The transition from Unforgettable Fire to Joshua Tree. I think that was Edges best look with the denim jacket and hat with the playing card in it. Beyond cool! Superb version of Bad.
Back when Bono's voice wasnt shot! I heard them in NZ in 1986 and they were amazing, but even when they returned in 1991 I could hear the difference in Bono's singing power.
1986 and 1989 the peak of powerful. 1990-1995 new colors and expressions (particularly falsetto and low tones) 2006-2012 best period in terms of voice control (but loss of falsetto) . Then the decline.
Was at the gig Irelands live aid called selfaid it was rock n roll of every band from Ireland given a kind send off to late phil lynott who died few weeks before . Gig ended with remaining members of thin lizzy of which legend gary moore sung . Seen U2 over 19 times this was their best bad to date its not cause of them but the crowd beyond anything today as to give a world free of mobile phones music was embraced for the now and not a reply .
I was at Self Aid. Nice sentiments, buddy. I met a bunch of golden people from Wexford there. I visited them down south and they visited me up north. It was important to me cos they were all catholic and I was protestant. Self Aid helped cross the barrier for me. Thank you, Bob.We lost touch but I remember them all with warmth in my heart.
Phil Lynott died four months before the Self Aid concert. I wish someone would have a stereo version of it even if it just the audio. The official release was very basic. Time for a DVD release I think, or at least a remastered CD set.
