Thirty years ago we were introduced such great songs as "Where the Streets Have No Name", "I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For", "With or Without You", "Bullet the Blue Sky" and so, so many more when U2 released "The Joshua Tree". To celebrate this momentous occasion, the band kicked off their 30th Anniversary Joshua Tree tour with full live performances of the album. Some of the songs haven't been played live in 30 years.
The tour kicked off Friday night at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, and reaches our area for two shows at Met Life on June 28 and 29th.
