The tour was scheduled to wrap up with 5 successive nights at Dublin's Point Depot, with the final concert starting at midnight on new years eve.

No. of pages: 48 pages

Size: 31cm x 25cm

Printing: Printed on thickish glossy pages with a glued and stitched spine rather than the familiar staples. Pictures throughout are mostly different to the previous 2 versions of this program from the Australia/New Zealand and Japanese legs of the tour. There are more photo's of live concert action taken from the previous leg of the tour which makes this program distinct from the other 2 versions

Cost: I ended up buying 2 of these on ebay around the same time. One for 25GBP and the other for 26GBP. Like most programs for sale on ebay for this tour, sellers seldom list which version they are selling. For simplicity, on page 36 of this program (opposite page of the 'Bringing it all back home" article), there is a picture of the whole band with a caption 'USA 1986'.
