Because I'm so old my first U2 concert was on October 28 in 1981 in Leiden, The Netherlands at the Stadsgehoorzaal with a sell-out crowd of 800.

Bootlegs were few and far between,but when you found a store that had a few, no matter what the cost you bought them all ,took them home and played the absolute hell out of them . no matter what the sound quality was. We remember October and the critics be dammed , but it was all we had we listened and we loved it and we still do . we can recall the very first time we hears Bono exclaim "There has been a lot of talk about this next song lately very to much talk . this song is NOT a rebel song ,...this song is sunday bloody sunday. Yes do you remember it all you old fogies out there. we have what a lot of these guys don't memories apon memories , I could go on and on and on "am I buggin you ... Don't mean to bug you..ok edge play the blues.. so stand up and let your voices be heard tell your tales and let these kids in on what it was like all those years ago. there are "kids" on this site That I have the utmost respect and admiration for , and they havent even seen a show Utube and dvds that is there live experience. DIEHARDS thats what we are . wev'e lived through it all and still are here , even after POP . long live you all and long live U2
