Rumour is on Monday they will announce a Joshua Tree Tour for Australia, New Zealand, Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore.

This doesn't really make sense.

It’s the shortcut to filling up stadiums, and they probably want to spend the least time possible dealing with staging and setlists.

If this means we get a ZooTV 30 tour in a few years, I don't mind it.

Wow, when's the last time a Shuttlecock thread went two months without a reply?

Every time I log into this forum, I half expect it to have been shutdown since my last visit.

it must be hard living with such frequent disappointment

The live version of A Sort of Homecoming off Wide Awake In America is still one of my favorite things ever.
I hope our Aussie friends get it at their shows later this year.

TUF was such a great era

Y’all are weird. This forum is still very active for a web forum

elevated_u2_fan · 05-21-2019, 09:44 AM

I already said this in EYKIW but they are totally going to soundcheck something amazing like Hawkmoon and not preform it at all or preform it twice and then drop it for SFS.

DaveC · 05-21-2019, 09:46 AM

y'all know their "tribute to lovetown" is going to be them playing desire at every show, right?

elevated_u2_fan · 05-21-2019, 09:50 AM

acoustic Desire.

DaveC · 05-21-2019, 10:57 AM

"tonight we'd like to change things up a little - we've heard how much you aussies loved the lovetown tour, and we've been playing desire all tour but tonight we thought we'd go way out of the box and give you fans a special, rare treat. this is angel of harlem!"

We know you Aussies love your lovetown, so here's In A Little While with a 10 second coda of All I Want Is You shoehorned to the end before we go into Stuck In A Fucking Moment.

Edge?

“We had a great time touring after Rattle & Hum and playing those songs here during the Lovetown tour. But it’s not the only time we tried to recapture some of that classic rock and soul sound. This is In A Little While.”

(also plays Stuck)

ETA: literally just posted same sentiment as Headache

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 05-21-2019, 12:06 PM

Great idea Colin Copypants

Hewson · 05-21-2019, 12:09 PM

Two minds too small for two thoughts.

Hewson · 05-21-2019, 06:28 PM

Does it make me a bad person if I get a text from someone saying they just left the hospital after being diagnosed with vertigo and my reply is a link to the Youtube video of U2's Vertigo?

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 05-21-2019, 06:36 PM

Yes
