"We will do a commercial with Apple for our album, and no money will change hands, which is important, because we have been offered boatloads of money from many other people." — Bono

Comments: U2 plays its first concert in Russia. Fans enter to a stadium that's heavy on police and security. Before the show, U2 learns that police have shut down Greenpeace, ONE Campaign, and Amnesty International booths outside the stadium and detained several Amnesty volunteers on the grounds that they were picketing illegally. (They're later released without charge.)

Inside, it rains heavily for the first half of the show, prompting Bono to sing about the weather several times. All of the band's new songs -- except "Return of the Stingray Guitar" -- are dropped so this new audience can hear a few more of U2's big hits. Yuri Shevchuk, the lead singer of Russian band DDT, joins U2 on stage for "Knockin' on Heaven's Door." Bono announces that Mikhail Gorbachev is at the show, but that news gets only a lukewarm reception.
