U2- interview and "Lucille" on Countdown 1987

[@garylagstrom3864]

MY LETTER TO U2-1987 I saw you guys on the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 at MTSU-Middle Tennessee State University Saturday November 28th 1987. The Bodeans opened up for you. I remember at the time Larry had a crush on Wynonna Judd and she came out and sang a duo with Bono! I didn't have tickets to the show. A friend of mine drove us 3 hours from East Tennessee to see the show. We bought tickets at the box office for $18.50. We ended up 8th row center stage! I remember back then the band held back tickets for fans who were willing to make the drive and couldn't get tickets via phone or record store locations. Thanks again to Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr for making a special album and tour! I was 18 and had just graduated High School that year! All the Best! Gary Lagstrom

U2 opened up for themselves a couple of times on this tour and were called: The Dalton Brothers: Bono-Alton Dalton, Larry-Duke Dalton, Edge-Luke Dalton, and Adam as Betty Dalton! The U2 Country Band! Or as Adam said: We play two kinds of music: Country AND Western! Thus: Lucille was born!

Bono's revised reply at 0:26: "Well, it's even better than the real thing."

This was broadcasted in the summer of 1987 when The Joshua Tree was released and Adam Curry, the interviewer still presented Countdown.
