And do you consider anything else essential? Thanks for answering.
This is where I started (for more or less obvious reasons):
Boy Tour - ?
October Tour - 14.11.81 - Boston?
War Tour - 05.06.83 - Red Rocks?
Unforgettable Fire Tour - ?
Conspiracy of Hope Tour?
- 27.12.89 - Dublin?
ZooTV Tour - 27.1193 - Sydney?
PopMart Tour - 03.12.97 - Mexico City?
Vertigo Tour - 09./10.05.05 - Chicago?
Joshua Tree Tour - 11.07.87 - Denver?
Lovetown Tour

Originally posted by redguitaronfireFor Joshua tree tour, 1987-06-12 - London, England - Wembley Stadium. Mother of all the bootlegs. Setlist may be 'standar' if you like, but the sound quality has no comparision, is like the Rattle and Hum DVD. You can hear some drums even soundboards tend to lose!
For Lovetown... hard to say, but it would be 1989-12-27 or 1989-12-30. The band has a tremendous energy.

I downloaded the 12/6/87 gig and was listening to it today. The sound is fantastic (although I think Denver, Nov 7th sounds better) but there was a strange 'echo' on the first couple of tracks - e.g when Bono is talking during the intro to I Still Haven't Found, his words are repeated a few seconds later in the background.
Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?
