@AntonioMbass @mixlr I think that’s not required. Just wanted to make sure people are not surprised at last minute.
@anandadaydream Fully agree. If you periscope you just do this and nothing else. Streaming audio requires not much attention.
@U2start @mysteriousdays Hey, I was just going to offer something similar :p
@anandadaydream The price for the subscription is ok (paid pro last tour) but people not using it often might not p… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
cvodb Having a chat with Mr Friday, currently in Vancouver, looking after B. and co’s career. Meanwhile, it’s up to me to promote his ;-)
Just spotted this on the @mixlr website: „Mixlr Basic will be discontinued on Wed 17 May 2017” so no free version anymore.
@Tim_Dinnissen Got it now. It’s funny because on the audience recording it sounds more like guitar but on the earfeed you hear it’s Bono.
JKeatingx @U2start @u2gigs @atu2 A few red zone tickets were just released for Vancouver… fans should keep an eye open if they are interested
mysteriousdays .@febottini @u2wanderer One more thing, he also said actual set list is longer than what they have been rehearsing last few days
mysteriousdays Some news for you: @febottini @u2wanderer twitter.com/mysteriousdays…
u2songs Top selling records in Canada on RSD, U2’s “Red Hill Mining Town” was #5 in singles: exclaim.ca/music/article/… (Thanks @paul_lunn81 )
This is what the Red Zone looks like #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 (first it appeared like the FOS to me because of the size… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
This looks like the FOS area #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 twitter.com/u2br/status/86…
@U2_SRNR No, if we don’t count Live Aid. Earliest was at 2nd spot like here: u2gigs.com/show1273.html or on some pre War Tour dates.
The best part of this job is seeing just how unpopular my opinions are among colleagues and fans. twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
Just for the record, I did include it but it doesn’t appear to have saved. I even had a good closing line I’ve now… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
u2songs Info via @mysteriousdays fr. Craig Evans - last rehearsal will be Wed. VIP gift is “special”. Still working on South American tour dates.

I’ll auction it off as the Axver torture device. RT @adammajorcsik: @u2gigs You gotta give it away!! Please :P
(The best part of this job is ribbing Ax)
Uhh, Ax… you forgot to update it after Mothers. I know you don’t like the encore but you shouldn’t erase it from existence!
Here’s our writeup on today’s #JT30 rehearsal action: u2gigs.com/article1157.ht…
@mysteriousdays Thanks for the mixlr earlier! Listen on my commute was fun ???? Matt
On a serious note, one that does not involve any of my shitty opinions about Achtung Baby, it looks like U2 are done rehearsing for today.
I made Ax a CD. Every song was a different In a Little While. I forgot to give it to him…
@ScreamingNino Haha no, though it’s closing in on 5pm in Australia and I’m about to! I’ve been saying this for year… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Matkin can say I’m banned from discussing Achtung Baby, but you know lurking in it is a 5/5 EP: Zoo Stn, UTEOTW, Fly, Acrobat, LIB.
@TheWizardTower Robert Bardo
I (Ax) am very surprised they’ve only rehearsed 21 songs by now. 18 months ago 2nd leg of IE Tour was 25-27 songs…. twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@ScreamingNino Oh you’re going to get furious when I tell you how lowly I rate One…
Ax is now banned from discussing Achtung Baby
15 minutes to curfew
@ScreamingNino Mate, it’s not even a top five U2 album.
Signed,
Ax, of the Unpopular Opinions
@gilson_jr_ Yeah, Out of Control already has a good track record as a strong concert opener.
Quiet on the feed now, after Miss Sarajevo ended. More to come? New song to be rehearsed with sound turned down like prev nights..? Or done?
.@ST_U2 20 anniversary of Sarajevo concert, Bono’s honorary citizenship, nearly 10 years since Pavarotti’s death…
@MarkCDarwin Dirty Day was a triumph live. Deserves another go.
Miss Sarajevo being rehearsed now. Definitely not a song I expected to get another run after its lengthy Vertigo & 360 stints.
Ax may dislike Ultraviolet but Matkin can’t get enough of it!
@gilson_jr_ It needs a couple more songs early on, that’s for sure. Where’s the Boy stuff!
@zooradio1 Just can’t stand it. Barely better than a prophecy of boyband cheese.
Yes, my opinions on Achtung are… not popular.
@MarkCDarwin Love Is Blindness is a song I’m surprised has not been dug out on any recent tour.
It is ALWAYS time to bring back 11 O’clock Tick Tock. twitter.com/MarkCDarwin/st…
Next song is One. This is the “let’s play Achtung songs everybody but Ax loves” part of the rehearsal.
Interesting how many people don’t think SBS is a great choice for opener. I reckon crowd will love it. That drum intro will send place nuts.
U2 now rehearsing Ultra Violet. I know a lot of you love it but I (Ax) will sit this one out. #JT30
Rehearsal of JT is done and the band have moved onto “encore” opener, Beautiful Day. Not much of a break there. #JT30
Mothers of the Disappeared is ending with El Pueblo Vencera.
We’ve got a main page article with the rehearsal set in progress: u2gigs.com/article1157.ht… #JT30
hughstimson Presumably there’s regular concerts at BC Place. U2 is the first act loud enough to hear all the way in #eastvan. Some sound set up.
@AntonioMbass Haha, I’ll take all comers who wish to dispute the superiority of One Tree Hill.
Damn does Exit sound good. How on earth has this not been played in concert since 1989? It’s a live beast.
The band are nearing the end of The Joshua Tree. They’ve run through tracks 1-8 and are now up to the best song on the album, One Tree Hill.
Do I really need to tell you what next 10 songs are? I Still Haven’t Found now. Drums in 1st verse, which hasn’t been done on recent tours.
Forgot to mention, MLK was between ASOH and Pride. #JT30
Rehearsing Streets now. I’m really not sure why they’ve revived the Pride/Streets segue of the Vertigo Tour rather than going ASOH/Streets.
Here’s a stream. U2 are rehearsing Pride now. #JT30 twitter.com/atu2/status/86…
Rehearsals: SBS was followed by NYD, a bit of Bono banter, and A Sort of Homecoming. I’m getting giddy about ASOH, everyone. #JT30
Every song other than BDay and Vertigo has missed at least two gigs. City of Blinding Lights is the one that’s missed just 2.
Beautiful Day looks certain to be played on #JT30. Vertigo not yet rehearsed. Will it miss a gig & leave BDay the only one w/ this record?
Excluding tracks from Songs of Innocence, only two songs have been played at every full tour gig since their debut: Beautiful Day & Vertigo.
Rehearsals in Vancouver have resumed. Taped intro music (maybe The Pogues’ Rainy Night in Soho), then Sunday Bloody Sunday. #JT30
atu2comSherry It dawned on me…is that mysterious balloon the orb of safety to make sure Edge or Bono don’t fall off the stage?… https://t.co/dWeA5lSSKQ
Just reported “intro music” & a little bit of SBS a couple of times, then a more complete SBS. He reckons it’s going to be the opening song.
Good job Ax! Now you can write the article for today too! =D
This is all thanks to jimyc on Interference, who is on the scene.
This was followed by partial Running to Stand Still, end of Pride, a break, more work on end of Pride/start of Streets, full Ultra Violet.
They’ve worked extensively on transition to Pavarotti verse of Miss Sarajevo (over 20mins). Then a full Red Hill Mining Town.
Hey, it’s Ax. I finally get to report on rehearsals. Some reports coming in from Vancouver today; nothing earth-shattering yet.
(Last tweet by Matkin. Thank you for writing it, Jacki).
I encourage everyone to read this article on @atu2. As someone with mental illness, it’s very meaningful to me atu2.com/news/u2-lists-…
