U2 Joshua Tree Tour 2017 / 2019 No Ticket Sales

Seve OB · 13-01-2017 11:55am

Stuck Rattle & Hum on this morning. It's pretty much the Joshua Tree album on tour so would be great to have some stuff like Silver & Gold played on this tour, or bring BB back on the big screen to play When Love Comes to Town. Better still, a gospel choir on stage to sing ISHFWILF

johnpatrick81 · 13-01-2017 11:57am

One Tree Hill I think edges it as favourite song. Really nice(but sad) story behind it too.

Wooderson · 13-01-2017 11:59am

I want less gimmicks. Less "snippets". Let the band re-connect with their songbook again FFS.

Just bagged two tickets now for Hogan Stand Lower Tier 329 Row F yepeeeeee.... Please don't rain on my parade and tell me they are crap seats. I know I probably need binoculars but what the hell. How are the seats numbered there. Is seat 1 and so on closer to the stage or futher?

I really hope they scrap the songs they sang from Songs of Innocence, i didn't enjoy any of them live to be honest and the screen where he was walking down Cedarwood road was cringe. Just a simple stage and 24 of their best songs.......including an appearance of Acrobat and The Unforgettable Fire(brilliant during the 360 tour)

That was the thing about the last tour. Fantastic spectacle but very very set in stone. Zero room for randomness or unexpected surprises. Hopefully this tour is more about the music. Just wanna have a party for 2+ hours.

For what it was I -really- enjoyed it however. Was lucky to catch them on a perfect night in Glasgow where they made mincemeat of the place. i+e much better tour / more fun than the 360 shows IMO.

Oh great Ocean,
Oh great Sea,
Run to the Ocean,
Run to the Sea.

What song is this from? I figure most of you will say "One Tree Hill". But on my CD, it is played as the beginning of "Exit" can you check your own CD's out and see if they are the same, or have I got an unusual version?

johnpatrick81 · 13-01-2017 12:09pm

Yup I saw it in Amsterdam and it was fantastic. 2nd time round in Dublin though, wasn't so good.

I just want this to be a proper gig, a few bells and whistles but rocking out and 80,000+ singing along celebrating a fantastic album and band. The new songs(as much as I loved SOI)went down like a lead balloon live.

Fair play! You'll be the Davin side of the half way line. Not sure is seat 1 nearer to 328 or 330. Have a look here for further info https://crokepark.ie/stadiumplan2/index.html although it doesn't seem to show seat details it does have a Photo View.

Were you offered €39.05 Upper Level tickets during your searches?

Yep and i'm sure the new album was along the same lines and they had a good discussion to scrap it and someone said "its the 30th anniversary of the joshua tree this year" PERFECT

Invisible and Song for Someone both fell over, yes. The rest of the newies I really enjoyed.

Disagree.

Raised By Wolves, Miracle and EBW were great

Yea maybe my CD is so rare it is worth a small fortune

If I manage to sell it for a ridiculous sum I'll buy you a life membership to U2.com, tickets to Pitch 2 and we'll have a few pints together singing U2 songs into the wee hours

johnpatrick81 · 13-01-2017 12:19pm

^ I loved them. The majority of people in the shows I was at didn't though. Audience lost interest.

Haha!! Deal

It's 100% part of One Tree Hill though.

Hey Benbecul97, no I just put in best available and it only gave me those tickets. Gave me no other options

jeanie101 · 13-01-2017 12:25pm

If anyone is interested in tickets its shooting up tickets for Hogan Stand LOWER TIER 308 area

Yea, I remember years ago I always thought it was part of Exit. It kinda stands alone, but does make more sense that it is part of One Tree Hill than Exit.

I can't find any reference to it being on Exit other than this. One guy reckons the first prints of the CD had a cutting error. But would be interesting if I could find something official on this.

Thats because its a terrible album. Sounds like any other radio friendly sh1te act. I was embarrassed for them. Worst album they've ever made, by a mile. Mortifying.
Didn't go to the last tour granted but from the clips I saw the new stuff looked even worse live. Despite the great visuals, you can't polish a turd.

johnpatrick81 · 13-01-2017 12:32pm

They sing it live with OTH as well, it's definitely part of that song

Fair enough. I think the songs are really strong.

South American shows in '11 got Kiss Me Kill Me and it looked/sounded impeccable. I wouldve started the 2nd half of the i+e shows with that. Invisible was way too low key for that bit.

johnpatrick81 · 13-01-2017 12:38pm

The Miracle, and Invisible, are very very dog average songs. I really hope neither get played live again.
