*The Unforgettable Fire Tour - Red

Under construction..

Tour Leg
: This program covers the 5th leg of the Unforgettable Fire tour, which was the 2nd time in the tour that band visited North America.  This leg of the tour started on 25 February 1985 at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas and ran through 40 shows, finishing up at the Hollywood Sportatorium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on 4 April 1985.

The program lists only 38 shows with an extra show being added in Harford on 23 April and a second show being added in Florida at the end of the tour.  There are many excellent reviews of the U2 from this leg of the tour and most definitely helped to endear them further to the US concert going public forever after.
Dates covered in program: 25 Feb 1985 - 4 Apr 1985 (40 shows)
Size: 31cm x 25cm
Printing: Printed on glossy thick paper.  Again, some of the same photo's and text are used from the previous 2 programmes for this tour.  The chronological section towards the back of the program have been updated to include the touring activity of the previous legs of the tour.

The front and rear fold out sections again make use of the map linking the concert venues with the front listing the February and March dates and the rear listing the April and May dates.
Cost: $30.00USD on ebay.  This one is quite easy to find for sale via many channels....even check Amazon.com as there are second hand copies to be found there. Some ambitious sellers have this listed for up to $100USD on ebay but if you're patient you should be able to pick one up anywhere between $15 and $40 on auction.
