Joshua Tree tour hits Detroit - All discussions

Originally posted by guykirk9:I wonder if they play The Blackout and if they do where? To open the encore? To close a la Vertigo from some shows this tour. I guess it could be a cool closer, especially with the main line "when the lights go out"

I hope the little things gets played a bit more

When I first listened to The Blackout yesterday, I thought "there is no way that they play this at any JT shows this third leg." It seemed way too jarring to fit musically or thematically with the whole narrative of this tour - much more suited to open the E & I tour next year, possibly...

But the more I listen to the lyrics, the more I think of the current world we are living in (which was their whole excuse for "postponing" SOE and doing this JT shows, right? ). Especially in the last third/encore of the show, it definitely could work as a good rocker.

I don't know if they are bold enough to play Blackout as the closer instead of Little Things.

It would be cool to see nonetheless right?

Sure, hope for the best, just prepare for the worst, like the European leg.

Blackout would certainly be a more electric way to end the show...

A bunch of night crickets chirping in front of Bono's mic would be more electric than The Little Things
