U2 1984-11-09 Apollo Manchester, UK

LDB Special Series #178

Out of my 7,000+ 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.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

Nice little one, the first of two shows in Manchester. The first leg of TUF tour has always been one of my favourire U2 tour
and although I enjoyed the band very much a few months later in Milano on the same tour, I feel that the UK tour had
something more (although comparing a direct live experience with a recorded show isn't that fair!). Soundwise this is ok
and clear but do not expect perfection on this one (I would say 7 out of 10). This is notable for being the last performance
in UK for Indian Summer Sky which was played for the very last time a few months later in Milano. Overall, an enjoyable
show to celebrate the current 360° tour. Enjoy!
