Today 37 years (and 3 days) ago

Unfortunately I missed the exact day, but I walked against this article vid: http://festileaks.com/2017/10/16-oktober-1980-eerste-show-u2-nederland/

They're playing Electric Co. and I Will Follow. If you're interested in the article, it says mainly this: they played their first concert at the Melkweg in The Netherlands when the album wasn't even released. In the video you see them playing for a radiostation called KRO. U2 played for 100 man.

I think without this video I wouldn't get I Will Follow in Amsterdam this tour. Bono said: You owe this one. Here in The Netherland was one of our first big moments. He was referring to this, I think. Glad I found this .

This is nice, too.

Wow...very cool. Thanks for posting...

This is nice, too.

Hahah Bono is demented in this! Fabulous stuff. I LOVE their early live career, and have collected around 100 shows from the first three tours. I listen to them more than any other tour recordings.

They're having so much energy. But it's a shame they didn't play their other albums in that era  .

Good point, JFW...can you just imagine AB or Pop, with that kind of energy? whew.

It's a special era. Even if they play those songs now, even on TJT17, it's lifting you up. It might be punk?
