The first of two great homecoming shows at Croke Park in Dublin from the complete Sony D6 source. There are three separate recording sources for this date that I am aware of, one has been released (partially) as "Rock's Hottest Ticket Volume 1". A second source was released as "Joshua Tree Dublin" (we'll be revisiting that source with a future release). The second half of this third Sony D6 source, beginning with "Help" has been available from a second generation tape but the first half was lost, this is that same source complete and is excellent. The original transfer ran extremely slow and has been pitch adjusted, aligned and fully mastered which came out beautifully. In addition, I've seamlessly extracted dozens of up-close whistles, yells and random annoying audience noises. 
There is also an LP release for this show with the title "Autumn Fire - The Homecoming" but, I don't have that source so I'm not sure which recording it uses. This is a tremendous hometown performance in excellent quality that I have painstakingly worked to make the very best version of this complete show available, not sure I have succeeded but I do hope you'll give it a try. Thanks to MR for supplying the transfer out of his archives. Samples and artwork provided... mjk5510
