Memories within the pages
I have been looking at an old tour program, remembering a U2 concert my sister INGER and I attended on Dec. 15, 1984 at the SAN FRANCISCO CIVIC CENTER -- during the "UNFORGETTABLE FIRE" tour.
It was the first of two U2 gigs I attended (I saw the band a couple years later at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City).
After the San Francisco gig, we waited outside the stage door with a few other fans.
The band eventually emerged -- a couple of the tipsy ones were heading for a downtown club for additional drinks -- and BONO autographed our programs while my sister kissed the iconic lead singer on the cheek.
I found the night's set list online:
1. 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
2. I Will Follow
3. Seconds
4. MLK
5. The Unforgettable Fire
6. Wire
7. Sunday Bloody Sunday
8. The Cry
9. The Electric Co./Send in The Clowns
10. A Sort of Homecoming
11. Bad
12. October
13. New Year's Day
14. Pride (In The Name of Love)
Encores:
15. Party Girl
16. Gloria
17. 40
It has been fun, remembering that night while thumbing through the tour program's pages.
