*The Unforgettable Fire Tour - White

under construction ..pics to be added

Tour Leg
: This program coincides with the 6th and final leg of the Unforgettable Fire tour that took the band through Europe for the third time on the tour. This leg of the tour saw the band playing on the European summer festival circuit and ran from 25 May 1985 to 25 Aug 1985. While not officially part of the tour, it was on this leg that U2 played their now famous 2 song set at Wembley Stadium as part of Live Aid. Also on this tour, U2 played unannounced at the Lark by the Lee Park Festival in Cork, Ireland. Neither the Wembley or the Cork concert are listed in the program.
Dates covered in program: 25 May 1985 - 7 July 1985

In the program there is a 3 June concert date listed for Berlin. U2 wanted to attempt to re-union East and West Germany by playing a concert in front of the Berlin wall, however this concert is later cancelled due to lack of interest from the public.
No. of pages: 48 (excluding front and back fold out covers)
Size: 31cm x 25cm
Printing
: Printed on glossy thick paper. Some of the photo are the same used in all four programs used on this tour. There is a double page with photo's taken from the Pride video clip filmed in St Francis Xavier Hall and also some nice shots taken around Slane Castle.
Cost: $29.99USD on ebay. Due to the fact that this leg of the tour accounted for only 9 shows, this program is probably the least seen up for sale of the 4 put out for this tour. Expect to find this listed on ebay for $50USD and perhaps for a super mint copy that price is ok, but you should be able to get it for less.
