"The Joshua Tree" tour - september 10, 1987. U2 perform the first of the "Joshua Tree' third leg tour shows in Uniondale, New York at Nassau Veterans' Memorial Coliseum. It is the first time that the band have performed on the anniversary of Bono's mother's death. After the opening song, "Bullet The Blue Sky", U2 perform the Beatle's "Helter Skelter". "One Tree Hill" is performed for the first time, to the delight of the audience. Backstage, Bono had expressed reservations about performing the song in public, and the band was unsure whether they would perform it until Bono motioned for them to do so. The song is performed with raw power and emotion. Support is Mason Ruffner.
