U2

By March 2, 1978, when U2 made their first television appearance on 'Youngline,' they were still navigating the early stages of their career, initially performing under the name The Hype. The band's debut album, 'Boy,' would be released later in 1980, marking a significant turning point for them. It's fascinating to think that this live recording showcases a time when they were still defining their identity, playing in RTE Studios in Dublin. This moment foreshadowed the impactful journey that followed, leading to their iconic status in rock music. It’s like listening to the first notes of a great symphony before it unfolds into something grand and exhilarating.
