Comments: Promotional material in Melody Maker refers to U2 as "V2". Admission cost £1.50. The cast has been removed from Edge's hand following the previous shows where he needed to wear it.
A report on this show in Record Mirror mentions the set included a song called Boy Meets Man - and although this may initially seem to be a mistaken title for Twilight, Twilight is correctly named in the very same sentence. It is unknown what the reporter was referring to. This is also the first known concert performance of Twilight, though a February 1979 demo session reveals that it had existed for at least ten months before this show and in all likelihood it was played live repeatedly before this date.
