It wasnt
It was a benefit show at the Dominion Theatre in London called "Smile Jamaica" for victims of the recent hurricane which had devastated the island. Took place on 16/10/88
U2 had just released Rattle & Hum a week or so earlier, and Keith was in town to do some promotional work for "Talk is Cheap". U2 played 4 songs off the new album, Keith coming out for the last two - When Love Comes To Town and Love Rescue Me (the latter also featured Ziggy Marley). The last track was actually officially released as a bonus track on the 12' version of the 'Angel of Harlem' single.
Channel 4 in the UK broadcast the show "live". I remember watching it - it was a great surprise when Bono shouted "Where's my mate Keith Richards?" and out he came.
Havent watched that in ages. Loved it,
