U2 Tour Programmes: PopMart - Europe and Americas

Tour Legs: U2 released a world program for this tour which encompassed the first 3 legs of the tour - North America/Europe/North America. The program also had a list of "Also playing" countries for 1998. The 'Also playing' list did not have concert dates, just the names of the countries.

This is the second version of tour program and contains the corrections to the first version in terms of concerts played (there was one cancelled), as well as correcting the "Also Playing" list.

The main differences are; on Version 1 both New Zealand and Hawaii are listed as a also playing destination. Version 1 also has a concert date for 29 May 1997 in Raleigh, North Carolina. This concert was canceled due to a problem with the video screen and was not rescheduled. The Version 2 program did not have either Hawaii/New Zealand or the Raleigh concert on the concert dates pages.

Dates Covered in program:
25 Apr 1997 - 2 Jul 1997 (North America)
18 Jul 1997 - 30 Sep 1997 (Europe, including the final show in Israel)
26 Oct 1997 - 12 Dec 1997 (North America)
No. of pages: 28
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. Apart from the concert listing differences mentioned above, this program is the same as that sold on the first leg of the tour.
The difference this program has with that for Legs 4 & 5; this program does not feature and in concert photographs.
Cost: I bought this one at the Wembley concert on 23 Aug 1997. I can't remember what price I paid at the merchandise hut...maybe 2oGBP? I bought a few other items that day including the inflatable Lemon, which I still have to this day.

Again, on ebay this program can be listed anywhere from $30USD all the way up to $60USD. Unless it's a signed copy, then I'd suggest you pay no more than $35USD.
