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

[RoKKeR]

That "new song" sounds like Streets to me

It's not.

I don't know what it is, but I'm fairly confident it's not streets.

 

[cobl04]

Knowing my luck they'll play Miss Sarajevo in place of Running to Stand Still.

 

[U2DMfan]

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

This sounds a whole step lower than the album.

Bono should have no trouble hitting the chorus.

 

[miryclayu2]

That would suck.

 

[david]

Yeah I dunno. But this is an exciting time.

 

[miryclayu2]

This sounds a whole step lower than the album.

Bono should have no trouble hitting the chorus.

Nope, rehearsed in 87. Tennessee I believe.

 

[RoKKeR]

Yeah, that high note at the end would be the highest note in the chorus in whatever tuning that is , so he should be fine there.

 

[jimyc]

Larry. Not on board.

I was walking in that exact spot in Coal Harbour earlier this afternoon. Judging by cloud cover I must have just missed him

 

[miryclayu2]

He looks dejected. Sucks to be replaced by Tommy Lee in a band you created.

 

[U2DMfan]

Nope, rehearsed in 87. Tennessee I believe.

I don't understand. What exactly are you disagreeing with?

I just said it was a step lower than the album version.

So instead of Bono hitting high C's, he'll be hitting high A#s.

That's if I'm right. We'll see if someone else that knows how to play Red Hill can confirm it.

Oh, whether it was the first time reheasered or played.

 

[prbiker15]

Looks like they are done rehearsing for the day.

More of that unknown song... I think this is new.

 

[U2DMfan]

Yep. I just checked, When he sings "lights" it is an A#,

It is one whole step lower.

Miryclay,
Sorry, I understand what you meant now. He certainly could sing it back then. Always could.
"Bad" has higher notes and is arguably harder to sing if done properly. I don't get it.

 

[miryclayu2]

Maybe he is just doing ghost vocals.

We need some seashore and some french dudes talking and making a bunch of noise in it to be able to truly decipher.

 

[miryclayu2]

It just doesn't seem right without a picture of an orange Villa in front.

 

[jimyc]

According to a friend who works for the company doing the video production for this tour (texted him during dinner) this was scheduled as a production rehearsal.

So it's likely everything played tonight will be in the setlist.

 

[dan_smee]

Definitely new. Not sure what to make of it yet, but this certainly seems a good sign of:
1. Them playing something new this tour
2. Their confidence in the material
3. Their confidence in the ability to release SOMETHING in short order

Possibly, let's hope so!
Or they were just dicking around and improvised it. I can't get a good listen of it at the moment. Are any lyrics decipherable?

No lyrics, but it seems to be a thoughtfully arranged piece - that is, parts for each instrument are clear, seems to be a possible backing track as well as bass, drums, guitar, and melody doesn't sound like a Bono scat session.

Bono should have no trouble hitting the chorus.

Hopefully the person who posted this has the new song. Audio is a lot clearer!

Surely more clips will surface by tomorrow nights rehearsal

Will they rehearse at BC place every day? Will Bono tax his voice every day like that?

Technically today's rehearsal began in the late afternoon

 

[jimyc]

There is more happening at BC Place tonight......it started again.

 

[jimyc]

In Gods Country - with lights - mostly orange

 

[jimyc]

Trip

 

[RoKKeR]

SPOILERS...they're playing TJT.

 

[dan_smee]

Get you camera ready for a new song jimyc!

They will have days off, and days when they play 50 songs, or as few as 5-6.

 

[dan_smee]

10:30 over there - is there a sound curfew?
