Good audience.

Comments:
U2's last performance of the Uk leg of the War tour is paradoxically in France, the Bourges spring festival. And what a show it is. Like Bono says during I will follow, this festival starts now! SInce this show lasts for more than an hour so there's a good chance U2 headlined this festival. Afterwhich they would take their tour Statesside. The two bonustracks are interesting too. They are from a Irish TV performance but I don't know which. Since an early version with different lyrics of Trip through your wires is played I assume it's somewhere between the Unforgettable fire and the Joishua tree. 1986 I guess. A very energetic performance. If only I knew the title of the first song that's played.
