Description
[Machine Translation] Treasure Ark! Countdown live in Dublin in 1989, the end of the 80's for both U2 and the era! B.B. King also appeared as a guest! Countdown live in Dublin with U2 and B.B. King at the beginning of the 90's! Lovetown Tour" started in September 1989 with B.B. King as a support act, following up "Rattle & Hum (Scream of the Soul)" (1988). December was the European leg of the tour, and the final four shows were held in Dublin, Ireland, from December 26 to 31, 1989 (with a break on December 28). The performance started after the New Year's countdown. The band played the Jimi Hendrix-tinged "From the Watchtower" and "Running to Stand Still," ending with "Dirty Old Town," a song made locally known by the Dubliners, to a huge ovation. For the encore, B.B. King appeared on stage and performed three songs from "Scream of the Soul. B.B. recorded "When Love Comes To Town" in Memphis during the Joshua Tree Tour, and the live version was included on the album. It became a standard song played at B.B.'s live shows for many years. Anyway, it was impossible not to get excited when U2 played the countdown song at their triumphant return to their hometown in the peak of their career. The song was recorded without any excesses, including the tremendous cheers of the crowd. On the other hand, for U2, who have been changing their style since their next album "Acton Baby" ('91), this show seemed to be the end of their career up to this point. This is a valuable record of a moment at the boundary of an era. Commentary included.
