1. It seems full setlist is:
    The full set list at Sheriff Street was: Gloria, I Threw a Brick Through a Window, A Day Without Me, An Cat Dubh, Into the Heart, Rejoice, I Will Follow, Out of Control and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock.
    and interesting thing:"U2 at their best, playing on a community centre rooftop on Sheriff Street in north inner-city Dublin on Saturday, July 17th, 1982, at a free and unannounced gig which the band did for the locals' Inner City Looking On festival, and which I recorded.
    11 O'Clock Tick Tock was the last song U2 played that night, ending a 45-minute set performed to 300-400 people watching from the playground in front of the community centre, mostly locals, though there was a small knot of U2 fans there, as can be heard when Bono asks "Does anybody have the right time," his frequent introduction to Tick Tock.

    Documentary maker Sé Merry Doyle apparently has footage of the entire gig (with badly distorted audio). Given that Doyle will never get permission to use my Sheriff Street recording (because my audio was used without permission when the Irish Film Institute put up footage from the gig on its website in April 2019, later removing it at my request and replacing it with footage accompanied by Doyle's original, crappy audio), and on the assumption that if any other viable recording of the gig existed it would have emerged by now, U2 could, if interested, unite Doyle's footage and my audio.
    Together they would yield a complete record of a unique event in the band's history, from a time when they were still struggling to break through and when they were at the peak of the kinetic energy that was essential to their sound and to their live performances. Bono was just 22 when this gig took place, and Larry Mullen was just 20, and yet they were at their most powerful as a live act (as they had been since autumn 1980). Six months after the Sheriff Street gig they had a breakthrough with New Year's Day, and six months after that they were playing to 30,000 people as headliners of the one-day festival at the Phoenix Park racecourse.
    From the release of War, U2's vertiginous ascent over the following five years appeared inevitable; but in the summer of 1982 the mood within the band was one of optimism and confidence but also uncertainty. The Sheriff Street gig represents U2 at the end of their first phase, before they went into the studio to record War -- things could never be the same again: if they didn't break through with their third album they would likely have faced a decision to break up, as Island Records' interest in them had waned.
    The Sheriff Street performance was one of U2's most interesting from that period, as the sound was stripped back compared with their club shows from that time. Edge used his black Stratocaster exclusively that night -- no Explorer -- and he made it scream, as can be heard here. The setting made a difference too -- the sound reverberated back from the blocks of flats set behind the community centre. The set list -- an abbreviated version of the set the band had been touring in that period -- was most likely decided because of the need to use only one guitar, so the songs with different tunings got cut.
    In addition there was a party atmosphere, it was all very relaxed, which was great to experience as this was (and remains, despite development and gentrification of the area around it) an area notorious for its antisocial behaviour and deep-seated social problems.
    The next day, the band joined Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher, Paul Brady and others performing at a benefit gig for Hot Press magazine at Punchestown racecourse.
    Christine Bond took the picture above at the Sheriff Street gig; it will be removed if she objects to its use.

    This is really interesting. What's up with that "permission" thing? Is the audio recording's author saying that he won't give permission for his recording to be used anywhere unless it's U2 themselves asking for it? lol
