1983-02-26 - Dundee, Scotland - Caird Hall

setlist

Performance notes: First performances of Two Hearts Beat As One, Seconds, Party Girl, and 40, and the last performance of Fire. Only time Like A Song is played. Amusingly, after Party Girl, Bono states that it was the song's "first, and probably last" performance - it has gone on to become U2's most performed b-side, with almost 200 performances to its name.

Performance

The best part of early U2 performances is how much energy these four guys bring. This show is no exception. They feel they have to prove themsekves, and I feel like they succeed. From start to finish, they give their all.

Sound

This was the lowlight of the show for me. It's listenable, but you can tell its old.
Recording: "02/26/1983 - Dundee" - 3.5 stars

Audience

I couldn't really hear much of the audience, but when I did, they sounded enthusiastic.

Overall

Great performance, but the sound just isn't that good. If you can overlook the sound, then this is a historic U2 show, with the only performance of Like a Song, plus the first performances of several War songs. If you are looking for a good sounding War bootleg, there a several other shows I would recommend before this one. But if you want a document of rare songs, then this is a must have.

Highlights: Like a Song, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Out of Control
