On the second night after "Trying To Throw Your Arms Around The World", Bono escorts the dancing girl off the stage and back into the crowd. He sighs, "Bye, hello, goodbye...the story of my life..," misquoting "The Beatles" song "Hello, Goodbye". During "Sattelite of Love", Lou Reed's image is flashed on the screens -- allowing Bono to duet with him for the rest of the tour. The version of "Love Is Blindness" performed tonight appears on the "Stay(Faraway, So Close)" single released in 1993. Support is B.P. Fallon, "Primus" and "Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy".

"POPMart" tour - august 30, 1997. U2 perform in Dublin, Ireland. Forty thousand tickets sold out in 40 minutes. U2 returns home for the first of two shows at Dublin's Lansdowne Road stadium -- shows which were in jeopardy for months while local residents protested the use of the residential stadium, and only approved by the Irish Supreme four weeks earlier. U2 pays for many local residents to vacation out of Dublin for the weekend, and those who choose to stay home are given free tickets to see the shows. As the band begins "Even Better Than the Real Thing," Bono mentions the struggle by telling the crowd, "We pulled it off! Paddy Power!" Later in the show, he announces "I wouldn't have you in MY back yard, either!"
