[MikeTheU2Freak]

[austria1986]

[boxpine69]

dermot51, your a fucking tube, stop wankin off in your mums front bedroom, and get a life, you fucking excuse for a human being!

[dermot51]

Whats with this Mandela cunt i hate music interacting with politics so patronising unless of course your The Clash then it makes total sense piss off Kerr you fake cunt and take that Bono fucker with you

[alternatereality85]

@manpiano09 - More songs were broadcast too, but the guy who recorded it had several power outages that night as was pretty common at the time in Brazil he told me.

[manpiano09]

@alternatereality85 -Could you somehow upload the Rio 88 A&K-version as audio tune here? or send it to me via email? would be great to get a taste of what it was like! thx

[alternatereality85]

@manpiano09 - Yeah only audio though. I managed to trade some SM material for a 60 min tape of an FM broadcast of SM at the Hollywood Rock Festival from a friend in Brazil back in the 90's, I no longer have the cassette, but did transfer the show to my PC. The setlist that was broadcast is Come A Long Way, King Is White And In The Crowd, Oh Jungleland, Big Sleep, Ghostdancing, Don't You (Forget About Me), Promised You A Miracle, Alive And Kicking.

THANKS for All your comments, I have had a great read. It would be wrong to delete this video now.

I only posted these videos because I could not find them on Youtube, and maybe someone else was looking too.

Click the video for widescreen.

god time

[bilfred1967]

Wonderfuuuullll !!!

[manpiano09]

Among the best Alive & Kicking performances ever, what a bombastic sound! "Are you ready? Come on then.... let's go!"

[alternatereality85]

@manpiano09 Yeah I have to say definitely one of the best A&K performances together with the version in Rio earlier, A&K at its very best.  Since then, for me its kind of been on autopilot, nice, but nowhere near as good as this version here. Magic.

[manpiano09]

@alternatereality85 : never saw the Rio-version of A&K you mentioned. I saw "Promised you a miracle" and "Sanctify" from Rio 88... do you have A&K of that show?

[dermot51]

@manpiano09 your a twat do you not realise they had become  a shit band by this stage you moron

[hobdinobdibonk]

was at this concert and a year later at the stadium great great street fighting years tour , wembley arena on sat 29th was the best since then

[brianos34]

Saw them last night at Wembley Arena.

They performed 24 tracks including every track from New Gold Dream. Utterly brillaint. They even did Chelsea Girl.

Love them.

[hotox1968]
