Notes: 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.

Notes: Extra songs on my copy of the show: 17. Knockin' On Heaven's Door 18. Invisible Sun 19. Stand By Me Fuzzy in some places (cmon it is a realyl early show), but a great and classic U2 show, with early songs not heard on later recordings. Probably taken from the Chelsea Records disc.
