Houston was the fifth stop on this current 18-city North American tour of the award winning 30-year-old The Joshua Tree album. Fans of all ages, some who weren’t even born when this album was released, came from all over to see their favorite band at NRG Stadium on May 24 and hopefully catch favorites like “Where the Streets Have No Name,” With or Without You” and “Bullet the Blue Sky”.
