Karyn, I was at the show on the Thursday night and was lucky enough to be the young guy (back then) who Bono pulled out of the crowd to play with the band - People Get Ready. We all went back to the Ent Cent on the Saturday night to buy some memorabilia & to relive the experience. We went out the back as you described. Walked straight into Adam & The Edge. Got them to sign my program (which I bought only that night) then stood under the wall as Bono sung & signed autographs. Have lots terrible photos of the Thurs night plus some press clippings to go with my autographs & signed program. What an experience!!!!!

My first U2 show- Saturday the 23rd of September 1989.The concert was unreal, I was just blown away. BB King was special guest and he was also just amazing. After the show we waited outside the back of the Perth Entertainment Centre hoping that there may be a small chance of seeing the band leave and the most amazing thing happened Bono and Edge came out and sat on a wall out the back and signed autographs. My ticket from the show is now framed with Bono's autograph on one side and Edge on the other. Someone in the crowd had a guitar which was passed up to Bono who signed it and then played it!!! It was one of the most memorable moments in my life!!! will never forget it.
