WES ORSHOSKI
The Edge and Bono at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, June 28.
I did a full review of the first of U2’s two shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, June 28, for the Bergen Record and its NorthJersey.com web site. You can read it here.
But here is a photo gallery (courtesy of Wes Orshoski); I particularly love the black and white shot of The Edge and Bono, which is also to the right. Below the gallery are three fan-made YouTube videos, and below them — SPOILER ALERT! — is the setlist from Night 1.
The second show will be at 7 p.m. June 29, with The Lumineers opening. For information, visit MetLifeStadium.com.
These are the only two currently scheduled New Jersey shows of U2’s The Joshua Tree 2017 Tour, on which the band is performing its landmark 1987 album in its entirety, every night. For information, visit U2.com/tour.
