U2 has performed 635 concerts featuring songs from Rattle And Hum.
Rattle and Hum was the sixth studio album by U2, released October 10, 1988, although it also featured as selection of live recordings taken from the movie of the same name. The movie, “Rattle and Hum” was a documentary following U2 around America during the Joshua Tree tour, filmed by director Phil Joanou. Many of the studio album tracks are included in the film as we witness U2 recording and rehearsing these new songs. Jimmy Iovine was the producer of the album. The cover of the album features Bono shining a spotlight on the Edge during a performance.
Live material used in the album included “Helter Skelter”, “All Along the Watchtower”, “Silver and Gold”, “Pride (In the Name of Love)”, and “Bullet the Blue Sky”. These performances were taken from performances in Tempe Arizona on December 19th and 20th 1987, San Francisco California on November 11, 1987 and Denver Colorado on November 7th and 8th 1987.
Four singles were issued from Rattle and Hum. These included “Desire”, “Angel of Harlem”, “When Love Comes to Town” and “All I Want is You”. “Desire” became U2’s first single to chart #1 in the UK Singles chart.
The album Rattle and Hum reached number 1 on the US Bilboard 200 Chart, and also reached number 1 on the UK Album chart.
The film that accompanied this album has been released for the home video market with releases on videocassette, laser disc, DVD, HD-DVD, and Blu Ray.
