Joshua Tree Tour 2019
Legs (1): New Zealand, Australia and Asia
Shows: 15
  1. Originally posted by Sydney_MIke:This may be an unpopular view but I would prefer they didn't play JT sequentially. One of their strengths is how they seamlessly transition from one song to another and that was missing from the show I saw in 2017. The pauses between songs felt clunky. Sure, play all 11 songs but spread them across the entire show.
    I don’t think it’s a particularly unpopular view, probably people are mixed about them playing it sequentially, I wasn’t fussed before I seen it but then after witnessing it I was glad they played it in order because it was like you were going on a journey during the show, you knew what was coming next but that just made the excitement build, while I was getting into RTSS the anticipation was building about hearing RHMT next and pretty much all the way through side 2 of TJT it was the same feeling.
    Of course that’s only an opinion, the question is realistically what will the band chose to do, I think they’ll stick to the same structure as 2017.

  9. I like the idea of Love is Bigger as a closer. Though everyone who posted after you seems to have it in that next to last slot. Which admittedly worked brilliantly on e+i.

    Hmm, what if it was the last song before the encore break? Would that work, to have the crowd sing the band off stage? Or would too many people in the audience clap instead (or cheer or whatever), as is traditional with an encore break, and thus kinda ruin it?
  10. Any radio hints today?
  11. I see people are split about the inclusion of Acrobat.

    Personally, if I were making the setlist, of course I'd include it, as it was one of the highlights of e+i last year.

    But I can see a strong argument for saving it for a possible Achtung Baby 30 tour.

    Of course, that's assuming, that IF such a tour were to happen, that Australia/Asia would even get it.



    Can't imagine they'd give setlist hints on the radio this far out.
  12. I was talking about the announcement hints
