I like this show very much. the band must have been in its peak level since the famous Hammersmith Palais show - equally great - was played the day after this gig. The "Pre-War" tour of Europe (December 1982) is probably my favourite ever. The band was transitioning from the early day material to the success of the War album, and in this tour they played a few things they would not perform on the 1983 tour such as Day Without Me or Celebration. You can feel the power of a young band here. Qualitywise this is ok but not perfect. It was running a bit too fast so I adjusted it to my best knowledge.

But if you like the early years of U2 you may not want to miss this one. Enjoy!
