U2 Popmart Tour 1997 USA Advance Itinerary

After the massive ZOO TV no one expected to see a bigger U2 show but we all were wrong. U2 took a huge supermarket on the road under the Popmart name.

Once again they travelled all around the world on 4th legs from USA to South Africa, starting in 1997 and closing the tour on March 1998.

Four legs would mean a minimum of four itinerary books but this time U2 management also released some Advance Itinerary books. I have found 2 different Advance itineraries so, as far as I know there are 6 books from this tour, maybe more.....

So I would have to begin the Popmart entries with the Advance itinerary that was issued for the first american leg of Popmart.
It comes with a black front cover that includes Popmart logo and Advance Itinerary text printed in orange. US First Leg and the dates from April 25th to July 7th can be read under that  text.

Also to be noticed that this book comes with wire bound instead of the usual spiral bound.

From the original concerts list included in this book, three concerts were never confirmed (June 4th at Giants Stadium, 9th in Philadelphia and a final concert in Boston on July 4th). Those three shows won't even appear on the 1st leg itinerary.

In addition, U2 played at Tibetan Freedom Concert on June 7th which was probably not confirmed when printing the book.

Also some stadiums that appear on the list were later changed. It happens for exemple in cities as Texas, Clemson, Ohio or Oakland.

At the end of the book a few blank pages for taking notes are left.
