comment: Bono brings a fan on stage to play guitar during I Fall Down and shows him the chords to the song. The fan instead decides to play Smoke on the Water and Bono joins in with a few lyrics before resuming I Fall Down.

comment: After playing the same set at their first four Japanese shows, U2 alter the set for their third Tokyo concert. Although only one substitution is made, A Celebration for Party Girl, it is a notable substitution as A Celebration hadn't been performed for eight months and twelve days.

11/30/1983 Nakano Sun Plaza - Tokyo, Japan
Gloria, I Threw a Brick Through a Window, A Day Without Me, An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart, Surrender, Two Hearts Beat as One, Seconds, Sunday Bloody Sunday, The Cry / The Electric Co. / Send in the Clowns (snippet), I Fall Down, October, New Year's Day, Out of Control
encores: A Celebration, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, 40
comment: For their final Japanese show, U2 shake up the set. Although Out Of Control opened the previous five shows, Gloria opens this one and I Threw A Brick and A Day Without Me are played for the only time in Japan. A Celebration, which had re-appeared the previous night, is played again tonight, with Bono claiming that with the exclusion of the previous night's performance, it hadn't been played in 1.5 years (it was actually played in March 1983). This turns out to be the last performance of A Celebration ever.
