setlist

Performance notes: After winning the Harp Lager Talent Contest in March 1978 and receiving the chance to record a demo funded by CBS, U2 play a studio set on an unknown date in April 1978. The session came to an end after Larry's father arrived. Night Fright and Inside Out are the only two songs definitively known to have been recorded at this session. Sources are unclear as to what the other two songs are; some list Concentration Cramp and Hang Up! in addition to Night Fright (sometimes labelled under the name Tonight) and Inside Out. Bootlegs containing recordings of Trevor and Jack in a Box are purported to be from this session, but the differing audio quality and live appearances of both lead us to believe they were from a session in February 1980.

Performance

It's nice to see U2 this early on in their progression, playing old songs that most of us have never heard until now.

Sound

For 1978 studio demos, the sound is quite good.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

No audience, studio recording.

Overall

I've had this on my iPod for the longest time and only realized today that U2Start didn't have it, so I promptly uploaded to share with you good good people. I thought I had downloaded it from here, but I guess not
Anyways, the songs sound pretty good to me, like they would fit right in on Boy. If U2 had further developed some of these demos, they could have almost made Boy a double-album. But, it's also nice to have these little gems hidden away just for the real fans to enjoy.
