1981-06-09 - London, England - Hammersmith Palais

setlist

Performance notes: Second and last known live performance of Carry Me Home, a rough unreleased U2 original with lyrics consisting almost entirely of "carry me home". It was believed for years prior to 2010 that this was the sole performance of Carry Me Home. Bruce Springsteen and Pete Townshend both attended this gig and met with the band afterwards.

Performance

PROS

--I Fall Down was good as usual. By far one of the most underrated U2 songs.
--I Will Follow was amazing! Is it just me, or was this song way more exciting during the Boy Tour?
--The Electric Co. is an all-time favorite of mine, and the Yankee Doodle snippet fit well in the middle/end of the song.
--Things to Make and Do makes a rare appearance
--Stories For Boys great. I think it's obvious that this was a live staple during the early days.
--Great band performance



CONS

--Audio quality left a little to be desired, but still a decent recording for 26 years ago.
--Boy-Girl is atrocious. Never been a fan of this song
--Not a big fan of Fire
