Well, you know music from the "West" was not officially available in Czechoslovakia before 17 November 1989. Most of it was actually prohibited and unless you had relatives living e.g. in West Germany who were able to bring you some, it was rather difficult to listen to it. From today's perspective the live broadcast of the U2 concert is just incredible - but I don't think I was thinking about it that way because I was just 14 and ignorant and took all the social and political changes for granted.
And travelling from afar to concerts? Do you know the saying about Muhammad and the mountain...? I still dream of U2 playing in the Czech Republic again but unless they stick to the arena concept and use the O2 Arena in Prague, I doubt it. However, it's not a problem as long as there are low-cost airfares to London/Dublin/whichever European city.

Yes, so much has changed since then. Music is easier to get now, that's for sure, and that's such a good thing. I've done some traveling to see the band but I keep wondering if the current tour will be my last. Although I've thought that since Elevation 2001.
I hope the band tours near you on their next go-round.

That bootleg has hooked, literally, thousands of people. That one and Rock Hottest Ticket (1987-04-29 Chicago). They are fan-makers.
