1989-12-26 - Dublin, Ireland - Point Depot

setlist

Performance notes: The verse Bono sings at the end of One Tree Hill is completely improvised; it is not a snippet. Part of a William Wordsworth poem is read at the start of Where The Streets Have No Name in tribute to the recently deceased Irish poet Samuel Beckett. This show features the first use of God Part II as an opener - the only other time it takes this role is on 5 January 1990 in Rotterdam.

Performance

In my opinion, the all-time best U2 concert. The band was on fire this night, with Bono trying things with his voice I've never heard before or since.

Sound

If this isn't soundboard, it's exceptionally close.

Audience

The hometown crowd is utterly awestruck and in love with the band. The fans' enthusiasm comes through in the recording, but as an enhancement, not a distraction.

Overall

The set flows from strength to strength, hitting an early peak with "Streets." This was, to the best of my knowledge, the first time Bono attempted a spoken-word intro to the song, as he'd use regularly on the 2001 tour. The effect is captivating. And when Larry's drums thunder in, it's stunning.

I've made copies of this show for probably 20 people over the years, most of them casual U2 fans. To a person, they've all said that the bootleg made them want to run out and buy the band's records, and see them in concert.

A must-hear.
