They did it in 1987 and 1997 too.
note the differences in the set lists between Vegas and Foxborough in 1997. they certainly learned what they could and could not do in a stadium in 1997.
they also only came out and played a
series of songs in a row from the very beginning from Achtung Baby. they didn't do that with Joshua Tree.
