From The Unforgettable Fire Tour I have seen 4 slightly different tour programs. They all have a different fold-out cover, but the content is almost the same. In the inside fold-out covers you find a map of the regions with the cities and a list of the tour dates. All pictures are made by Anton Corbijn. Then there's a U2 history, and after that the personnel for that part of the tour. Most of these programs are not so hard to find. I would estimate their value at about $10 - $15 US. However, the Australian one is much rarer than the others, so its price will be higher. They all measure 9 1/2" by 12" inches.

It's 32 pages long cover included. The map on the front inside fold-out cover is the European map, and the Australian and New Zealand maps on the back inside fold-out cover. I saw this program sold as a UK tour program. Inside you find pictures of USA, Sweden, Ireland, Paris, Torhout (Only here entitled "LIVE"). The discography ends with Summer 1984 and contains a picture of Brian Eno, which is not shown in the other 3 programs. The Personnel page only mentions the New Zealand and Australian promotors. |

It's 44 pages long cover included. The map on the front inside fold-out cover is the European map, and a North American map on the back inside fold-out cover. Inside you find pictures of USA, here titled New Orleans and Houston, Sweden, Ireland, Paris, Torhout (Only here untitled). The discography ends with December 1984. The Personnel page mentions the European and United States promotors. |

It's 52 pages long cover included. The map on the front inside fold-out cover is a North American, and an American East Coast map on the back inside fold-out cover. Inside you find pictures of USA, here titled New Orleans and Houston, Sweden, Ireland, Paris, Torhout. There is also a double page with three pictures from the Pride video shoot in St. Francis Xavier Hall, which also appears in the next program. The discography is spread over 4 pages and ends with February 1985. This program and the next contain the text: "I don't think it's that important, the big hit single. It's not as if we've opted for the 'pop' format. 'New Year's Day' is one in a succession of what, I believe, are classic records, '11 O'Clock Tick Tock', 'I Will Follow', 'Gloria', 'A Celebration', not one of them has been a 'pop' single. 'Pop' singles are very boring - pap is probably a better word. So I would contest the fact that it has been very important for us." I don't think they already knew the title of their 1997 album. |

It's 52 pages long cover included. The map on the inside of the front cover is a European, and on the back inside fold-out cover there's a roundup of all concerts (New Zealand 1984 to North America 1985). Inside you find pictures of USA, here titled New Orleans and Houston, Sweden, Ireland, Paris, Torhout. There is also a double page with three pictures from the Pride video shoot in St. Francis Xavier Hall, which also appears in the previous program. The discography is spread over 4 pages and ends with June 1985. This one is very similar to the previous one. |
