Don't have time right now for details but I've seen them in 84, 85? and a glimpse of them in an 83 show, details to follow in a few days.

I've been rocking oiut to great bands live for some years before U2, so I know a good/potentially great live act when i see one, plus with the strength of songs on [then] vinyl! So I wouldn'y have kept seeing them if I hadn't been impressed on both aspects, recordings and live!

Not me! But a friend of mine saw them in Dec. of 1981 here in town (Grand Rapids, Michigan) at the Fountain Street Church.

i saw them in 97. i've been a fan since the early days!

my mom had to take my babysitter to church so her and her youth group could go see them during the unforgettable fire tour. does this count?

1985, Dallas

 

[Down Under]

My very first show (in Australia) was 27 Sept 1989, Love Comes To Town Tour, (with B.B.King). I believe this was their first tour to Australia (but I am happy to be corrected).
$39.90 Aussie dollars.
Great show, still have the ticket, programme and press reviews.
It was a date, a girl, bottle of champagne (outside the gig) and U2 ……..I was happy!
See above ticket.

.....first time in May 92...... have never seen them in the 80's..... was too young, around 12 in 1990..... have seen them many times since then...... best tour was ZOO TV, then Elevation, then POP Mart.....

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

I saw them on March 5, 1985, Los Angeles Sports Arena. Easily the best show I've ever seen, if only because it was my first U2 show. I can't explain the excitement of seeing U2 for the first time.
