U2 played Austin, TX on one leg of every tour that visited the US from Boy ’81 to ZooTV ’92. They’ve only played Austin once since, in 2001.

With Tampa done, we’ll see you in 2 days for U2’s first show in Kentucky since 2001—and first in Louisville since 1982! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

@ladyserena Ah ok. I thought I heard bono say “good vibrations”, like it might have been a Beach Boys reference.

@ladyserena Crazy how bad it was. But I hope you enjoyed: twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
mich40u2 Fist bump on the Larry cam tonight. #u2TheJoshuaTree2017 https://t.co/xOvsfkVZsZ
@azcat92 Yep me too. It was fantastic in that role.
Here is our write-up and the full setlist from Tampa: u2gigs.com/article1179.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Thanks so much to everybody who tried to stream with that frustrating reception! Very, very appreciated. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
There might have been a snippet at the end of Vertigo but with the streams buffering I couldn’t quite tell. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
On tours with an acoustic set mid-show, I’ve wished for this to turn up and make the gimmick worthwhile. twitter.com/EveryBrokenWav…
Bono wishes the crowd goodnight at the end of Vertigo and that’s the end of the concert. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SethVincent @uofleuchreking Hah, yep, January 1987.
21. Vertigo continues its run in the set that began at Bonnaroo #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
20. Elevation #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SethVincent This has been true since about the Elevation Tour!
Here’s your rain snippet: Singin’ in the Rain during Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
The band did not take a second break between One and Beautiful Day. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
19. Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Hear Us Coming is in One. And guess what will be in our database VERY SOON? Yep, Hear Us Coming IS COMING. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@nitebus Bono keeps thinking of a new soundbite and adds it without removing an older one.
@nitebus I should probably change every Vertigo Tour show to say that.
Enunciation of “we don’t agonise, we oooorrrrganise” sounded like somebody parodying Bono, not Bono himself. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
18. Long speech / One (snippet) #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@EveryBrokenWave @SephLiam Oh there you are Matkin! Yeah, I’m counting all the zero dollarydoos I earn working on this site.
@mysteriousdays Yep, the usual: just Bad, no Shine.
@juanj79 Yeah, I’m not a fan, think Please would work better in this spot and make same political point.
17. “A roll call of women we admire” - Ultra Violet #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Bono after snippet of New Colossus: “We have some military people here, we pray safety for you & your families.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Snippet of The New Colossus in Miss Sarajevo as per usual. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@stevo2321 Yep, disappointingly most shows this tour have been 21 songs.
@themadirishman3 Whoops, I wrote the date that it is here in Australia! Thanks.
16. The encore begins with Miss Sarajevo, which has become the new usual encore opener. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
The encore break is prime time for everybody to take out their phones, so we’re probably about to have more shit reception.
The band are now taking their encore break. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
15. Last but not least from the Joshua Tree, it’s Mothers of the Disappeared #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Exit, as per usual, has snippets from Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
14. Everybody’s favourite 50s TV liar, Walter Trump, introduces Exit #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
uofleuchreking @u2gigs 30 years ago..Joshua Tree came out a couple of months before our wedding. For our 30th wedding anniversary…she bought me Tix!
I actually thought One Tree Hill would be dedicated to the Grenfell Tower victims but Pulse makes a lot of sense. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
13. One Tree Hill, dedicated to the victims of the Pulse Nightclub massacre #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
“In 1 second his life was stolen away…tonight I think you’ll understand we want to sing for Orlando, Pulse Nightclub” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono: “This next song will always be attached to a beautiful young man, Greg Carroll, who we met in New Zealand.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
heynowgary The music is already loud and the beer is cold. First show 9.22.87 and now 30 years later I get the entire album…. https://t.co/fh9JJSyDnw
@uofleuchreking I hear you. I keep hoping they’ll play in my hometown Wellington, New Zealand. Last time they were… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
uofleuchreking @u2gigs I have followed U2 since my high school days in the early 80’s. I can not wait to see them live in my hometown in Louisville!
@SephLiam Send us a DM/email if it does and you’d like to contribute anything from a show. :)
Bono before Trip, about harmonicas: “now let me introduce you to an instrument I cannot play”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
12. Trip Through Your Wires #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SephLiam Are you going to any upcoming shows in North America? (We’re already pretty well covered for Europe.)
It’s a good, energetic song from a high profile album. On previous recent tours it would’ve slotted in well early to middle of main set.
I (Ax) am pretty excited to hear In God’s Country in Europe. Always been surprised it’s not a live regular. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
11. In God’s Country #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@SephLiam If you’re good at videos… ;)
Yep, I’m alternating between this and Juliana Borba’s one. Working OK for now, touch wood. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
@SephLiam Nope. You can tell the shows at least one of us is at, because they’re the ones where we have high-quality video afterwards.
And by ninth, I of course meant tenth.
9. Red Hill Mining Town #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I really shouldn’t have bought these Maltesers for my office. Just sitting here chomping on them while I bring you the show.
Another Mixlr over here. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/SilRigote/stat…
9. Running to Stand Still #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
8. Bullet the Blue Sky #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Sigh, no Shine Like Stars. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@racso2099 Fingers crossed!
This Mixlr is working at the moment: mixlr.com/juliana-borba-… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Yeah, I think it would be a cool idea. I described it here, after my shit predictions: u2gigs.com/article1151.ht…… twitter.com/i/web/status/8…
7. With or Without You #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Yeah, it’s been The Whole of the Moon since Bonnaroo. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/dvemre/status/…
6. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For. “These songs belong to you” says Bono #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
California snippet in Streets. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@uofleuchreking Of all the songs they could’ve chosen to rotate in Chicago…! Literally anything else, U2, seriously.
5. Time for the Joshua Tree. I’m sure you’re surprised Streets is starting this performance of the album! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
nitebus hook the people up with some wifi @u2!! Radiohead did it for their fans in Iceland last year! twitter.com/u2gigs/status/…
A friend of mine who’s loved U2 for 25 years is seeing them for the first time tonight. I hope that Bad made the wait worth it.
4. Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
My kingdom for a stream from Tampa that does not buffer. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Snippet of Simon & Garfunkel’s America in Bad. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Here is our main page article with the full setlist live: u2gigs.com/article1179.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
That comment was preceded by a few sentences about cheap heroin in European cities in the 1980s destroying lives. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono is talking at the start of Bad about Guggi’s brother. “He’s far from destroyed, he made it through the fire.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
3. Bad #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
I will never tire of the New Year’s Day solo, but I do wish Bono wouldn’t talk over it. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Another Periscope to take for a spin: pscp.tv/w/1PlJQAyanXBJ… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
2. New Year’s Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
The “fact is fiction, reality TV” lyric change in SBS appears to be permanent for this tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
Try this Periscope: pscp.tv/w/1mnxeEOdZeLx… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
@BeeZee05 Matkin doesn’t seem to be around tonight, so we may be short on song title puns!
atu2 Buffering mixlrs for tonight:
mixlr.com/kaaaaaaaaaaaaa…

#U2TheJoshuaTree2017
1. The audio feeds may not be go, but U2 are. Sunday Bloody Sunday, of course, is first. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30
This Mixlr is buffering like hell for me, uh-oh…
This Mixlr is live! The Whole of the Moon is playing. U2 on soon. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 #JT30 twitter.com/ScoobySnacks22…
This bodes poorly for Mixlrs and Periscopes… twitter.com/bethandbono/st…
Frankly, I (Ax) will do or sign anything to help make A Sort of Homecoming a regular. #ASignofHomecoming twitter.com/bejwebby/statu…
@litofpigs Haven’t seen one yet, will post if I do.
If there’s rain during the band’s actual performance, you can practically guarantee a rain snippet. twitter.com/atu2comSherry/…
