  3. I'm a bit of a snob, I only like soundboard bootlegs unless its from a truly historic show (i.e. Slane, Elevation Kansas City which had only live incarnation ever of When I Look At the World).

    Red Rocks - War Tour

    Wembley Stadium Live Aid - Unforgettable Fire Era

    Paris - Joshua Tree (I'd recommend finding a DVD rip somewhere, such a fantastic show, scintillating performance of The Unforgettable Fire)

    Point Depot shows - Lovetown

    Dublin - ZOO TV

    Mexico City & Leeds - POPMART

    Cleveland, Slane, Notre Dame, Madison Square Garden - Elevation

  5. Have a read of our summaries in The Bootleg Round Table to get some idea about some more left-field bootlegs.
    We try to avoid the obvious ones that are all listed above.

    Thanks for recommending these. I'm partial to these tours.
  10. The first one titled Thank U Too For The Fire was recorded at Teatro Tenda, Milano, February 4, 1985.
    It is a double LP with an accompanying 7" single that completes the whole show.

    Whoever pressed this particular bootleg went to the trouble of transcribing the Bono Talk between songs (see example below)...

    Yeah, was a bit of an old post but tons of good recommendations in here!
    I'm listening to the 1981 Hague now at work. Pretty good!

    I actually joined up looking for one boot in particular that I had like 20 years ago called Pictures in Grey. Turns out it it was the Geleen show on 8 June 1981 from the Boy Tour which I thought was the October tour so I had been searching the wrong tour for forever.
    Anyway, I haven't seen that one on anyone's best or favorite lists yet. Only been around a day though . Cheers!!
