Notes that came with this recording:

LDB Special Series #77

Hello! Here is a new series from my collection. After the Master Series, 
here is the Special Series.  Out of my 6,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, 
I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to 
propose you. Most of these come from my cassettes collection, so they will 
be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be 
disappointed!

I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, 
as always, your feedback and comments will be my reward for all the work 
involved in this project.

I was only once at the Brixton Academy to see a show and was surprised how 
could U2 play such a small venue for their status in 1984/1985. This is the 
second night in the same venue but clearly not enough for public demand, 
so at the end of the tour they played once more in the Wembley arena. But 
this is nice one, quite 'intimate' gig and especially with a terrific sound.
I traded this tape in the early 90's directly from the taper, so this one 
is sourced from a 1st generation. The band really rocks! I preferred the 1984 
part of the Unforgettable Fire tour, although my first time with the band 
was in Milano the year after. I would rate this recording a solid 9+, you 
won't be disappointed. Wanna some U2? Here we go!!!!
