Actually, I think their 1st US performance was at The Paradise Theater in Boston. Either way, good luck getting your hands on either of these....

Actually tackleberry is correct. 12-6-80 NY at the Ritz was U2's first performance in the U.S. The Boston Paradise Theater show on 12-13-80 was their 7th U.S. performance.

I've never seen or heard of a recording from that date and I'll venture to guess that if it existed it would surely have been released by now. I could be wrong though...

No one on etree has the Ritz show. Chances are, it's not available.
