Hello Wirefriends! (it's been a long time)

I went to a record show this morning and apart from spending way too much
money I found an interesting U2 bootleg, called JOSHUA TREE IN FLAMES. I
checked FLOM but there's no review in it, so I'll tell you about it now.
Especially because it's so cool! :-)

It has the full recording of the April 4, 1987 Joshua Tree show in Tempe,
AZ (with the *first* ever live performance of With Or Without You). It's
the same as GOVERNOR MECHAM & MLK (same quality too as far as I can tell),
except for the bonus tracks. For it has two songs (Lucille and Lost
Highway) performed by The Dalton Brothers. I'd never seen these songs on a
bootleg before. Needless to say, they're hilarious. ;) Bono (Alton
Dalton) and The Edge (Luke Dalton)'s attempts at tryin' to speak with thick
Texan accents are *priceless*. I just about peed my pants when I first
heard it. The sound quality's surprisingly good as well!

I'll write a review later and send it to Mike Gentile. If anyone's
interested, I (think I) can make RealAudio files of the Dalton songs and
put them on my webpage.

Steve
