Notes:

Courtesy of the Stonecutter Archives is this blazing show for U2's fifth leg of Unforgettable Fire tour at Madison Square Garden, the very first of many at this "big nightclub" for the band. Bono incorrectly calls it Madison Square Gardens (plural), as many first-timers do. Regardless of the massive capacity audience that the Garden can hold, all 20,000 seats for the show were sold out within an hour.

About two weeks prior to this gig, in the midst of this tour, Rolling Stone put U2 on its cover and declared them the "Band of the 80s." Shortly after that, they would be interviewed by Pam Lambert of the Wall Street Journal in their Detroit hotel room the day after their performance there, with an article headlined "U2: Keeping the Rock Faith with Unforgettable Fire," being readied for their upcoming NYC appearance.

Pegging this gig as one of their important conquests, U2 flies in family, friends, as well as select journalists from Ireland to attend the show. The band holds a press conference the following day confirming that they undoubtedly delivered a knockout performance this night (which is interesting in contrast to their better-known Live-Aid set where they felt they failed, but were then met with favorable reviews).

As Bono says, the people and the music are bigger than the place, and the sound really does fill out the venue. This Stonecutter tape circulated plenty back in the tape trading days, and is easy to identify (it's the "Got my lighter?" source). The are some level imbalances and jumps here and there, but minor ones, and this is mainly an outstanding capture. Compared to the lossy versions that can be heard online, the high end on this brand-new transfer direct from a first gen made back in 1985 is night and day.

Enjoy,
elegymart

Performance

A fantastic performance for the 1st show at MSG, with the band delivering a great, tight, energetic and inspired performance with few mistakes. Bono is also having a very good night for the tour as he delivers top-tier renditions of every song in the set as this is known as a tour that he usually isn't at 100% on.
