I always liked their gig recorded live at Red Rocks natural ampitheater in Colorado best. They were touring for "Boy" I think and it was just before they really hit and became mega-superstars. Amazingly beautiful setting, the band sounded awesomeand the crowd was so into it...


I'm more than a little concerned about the statement aboutthis becoming a U2 site, though. It doesn't sound that far-fetched to me, seeing as a U2 crazy is at the helm! Thanks for the link, Emmett.

I have that gig on 2 tapes ...half of the first one is taken up with whichever DJs were presenting the show, talking crap and playing dodgy music and then of course I had to change tapes mid-gig and it's all a bit messy. I've not listened to it in ages but I'll need to go rake the tapes out now and get all nostalgic.

oooh I love this U2 show [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img] . My older brother is a big U2 fan as well and he has this gig on cd. When we were both still living at home I always stole it from him, but I hadn't heard it in a really long time now. So thanks for that link [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

Apparently Jo Whiley will be doing a show with U2 in their Dublin studio sometime within the next month. Not sure of the exact date but it should be annonced quite soon on Radio1...

I listened to my old tapes of the gig today ...the actual gig was a lot longer than what's been played on the Radio 1 site ...they've missed out the encores entirely....still it was nice looking backand itwas quite a historical time in European politics too - strange to hear all those old countries mentioned.
