U2 - Pontiac Silverdome, Pontiac, Michigan, April 30, 1987
This recording comes from a cassette I bought at a "record show" a few months after the concert date.
Having been in attendance at the show, I was thrilled to get a copy of what I thought (and still believe) was one of the most tremendous concerts I have ever seen. U2 were in many ways on top of the world. As Bono reminds the crowd, "The Joshua Tree" was the number one record in the US, the band was about to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, and this was U2's first headlining stadium date in the US.
(About 55,000 attended the show at the Silverdome.) Unfortunately, the quality of the recording is not great, and the crowd is pretty loud. (The Silverdome is/was horrible for shows, in my opinion. It's a huge cave with a canvas roof.) Still, the recording shows the band in fine form. Perhaps the most interesting moment comes when Bono stops the band during "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" to berate a security guard who was apparently roughing up a fan down front. "I want to tell you one thing, security," he says, "these people are paying our wages!"
Audio quality could be much better, of course, but this is a nice addition for U2 fans looking for intersting stuff from the Joshua Tree tour.
