U2

On October 22, 1979, U2 performed a passionate set at the Cork Opera House, which was part of their early days as a rising rock band. This show came shortly after their debut album, 'Boy,' was released earlier that same year. 'Boy' introduced the world to U2's signature sound, characterized by The Edge's soaring guitar riffs and Bono's evocative lyrics. It was a pivotal moment in their career, helping to establish their presence in the post-punk scene. Interestingly, this live recording showcases the band's youthful energy and burgeoning talent, as they were just beginning to capture the attention of music lovers both in Ireland and beyond. It's a glimpse into a time when they were still gracing smaller venues before rising to global stardom.
