U2/Ireland 1985

The latest in the original cassette reprint series. The world premiere master of the “June 29, 1985 Dublin performance” is here. Speaking of “Kinney”, it is no exaggeration to say that it is synonymous with the history of Japanese bootlegs. Many performances in Japan have been recorded with a clear sound called “Kinney Magic”. However, “Kinney” was never a specialist in Japan. Regardless of whether he came to Japan or not, he also went overseas in search of the latest rock. He has left behind many famous recordings. This work is a masterpiece of such “Kinney’s overseas recordings”. That is why this work is an extremely beautiful encounter between “Kinney sound + authentic”. Crystal clear shining musical tones / singing voices, transparent and clear atmosphere… It is undoubtedly the “Kinney Magic” itself that has been proven by countless Japanese recordings. However, the mood of this work is completely different from the Japanese performance. The waves of applause move realistically and return with a sense of perspective, and a grand chorus swirls throughout the venue. That is no surprise. The location of this work is Dublin, the capital of Ireland, which is nowhere else. Here, let’s imagine the position of the show from the whole picture of “THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE TOUR 1984-1985”. [1984] August 29-September 24: Oceania (19 performances) “THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE” released on October 1st October 18-November 21: Europe #1 (21 performances) December 1-16: North America #1 (10 performances) [1985] January 23-February 10: Europe #2 (13 performances) February 25-May 4: North America #2 (40 performances) May 25-July 25: Europe #3 (11 performances) ←★ Here ★ A total of 112 performances. The Dublin performance of this work is the seventh performance of the final “Europe # 3”, and it is the concert three performances before that “LIVE AID”. Also, the show in Dublin was about two years ago, and it was not just the heyday, nor just a local. It is a triumphant concert that enthusiastically welcomes the local hero who conquered the whole world. This work precisely absorbs that explosive passion. To be honest, the enthusiasm that sometimes seems to be parallel to the performance is hard to say for beginners. For those who are accustomed to the audience, this is the “taste of the customer record” itself. It is not just noisy, but you feel the beat with your whole body, immerse yourself in the melody, and synchronize with U2 with every word of the lyrics. As mentioned above, the musical tones and performance of this work are extremely clear, and you can place yourself in a space filled with joy. And there is no way that they will not burn after receiving such local hospitality. They will play the masterpieces that have fascinated the whole world at full speed. The best selection of songs up to “THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE” is overwhelming, but it doesn’t stop there. The rare “A Sort Of Homecoming” and “Wire” only for this tour are also nice, but the best is “My Hometown”. It’s a cover of Bruce Springsteen, but this was the only day they performed this song on stage. It’s not just a little fun, they performed it for four and a half minutes. A one-off super rare cover, a passionate performance in the heyday, a big chorus unique to a triumphant return performance… It’s a masterpiece that depicts all of this with the clear sound unique to Kinney recordings. A heart-warming piece that I would like all of you who are obsessed with audience recordings to touch.
