What was your process in developing and refining the sound of the Joshua Tree? How did it change throughout the process?

06 March, 2017 30 Years Revisit
It was a mere 30 years ago that a adolescent boy (myself) went to his very first U2 concert at Rosemont Horizon just outside of Chicago. Fast forward to 2017 and I sit as a middle aged man looking to relive my youth through the tour. I am hoping that "You Guys" Chicago slang for U2. I really hope that Drowing Man is added to your set list! I know it's never been played in concert before but it's a hidden gem in your arsenal. I also will be having the pleasure of seeing you in Bean-Town! Good Luck On The Tour!

Silver & Gold gotta be in the mix along with tunes from War - Drowning Man was rehearsed in Barcelona 2009 - you must play this along with other rare tunes from War - Kinda sums up the state of affairs in US & UK - am fan since 1983 & from Dublin - to be honest we need to hear older rare stuff on this tour - not the usual commercial stuff - those tunes are for the POP kids and hey 'you don't need them' going to see you guys in Barcelona - ROCK n ROLL STOPS THE TRAFFIC - that's all folks.........

#AskU2 #U2TheJoshuaTree2017 is it difficult to play the Joshua tree with the same energie like in 1987 ???
Now a days you are older but even better than the 80th.

While I know this tour is a celebration of the Joshua Tree, in light of the events going on in the US and Great Britain, I'd like to suggest a song for the set, "The Refugee". With this said could the set list possibly include songs prior to the Joshua Tree which would then lead to the songs from the Joshua Tree and culminating with songs dated Achtung Baby to present?
Walk out music is The Waterboys Whole of the Moon
Suggested setlist; 4 June 2017 Soldier Field Chicago
I Will Follow
A Day Without Me
Electric Co
October/New Years Day
The Refugee
Pride
Bad
Maggies Farm
(Break)
Joshua Tree
City of Blinding Lights
Miracle Drug
When I Look at the World
Real Thing
Beautiful Day
(Encore 1)
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Walk On
(Encore 2)
Streets
With or Without You
Mothers/40
Thank you and have a great tour.

06 March, 2017 The Joshua Tree question
How you prepare to play a song that was never performed live before
And who determines the sequence during concerts

06 March, 2017 No regrets?
Hello guys,
So the “Joshuah Tree” is the first tree that you decided to cut down, right?
Aren’t you scared that the legend will keep in mind 4 genius who could have been lumbermen, more than their capacity of re-inventing themselves?
Love you
Althen
P.S Don’t forget to add Zürich to the venues list in the next months.

Are you going to play live songs Like Wave of sorrow, walk to the water, Luminous times , desert of our love, rise up that were not on the album but they are related to it?

06 March, 2017 Old songs, new sounds?
Hi guys, it's Marco from Napoli , Italy.
What about the old songs and the unplayed since a long time? Will you rearrange the sound and the versions of this old songs? I mean songs like Trip through your wires, Exit, Running to stand still, Mothers, In God's country?

Who taught Bono how to play harmonica? Was it Keith Richards? #AskU2 #U2TheJoshuaTree2017

When you recorded "Joshua Tree" in Adam's house who decided the order of the songs? Did you realized since the beggining that the first tree songs were all hits and iconic?
Best regards from Portugal (see you all at 22th July in Dubin)

How are you planning on giving the 2017 tour something new and cutting edge typical of every other U2 tour, whislt still giving a a few nods to the tour back in 1987. This must be difficult ground for the band , as you have never re-toured an album.
