* I received this tape and a recording of the second Auckland show in September 2nd 1984 in late 1988 or early 1989 (definitely before the Lovetown tour started in Australia) from a trader
in Auckland on a TDK SA 90. The qualities of both recordings are quite good (for those days' standards).

The confusion about the Wellington 1984-08-31 recording (from the "U2 treats U" bootleg LP) inspired me to transfer my old tapes.

I only found incomplete versions of those shows on www.achtungbootlegs.com. For this reason I think those tapes have not been transferred and uploaded before.

The setlist was still like a show on the "War"-tour except for the 4th of July intro and Pride.

Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" is a rare snippet (only snippeted on this show and in Worcester 1983-06-28).

Bono improvised in I Fall Down with verses like "all night long" at the end of the song. I don't know if he referred to Lionel Richie's song with the same title.

He improvised in Surrender ("...one more I get hurt...") and Out Of Control ("...give me the moonlight..."). If anyone has an idea about a snippet then please let us know.


Transfer and upload in February 2010
