  1. I saw U2 on the second night at Paris Bercy and can't believe it's twenty years ago. I still remember the intro to Streets starting & the whole place going crazy and also there were flags from lots of other countries.
    Anyone else have any memories from that tour?
  2. Saw U2 in adelaide, australia during the lovetown tour, the first show after bono's voice troubles where they had to cancel some of the sydney shows. During the opening song 'streets' bono yells out "I can sing!" Best moment was 'unforgettable fire' as it is my favourite song. During 'god part II' bono started running and fell off the front of the stage and into a stack of lights. It was at a small outdoor venue, no video screens just the band and the music.
  3. Lovetown never came to the UK (anyone know why) so missed out I remember being very dissapointed as I had seem Wembley 87 and coudnt wait to see them again and also missed out on the early ZooTv indoors shows as it was the days of telephone bookings and they were engaged all the time and personal callers to the Arena's, ah the good old days of concert going

    The UK and US got the JT Tour, so the places that missed out - Japan and Australia got Lovetown.

    Are you from Adelaide?
  5. Had to travel to Dortmund on a coach as they didn't play UK. All I remember from the gig was being impressed that there were still Scouse ticket touts outside the venue even in Germany
  6. Lovetown is a tour I wish I could have experienced. It would have been great to be at any of those shows... and it' have been amazing to have been at all four night in Dublin - at Point Depot.

    I too had to travel from the uk, 12 hours on a coach,watching R&H on repeat,numb bum ,ferry crossing,pissing with rain all day in Paris but still a great gig.
    Love your Scouse touts comment
  8. I attend all 3 nights in Dortmund in a row.

    On all 3 nights the audience was f*** brilliant. The sound was totally muffled due to a bad PA-System.

    The first gig was really great Rock´n Roll concert. No doubt.

    But it was the second night that blowed all of us away to some universe. This gig was magic and the best of the 20 U2 concerts I attended since 1987. Unfortunately there is no good recording available...

    And the third night was the worst gig in my U2 history. Bono´s voice didn´t work. That can happen.
    But you can´t send 18.000 people home after 70 minutes without any comment. The whole audience booed and yelled and was angry. And the audience was right. Why no new date and why didn´t Edge sing like years later in Sarajevo???
  9. In my dreams, yes...
  10. I was at two Dublin Gigs December 27th and 30th looking at my ticket stubs on my wall here.

    Were two of the best U2 gigs out of the 45 I've been too Out of Control, Two Hearts beat as one and 11 O'clock Tick Tock were memorable

    Thoes were the days....
  11. I attended the RAI Amsterdam gig on December 18th 1989.
    It was my first U2-concert ever (I was 16 at the time) and like in
    Germany Bono´s voice broke down and he couldn´t go on.

    Later on we heard that we should send our tickets and then either we
    got our money back or get new tickets for the Ahoy Rotterdam shows
    in January 1990. I went with a classmate and HE got a new ticket..

    Then 13 days later listening to the Point-show in Dublin I really felt screwed

    Plus side from the tour was definitely B.B. King (anyone saw the HBO Rock´n Roll
    Hall of Fame Show last week????).

  12. Unfortunately not one, was 1 year old at the time. Best tour of U2 imo
