  2. Agreed, well I guess from here til AB I am a fan of his hair. Nevertheless a kickass show. My dad was lucky enough to see them at the Amnesty concert.
  3. I remember trying (and failing) to get tickets or this gig. In those days it was tricky to get tickets for a concert in a different country.
  4. Originally posted by Anam:For a brief period of time, I would have sold my granny to buy that jacket with all those tassles. Great gig though. My favourite version of Bad ever. Has been re-broadcast on RTE a few times.


    I remember this being broadcast on the night - 17 May 1986. At 8:24 "If you work, if you work for Anco or if you work for Manpower" - Bono, half the teenagers in the country were on AnCO schemes - me included. The Irish government didn't know what else to do with us. lol

    Self-Aid was basically a fundraising effort to alleviate Ireland's then chronic unemployment problems. We all fled the country shortly after this.

    Great performance by U2 though.

    In those days... Haha. Yup. That's when when "fan club pre-sale" was done by mail months in advance! Remember them well...

    I saw Amnesty show in Atlanta. Amazing.

  7. I Shall Be Released is my all time favourite U2 cover. There's a great version with Bob Dylan from one of the LA Forum shows in April 1987.

    Great share, many thanks!
