Jumpin' At The Woodside

Hey, found the set lists online - the Web is amazing ... 1985 - Unforgettable Fire Tour Saw them at the Philadelphia Spectrum, former home of the Flyers and Sixers. What's missing in the set list below is the band broke into "Amazing Grace" at one point. My sister Linda, who was also in attendance, mentioned that was one of her favorite parts of the show. L...
