U2 U2/CA,USA 04.13.1987 Complete

U2’s “The Joshua Tree” era saw them leap from one of the most popular bands of the era to becoming a giant in rock history. Two superb live albums capturing that glorious moment have been released simultaneously. This is the first of two consecutive releases. It’s a superb audience recording from the April 13, 1987 San Diego performance. The “The Joshua Tree Tour” is the most important tour in U2 history…no, in rock history. We’ve archived as many masterpieces as possible. First, let’s organize our collection and confirm this album’s position. “THE JOSHUA TREE” released on March 9th: April 2nd – May 16th: North America #1 (29 shows) ←★here★; May 27th – August 8th: Europe (31 shows) ←※LEEDS 1987 and others; September 10th – October 13th: North America #2 (19 shows) ←※SYRACUSE 1987; October 20th – December 20th: North America #3 (32 shows) ←※OAKLAND 1987 and others. This is U2 in 1987. Both of this week’s two consecutive albums are live albums from the early “North America #1” dates. This “North America #1” is a battleground packed with some of the most iconic albums on “THE JOSHUA TREE Tour.” Let’s focus on the dates further here. Details of “North America #1” * April 2nd “TEMPE 1987” – April 4th-12th (6 performances) ◎ April 13th: San Diego performance ←★This work★ ◎ April 14th “SAN DIEGO 1987 2ND NIGHT” – April 17th + 18th (2 performances) * April 20th “LOS ANGELES 1987 3RD NIGHT” – April 21st-25th (4 performances) ◎ April 25th “COW PALACE 1987 2ND NIGHT” ◎ April 29th “ROSEMONT 1987” – April 30th-May 16th (12 performances) … and so on. In addition to the two San Diego albums, the lineup also includes the two greatest peak albums “COW PALACE 1987 2ND NIGHT” and “ROSEMONT 1987”. You can see that this is the biggest and most important leg. And this album is a new masterpiece born from that fierce battleground. Speaking of the first day in San Diego, the recording is famous for its annoying, close-up vocals, but this is a different recording. It was mastered through the same unique route as the aforementioned “COW PALACE 1987 2ND NIGHT” and “ROSEMONT 1987,” making it truly a masterpiece worthy of permanent preservation. Its brilliance lies in the clear, vibrant core and rich, dynamic sound. While this album also sounds like an audience that truly absorbed the enthusiasm of the peak of their popularity, the performance sound completely dominates its intensity. The core that penetrates the center has a driving force that reaches your ears without any sense of distance, and soon brings out the obbligato and synth ornaments beautifully. On top of that, the dynamic sound it produces is also delicious. The spectacle of singing voices filling every corner of the venue, the sparkling, dancing arpeggios pouring down on us. Bono’s vocals even sound richer. Boasting a vividness and power that clearly captures even the most nuanced nuances, the set also offers a sense of the inclusiveness only an audience can possess. This gentle, vibrant, dynamic sound depicts the glorious “THE JOSHUA TREE Tour.” Here, let’s analyze the set by comparing it with the simultaneously released sister album “SAN DIEGO 1987 2ND NIGHT” and the wildly popular “COW PALACE 1987 2ND NIGHT.” Joshua Tree (7 songs) – Where The Streets Have No Name / I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For / Bullet The Blue Sky / Running To Stand Still / Exit / In God’s Country / With Or Without You Others (12 songs) – WAR: Sunday Bloody Sunday / New Year’s Day / “40” (★) – ?: MLK / The Unforgettable Fire / A Sort Of Homecoming (＊) / Bad / Pride (In The Name Of Love) – Others: I Will Follow / Gloria (＊) / October / I Shall Be Released (＊) *Note: Songs marked with “★” are not included in the sister album “SAN DIEGO 1987 2ND NIGHT” released the following day. Songs marked with “＊” are not included in the classic album “COW PALACE 1987 2ND NIGHT”. While centered around “The Joshua Tree” and “The Unforgettable Fire,” the album also includes rare tracks like “A Sort Of Homecoming” and “I Shall Be Released.” While “I Shall Be Released” is a cover of Bob Dylan’s work, the band actually performed with Dylan himself a week later (as seen on “Los Angeles 1987 3rd Night”). Having performed several shows in a row since that day, perhaps this was a warm-up for the legendary performance. This is a superb audience recording of the “San Diego performance on April 13, 1987.” This album, mastered via the same unique route as the two greatest albums, “Cow Palace 1987 2nd Night” and “Rosemont 1987,” is a new masterpiece that approaches the heart of the album. The core that penetrates the center is excellent, and the dynamism created by the sound is also delicious. The spectacle of the singing voice filling the air, the sparkling arpeggios pouring down. Bono’s singing voice is even richer. You can experience the real scene of “THE JOSHUA TREE Tour” with delicious rare songs such as “A Sort Of Homecoming” and “I Shall Be Released.” San Diego Sports Arena, San Diego, CA, USA 13th April 1987 TRULY PERFECT SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc:1 (50:56) 1.
