Maybe from the LoveTown tour? - you'll have to give some more info. Whats' the "folk" song you are refering to?
I assume when you say "in the beginning Bono speaks over America Australia and than comes the song" you mean
Bono says something like "Outside it's America, outside it's Australia" as he would at the end of Bullet the Blue Sky,
which has usually preceeds Running To Stand Still in concert.

So try searching "Love Town" and Running To Stand Still" and "Australia".

the live song begins with

Australia great brittan America let stay right here shall we


than begin the song's music

and than begins the real song

running to stand still live in concert
with people clapping in a rithem

at the end after Bono played on his harmonica

i kiss my work
by the fat screen broad
dirty old town dirty old town

i hope i did translate it good
and if you want the mp3 i can send it by email

i hope somebody have this video with this complete song

the reason for this all is this

when my wife was preganant and lost after 6 months the baby
i heart this song
and i put a lot of strenght out of it

all the other live versions are not like this one
because of the sort of song
and at the end the public who give you a sort of boost

Ok, I've narrowed it down for you. Dirty Old Town was played only five times (as a snippet at the end of Running To Stand Still) during the Love Town Tour:

· 1989-12-27 - Dublin
· 1989-12-30 - Dublin
· 1989-12-31 - Dublin
· 1990-01-05 - Rotterdam
· 1990-01-09 - Rotterdam

But since Bono says "This is where we live" then I would guess it's one of the Dublin shows.

There should be bootlegs available of all these concerts, but the New Years Eve one was broadcast
live across Europe, so that will be easiest to get. It has also been released on iTunes.

PS: I do have a CD copy of the NYE concert, but not with me right now. it's in NZ, and I'm in Australia.
I'll be in NZ next week though, so if I remember I'll make a copy of the song for you. Otherwise, you might
be lucky and another member here might already have an mp3 version they can send you.

This is on You Tube - comes close to what you were saying, but it's only a video of the audio.



can't find anything else at the mo.

This is the same one, different pics...



I'm guessing video will be hard to find considering the size of the camcorders back then!

[kiwigene]

Yeah, I'm not aware of any video of those concerts. Unlikely to be full versions if there are and it'd be "pot luck" if you managed to find footage where someone actually filmed Running To Stand Still and Dirty Old Town together. Video bootlegs were few and far between in the 80's...

thnx for all the information
it wasn't in rotterdam because i was there myself
so it has to be in Dublin if you narrow it ok

i don't no if you can send me the request by email
but i will send it if possible
