When & Where Sunday, June 11th 2017. Hard Rock Stadium, Miami, Florida. Night 12 of #U2TheJoshuaTree2017
Set List The opening: Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, Bad, and Pride opened the show. A six-song encore followed The Joshua Tree, closing the night with a new entry to the tour setlist: Vertigo! Here's the complete set list from Miami.
In The Press South Florida Sun-Sentinel 'Addressing a crowd dotted with Irish flags, Colombian flags, Venezuelan flags, Brazilian flags and rainbow flags, bandleader Bono interrupted a version of "Bad," with a request. "Permit us a meditation on your country," he said, before leading the audience in several full-throated repetitions of a refrain from "America" by Simon and Garfunkel: "All come to look for Amehhh-rica." It was one of many reminders during the night of the singular power of U2, among pop-music acts, to create moments of surprising intimacy that unite tens of thousands of people, singing along for most of the night, in an almost literal group hug...'
If You Had To Pick One Song 'Mothers of the Disappeared' 'In the wind we hear their laughter/In the rain we see their tears.'
From @ariodzernbc6 : 'So many transcendent moments at tonight's @U2 show in Miami. One of my favorites was Mothers of the Disappeared.'
What (else) did Bono Say? 'It's mass movements that change history. I think that's something to always hold onto—the power of the people is so much stronger than the people in power,' Bono said during the intro to One, where he talked about the tangible difference organized groups (such as The ONE campaign and its 8 million members around the globe) can make toward making the world a more equitable place. 'The government should fear the people not the other way around,' he said, giving shout outs to Tom Freston (Chairman of the Board for ONE) and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, a Miami native and longtime supporter/collaborator with the ONE Campaign. 'I want to thank him tonight,' Bono said of Rubio. "These budget cuts by this president could undo the work, the great work, of the United States of America. So send him a message. This country does incredible things when it works together as one."
As the show concluded in the tropical heat of south Florida, Bono thrilled the crowd by shouting 'MIAMI, MY MAMMY!' a line from 'Miami,' a rarity from the Pop album. (The band hasn't played 'Miami' live since Sept. 11, 1997 in Lisbon, Portugal.)
Top post from U2.com From wahine: 'Oh My God...Thank you Lord for bringing U2 to Florida on this one year anniversary of the terror attack at Pulse in Orlando!! Thank you THANK YOU!!!! IT SOUNDS MIRACULOUS TONIGHT FROM HERE ON THE SPACE COAST!!'

A Sort of Homecoming
After reviewing the past few nights set lists, I really hope you aren't shelving this song. When I heard Homecoming in rehearsals and then the first few nights, I was revelling in the fact of hearing this live again in Miami. Now, it looks as though it may be through, and I'm not sure why. I'll just humbly ask that you keep it in the mix... Don't just give it to New York or Boston. All of us old-school, die-hards want it!

6th Time!!
This will be my 6th U2 Concert, but my first since the Zoo TV Tour (Sept 20, 1992 in St. Louis), almost 25 years ago! I pray they play a good amount of the older music, but I know it will be a great concert!
