U2 2017-07-26 Stade De France, Paris

Wed, July 26, 2017 in Paris, France @ Stade De France

I went to Dublin and Paris to see 3 amazing shows by U2 (Saturday on Dublin and then Tuesday and Wednesday in Paris) from the "The Joshua Tree Tour 2017".

Celebrating 30 Years of "The Joshua Tree".

"The Joshua Tree transformed U2 into superstars. U2 is celebrating the album’s thirtieth anniversary with a world tour. The original album tackled weighty real-world topics. Bono and company want to connect the music to right now — to global anxieties about, immigration, human rights, and governmental regimes."

"But The Joshua Tree transformed U2 into superstars, with hit singles “With or Without You,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” and “Where the Streets Have No Name”. It was their first album to hit No. 1 on the U.S. album chart. U2 found themselves on the cover of Time magazine. A Grammy was awarded to the music video for “Streets,” shot on top of a Los Angeles liquor store. And when it was all said and done, The Joshua Tree sold more than 25,000,000 copies worldwide, was awarded the Grammy for Album of the Year, and contributed to U2 entering the discussion for greatest rock band ever. When Rolling Stone Magazine compiled its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, five U2 albums were listed, with The Joshua Tree ranked No. 27 (U2’s highest presence on the list)."

"In 2017, U2 is celebrating the album’s thirtieth anniversary with a world tour that spans 33 shows for an estimated 1.7 million fans. But these Dubliners have no desire to present The Joshua Tree tour as a museum piece. Bono and company want to connect the music to right now — to global anxieties about labor, immigration, human rights, governmental regimes, and the environment."

Saw them 12 times before in other places, my Country and even other Countries.

Before "U2", played "Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds", they played 53 minutes.
Noel the member of the band "Oasis" (1991–2009).

U2, played for 128 minutes. Played 23 songs.

They were awesome live doing this stadium show. Amazing sound.

1st show I was Pitch 1 on the right corner of the VIP area just on front row.
2nd show I was 1st row corner of the B Stage (Tree Stage) with Larry Mullen drums just ahead of me.
3rd show I was on the stands with a Gold Hot Ticket from VIP Nation.

Here it is the setlist with intro from u2.gigs (http://www.u2gigs.com/article1209.html):

U2 played their second night in the French capital. On all three of their European stadium tours in the 2000s–10s, they have done at least two dates in Paris; the last stadium tour to feature just one night there was Popmart on 6 September 1997.

There were a few changes to the set from night one. A Sort of Homecoming made its second appearance on the current leg, replacing Bad in third. Mysterious Ways returned to the encore after missing three gigs. Little Things was absent from the set, missing the opportunity to be played at four shows in a row—its best run of consecutive concerts thus remains three. The closer was instead I Will Follow, its sixth performance of the tour and first outside North America.
