Well, here we go:
2017-05-14 Seattle, WA - ATYCLB 30th Anniversary Tour
Setlist:
01 No Line on the Horizon (SBS)
- The band opens with the first track from their 1983 album, No Line on the Horizon. The tracks a rocker and gets the crowd excited for things to come.
02 Magnificent (NYD)
- Next up is another song from No Line, Magnificent. An early hit of the bands and still considered to be among their best.
03 Miracle Drug / America (S&G) (snippet) (ASoH)
- The next track takes the audience by surprise - it's Miracle Drug! A fan-favorite that has only been played sparingly since the original Elevation your back in 1987. Some fans are put off, however, as the song is played in a very different style.
04 City of Blinding Lights / America (S&G) (snippet) (Bad)
- A true warhorse, City of Blinding Lights continues the powerful tirade of classics.
05 Vertigo (Pride)
- The third song from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb tonight. This was one of their earlier hits and has remained a staple in setlists for decades. Some argue the song is tired, but it certainly gets the crowd moving. As the song ends, the opening chimes of Beautiful Day fill the room, and then All That You Can't Leave Behind is played in full for the second time ever.
06 Beautiful Day / Scarlet (snippet)
07 Stuck in a Moment That You Can't Get Out Of
08 Elevation
09 Walk On / O Superman (snippet)
10 Kite
11 In a Little While
12 Wild Honey
13 Peace on Earth
14 When I Look at the World
15 New York / Wise Blood (snippet) / Eeny Meeny Miny Moe (snippet)
16 Grace / El Pueblo Vencera (snippet)
encore(s):
17 Where the Streets Have No Name / Love, Reign O'er Me (snippet) (BAD)
- The band kicks off the encore with Where the Streets Have No Name. It hasn't missed a single concert since The Joshua Tree was released in 2000. Tonight the song features some dance elements mixed in with it, and the crowd loves every minute of it.
18 In God's Country (Elevation)
- The band follows it up with perhaps the most rocking track on All That You Can't Leave Behind. Many hardcore fans are tired of the song, but the rest of the crowd is too busy jumping up and down to notice.
19 Dirty Day (UV)
- Dirty Day, a fan-favorite from 1991's wildly successful Zooropa, is a pleasant surprise for everyone in the room and sets up nicely for Zooropa's biggest hit.
20 Stay (Faraway, So Close) (One)
- The true anthem on Zooropa, Stay fills the stadium with emotion. Many argue the song is due a rest, but it's still hard not to get emotional during Bono's "ohs" towards the end of the song.
21 Wild Irish Rose / The New Colossus (snippet) (MS)
- The band then continues with Wild Irish Rose, a song recorded as part of a side-project the band did between Achtung Baby and Rattle and Hum. The song isn't recognized by most fans and seems somewhat out of place in the setlist.
22 Shadows and Tall Trees (TLTTGYA)
- Yet another surprise this evening: a song from the band's forthcoming album, Boy. A slower but powerful piece, it has fans everywhere excited for the new album.
22 Red Flag Day (IWF)
- However, the bands not done yet, and they pull out an oldie but a goodie: Red Flag Day. The rocking track gets everyone moving and ends the set on an energetic note.
