I'm with you -- I don't believe BIABH aired in Fall, it was on earlier than thart from what I recall in my research. (I don't have my home computer at the moment.) Erika - thank you, also. I do know it was 1989, and I believe it was Spring. Those sources may have the date of a 2nd distribution or some such thing. I remember buying it toward the end of my junior year in college.....

According to Chatterton's "U2 The Complete Encyclopedia" it was aired in August/September 91. I on the other hand have at least two audio/video sources stating April 7 as the airing date... Dunno. About Dick(Dik). I suppose you're looking for a exact date here. I've never seen anything more precise than just 1959 (Chatterton, p.69). According to Eamon Dunphy (p.70,1993 ed.), Garvin and Gwenda lived in East London until the move to Malahide in 1962 so I guess that must be the location, right?. Do you have any more info/details on the Zoo TV show? Cheers / Andreas Hi, an update on the info on “Bringing It All Back Home”.

Andreas -- MTV aired a 3-part "Zoo TV" show which probably came from the Triplecast idea, but was quite different from that idea. And thanks for all the other info - much appreciated!

Some bits of info. About the Zoo TV show. I'm not completely sure what show you are referring to. Is "3-part" in fact the Triplecast project? In that case I'm pretty sure it never happened. In a Details interview conducted by William Gibson the ideas for this show is discussed in some detail. According to Gibson, who was personally involved in the project, the broadcast was planned for spring 1994. As far as I know nothing ever came of this. And I've looked... "Bringing It All Back Home" was aired on April 7, 1991. At least the part that contained "My Wild Irish Rose". According to Bono "Love Rescue Me" was partly written at Edge's place in Beverly Hills and later finished at Dylan's place. (See; Stokes, Into The Heart) This was during their six months (February - July 1988) stay in LA, so this contradicts the Autumn 1987 theory. Cheers / Andreas (Sweden) Hi Matt! Some bits of info.
