Live From Paris is a live album recorded by U2 from a concert in Paris in 1987 promoting The Joshua Tree album.
It was originally released as a bonus DVD with the remastered The Joshua Tree album in 2007 and then a music only version was made available through iTunes in 2008. It’s also available from Amazon.co.uk but not from Amazon.com (at the time of writing).

What Other People Say About U2 Live From Paris
This hasn’t featured in any of the best ever live album lists that I’ve seen but their earlier live album Under A Blood Red Sky does. I think that’s partly because of the late and partial release of it as an album. Many people don’t know it exists and other U2 albums released through the fan club are even less well known.
There aren’t any reviews of it yet at Amazon.co.uk.
You can read some comments about the Live In Paris DVD from The Joshua Tree 2 CDs plus 1 DVD pack.
