This is a 2CD set of the official quality soundboard recordings of the final performance of the 5-day performance at the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey on May 16th, the last day of the first leg of the 1987 Joshua Tree Tour in the US. This live performance was held at the peak of their career after the release of Joshua Tree, which was their first to top the UK and US charts. The opening starts with the intro to Stand By Me and then Pride (In The Name Of Love). Also, be sure to check out the inclusion of Van Morrison’s Gloria on Exit, The Doors’ Light My Fire and Break On Through on The Electric Co., and the rare Joy Division song Love Will Tear Us Apart on With Or Without You. In addition, “I Will Follow”, which had a defect in the master tape, was seamlessly connected through exquisite editing, making it the definitive version of this performance.
