Helsinki Jam (live)
This page contains a list of all known performances of Helsinki Jam.
Analysis and Explanation
The Helsinki Jam was named after its debut performance in Helsinki. Though replaced at the Glasgow 2009 show by the Glasgow Jam instead (Helsinki Jam with bagpipes), anyone who saw the European 2009 tour was guaranteed to have seen this jam live. After being performed at nearly every show up to and including April 2010, the jam was retired for the 2010 Summer Stadium tour. With the sole exception of Fuji Rock Festival 2010, it would not appear again until September 22nd, 2010. At shows where MK Jam was performed, Helsinki Jam was skipped (again, with the only exception being Fuji Rock Festival).
The jam was not performed during the 2011 U2 Support Tour, though it returned for the remainder of the year upon the end of this tour. It was dropped at the end of 2011 and was replaced by other drum and bass jams such as Munich Jam, although the jam made a surprise one off appearance for the first time in seven years at the 2018 Paris Cigale show. With this in mind, it is known that the band can remember how to play this jam and are capable of doing it live, though perhaps their focus on playing other jams has left this jam out of setlists for the time being.
