(Spoilers) Day 2: U2's Joshua Tree 2017 Tour rehearsals in Vancouver

@U2

U2 is back inside Vancouver's BC Place stadium for a second day of rehearsals. Although we haven't seen any tweets or audio/video clips yet, a reader outside the stadium says today's rehearsals began at about 1:30 PM PT. Yesterday, the band spent more than nine hours rehearsing (with a few breaks, of course) so we'll be watching to see if today is just as long.

MAJOR SPOILER WARNING

As we did yesterday, we'll keep a running list as best we can of songs that fans are able to hear outside the stadium.

1.) "Running To Stand Still"
2.) "Red Hill Mining Town"
3.) "Miss Sarajevo"
4.) "Mothers Of The Disappeared"

After breaking for a couple hours in the afternoon, rehearsals resumed around 5:30 PM, but may not have been the full band.

5.) "One Tree Hill"
6.) "Pride" (guitar only; possibly Dallas Schoo)
7.) "Miss Sarajevo" (not full band; possibly Dallas again)

The full band began in earnest at about 6:45 PM PT. It was live streamed on Periscope by U2 fan Bjorn L.

8.) "Miss Sarajevo"
9.) unknown song (believed to be a new song called "The Little Things That Give You Away"; audio clip here)
10.) "A Sort Of Homecoming" (audio clip here)
11.) "A Sort Of Homecoming"
12.) "A Sort Of Homecoming"
13.) "A Sort Of Homecoming"

The band took a break starting at about 8:00 pm PT, and resumed at about 9:10 PM PT as follows:

14.) "A Sort Of Homecoming"
15.) "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
16.) "New Year's Day"
17.) "MLK"
18.) "Pride"
19.) "Where The Streets Have No Name"
20.) "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"
21.) "With Or Without You" (short clip here)
22.) "Bullet The Blue Sky" (short clip here)
23.) "Running To Stand Still"
24.) "Red Hill Mining Town" (short clip here)
25.) "In God's Country"
26.) "Trip Through Your Wires"
27.) "One Tree Hill"
28.) "Exit" - snippet of "Gloria" (short clip here)
29.) "Mothers Of The Disappeared"
30.) "Beautiful Day"
31.) "Ultraviolet"
32.) "One"
33.) "Miss Sarajevo"

And that's how the night wrapped up -- at about 10:50 PM PT, just before the band's 11:00 PM curfew. As the evening session went along, you could hear a couple dozen fans on the streets outside the stadium cheering after every song.

That's all for tonight. More to come as U2's rehearsals continue. Follow us on Twitter for the most up-to-date information!
