Told ya so, Ax! Matkin.

@lynne_gow Me too! It’s why I got a little worked up about it today, heh. -Ax
@pappy90 It’s there now! I’m going to get shit either way, but I think I’ll get less shit by including it than not!
@adammajorcsik They had no problem doing back-to-back 24-26 song sets on IE just 18 months ago, which makes this st… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@sethckal I’m guessing Pearl Jam and The Cure fans also live happily without it!
@markpeterboro Me too. I am now starting to think Matkin was right to include it initially. Think I’ll slide it back into the listing.
@Opti_maX Ahahaha DO NOT EVEN START! -Ax
Upshot: 360 & IE tours, every show had 22+ songs, as did almost every Vertigo show (one had 20, a few 21). Today’s 21-song set an anomaly.
And the last U2 show with less than 20 songs? That was 2nd-last gig of Elevation, 1 December 2001, with 19 songs: u2gigs.com/show1217.html
The last time they did LESS than 21 was on 14 September 2005, when they played just 20 (after 24 the prev gig!): u2gigs.com/show1316.html
The last time U2 played a show with no more than 21 songs in the setlist was 24 November 2006, Auckland:… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
OK this is a v marginal call. I (Ax) feel it counts. Bono speak-sings “shine like stars in the summer night/shine l… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@Opti_maX They can’t open with Streets. It’s too light outside to do that unless stadium has a roof. They need to wait for darkness.
Setlist LA2. Some changes for sure! Thanks to @nunomoreira1 #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #RoseBowl https://t.co/lwq5gr20LC
@4RingsU2 Yeah, 18 months ago they were routinely playing 24 to 26 songs. I don’t get why this year has shorter set… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@harrykantas @U2 @U2Community @u2songs Submit us some shots on the website if you want. Matt
@SilRigote Gonna miss your singing, Sil. Thanks for streaming all this time.
Tonight’s show featured no variation from the printed setlist. ASOH drop and only 21 songs was intentional. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@johnnyo217 @TheeEdge And Bruce Springsteen is older - look how long he plays! 18mo ago U2 were playing 25-26 songs… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Let us all hope that tonight is the only night of tour without A Sort of Homecoming, a fan favourite that has gone down v well at prev gigs.
Here is the full setlist and our writeup for the second Rose Bowl show: u2gigs.com/article1167.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30

Thanks everyone for joining us tonight. Thanks Sil and JZCanuck for Mixlr and everyone else who tried on Periscope. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
bethandbono BEST performance of TLTTGYA. People in crowd are singing it after band is done. They’re onto something…. https://t.co/80sEv0zQ7H
Next up for U2? Jimmy Kimmel’s show on Tuesday. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
So the only really new thing is one song (ASOH) was dropped. The others just played in a different order. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
House music is playing so no more from U2 tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Setlist order altered a bit, but only 21 songs total. Easily time for 2 more. A shame, that. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Seems to be over. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@febottini Still about 10 minutes away I think.
@johnnyo217 @TheeEdge Agreed. Really should be doing 24-25 songs. -Ax
@codeis12345 Except for the part where both have got massive crowd reactions this tour. Been pleasantly surprised h… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
And if it is followed by I Will Follow again, I will dare say that ASOH was dropped for IWF. Hopefully not permanent #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
If this is indeed the last song, this will be the shortest set so far this tour at 21 songs #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Little Things is next. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono is thanking the crew, and thanks “Gavin Friday, my mate from Cedarwood Road”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
“One more!” Bono says. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
OK guys, please, A Sort of Homecoming? For me, Ax? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
One has the Hear Us Coming verse. Becoming a regular this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Hear Us Coming at the end. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
bethandbono HIV is on the run “unless this president screws it up.” Bono not mincing words. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
That was the most direct Trump reference so far this tour, but Bono has not yet mentioned his name directly. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
One will follow #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Usual speech about social movements suggests One is next. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Ultraviolet has never been played in the main set. It has only ever appeared in the encore. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Matkin is right. Elevation on #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 has been later than any prev tour, except last night 17th equal… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Ultraviolet #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I’m tempted to say this is the latest Elevation has ever been played. Ax? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Elevation is next #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Beautiful Day has the City of Stars snippet like last night. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I do like how Beautiful Day’s intro has… I think it is the Oakenfeld remix? Reminds me of Lemon on PopMart. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I’ll claim this one for my predictive powers. -Ax twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
Beautiful Day is next, opening the second encore #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Guessing Beautiful Day to open a second encore? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
U2 have left the stage again. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono thanks the crowd for giving U2 a great life at the end of Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Well that was the best Bad of the tour so far. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
ClaytonsKitten @u2gigs I’ll be up in a few hours. Getting maybe 6 hrs sleep total over the last two days. Ah, what we do for our band. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
More snippetry of S&G’s America. Strange that no other song has been snippeted in Bad yet this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I’m glad tomorrow is a holiday here in Canada… No need to get up early after two late nights! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@MekVox It actually started earlier than last night.
@markpeterboro Imagine if you’d been doing this on Lovetown! Might’ve had to resort to alphabetical listing of songs.
It’s amazing how excited we get just from a shuffling of the order. Nothing new yet tonight! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bad begins with snippet of Simon & Garfunkel’s America. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
BAD! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
What will be next? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Miss Sarajevo has snippet of The New Colossus, which I suspect will remain the norm at US gigs. “Give me your tired…” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
bethandbono Bono glasses are still off. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Lots of people on here have said that Miss Sarajevo at the end really kills the show. This placement makes more sense. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Stats on setlist placement of Mothers & With or Without You are in our live setlist article: u2gigs.com/article1167.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
And it is being done on the other stage this time I hear Sil say over Mixlr. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Woah, Miss Sarajevo opens the encore. I (Ax) did NOT expect this. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Wait, are they going into Miss Sarajevo already? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
So only 14 songs before the encore today. Interesting… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono on the Joshua Tree: “They’re more your songs than our songs now.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
No El Pueblo Vencera tonight, or did I miss it? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
It is. 1st performances this tour were 16th, equal with a 1987 performance. Last night and tonight are earliest eve… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Hey Ax, is this the earliest MOTD has appeared in concert? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Matkin’s favourite from The Joshua Tree next: Mothers of the Disappeared #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
As usual, Bono recites Eeny Meeny Miny Moe after the Wise Blood snippet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono snippeting from Flannery O’Connor’s novel Wise Blood in Exit: “Where you come from is gone…” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
That video before Exit is from 1950s TV show Trackdown, of a conman called Walter Trump. Amazing find. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@gilson_jr_ Yeah crowds seem to be really digging it. My mate’s determined to make me enjoy it at London 1. We’ll see…!
Exit. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Powerful ending to One Tree Hill tonight. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@TalkTonight27 @U2start Think they’ve usually been allocated about 50 minutes.
@gilson_jr_ Must be honest, it’s the one I (Ax) don’t care to hear. But it’s sounding better live than the studio v… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@MrMattLaTorre @tawny_cat Especially since the same guitar part is in Vertigo.
The indigenous people shown in the film for One Tree Hill, by the way, are Navajo, Sac & Fox, and—appropriately—Māori. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono calls Chris Cornell “brilliant and beautiful”. One Tree Hill, “anybody who’s lost somebody, this song’s for you”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
“Anybody who’s lost someone, this song is for you.” - Bono #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
One Tree Hill is next up. Dedicated to Chris Cornell. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
“Where’s The Edge’s Missus gone?” - Bono
Yep, this is what I’m using at the moment, been stable for much longer than the Mixlrs. Hope this doesn’t jinx it!… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@U2Gigs @atu2comSherry I’m just too deferential to argue with ya, Ax!
@atu2comSherry Wish I’d heard it. But the way people describe it make me think the sensible thing for now is to lea… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
11. Trip Through A Sort of Homecoming’s Wires #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@atu2comSherry I (Ax) really hate these iffy ones. No matter what call I make (and usually on this site it falls to… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Ax would kill me if I tried that! RT @tawny_cat: @u2gigs Can they snippet the same song within itself? ????
Bono before In God’s Country: “welcome to side 2. The next song is about the landscape about this beautiful country.”
In Homecoming Country. “Welcome to side 2” Bono says. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
In case it wasn’t clear earlier, I (Ax) have removed Shine Like Stars from set until I can hear it. Then I’ll weigh into debate.
@Opti_maX @atu2comSherry I’ve removed it for now. I need to hear it first (my stream cut at crucial moment). -Ax
@Opti_maX Yeah we’ve always taken a lenient approach with those two, and El Pueblo Vencera. More info is more.
@gilson_jr_ I’m not the one making these jokes, it’s Matkin!
bethandbono They sound amazing tonight. Have an energy and confidence they didn’t have last night. Crowd is on, too. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
9. Red Homecoming Mining Town #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
It’s how I’m teasing you tonight Ax. Just wait until Miss Sarajevo…
I (Ax) also wonder just how much longer Matkin can keep rubbing in ASOH when introducing the other songs…
markpeterboro This to me says that the Stars snippet does count #Starsgate @u2gigs twitter.com/mocausley/stat…
Matkin can suggest I’m as authoritarian as he likes, and I’ll enjoy it, but I know I am only on this site by the gr… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Eighth on the night: Running to A Sort of Homecoming #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
He’s varied lyrics before on “shine like stars”, and couple of times just sung the first line before cutting it off… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
A lot of people saying not to count Stars. Alas, we are not a democracy. We are an Axtatorship. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
.@TheeEdge A good question! Ax?
My (Ax) stream cut so I didn’t hear Bono say “shine like stars”. I’d like to hear it first before deciding whether it counts.
Just wait until we get to Miss Sarajevo… RT @Naomi_U2Sydney: @u2gigs Haha. Don’t be bitter ????
Touche! XD RT @Opti_maX: @u2gigs Well according to this, you should: u2gigs.com/faq-4-Setlists…
Actually, Bono didn’t sing it but he did say it! Should I count it? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bullet A Sort of Homecoming is next #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
No Stars.
@AntonioMbass Adam accidentally starts playing WOWY instead of ISHFWILF. Bono sighs and goes with it.
AntonioMbass @u2gigs Stat: Adam has now started wowy correctly for 2 consecutive shows.
@tawny_cat London 1&2, and Berlin. ASOH better stick around until then!
mixlr.com/jzcanuck/ #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 RT @LetMeShineNow: @u2gigs send a mixlr thingy so I can hear, please
This is the 2nd-earliest With or Without You has ever been played at a show. It was 5th once: u2gigs.com/show940.html #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@Opti_maX And Elevation.
Bono asks “how’s that?” Everybody is meant to yell back “good but A SORT OF HOMECOMING MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER!” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Next up: With or Without A Sort of Homecoming #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
ISHF has been played about 150 times less than With or Without You, and 105 less than Bullet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Ax Still Hasn’t Found A Sort Of Homecoming #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
ISHF follows Streets of course. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
markpeterboro 4 songs in and we are already on Streets. I reckon that Ali is in the house and Bono is ‘on a promise’ ;-) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
California snippet, the 86th time that song has appeared in concert. 79 of those are snippets. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
California (There Is No End to Love) snippet in Streets. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
“Irish rain” seems to be a permanent lyric change this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@teacheronradio @tawny_cat Yes, about 15 minutes earlier on stage tonight. I think curfew is earlier tonight.
Here is our mainpage article with the full setlist updated live, by the way: u2gigs.com/article1167.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
U2 I WILL HAVE VERY STERN WORDS WITH YOU IF A SORT OF HOMECOMING DOES NOT SHOW UP LATER. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
U2 are into the Tree already as Streets begins. Earliest performance this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
A-Ax, what are you doing with that, um, axe? W-wait, I wasn’t being serious, I didn’t think they’d actually drop-
GYAAAAHHH
…
Have a guess which of our previous tweets about ASOH was by Matkin, and which *cough*allcaps*cough* was by Ax.
WHERE IS A SORT OF HOMECOMING. DON’T DO THIS TO MY HEART, U2. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Straight into Pride third! Shit, was I right? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
As of yesterday, U2 have sung the “golden age” verse more often than the US Mix 1st verse. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Did you know that the second-ever performance went straight from the intro into Edge’s solo? It was quite short! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Menacing Day is second. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
johnnyo217 @u2gigs Vertigo for Elevation is my bet
AntonioMbass @u2gigs It has a whole other tour under its belt so it’s actually kinda interesting that it’s just passing Vertigo now.
Very keen to see if there are many changes from last night. Little Things is likely to return. Will MLK come back? #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Even I know these are the boring stats, Ax!
Though with this being the second concert in this venue, I wonder if U2 will swap out ASOH tonight. I think that’s most likely of pre-tree
Matkin is really on a stats roll today! I (Ax) am just eating a roll for lunch. Main page article to come once I’m no longer hungry!
Oh, and SBS opens #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
RHMT tonight will equal The Troubles, Window in the Skies, Silver Lining, and Babyface #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Looks like it’s showtime! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 twitter.com/tawny_cat/stat…

ASOH passed Kite and will equal Magnificent tonight #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Also Exit passed Discotheque last night and will equal Crazy Tonight today #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
MLK also broke free of Desire (316-314). In God’s Country is currently tied with Please (118) and will draw level with New York tonight
Ultraviolet passed Seconds and Miss Sarajevo has more performances than Love Is Blindness #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I (Ax) estimate this was actually the 906th time once you account for missing setlists. I Will Follow, by the way,… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
Elevation has also passed Vertigo on number of times played (396 to 393) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Did I just hear COBL chords on sil’s mixlr?
I think we missed this at the time, but the performance in Santa Clara was the 900th known time that Pride was played. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@the6_YYZ_4ever We prepare most stats ahead of time based on leaked setlists and expected songs played.
