During the 'Joshua Tree' tour, 'Rattle and Hum' film and the subsequent 'Love Town' tour, Larry was playing a Yamaha Turbo Tour Custom kit. There are a few exception to this 'rule'. One exception being the Ludwig that he can be seen playing during the "Angel Of Harlem"/Sun Studios footage, in the 'Rattle And Hum 'movie.
