Hello, and welcome to WikiProject U2's March Newsletter! This month's theme is The Unforgettable Fire. Enjoy!

- The Album
- The Unforgettable Fire was released on October 1, 1984.
- It was far more ambient and abstract than War, U2's previous album, and was the band's first major change in musical direction.
- It was U2's first collaboration with Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.
- The album took its name from an art exhibition of art by survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.
- During the Unforgettable Fire Tour, U2 performed at Live Aid, where Bono jumped off the stage to dance with a fan who was being crushed against the barrier during an epic 12-minute version of "Bad".
- The singles from the album were "Pride (In the Name of Love)" and "The Unforgettable Fire".
