BP
Fallon took the first three shots in Dublin's dockland
in March 1984 during preparations for The Unforgettable Fire.
He photographed the band a-top an old warehouse, Bono near
Windmill Lane Studios with some street kids and Edge
evocative playing whistle down by the river Liffey.
And the final photograph on this gallery: BP Fallon and Chrissie
Hynde and - selecting reflecting - Bono and Patsy
Dennehy and Bono's wife Ali, the night of the Pride
(In The Name Of Love) backing vocals, May 1984. On this classic
Unforgettable Fire track, BP and Chrissie and Patsy plus
Eno and Lanois and the Irish writer Bill Graham
and The Edge sang b/vs. Ah well. No-one's perfect. The picture was
taken ten years before Fallon's acclaimed 1994 book U2
Faraway So Close - which celebrates his adventures when he joined
U2 as Guru, Viber & DJ on their Zoo TV Tour.
BPF also presented Zoo
Radio, the one hour U2 radio show broadcast on 800 radio stations
in the USA and by the BBC in Britain. Written and produced by BP
and Bill Kates, Island Records made only 1000 Zoo Radio
CDs - making it the most bootlegged official U2 release ever. Additionally,
he is responsible for the BP
U2 Q&As which formed the bulk of the Zoo TV and Zooropa
tour programmes of 1992 and 1993. |
