Per Pimm:

"A live session for 'The Tube' includes performances by Big Country, The Undertones, and U2. Bono is interviewed briefly before starting a five song set in front of a small studio audience. U2's official fan club in the UK, 'U2 Info', has invited fifty members from the Newcastle area to attend. The group perform before the War backdrop and the flags and there is a catwalk running into the crowd which Bono frequently uses. During I Will Follow around 25 fans jump on stage, resulting in a joyous dance across the catwalk. Two days later the first three songs are broadcast, while I Will Follow is aired on June 24, 1983. The performance of 40 remains unknown"

This is a two-for-one torrent, since the disc was sent to me this way...the quality on the Newcastle set is 3.5/5, but maybe only 2.5/5 for the London set.

I cannot find any descriptions of the Victoria Apollo show at other web sites other than the setlist archive, so if you don't insist upon sb quality, this is a nice rarity to add to your collections...which also means there is no existent cover art. Video from the Tyne Tees show has shown up on some compilation DVD's such as White Flags Over Europe.
