| J-Card Comment | The interview was held in Manchester in November 1984 when U2 played two shows at the Apollo on November 9th and 10th. The interviewer was called Tony Mac... who claimed that he saw U2 at the Manchester Polytechnic in 1980 (May 30th or October 9th?) when they played to an audience of nine people. They talked about: - the possibility to play in such a small venue like the Apollo again, - playing in bigger venues, - the work with Brian Eno, - touring to promot the "Unforgettable Fire" album, - details of the recording sessions and their feelings during the sessions, - Bono's voice as an extra instrument, - the peace exhibition, - the demo version of the album and it's difference to the studio version, - album critics like the "NME" ("...worst band in the world..."), - the song "Bad" and it's title (it was only a working title which became the real title in the end), - a second single of the album, - the plans to re-record a track for a single, - recording "4th of July" live in the studio, - their plans for one off show in 1985, - their plans for an album in early 1986. This is my favourite interview because you can hear some in depth analysis of the interviewer. |
