U2's 'Joshua Tree' Tour Is Timely 30 Years Later

U2 still has as much to say about America as when they made “The Joshua Tree” 30 years ago.

On “The Joshua Tree” tour, they’re delivering the message sonically and visually, backed by a stadium-wide high-resolution video screen.

Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. wrapped the first week of their North American and European tour Sunday with a two-hour show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. They played their Grammy-winning album in its entirety in front of a packed house that included Maria Shriver, Josh Brolin and Quincy Jones.

Bono sang a few bars from the “La La Land” song “City of Stars,” gave a shout-out to his wife and daughters, and dedicated a song to the late Chris Cornell.
