It is the last performance of "A Sort Of Homecoming" until 2001.
The concert is filmed for an episode of the British news program, World In Action. Featuring lots of live footage, the episode about U2 and their Irish fans, is directed by Paul Greengrass, who would later go on to become a successful feature film director.
