Comments

Good recording of the fourth night in East Rutherford during the first leg of the Joshua Tree tour. Sound is quite clear, although a bit harsh. Vocals are somewhat distant, too. Audience noise is intrusive at times, they sing loud on occasion, but they are not overwhelming and add a fantastic live feeling and participation. Note there are ticks between several tracks. First part of The Unforgettable Fire is indexed in track 6 (after MLK), and then continues in track 7.

An odd thing occurs when Larry and Edge start to play Still Haven't Found, but Bono announces People Get Ready, finally playing the latter (and after it, the band takes anew Still Haven't Found). Note the inclusion of Trip Through Your Wires twice in the setlist (in Bono's words: "I wanna do Trip Through Your Wires again, I think we played pretty shit the first time").
