PS. By the way, looking back to the topic's title, I wonder: how the hell can you witness AN ALBUM?!?!

maybe the whole build up to the album, going to the record shop and purchasing it and rushing home and having that first listen. I'd loved to have witnessed Achtung Baby after JT.

Originally posted by germcevoySpain only knew the rawness and euphoria of that one Madrid gig I suppose so i'm sure they just wanted more and more of that. Next thing they knew Bono was back singing falsetto's and wearing leather. They wanted ore of the bull climbing the stage that they saw in 87. I bet they came around though
Originally posted by LikeASong[..]I didn't mean only the live stuff. After U2's Bernabeu concert (also before, to be honest), Joshua Tree was being sold as hot cakes. Then U2 came up with a special Rattle&Hum premiere at a cinema on the very center of the city. Spain was living a hard U2-mania. People wore hats, long hair and broken trousers as the Edge.
And then came The Fly. It sounded like a bunch of mad boys stringing out a few guitars and a drumming kit. People did not like it. Simple as hell.
