The Joshua Tree Tour 2019 - Show & Setlist Discussion

[tommycharles]

Maybe they’ll sub that in for Angel of Harlem at some point. Hope they do because the song is amazing, I was also at the three R&H song LA I+e show, and it was a highlight.

The 90s/00s section should definitely be shortened to add a good R&H section. Imagine if after MOTD they played

-Angel
-Desire
-WLCTT
-ALWIY

...then off stage, then they can do BD/EBW/UV/Love is Bigger/One to end.

Is this wanker really wearing that oversized top hat again?

Finally got to see some videos from TJT “reincarnated”. Happy that Love is Bigger made the cut, and the Elevation / Vertigo / EBTTRT sequence from e+i works great opening the encore.

Would like to see AIWIY instead of Angel of Harlem after Mothers of the Disappeared, we shall see if that slot develops as the tour continues.

bono should really give it up, stop with the top hat. but i'm sure the aussies don't mind too much because U2 won't come around there no more.

No guarantees that they'll keep One as the closer. It wasn't rehearsed openly, and had a specific dedication / video for New Zealand. I suspect / hope this will let them add a song after Angel of Harlem, which is all by its lonesome between JT and the encore break.

More like the LOLtown tour, amirite??



Must be REALLY popular in Los Angeles because we got to hear All I Want Is You, When Love Comes to Town, and Angel of Harlem all in one show. In fact, it looks like most of the i+e shows in 2015 had 2 songs from R&H.

They also played 3 R&H tracks at the Apollo Theatre show last year.

So much for the band being aware of that local popularity we keep hearing about.

Ok. [emoji106]

1 sleep! 9 years has gone so fast. Such great songs but EBTTRT and Ultraviolet, heaven.. who’s off to Brisbane tomorrow?

Not a good day for a show. Countless people in NSW / QLD affected by fires. Stay safe everyone.

Adam is the only one still in possession of his real hair.

Larry looks 18 years old again [emoji2]

Hello Brisbane?

 

[cobl04]

Yeah gday the stadiums here are rectangle lol????

 

[cobl04]

I hope they talk about the fires. I’m sure they will

Noel has hotter people in his band than U2 by far

Enjoying Noel? His new stuff is a massive troll on oasis fans, and I fucking love it

 

[cobl04]

Very impressed! Not a big Oasis fan. He said “the first part of the night is for me, the rest is for you”. I thought it was all quite good, the new stuff

 

[dan_smee]

This is the place and Evil flower (he won’t have played that) are absolute jams.

 

[dan_smee]

Nice shoutout to the firies during bad.

 

[lazarus]

Because of your typo it's hard to know if Bono did a shout-out to the fires, or fries.

Either is possible, really.

 

[dan_smee]

There is no typo

 

[kabigon]

This show eclipsed JT30 Rose Bowl 1 for mine. Crowd and band energy right up there. And this is despite it being the same setlist as Auckland 1. Caught me off guard.

Larry looks like a 50+ year old trying to look 18.

Which kinda sums up the past 5 years of U2, doesn't it?

Either is possible, really.

I'd like to play a song for a person who is very near and dear to my heart - someone who has been very instrumental in my life of late.

This is Song for Someone. This is for you, Grimace.
