U2 launched their Joshua Tree Tour with an emotional 'One Tree Hill' performance
kicked off their Joshua Tree Tour 2019 at Auckland, New Zealand’s Mount Smart Stadium on Friday evening. It was their first concert since the conclusion of their Experience + Innocence Tour exactly one year ago, and their first time playing any songs fromThe emotional highpoint of the show came midway throughwhen Bono spoke to the crowd about Greg Carroll, a young Māori man they met in Auckland when the group first played there in 1984.
Tragically, he died in a motorcycle accident on June 3rd, 1986. The group was just about to begin work onand they wrote “One Tree Hill” — inspired by an actual volcano in Auckland — in his honor. Days before the Auckland concert this week,“We sort of adopted him, or perhaps it was the other way around,” Bono told the crowd in Auckland. “But we were very grateful for his companionship over those precious times together. He was taken from us too soon, but in a certain way, he’s still very present.
U2 head over to Australia after playing one more show in Auckland and then the tour will take them to Singapore, Japan and South Korea before wrapping in Mumbai, India, on December 15th.
