I saw U2 for $5 (!) back then, at Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, AZ.  Still have the ticket stub to prove it.

wow, live U2 "Helter Skelter", also relatively rare.  BOS4, I'm surprised to find myself typing.

Take a drink every time Bono fucks up the lyric, though, and you'll be buzzed by the time Larry Mullen has blisters on his fingers.

BOS3 Johnny Hates Jazz. This set is surprisingly good (so far) given the year.
One of my least favorite examples of sophistipop, I'm afraid.  Would rather be swinging out, sister.

If Dave would play SOS I'd plotz!  "Break Out" is one of the great pop singles of the decade.

wow, live U2 "Helter Skelter", also relatively rare.  BOS4, I'm surprised to find myself typing.
I'm surprised too, 'cause this remake doesn't do anything for me.  Especially the way he delays saying "slide".  And what's with him saying "you ain't no lover but you ain't no dancer."  Does he know the words?

It's (a) a rarity thang, and (b) the more I hear Coldplay, the more I appreciate Bono, mondegreened lyrics or no.
