U2's Louisville setlist, 16/06/17
Today U2 performed in Louisville, Kentucky. This was the last date announced for the first leg of the tour. This was only their fourth concert in the state, and their first stadium performance there. The last time U2 played Kentucky was 16 years ago on the first leg of the Elevation tour with a single date in Lexington. They also visited the state on the original Joshua Tree tour, again in Lexington, and so this is only their second time playing Louisville. The first occasion? Over 35 years ago when they visited on the October tour in March 1982!
I Will Follow was the only song played in the state on every previous visit, but this streak was broken tonight. During With or Without You, Bono brought a fan onstage for the first time this time. Trip Through Your Wires reached a milestone tonight with the 100th performance of the song. One Tree Hill was dedicated to Republican congressman Steve Scalise who was critically injured in a shooting in Virginia. Bono also paid tribute to Gabby Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly, who were in the audience tonight, before the song. Ultraviolet was dedicated to the memory of Jo Cox.
