The Joshua Tree - Euro/US Brown

Tour Legs: This program was issued for sale on the second leg of the Joshua Tree which saw U2 take their classic new album and songs to 3o concerts across Europe. This leg of the tour started only 11 days after the US first leg had finished.
Dates covered in program: This program covers all the Leg 1 dates as well as all the Leg 2 dates. The extra 6th concert at Meadowlands which was listed in the Leg 1 program is not listed in this program which makes the first US Leg correct as per schedule.

Concerts dates not listed in program:
22 Jul 1987 - Olympichalle, Munich, Germany. A extra concert was added after high demand for tickets

No. of pages: 56
Size: 31cm x 25cm
Printing: Printed on nice glossy pages with a wrap around cover showing the Joshua Tree on the cover and the band facing different directions on the back. Classic Anton Corbijn photo's throughout in both black and white and colour. The program was sold in a U2 labelled brown envelope.
Cost: The one picture here cost me 15.99GBP on eBay. At that price I wasn't expecting it to still have it's brown envelope so I was both surprised and delighted when I opened the parcel to see the envelope inside....result!
I was happy with this price, but if you're looking for this one on eBay or elsewhere, make sure you ask the seller is this is the US/UK version or the Leg 3 US version. There is no distinction from the cover and most sellers probably aren't aware there is a difference. Also enquire about the condition or availability of the brown envelope what should come with it.
