Axver said:OK, new guess.
Bono wanted to play it at the shows they tentatively planned to do in South America in 1987 (due to the thematic relevance), but as those shows were cancelled, the song obviously was not played.
close enough.
The answer is Buenos Aires Argentina in February 1988, the Joshua Tree tour was going to close there and they were going to shoot Rattle And Hum (the color footage) there and not Tempe. But they found it was going to be to expensive to film there so it was scrapped and they shot in Tempe instead. Then the tour itself down there got scrapped (along with Australia) to work on the new material for Rattle and Hum. Bono wanted to end the film with Mothers Of The Disappeared in Argentina (for obvious reasons) and commented that it would become the new closer for future U2 shows. Obviously never happened, which is almost to bad IMO.
