In 1986 a concert tour was put together to support the work of Amnesty International in securing the rights of political prisoners, fighting the injustice of Apartheid in South Africa, and raising awareness among American youth that they could play a part in the struggle if they chose to do so. U2 was on top of their game, and put together an inspiring set.

Now that's the Bono I remember. ❤️❤️❤️Not yet touched by Globalist Elites who wanted his soul, Steadfast, strong in his faith, and convictions, I miss the 80s, such a kinder, beautiful world then. But my love for this Man will be forever 💕💕

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...

i remember being 13 years old, basically lived right down the block from Giants Stadium . Listen to U2 every day, over and over ..I was obsessed with Under a Blood Red Sky and then UF blew my mind. 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

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.

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.

Fans at this point in 1986 had no idea the thunderstorm of Awesome music that was headed towards them in 1987 with the Joshua Tree!

The whole concert was also broadcast live on one of the radio stations that day. I watched the whole concert while listening to it in blasting stereo surround sound. It was one hell of an emotional day. I felt like I was right there watching the concert from the crowd in front of the stage. I was crying through U2's performance along with Peter Gabriels.

The night before, the whole band walked through the lobby of the Westin Hotel there in Chicago where they had put all the bands performing at the show. When my brother and I asked the band for their autographs Bono sat us down in a couch bay there in the lobby and spent the next 5 minutes explaining Amnesty International’s mission to us. These guys walked their philanthropic talk.

Saw this show at the Oakland Coliseum and it was the greatest show EVER! Peter Gabriel blew my fricking mind. U2 was already my favorite band of all time since Boy. They were at the height of their powers. Before them, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Bryan Adams, Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson, it was insane! What parties they must have had!

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 was 21 sitting in the 100 section Giants Stadium 🏟 and had shivers up & down my spine when Bono looked in our direction during the Unbelievable Performance of “Sunday, Bloody Sunday”...singing “Have ya had ENOUGH of Beirut, Belfast, Nicaragua!!????”..”NO MORE..WIPE YOUR TEARS 😭 AWAY”
