This recording was made for me and you (too).

comments:
Jimi Hendrix and Sonny and Cher get a shoutout from Bono in this show.
New Year's Day is introduced as two hearts beat as one. (apparently Bono lost track of the setlist). another sold out U2 show in Boston.
it was a good show despite a few odd moments, plenty of energy and even some Bono Jackson. hey why not? at this time U2 and Michael Jackson were the hottest names in rock and pop music (along with Hall and Oates).
this appears to be the full show. all the songs are complete.
most of the encore applause was edited out of the source tape. just before "I fall down", Bono says "it's great to be back in N.Y." and is answered with a resounding chorus of boos. (the only round of boos in this show.) then he follows that by saying "this is where we live, Boston." that gets the cheering going again. Two sold out shows at the Orpheum this time, after just one in late 1981.
the U2 mania here was irrreversible by this point and out of control.
next time it was 3 shows at the Worcester Centrum. (and Boston Garden)
