slaneman:
I'm sure this show will be on a U2.com subscription bonus CD in the near future.
How about all 4 Dublin Lovetown shows in full lossless? Now there's a nice release. Ya think?

Meanwhile, just cleaning out old folders. Seems the right time.

Where The Streets Have No Name
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989

Oh yeah
(Oh)

I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls that hold me inside
I wanna reach out and touch the flame, yeah
Where the streets have no name

I wanna feel the sunlight on my face
I see the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter from the poison rain
Where the streets have no name

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
I can do it

The city’s a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name, oh-oh

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
I can do it
I’ll do it

Oh-oh-oh, woh-oh-oh-oh
You…meet it?
Oh-oh-oh, woh-oh-oh-ah
Alright, all night

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It’s all I can do
It’s all I know how to do
Woo-hoo-hoo
I will survive by the chosen light
I wanna go there with you

I Will Follow
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989

Tear the walls down
I Will Follow

I was on the outside
When you say, you say you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind and could not see…oh yeah

Well a boy tries hard to be a man
His lover takes him by his hand
If he stops to think
He‘ll always wonder why

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
 
I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through myself
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will

Be careful
Watch it Bono

Hold it up
Hold me up
Hold yourself up

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I… go in there
But it’s your eyes
Yeah, your eye
But it’s your eye
Yeah, yeah, yeah your… your eye
Ah-ha, there is love
Ah-oh, there is love

If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow

I will follow
I will… follow
I will follow
I will
I will
I will
I will…follow

Yeah

I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989

Yeah
Is that alright? Good
It’s great to be, to be back in um …um...
We got the whole world here tonight. We got people from all over
We even got people here from the south side of Dublin
Yeah…we got ‘em across the river
So what’s been happening? What’s happening here in Dublin…Ireland?
Yep. I know the Pope’s been hanging out with Noriega, I heard that
What else?
Yep. Spooker’s still trying to stop people having same sex. Yeah, that’s bad.

We’ve been, uh, all over, we’ve been in Japan and Australia and…
They got some pretty psychedelic germs in Australia, let me tell ya
They’re having their annual general meeting in my throat at the moment
But if my voice is not strong, your voice is strong

I have climbed the highest mountain
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
(Sing it)
I have run (I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls)
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
Larry Mullen Junior

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone, yeah

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

How about you?
If you can’t dance, you gotta clap
Maybe a strong ?

I believe in the kingdom come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But, yes, I'm still running
Oh God help me

You broke the bonds and you
Loosed the chain
Carried the cross, yeah
Of my shame
Of my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still
But I still haven't found what I’m looking for

I have climbed the highest mountain, yeah
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you

I have run I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
Um

But I still
I’m looking for Bob Marley
When I meet him, I’m gonna say
Bob Marley, tell me about…your
Exodus, the movement of Jah people, alright!
Exodus, the movement of Jah people, alright!
Alright!
Alright!

MLK
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989

They say 70,000 people lost their lives over the last week…for Romania I sing this…for them

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
If the thunder cloud passes rain
So let it rain, rain down on he

Mmmm
So let it be
Mmmm
So let it be

Sleep, sleep tonight
And may your dreams be realized
Thank you

The Unforgettable Fire
Point Depot
Dublin, Ireland
December 27, 1989

Ice
Your only rivers run cold
These city lights
They shine as silver and gold
Dug from the night
Your eyes as black as coal

Walk on by
Walk on through
Walk till you run and don't look back
For here I am

Carnival
The wheels fly and the colors spin
Through alcohol
Red wine that punctures the skin
Face to face
In a dry and waterless place

Walk on by
Walk on through
So sad to beseech your love so head on
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I'm only asking but I think you know

Come on take me away
Come on take me home
Come on take me away
We’re home again

Home again?
This feels like home
With The Edge Orchestra

Never change, ah

And if the mountains should crumble
Or disappear into the sea
Not a tear, no not I
Stay in this time
Stay tonight in a lie
I’m only asking but I think you know

Stay in this time
Stay tonight
Ever after it’s loving time
And if you save your love
Save it all
Well don't push me too far
Don't push me too far
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
