What bands played the Amnesty Intl show at the Cow Pallace in 1986 ?

Question

I know U2 and Sting were on the show. Does anyone have a list of who played, and maybe even set lists?

Answer 1

Hey denniS,

A Conspiracy of Hope Tour was a short series of six benefit concerts in behalf of Amnesty International that took place in the United States during June 1986. Held not to raise funds but to increase awareness of Amnesty on its 25th anniversary of working for human rights, the shows were headlined by Sting and U2, and also featured Bryan Adams, Peter Gabriel, Lou Reed, Joan Baez, and The Neville Brothers. The latter three of the six shows featured The Police - who were not originally announced to appear.
