Sweet, and I didn't know Pylon opened for them either. Those would have been some killer concerts.

little steven van zant opened for U2 at Giant's stadium, Meadowlands, N.J., 1st or 2nd leg of Joshua Tree tour. It was one the 1st times they played 'One Tree Hill' in concert (Bono dedicated it to Greg Carroll). They also played 'Silver and Gold', although I think the studio version is superior. 'Party Girl' was one of the encores.
