From the Vault: Listen to U2 perform songs from 'The Joshua Tree' in Boston on this day in 1987:
In terms of Irish rock bands, it doesn’t get much bigger than U2. It’s hard to imagine hearing the band’s anthemic rock songs in person anywhere else but a stadium. Albums like 1983’sshowcased Bono’s socially conscious lyrics and larger-than-life falsetto as well as The Edge’s carefully crafted guitar lines and unique tones. Before cultivating their stadium-rock sound, the band’s origins were rooted in post-punk with their first two full-lengths,.
Wolfgang’s Vault writer Alan Bershaw recounted the importance of the band’s two 1987 performances in Boston: In terms of U2’s popularity in America, no city played a greater role than Boston, which embraced the band early on and never let go. Recorded on the Joshua Tree Tour, when U2 was arguably near the peak of their powers, this remarkable recording captures the second night of U2’s two-night stand in Boston.
