U2-A Diary

Just received an email from Sarah at Omnibus. She tells me they’re a bit short on photos from 1990 and 1991 for U2 – A Diary.

Do you have any good ones? If so, please contact me right away!

Thanks!

This isn’t in the book. (sigh) Anyone have a clue when/where this was recorded? (Warning: F-bomb early on)

The hair looks like Elevation-era Bono to me. What’s that logo in the upper right? RAI — that’s Italian TV, right?

Any clues greatly appreciated!

You guys are so good at this, we’re gonna do it again. Sarah at Omnibus has sent me a bunch of photos that don’t have a date. These might be included in U2: A Diary, but we really need to know when (and where, if possible) the pictures were taken.

Some of these are quite obvious in general — “Oh, that’s the Joshua Tree Tour” — but we need to be as specific as possible so photos can be placed at the right spot in the diary/timeline.

If you can help us narrow down the dates on any of these photos, please reply in the comments of this post. And be sure to include the FILENAME so I know which photo you’re talking about.

Sound good?

Here they are: http://www.u2diary.com/pix1/

Thanks in advance!

Now that we’ve solved the first case of “When/Where Was This Photo Taken?” (thanks Mary!), how about we give it another try?

This is like “Ask the Audience” on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. I don’t know the answer, but the intelligent audience might be able to help. :-)

Here’s another photo in consideration for U2: A Diary that we need a date and location for, if possible.

If you know, or have an intelligent guess, please speak up in the comments. Thanks in advance!

Have a look at this, please:

Sarah, the photo editor at Omnibus, asked me if I knew when or where this photo was taken. The caption included with the photo only says, Bono on stage, cutting up an American flag and throwing it back into audience.

First, that’s a white flag, not an American flag. Other than that, the main question is … when and where was this taken?

I gave Sarah a guess, but thought I’d turn to you, the ultra-smart U2 fans following this blog, to see if you know more about the photo than I do. I’m guessing you do. :)

Let me know in the comments, please!
