The Joshua Three

U2 On The Roof Where The Streets Have No Name 36 Years Ago

Posted on by JL

Global rock stars U2 released their magnum opus
The Joshua Tree 36 years ago today, on 9 March 1987.

One of the sublime hit singles on it was WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAME.
A video clip for the song was shot on a roof in Los Angeles drawing thousands
of people cheering.

U2 played an 8-song set with 4 versions of the single. Eventually, the police ordered
the band and their crew to stop and leave as the crowd became to big to handle.

Relive the euphoria at play.

U2 Topped UK Albums Chart With ‘THE JOSHUA THREE’ 35 Years Ago

Back In Time

21 March 2022

THE JOSHUA TREE, the Irish rockers’ fifth album, produced by Daniel Lanois and
Brian Eno made them global celebrities. The record was inspired by their American
tour experiences, relating literature and Uncle Sam’s politics, and probably because
of their desire to be massive in the U.S.

It reached the top spot in several European countries, in New Zealand,
in Canada and (of course) in the UK where U2 hit numero uno this day
in 1987, 35 years ago.
