In the '80's I worked in a record store where the assistant manager was a HUGE U2 fan. She was constantly playing the U2 collection which at that time was just Boy, October and War. I remember buying War in '83 and being very aware of their music. (I was a huge Bowie fan). They were still a 'cult' band at the time getting a lot of their airplay on college radio. I recall seeing U2 at the US festival on MTV. It was the first time I had seen anyone climb stage scaffolding! And of course there was Live at Red Rocks. It wasn't until the Unforgettable Fire was released that I understood the passion my assistant manager had for the music and the band. I remember hearing Pride for the first time. It was so uplifting and joyful. After seeing the Unforgettable Fire Documentary I realized there was something more to this band than just great music.
I recently found some magazines and a scrapbook with photos that I had collected during that time. Not sure if these were posted before. I apologize if some of them are duplicates. I thought I would share it with you since I know if anyone would appreciate them it's all of you on this fansite. Please feel free to share TUF photos and/or any recollections.
So...Welcome to the Unforgettable Fire!
