Notes: U2 National Stadium Dublin, Ireland February 26, 1980. This is a soundboard recording of a very early U2 show. The quality is decent, but not stellar. Having said that, the energy and setlist of this show make it a must-have for any fan of early U2. Even at this early stage, their talent and appeal is evident. It includes a number of songs that were never officially released, or early versions of songs that appeared later on their first releases. On introducing "Another Day" Bono talks about the CBS single, hinting that it "won't be out on the CBS label for long, I can tell you that story later"; U2 reportedly signed with Island Records after the show ended. This is most likely a clone of the bootleg CD "My Hometown" (Chelsea Records), but I didn't get this information directly from the person I traded with. I obtained SHNs of this show back in 2000, and the full setlist matches the tracks listed as being on "My Hometown"; however the length of this show differs slightly from that listed for "My Hometown". Not sure about story behind the discrepency. 1. Silver Lining (aka '11 O'Clock Tick Tock', but with different lyrics, slightly different chords) (intro cut, fades in) 2. The Speed of Life 3. The Magic Carpet 4. Stories for Boys (original guitar chords) 5. Trevor (aka 'touch', with early lyrics) 6. Another Time, Another Place 7. Another Day 8. Pete The Chop 9. The Dream Is Over 10. Cartoon World (Bono introduces song as 'Mrs. Brown') 11. Jack In The Box 12. Shadows And Tall Trees 13. A Day Without Me 14. Twilight 15. Boy-Girl 16. Out of Control
