The South American leg saw concerts in Brazil, Argentina and a first time visit to Chile. The 5th leg of the tour U2 performed in Ausralia, Japan and a first visit to South Africa. These rest of the world concert dates (from South America to South Africa) all took place in less than 2 months at the beginning of 1998, with the crew having to ship, assemble and dismantle the massive stage set at 12 different concert venues over the 15 dates.
Dates Covered in program: 27 Jan 1998 to 21 Mar 1998
Concert dates not listed in program:
16 Mar 1998 - Greenpoint Stadium, Cape Town, South Africa was added to the tour after the program was set for print
No. of pages: 28 pages
Size: 30.5cm x 24.5cm
Printing: Printed on high gloss crisp card paper. The metallic looking 'Pop' insignia on the cover if perforated and there is a pop up Edge cut out on the inside back cover fold out.
The program is the same as the previous 2 released for this tour, with the exception of 4 pages. In this program on those 4 pages there are different photo's used, mostly to capture in concert pictures that weren't seen on the first 2 Pop programs.
Cost: I paid $45USD for this one on ebay from a seller in Japan. Of the 3 programs for the PopMart tour, this one is the possibly the hardest to find as it was only on sale at 15 concerts. If you are collecting, my tip is to ask the seller to send you a photo of the tour itinerary page (as per pic 4 shown here). As a rough guide, you should be able to pick this program up from anywhere between $35USD and $60USD from the normal selling sites.
