Wow! Really jealous! The energy there was so incredible, like nothing I've seen.
The Barrowlands is essentially a dancehall with a spring-loaded wooden ballroom floor but quite a low ceiling. This all made for much 'bouncy-bouncy' and the very definition of a sweat-filled room! Condensation was literally running down the walls and dripping from the ceiling (I even remember it dripping from my elbows).
The energy in the crowd and from the band was incredible. Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill (from Simple Minds) were at the back and the crowd all spotted them & sung to them. (Bono a month later joined the Minds on-stage at the same venue for New Gold Dream which took the roof off).
We only had tickets for the first night but it was so good we went back up the next day and queued up for on-the-door tickets with probably 100 or more others. I remember a scuffle broke out in the queue as some people started singing sectarian/Irish Celtic songs. They were quickly shouted down by others dating we are U2 fans, we are not here for that, the band wild notwant it, we are better than that! We got in again having barely recovered from the previous night dehydration.
...and U2 brought the house down again.
A mere 7 months later they would conquer the world at Live Aid and everyone would know what all the fuss was about.
...and 34 years later I still want to get tickets for the next tour in 2018.
[Should really paste this in to the review section!]
You really should put that in the review section. I love hearing about other fans' experiences at their shows!
