1980-02-26 - Dublin, Ireland - National Stadium

setlist

Performance notes: After the show, U2 signed their first contract with Island Records. The performance of Cartoon World at this show is included on the Boy remaster's bonus disc. A bootleg recording of the full main set exists. A Hot Press review notes that there was a "stinging encore", The Electric Co., which is possibly the first performance of that song.

Performance

The band are full of energy and are playing well. Bono seems to be in good mood. Somthing strange happens at the start of Trevor (the early version of Touch) where a guy (probably from the audience gets on the stage and starts swearing at them. He goes away though within about 5 seconds though.

Sound

it's OK considering its a 29 year old Broadcast. Some minor prblems here and there and cackles but you can still hear it Perfectly OK.

Audience

Very U2 friendly. Except for the guy who sweared at them.

Overall

Very nice concert. Worth downloading for these non-album oldies;
Silver Lining - Speed Of Life (With Words) - Magic Carpet - Trevor - Pete The Chop - The Dream Is Over - Cartoon World and Jack In A Box. It's great to have so you can hear early U2 as some of these songs were never recorded as demos.
