U2 1981

In honor of the release of U218, let us turn to the wayback machine for this gem, recorded for the BBC on August 23, 1981 at the Paris Cinema Studio in London. Hindsight may be 20-20, but listening to this early performance 25 years later, was there any doubt these guys were headed for brilliance? Thanks to rbally for the files, a favorite blog that recently went into hibernation.

Happy Thanksgiving!
