U2/Australia 9.27.1989

“LOVETOWN TOUR” was held after the huge hit of “RATTLE AND HUM”. A valuable professional shot that conveys that scene has been decided to be released. This work was filmed at the “September 27, 1989 Sydney performance.” This is the multi-camera pro shot. “LOVETOWN TOUR” was a world tour that included performances in Japan, but it was different from normal. Oceania was the main focus. In particular, Australia was the site of the biggest tour in U2’s history. First, let’s check the show’s position from the panoramic view. ●1989・September 21st-October 28th: ​​Australia #1 (20 performances) ←★Coco★・November 4th-11th: New Zealand (4 performances)・November 17th-19th: Australia #1 2 (3 performances) – November 23rd – December 1st: Japan (6 performances) – December 11th – 31st: Europe (10 performances) – 1990 – January 5th – 10th: Netherlands (4 Performances) This is a total of 47 performances of “LOVETOWN TOUR 1989-1990”. This tour focuses on countries and cities that were not visited on the previous “THE JOSHUA TREE TOUR 1987”, and as a result, performances in Oceania and Japan are the main ones. In particular, Australia held 23 performances, about half of the tour, making it a gigantic tour unlike any other in his country, not just U2. Eight performances were held in Sydney alone, and this work was the first day. According to the above schedule, it was the fourth concert of “Australia #1”. This work, which was born from such a show, is a close-up professional shot that makes extensive use of zoom. Unlike regular concert footage, this was filmed for a news program on the local TV station “Channel 10.” It has been made into a DVD from the 3rd Gene Master. The documentary video (commonly known as LOVETOWN DOCUMENTARY) from this tour is also famous, but the one used in it is the “November 18th” show. This work is a separate performance and is a pure live video without documentary. Although it is short at 7 songs and about 24 minutes, perhaps because it was made for a news program, its quality is impressive. Although the image quality cannot be called “official grade” since it is only the 3rd generation, what makes up for it is the camera work. Even though it is for a news program, it is completely different from Japanese programs where you don’t know the highlights, and you get close to the facial expressions and hands of each member, mainly Bono. To be honest, there are so many close-ups that I can’t really get a sense of the scale of the venue, but on the other hand, the stage is thoroughly depicted, and even though it’s analog quality, it’s so close that it doesn’t matter at all. is. The video depicts four people who are fully exposed to the wind at their peak. All except “Pride (In The Name Of Love)” are occupied by “RATTLE AND HUM” numbers, but the most delicious among them is the top “Hawkmoon 269”. It is valuable just because it was only played on this tour, but it is also a rare song that was dropped from the set before the performance in Japan. And the highlight at the end is “When Love Comes To Town.” This is a co-starring performance with the great B.B. King that was also realized in Japan. U2 in their prime, just before coming to Japan. This is a video work that uses multiple cameras to closely capture the scene. Live at Entertainment Center, Sydney, Australia 27th September 1989 PRO-SHOT 1. Hawkmoon 269 2.
