Was it put out on UK radio? A friend taped it from Irish radio, I in turn copied his tape. I didn’t go to concert, I had exams on.


Edit: ah yes it was a worldwide broadcast. Typical grandiosity.

Me to. I’m still proud of my skills getting the cut right for when the tape ended. End of side 1 was before Angel of Harlem…forwarded the tape….flipped it over… hit record before he did the wedding march for Adam Clayton. Good times.
