 LDB Special Series #77

Hello! Here is a new series from my collection. After the Master Series, here is the Special Series.
Out of my 6,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

I was only once at the Brixton Academy to see a show and was surprised how could U2 play such a small venue for their status
in 1984/1985. This is the second night in the same venue but clearly not enough for public demand, so at the end of the tour
they played once more in the Wembley arena. But this is nice one, quite 'intimate' gig and especially with a terrific sound.
I traded this tape in the early 90's directly from the taper, so this one is sourced from a 1st generation. The band really
rocks! I preferred the 1984 part of the Unforgettable Fire tour, although my first time with the band was in Milano the
year after. I would rate this recording a solid 9+, you won't be disappointed. Wanna some U2? Here we go!!!!
