, it might not be. Haven't played it in a week. This goes D# down to C# then G# (Edge's harmonics might be G# there) to F#.

Not saying super close, but similar especially if a re-imagined part of the song. In other words, this might be some kind of reworked outro to Exit. Think: a different kind of section rather than the Gloria section. Hell, might even be a snippet of something else they're working on tagging Exit with.

Or it's just new altogether.

 

[superchuk5]

Here's some Red Hill (first ever?):

 

[U2DMfan]

I only listened to it maybe three times. So don't get your pitchforks out on me, guys. Just a guess.

That is very interesting.

 

[superchuk5]

atu2 has updated their page, listing "unknown song"

if true, kudos to the band for considering something new on what I fully expected to be a "play it safe" tour

 

[cobl04]

That "new song" sounds like Streets to me

 

[miryclayu2]

I can't recognize it. But I may have been triggered by reading about MS Sarajevo.

 

[Mack_Again]

Just play Hawkmoon already dammit
