Description

We're going in for a really deep dive on Achtung Baby. In the first of three parts, we pick things up with Bono's "gotta go away and dream it all up again" speech at the end of the Love Town Tour when things had started to get a little show-bizzy. We ask some pointed questions about what exactly happened between the end of the Lovetown Tour and when the band touched down in Berlin on October 3, 1990 to start recording. We go through the heavy drama of the time at Hansa Studios all the way through to the Dogtown Sessions in Dublin when the pall had finally lifted.

Into the Into the Heart of U2 Podcast is the most comprehensive dive into the history of U2 as told by folks who were there while it happened. Co-hosts, author and musician Bill See, and Melody Muraca, the founder of one of the first U2 Fanzines in the U.S., go through U2's career album by album and tour by tour, and the perception of U2 in cultural consciousness. They still care about the band, but they're concerned about their legacy. So, they're going to try and get to the bottom of whether U2 is one of the greats of all time or are the haters right after all.
