"The Joshua Tree" tour - september 22, 1987. U2 perform in Foxboro, Massachusetts at Sullivan Stadium. The "Stand By Me" entrance is used for the last time--the crowd even know how to react when the song stars playing over the speakers. Bono's arm is in a sling, due to the injury sustained at the concert on September 20th, 1987 in Washington, D.C.. As a result, he avoids doing anything strenuous and during "Bullet The Blue Sky" a roadie holds a spotlight on The Edge. Support is "The Poges", and Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul.

"LoveTown" tour - september 22, 1989. The Lovetown tour kicks off in Australia, with the first of three sold-out gigs in the Perth Entertainment Centre. This second night, part of Bob Marley's "Exodus" is added to "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". During "Angel of Harlem", Elvis Presley's "Suspicious Minds" is added at the end of the song. B.B. King is introduced as"[the] Monster of Blues". Bono and B.B. trade lines through "Angel of Harlem"--Bono: "B.B. invented the blues, and then he found a cure for the blues!" B.B.: "The cure is love...is there love in the house tonight? Is there enough love to make us not hurt each other? Is there enough love to make us wantt to help each other?" The crowd respond loudly, and B.B. adds, "Then there is love in this house tonight!" The Australian band "Weddings Parties Anything" and B.B. King support.

'U2 records 10 sellouts for Elevation's 3rd leg' - september 22, 2001. Ten of the 11 Elevation concerts which go on sale today are logged as sellouts.

Bono reveals plans for 'Red'-campaign (symbolising the AIDS emergency) - September 22, 2005 - Bono is furious about the G8 outcome, but blames the lack of a movement: 'People say, are you upset after the G8, you didn't get this, this and this - of course I am. I am furious. But they blame the politicians. I blame us. We don't have the movement yet.' U2's frontman analyses the results of the G8 meeting with British economist and activist Noreena Hertz in an extensive interview for VPRO's current afairs show Tegenlicht ('Backlight'). Bono talks to Hertz about the results of the G8 summit in Gleneagles this summer and his continuing work as a lobbyist. He also reveals his plans for the new 'Red-campaign', which asks companies such as Apple and Nike to produce red coloured products, symbolising the AIDS emergency. The interview is part of the VPRO Tegenlicht documentary 'Noreena's Agenda', which will be broadcast on Dutch television on September 25.
