U2 Live - Womanfish and Trip Through Wires - 1986 

The unforgettable fire to Joshua tree bridge.

I can't believe that Womanfish has never been released. It's a great and heavy song

Edge: "Hey Bono, could we add a few more lyrics besides 'in this town'?" Bono: "yeah, sure, lets see what I can come up with" From the sky down indeed!

Years of drumming like that really took it’s toll on Larry

Can’t believe we were so young & now most of us in early 60’ s but U2 still the best band in intire world ☘️💚🤍✌️

I bought a 45 record bootleg of this in late 86 in Philadelphia..Hungry for new U2 at the time..Good rockin tune!

Womanfish is a belter of a track....Edge looks like a boss with the black strat and the black beret ✊

U2’s best television appearance ever

I recall seeing this show live on the night. Bono and Larry were interviewed before their performance. Bono was hammered.

La band all' ennesima potenza !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...Love this...I regret "Woman Fish" ,a hidden jewel in my opinion never appeared on the JT album!Edge really rocked on this! ❤❤🎵🎶🎤🎸🥁

I like Womanfish!

Wow so cool to see Trip in its formative stages!

Watched this live when I didn’t have a care in the world. Great tune.

Excellent Live performance recording quality Sound with suprise song a kind of America U2 Rock roll Sound!

Thank you for uploading the complete performance. Even though Bono is hammered it's still a good performance from my point of view.

only play ever done of womanfish…...very very forgotten song

Womanfish is new favorite

That is fucking awesome

Awesome indeed! Didn't think Bono drinked! When i knew them and hung out with them in Dublin in the early 80's, they were all born again christians except Adam Clayton! lol

Nice to see Edge getting down again...he doesn't tend to rock like that any more...

superb!!!!

so great...so great!!!!wow!!!

Que buena la de womanfish!!!

Had womanfish running though my head - was the first song I was able to get from the forthcoming Joshua Tree album. Of course this is the first time I see the performance. Thank you for uploading. I'd forgotten the Trip Through Your Wires early lyrics.

very cool! didn't know the first song, 'womanfish' before, its very great! it really rocks!! also, its really strange to hear the first version of 'trip through your wires'. i prefer the final version, though.

bono is fuckn hammered.. love it

The Joshua Tree b-sides are epic. Rattle And Hum may not be their best album, but it totally captured American Music without sounding too much like anything other than U2. Much of the album sounded like The Joshua Tree anyway. Desire and Angel of Harlem were about the only real pop songs. Heartland and All I Want Is You are epic. I hope you don't have that disease where you only like the early albums of every artist...Too many people stuck in that "Back When So and So were good."

in this town

cool !!

Pretty sure this was January 86 , unbelievable change from only 6 months previous.

why was the guy from Tears For Fears playing bass? ;-)

❤

bridge pickup ftw

Never heard this far out rocker before ..They should release it. Bono is looking a bit tipsy. Still sounding great

Anybody know where this was actually shot-recorded from show wise,,,? (Maybe done in Ireland itself,not sure),someone mentioned it was from Jan 86,,I first came across it later on that year i think(summertime possibly)or even 87,,,anyhow it was a sort of bootleg video cassette VHS not Betamax(mighty boosh 😂) mixed with lot's of other U2 clippet/snippets on it,,, which just blew me away as was already well into them then aged 15/16,,,, 🤔

Brian Eno made wine from water.

Super drunk Bono! 🤣

4:30 lol

With a little work, 'Womanfish' could actually have been a moderately good song!

lol

Evans regards this performance as the low point of u2's career - personally I think the song Numb was 1000x worse.

this is ok. i know hardcore U2 fans will think its so great

Film suck.

Joshua tree is great but i didn't really care for that era where they like discovered american music and tried to make it. It reached it's worst peak during R&H. I THOUGHT i knew by name every single unreleased U2 song but i didnt know this one (Womanfish). I see why it was never released. Not very good. In fact their unreleased and b-sides from that era are usually not so great. As opposed to most of those from before. Also i find TTYW to be the only skippable song on JT.
