on adam's valentine's day instagram post, inside the studio there was a clear setlist on the wall showing JT in order along with a few other tracks. they're obviously working on these songs inside the studio somehow.
i'm not suggesting that they're working out stage positioning for streets or that bono is practicing jumping around on a mini-catwalk or anything like that. but i can say from partial experience when you haven't played a song like exit for almost 30 years you effectively have to re-learn it from scratch, in u2's case this is multiplied by four. that takes a long time and having another person there who's talent and work they clearly trust and respect to help them work on the arrangement and the sound is an obvious benefit.
it seems like people in this thread are convinced that they are either working on SOE or rehearsing for the tour, but they can't be doing both so therefore tedder = SOE. i'm saying that's not true, what's stopping them from working on trip through your wires a few times in the morning and then working on a new track for the rest of the day. i'm sure they're paying ryan tedder just the same anyways so i don't see how he would mind working with his friends on something like this all that much. it's not like U2 is on working on a restricted studio budget so i doubt his hourly rate is that much of a concern
