Vancouver Setlist Party (OPENING NIGHT!)

[higher ground]

Did Exit melt faces off?

Yes sir it did!

 

[superchuk5]

I dont think they should mix up the album order after hearing it tonight - purely excellent.

It really works. No breaks between songs is critical.

I withdraw any and all concerns I had about U2 doing a "nostalgia" tour. This sounds incredible.

 

[RioRhodes]

What song did they transition from B stage the main? I lost Video feed then. Did anyone catch that.

I know they start JT from B stage, but moved up during one of the first 3 songs I think.

From what I could see, they did B Stage, then went on the main stage for all of JT. Did I not see that right?

This whole thing is really special. And - critically - how fresh everything after Bullet sounds completely solves the how front-loaded the album is.

El Pueblo Vencera...

That is correct. They walked to the main stage after Pride. During the intro of Streets

Vindication for all of us that clamored for Exit for so long. Balls out.

Mothers is lovely...I'm still thinking of Exit

Fully agree superchuk

I agree for now, but I'm eager to hear what fans that are there have to say about the sea of non-hits that is everything after track 3 of JT. And I'm curious to see it for myself. We all know and love these songs, but I'm curious how into it the audience actually is.

 

[Martinski]

Exit sounded incredible from that instagram clip

This is gonna be so great at Metlife!

 

[miryclayu2]

So the Tree Stage is the name for the stage appendix?

 

[prbiker15]

And that's how you play The Joshua Tree - from beginning to end. Great job boys!

I don't feel the same way - when I'm there, I know how much I'm going to enjoy the sequence. Not fussed by what others think.

 

[allbecauseofu2]

Well some songs like bullet or rtss have a live reputation. A casual fan might know them.

 

[RioRhodes]

Agh I have no visuals! Wanna see if they carry the rest out from the B stage.

 

[higher ground]

Love for my band...

 

[superchuk5]

They better not change it up. It really works as a live song suite.

 

[Martinski]

Sound seems to be fuckin great as well.

 

[dan_smee]

25 million people bought this album. Lots of people will know all the songs.

 

[akann]

Can you believe they sat on this monster of a song for 27 years? Criminal.

Total madness to leave this out. Never thought I would see a song top Streets live, but I just did.

 

[gozags]

The order God intended

 

[RioRhodes]

I don't feel the same way - when I'm there, I know how much I'm going to enjoy the sequence. Not fussed by what others think.

I guess because I work in live music, I'm always considering how every fan at the show feels. The show is 95% or more casual fans. You gotta consider them in the process.

 

[Yahweh]

You don't think everybody in that stadium owns a copy of The Joshua Tree? If a person has one U2 album that's the one.

 

[U2DMfan]

And that's how you play The Joshua Tree - from beginning to end. Great job boys!

Agree.

Other suggestions were silly anyway

I was going to say... a lot more people than the few hundred people that post on this forum have heard a lot of this album at some point. It's not exactly an unknown commodity.

 

[RioRhodes]

You don't think everybody in that stadium owns a copy of The Joshua Tree? If a person has one U2 album that's the one.

That means nothing. I have plenty of albums that I don't know more than one or two songs off of.

Everyone in the world has SOI, didn't mean shit.

Save​

Okay, so here we go for encore Ladies and Gents
