| Review | This was my first U2 concert ever. I was 16 at the time. It's in a small place close to Herentals in Belgium. Many other bands in their beginning came to this club. The day of this concert was a special one, because of the anti-nuclear bomb manifestation in Brussels, which meant there was only 400 people while the capacity is about 600. The entrance was 220 BEF (4-5 US $) before and (5-6 US $) at the day. There was no support act. Some merchandising was sold: Boy t-shirts with green U2 lettering, October t-shirts, ... The concert poster was a purple one with white printing on it. About 90 % of it contains the letters U2. (Too bad my mother threw it away when was at university) I stood on the first row on the right, just before Adam Clayton. The stage over there is only 1.20 m high so his bass came above my head several times. I can't remember the setlist, but the regular songs at that time were played and i thought that they also played Tomorrow at the time. I remember one of them playing a thin whistle. It was a very energetic show, with mainly white stage light and some pink and green light. Especially October and An Cat Dubh - Into The Heart are still in my memory, but they also played Gloria, The Cry - The Electric Co, A Day Without Me, ... |
Don't ask me where to find any of the mentioned recordings. I don't have these recordings.
