Round 3: Name That Photo

April 26th, 2008

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!

    A similar photo, apparently from same photo session, is captioned “First American tour, Chicago 1982″ in an old Rolling Stone magazine. Based on tour dates, I’d guess it’s most likely from Chicago April 1981, the weather is too nice in the photo to be from Chicago shows in December 1981 or February 1982.

    A nearly identical photo appears on the cover of Melody Maker dated Nov 10, 1984. The article references following the band from Nantes to Paris, so probably one of the live shows from this timeframe in October 1984.

    By the way - all the REX photos have the year around the photo - http://www.u2diary.com/pix1/rex_102557d.jpg looks like it says 1983, and http://www.u2diary.com/pix1/rex_112049b.jpg says 1984.

    Thx guys. We’re well aware that the year is on a couple of the photos. And I can come up with a year for most of the others. But we need DATES. :-)
