U2 Live at the Amnesty International Concert 1986

[@davemariottini2344]

To see Greg Carroll whipping around the stage keeping Bono's mic untangled, and 19 days later, he dies from a motorcycle accident...his life cut short, but thru U2 he will be alive forever...

The Unforgettable Fire. A perfect album at the perfect time. 30 years later, still remains my favorite. I've seen U2 several times, but I was too young to see them at this period. Which is a shame, I'd have given a lot to see them when they were a band like this.

My parents wouldn't let me go, for whatever reason, cant even remember who was going to take me. I was in shock U2 was even in NJ, devastated i couldn't be there, but loving this music all in the same moment as i was listening live. What a crowd

I was at that show with my brother...and 50,000 other people. I was 16. He was 19. My mother drove us up from Maryland to go. We stayed at some seedy hotel not far from the stadium. It was in ear shot of the all the sound checks the morning of the show. I remember that to get tickets to the show we had to send money to some concert address. From there it was a random chance whether they would send tickets or send the money back. I got two floor tickets. My friend who sent his letter with me, he got his money back. Going into the show it was a mob scene. There were so many people! Everyone seemed to be in a good mood. My bro got separated from me pretty early on. During the first act, The Hooters, he and a cute girl became fascinated with each other. I worked my way towards the stage. The closer to the front the more it felt like a sardine. It took a while but I got right up front and center (actually a few feet left of dead center, and about 2 feet behind the front barricade). I can see my arm in some of this video, and in the Police set because I kept swinging my shirt around. I did it on purpose because my friends' were taping it at home. At the beginning of Invisible Sun (The Police) You can also here this loud mouth dude that was right next to me. Then I began singing the song before Sting started, and you can hear that too. I got a real kick out of hearing that when I first watched my friends' VHS tape. The day was really hot and sunny. There was no water, and no way to get it. Being packed together made it almost unbearably toasty. By the time Peter Gabriel came on I felt like I was in a dream, from thirst. It is a wonder that no one died. Occasionally they sprayed hoses on us, but the relief was fleeting. At some point during Peter Gabriel somebody in the Ground crew threw a bunch of ice into the crowd by me. I grabbed a huge chunk, and guarded it like gold....After consuming the whole thing, it brought me back from my dreamy heat exhaustion. Sunset also improved the situation. It was an epic day. U2 was awesome, but I was most stoked for the Police. I had never seen them before. They had not played together for years , but it did not show. They were tight. They had the place shaking…… No one knew if they would ever play again…..and as it turned out, they didn’t for almost 20 years. And their were so many classic acts that day. Some that were appreciate even more deeply in the years that followed (Fela, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell to name a few).

Peter Gabriel was mind blowing as well…he came on as the sun was setting and shinning right on the stage…he was drenched in sweat in the first 3 seconds and still was breath taking…U2 and the Police had it easy as the sun set during Peter Gabriel’s incredible set…Bryan Adam’s was pretty darned good too…

I was at the Chicago/Rosemont performance. The roar of the crowd when they finally came out on stage was the most frightening thing I have ever heard . It was a roar that actually drowned them out for most of MLK....the power they held on the crowd was unlike anything I could have imagined...think Beatles, Shea Stadium...everyone around us was screaming, crying...I have never experienced like it since. The most intense 25 minutes of concert I have ever seen or ever will see...

[@westgirlssoccer8359]

Jeff N ..I was at that show in Chicago also. I completely agree with your comments. The most incredible set I have ever seen...it was too short the audience did not want it to end.

A few days before U2 left home to fly to the States to start this tour, The Edge realised he had forgotten all of the early songs. A U2 staffer went out and bought cassettes of the first three albums - he knew everything from the fourth album The Unforgettable Fire . On the plane over The Edge sat there with his guitar, and with a large battery operated cassette player, learning the songs.

[@michaelpatrickmoran]

Thanks for viewing and commenting. It is great to hear the "backstories" behind the actual event.

[@jeffoliver2298]

@@michaelpatrickmoran No problem. U2 were very busy for the first four years of their professional career, an album and world tour each year. Things went a bit quiet around 1985, just a few gigs and of course the famous Live Aid appearance. They also released an EP "Wide Awake In America". The next album, "The Joshua Tree", was meant to come out in 1986, but it wasn't finished and ready for release until 1987, so between the summer of 1985 - Live Aid - and the album's release in March of 1987 (I think it was March it came out) people didn't hear much from U2, but one exception was these 'Conspiracy Of Hope' gigs in America in 1986. When "The Joshua Tree" did come out in 1987, the hunger for U2 was so intense that it broke sales records across the world and became one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

The period from 1983-1986 was the best U2 period. The War album and tour, Under A Blood Red Sky, The Unforgettable Fire album and tour, Live Aid, Bono's part in Clannad's song In A Lifetime, Self Aid, Conspiracy of Hope concerts... they were on fire those days. They were on a mission and everyone saw it coming. For sure the Joshua Tree album finally took them to the top and their 90s experimental stuff was exciting too but here they still had that "Lets conquer the world" vibe.

Nobody complained about the noise because they where all at my house and I have a huge backyard and I must of had at least 30 people and they all brought food to share with everyone & I ordered 50 pepperoni pizzas and 50 cheese pizzas? I do this every year and I watched everyone having a good time on my patio steps, Last year I showed a Sir Paul McCartney concert at 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm concert! Everyone enjoyed the show on my Sony TV and the surround sound speakers really did the trick and the cops came to my house and saw a whole lot of people in my back yard and they couldn't do anything about it because everyone in my neighborhood was there and whose gonna complain about the noise and the neighbors said goodbye as the 10 cops left in their squad cars? Plus I had a license that I got from the court house, so I could do this and the cops couldn't do anything about this and the neighborhood loved every minute of it? On the forth of July, I showed the Amnesty International Concert at 1:00 pm until 11:00 pm and everyone loved U2 as I sat on my patio steps and looking at all the people that where there and they all sang along with BONO, I couldn't believe my eyes of what I heard next? It was hard not to laugh of what I was hearing, Everyone was singing along to every U2 song and it was priceless to watch all my friends and family and of course the whole freaking neighborhood having a great time!

Embarrassed to say I just turned 63 and just recently became a U2 and Led Zeppelin/Robert Plant fans even though I worked in the music industry in the US from 1977-1989. I was into Elton, Springsteen, The Who and many others BUT I must have missed seeing any picture of Plant in the early 70’s and watching Bono’s passion for performing anywhere. So I gotta play catchup. I absolutely adore Bono’s fits of emotions, while singing, little jumps, the tossing over a monitor or mic pole and I saw none of that in about 8 videos from a show last week in Vegas. Can you help? #1 are there any closer videos of him on this Amnesty show? #2 recommendations appreciated for earlier concert footage I can find would be greatly appreciated.

[@michaelpatrickmoran]

Thanks for the comment, had honestly not picked up on that, but you are correct, he is signaling his tech.

[@mikemoran2750]

Sorry for not replying earlier, glad you enjoyed it.

[@rodv6696]

At that time here in Mexico, we couldn't get access to those concerts. Maybe that's the reason why we live it so intense since the 90's...well, we hope it can be for a long time...

[@michaelpatrickmoran]

Thanks for the comment, makes me glad I posted it.

Adam Clayton's Moog Taurus I bass pedal set is visible in the overhead shot- it was Sting who made him aware of the massive Taurus bass sound- think I can hear him triggering it on Pride!

I was at the international concert at the Omni in Atlanta and I gotta tell you it was an all day affair everyone from KZbin Joe Baez Peter Gabriel was freaking crazy. You too was a religious experience.

Is that Greg Carroll taking Bonos jacket on Maggie Farm....He tragically died soon after this gig

[@declanfitzpatrick8268]

Yeah, that's Greg. Also darting all over the place making sure Bono's mic lead doesn't snag anywhere.

it wasn't that long of a set but didn't have to be to for u2 to rock about fifty thousand people that tells you how great they are.

[@PlumbPitiful]

It was a short set for them but a long day for the audience. I think the whole concert was 9 or 10 hours from start to finish

Has the mister as in "Turn out the lights, Mister!" ever been identified? He was also chastised in the live version of Bullet the Blue Sky; "the god I believe in isn't short of cash, Mister!"

[@michaelpatrickmoran]

Thanks for viewing and commenting. No idea who Mister is.

[@MackeyWilliams]

@@michaelpatrickmoran well then you need to make it your mission in life to find out.

[@martysmith5260]

C'mon guys! Do this one more time; call it "Rock against Russia." Peter Gabriel, Dee Snyder, U2, Tears for Fears, Bob Dylan and get the SMITHS to reunite one last time! Do it for Ukraine!!

[@michaelpatrickmoran]

Thanks for viewing and commenting. Would be something if that happened.

Pride would have been awesome at Live Aid.

@FeliciaSmith I see what you are referring to with Rueben Blades but I don't know what was behind it or if Bono was upset I never heard about it before.

This is why War will always be their best album. Long live the _real_ Bonon, instead of the douchebag we have now.

Not sure if I have it, but will try to find it on my tapes.

Peter's performance is now on the site as part of the Amnesty Playlist.

This concert was for Amnesty International, not for any particular country

[@SUBTUBESCENT]

I'll be honest, I would have hated to watch U2 perform so many covers wen you consider the cannon it has of its own - even at this early stage in their career.
