FOUR WILD IRISH ROSES. Various demos and sessions from 1978 to 1981. All in excellent sound, some sounding not very much different than the released material.

JUNE 2, 2001 (2) Albany. A nice audience/IEM matrix. Delight.

JUNE 30, 2009 (2) Barcelona, Spain. Opening show of the 360 Tour. Well, it's only an acceptable taping. Bono, as always, eager to please seems to always find a way to do so. Hope they keep "Angel of Harlem" in the setlist each night. A few too many "Horizon" tunes though they seem to sound better live than on the overcooked album.
JULY 7, 2009 (2) Milan, Italy. Very good audience taping, memo to Bono, you can change the setlist and drop a couple of "Horizon" tunes. With that said, it's thoroughly enjoyable.

MAY 28, 2015 (2) West Hollywood, California. The boys at the Roxy doing a little club gig. Fun stuff.
JULY 18, 2015 (2) New York City. Nice Innocence & Experience show.
