U2 Best Thing acoustic from San Diego youtu.be/4H0yCsY3rCw video by @Chrisedge #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Updated our setlist article with the actual setlist. Someone *cough*Ax*cough* forgot to include the show link in the final summary! Oops!
@James19169882 I hate to break it to you, but you’re wrong.
@markpeterboro @mveernl Haha woops. Corrected!
GnoccoFritto @u2gigs Bad sounded tremendous tonight, maybe the sound was perfect where I was situated in GA. Dunno.
@GnoccoFritto I was referring to the JT album, not MOTD as a song.
@johny_t_777 I laughed heartily! Fingers crossed the Tiges can do this. With the Bombers out I’m so on the Richmond bandwagon.
Here is our report & the full setlist for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 in San Diego, final US show of the tour, MEX next: u2gigs.com/article1230.ht…
@johny_t_777 Well that first quarter delivered!
markpeterboro U2 setlist chart after San Diego #setlistgeek @u2gigs.com https://t.co/e3RnGzs1HD
Bono’s giving his thank-yous as U2 leave stage. And we thank Mixlr people! @rossgperry in particular did a great feed. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
That’s the end of the U2 show—and what a start for Richmond, my word! Two goals in a minute, go Tiges!
Bono shouting tribute to Mexico City over end of One, sings snippet of Drowning Man. “Rise up with wings like eagles.” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
tanya_az2 @u2gigs I’m not big on MotD but I cried so much in Phoenix bc it will be the last time I see JT ever….
@tanya_az2 The racist version is actually not the original. It began as a nonsense rhyme. The racist lyrics are decades younger.
Move over U2, time for footy! Will GWS make their 1st grand final in their 6yr history, or Richmond their first in 37 years? CARN THE TIGES.
22. And here it is, One. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono’s giving a speech about how much he loves America, presumably means One to come… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@TEvansBuhr Not sure what you mean? Our website database has all the snippets…
@Gabevox I don’t like the song whatever way they do it, but that at least didn’t have the 4 songs copy & pasted tog… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
21. Ultra Violet #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono explains the acoustic version of Best Thing is “because the beautiful woman who inspired it is here tonight”. Wanted to sing to her.
I don’t normally like U2’s acoustic versions of anything. But this sounds way more coherent than the electric version! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
When the show began I was definitely not expecting an acoustic Best Thing. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Before Bono sang the first line of The Best Thing, I was about to tweet “what the fuck is this?” This is mellow. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
20. You’re the Best Thing About Me, played in a noticeably different style to previous performances #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Vertigo has a snippet of Rebel Rebel at the end. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
19, Vertigo #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
18. Elevation #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono just snippeted Heathens by Twenty One Pilots during Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
17. Beautiful Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Shout-out to George Clooney. Then quotes from past presidents over PA. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Miss Sarajevo has the snippet of The New Colossus that Bono did earlier on the tour. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
16. We’ve got Miss Sarajevo again, just the second time this leg. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Arthur Fogel of Live Nation was another person who got named. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
“Thank you for listening to the Joshua Tree album,” says Bono. He thanks Corbijn, Oseary, Beck, U2 crew, others. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I got the backend to play ball again, so the mainpage article again has the full set so far: u2gigs.com/article1230.ht… #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
15. Mothers of the Disappeared to close the 27th & last full perf of this album in the US, which inspired much of it #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Exit has its usual snippets, Wise Blood and Eeny Meeny Miny Moe #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
14. Here’s the last outing of the Walter Trump intro in the US. It’s time for Exit. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
I will never ever tire of One Tree Hill live, what a song, what an emotional experience. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Shout-out to my fellow Kiwis here. You’ve got just over an hour to vote if you haven’t yet; get your arse down to a polling booth now!
13. Maungakiekie #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
12. Trip Through Your UF Track Threes. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono gives usual “the Irish have been coming to the US for hundreds of years” speech; “we were the original Dreamers”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
mysteriousdays In God’s Country! I waited 30 years to hear this song live! 30 years! #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Spanish Eyes is legit in my top 15 U2 songs.
Ranking the JT b-sides best to worst:
Spanish Eyes
Luminous Times
Silver & Gold
Deep in the Heart
Walk to the Water
SThing
Race Against Time
11. In God’s Country. Bono: “we have to stay awake to dream, do we not?” #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@PerryGPapa At one show I got so distracted by the woman in the centre of the video blinking that I started counting them. Lost track at 30.
OK, sorry, our whole site is running very slowly, I’m not sure what the problem is; that’s Matt’s expertise. But I’ll keep updating here!
10. Ochre Hill Mining Town. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@mysteriousdays @U2start No kidding. The lovers thing makes me cringe. It’s not even in tune with the song’s conflicted theme.
I’d love to update the full set on the mainpage but our backend is shitting the bed right now. Hopefully sorted soon. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
9. These puns are Running to Stand Still. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Snippets of War and America (West Side Story) in Bullet. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Sounded like Bono said “Edge, for Jacknife, take us there” before Bullet’s first solo. Did I mishear? Reference to Jacknife Lee?
Starting to think I should leave the pun game to Matkin after all.
8. Bullet the Blues Pie. No, I don’t know what this pun is about either. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
7. I woodn’t normally make this pun, but With or Without Yew. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
6. I Still Haven’t Found the Funny Joke I’m Looking For #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@gilson_jr_ I still think I’ve got one over Matkin with my old “bong for someone” pun.
Snippet of California in Streets. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Bono gives a shoutout to the “619 community”, using San Diego’s area code. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
5. Where the Tweets Are So Lame #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
They could not take your pide (in the name of labne). #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
4. Pride #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Nice little callback by Bono to a great EP: “we’re not sleeping, we’re wide awake in America”. Then snippet of America #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
He thanks everyone for coming, whether they crossed the street, the city, the state—or the border.
Bono: “thank you for coming out to see us on this Indian summer evening”. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
3. Bad #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Here’s our mainpage article with the full live set for #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 in San Diego: u2gigs.com/article1230.ht…
LissywitchPhoto @u2gigs @rossgperry @SilRigote travelswithzoob is on Mixlr mixlr.com/travelswithzoob
@gilson_jr_ Especially since they ARE doing IWF! I was certain OOC would be in the mix.
Bono says thank you and goodbye to Beck and his band, tonight being their last support slot for U2. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
2. New Year’s Day #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
1. Sunday Bloody Sunday opens the 27th and last US show of the #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
FINALLY. It’s practically 9:40pm in San Diego and The Whole of the Moon is playing. U2 in a few minutes with SBS. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
@gilson_jr_ @nbelcik @atu2 @U2start Have you seen this from @u2songs? u2songs.com/news/the_cryst…

@tanya_az2 @EdithDourleijn Often just refreshing the page will do the trick.
@jorgeftakeda @ultravioletu2 I know that feeling… European shows are brutal to cover from Australia.
@tanya_az2 @EdithDourleijn It’s working for me.
@PerryGPapa Could NYD possibly be second…!
Well while we wait for the band, I’m cracking open a beer. It’s a sunny Saturday arvo here in Wollongong. Cheers, prost, živjeli, sláinte.
EdithDourleijn @u2gigs There’s something going on in GA. Don’t know what, see few security guys. Seems to be resolved now, they’re just leaving.

@PerryGPapa Will Streets have an almost imperceptible grab from California?! STAY TUUUNED.
@SallieAnnG CARN THE TIIIIIGES!

nbelcik @atu2 Spotted at the show #U2JoshuaTreeTour2017 @u2gigs @U2start @atu2 https://t.co/z8DRq8RfM2
Come on U2, hurry up and start. I don’t want the end of the show running past the first bounce of Richmond vs GWS!
I thought I’d cocked up timezones and missed the start of the show, but U2 are yet to begin in San Diego. Soon! Soooon. #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Hope you’ve all had the opportunity to read this great overview of the most recent rumours re: U2’s album and tour… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
@DWilbur3 San Diego County Credit Union. I can see why they’re not using their full name for the stadium name - bit of a mouthful!
Z00STATI0N I did a @U2 related thing and it’s real dumb but this would be so awesome (it would never happen) https://t.co/cZ8lLKGRqn
Been following the saga of my favourite F1 statistician @virtualstatman as he tried to get his tickets to San Diego. They made it!
@virtualstatman @jonfl Hope you find it useful, mate! ;-)
WE LOST!
cfbuckster @u2gigs Will always be Jack Murphy Stadium to me https://t.co/z2ZLuiuMEd
Note: when today’s show was announced, the stadium was called Qualcomm. It’s now SDCCU Stadium, and our database is updated to reflect this.
NZ has election blackout laws—but since I’m in Australia and not subject to them: if you’re yet to vote, please vote & vote Labour or Green.
I normally shy away from politics on this account unless it pertains to U2 because that’s not what you’re here for, but indulge me this one:
Yep, I’ll be covering the show - and watching the AFL prelim final between Richmond & GWS, and following the NZ ele… twitter.com/i/web/status/9…
