Performance

This show and the next one (12.20.87)were filmed by Phil Janou for the Rattle & Hum film.A few of the tracks from the 20th are in it.Some say the band seemed tight at these 2 gigs..they seem loose to me here on the 19th.The Joshua Tree Tour started in Tempe in April,and ended the tour there in December.The standout tracks here are I Still Havent, Mothers Of The Disappeared,Out Of Control and a classic version of With Or Without You.This version sounds identical to the version from the next night that was used in the film.I loved this whole tour and time from the band.I was lucky enough to catch the band many times on this tour.I live in NYC,so I can say IMO that some of the bands best shows were MSG.But,this show at Tempe,and the next one,are great shows that ended the tour.

Sound

This boot is solid.It doesnt have the live feel of Chicago 04.29.87.It has a steril sound to it.Not a great soundboard.Streets sounds great, I Will Follow then sounds like an audience recording.Then, I Still Havent..sounds better again...strange.MOTD is performed greatly.Thats really the reason to go for this gig.R&H and Paris 87 have great clear released versions of most of the songs here,besides MOTD.

Audience

You cant hear the audience much cause its a soundboard.From the clips that I have seen over the years,crowd was great both nights.

Overall

A solid 4..lowlights :the last 2 tracks..People Get Ready and 40..sound like they were recorded from the parking lot.The artwork for this show does not mention these 2 songs..maybe they are from another show??..Bad is cut,it fades out....highlights Mothers Of The Disappeared.Fantastic version.They should have played this great song more often.The spanish verses are so moving,adding more emotion to an already emotionally charged tune.This whole show is a great trip back to 1987for me..cheers.
