It may not have been footage of the actual show he was talking about...

That was my first thought but the footage looks to be from a club.

The footage was from this gig performed on a rooftop outdoors near a flats complex I think... (look about 29 mins 13 secs into the timeline..)

I’ve just started watching the documentary.That clip wasn’t from a nightclub.U2Partygirl5 on Twitter I’m sure posted this from the RTE archives a while ago.It’s was some sort of street party where they played a couple of songs.I’m sure they played on the roof of some building.It may have been a community social cause of some sort.A benefit gig.The Police didn’t play,Hansard’s comments about U2 opening a show for them is probably true.That was just a visual to play.

Watching DL watch the Edge play the opening guitar riff of WTSHNN was very touching…DL reacted the same way I would have…just in awe and wanting to hear it again. Just a beautiful fan moment. DL also lived out what would probably be my ultimate fan dream…sitting in a pub in Dublin singing U2 songs with Bono and Edge - I really don’t think there could be a cooler moment as a fan.
I also found it really touching the way Bono and Edge talk about each other and their friendship - it came across much more personal and emotional than I think you typically see either of them in media.
I will definitely come back to this doc.

It wasn't footage from the gig he was talking about - you are correct. It was footage from a different gig they performed in the inner city area of Dublin on a different date.
