| UNFORGETTABLE FIRE TOUR BOOKS |
| The 1984 / 1985 Unforgettable Fire tour generated four different
tour books. Each was similar in size and formating and were roughly
31cm x 25cm. Each book contained a selection of photos dating back
as far as 1982 by Anton Corbijn in black and white. Accompanying
the photographs in a handwritten style are short snippets of text about
the band, their history to date, and some direct recollections by the band.
The final page in each book listed the tour personnel credits for the leg
of the tour for which the programme was manufactured.
Each programme featured a fold out front cover. Inside these fold
outs were maps marking out the progression of the tour. Each city
recieving a concert was marked, with connecting lines between cities to
show the order of the shows. As well tour dates were marked with
information on the dates.
For more information on the differences between these tour books you can
read an article about U2's tour books as part of @U2's
Collectors Corner. Images of tour programmes provided by Carlos
Núñez. |
