I don't know if this thread is going to get moved. I wanted to post it here.

I found a recording of this show a few days ago after searching for years, and I wanted to share the highlights, so I uploaded the audio to youtube. It's not a great recording, it's sped up a bit too much and sounds sort of chipmunk-y, but funny nontheless. This was their first appearance on RTE TV (according to a book I have).

YouTube - U2- Intro (Cork 1979)

The Intro...announcer describes them as a 'young new band from Dublin' :lol:

YouTube - U2- Cartoon World

Cartoon World...Bono names a bunch of people he can "see" watching them on TV at home :giggle:

YouTube - U2- Boy Girl

Boy-Girl...Bono embarasses a guy in the audience by asking him about his love life :lol: :cute:

Please excuse my abominable video making skills :yikes:
 
WOW 1979!! :hyper: Man! those guys were on the edge of being a true Punk band! LOL
They were sounding pretty cool at the time too. Not bad for starters.
I was 11 years old back then :D and just starting to get into Led Zeppelin and the whole rock/punk thing ! :lol:

Great post good buddie!! :applaud:

That is so adorable.... awwwh Bono so sweet. :cute:
 
^ That's cool that you guys have it on tape...

LOL I believe the girlish voice is sort of due to the annoyingly sped up recording :lol:
Although he did have a kind of childish voice back then :hmm:

I have this unnatural obsession with piecing together every bit of the band's early history :love:
 
Loves it anyway

:)

Boy/Girl needs to find it's way back into the set list!

LOL
 
:heart: Boy-Girl :heart: Haha if that happened, I would truly believe nothing is impossible :lol:

:ohmy: When this recording was made, Bono was exactly my age :sexywink:

Thirty-one years later and RTE TV has no re-broadcast this concert, unfortunate :down: :angry:

Aww you should have just asked around here and you would have had it a long time ago! ;) Had you tried the Music on the Internet thread? Everyone is really great at sharing there and here too :)

You do not mind sharing that video?, there are many people who have the audio, but video? ONLY YOU!!! :crack: :crack: :applaud: :applaud:
 
Is the first full concert U2 broadcast on RTE TV, but earlier had appeared three times: 1-The fool (cut)1978 . 2-Street mission 1978 and Life on a distant planet 1979
 
:ohmy: I forgot all about this! :lol:

And I never got around to making crude windows "movies" out of the rest of the tracks to put on youtube :doh:

You have the video of the whole concert or just the videos of Cartoon world and Boy-girl?

I don't have the actual video. I would give my largely useless left arm for that :drool:
I just have a torrent of this show and used Windows Movie Maker to set the songs to a slideshow of pictures so I could post it as a video on youtube.

These three were the only ones I made :(
