I went to a small club called the Reseda Country Club in Reseda, California on U2's first visit to California on March 15th, 1981 on the 3rd leg of the Boy Tour. When I went to the show, the concert was sold out, because of the small venue, so I had to hear the show from outside the club. Just recently I was able to download the actual show called "The Ides of March", and it had the same intensity that I remember so many years ago. I so wish I would have gotten to the venue earlier, but it was about an hour and half from where I lived in Southern California.
The main set consisted of The Ocean, Twilight, I Will Follow, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, An Cat Dubh, Into The Heart, Another Time Another Place, Electric Co., Things To Make And Do, Stories For Boys, Boy-Girl, Out Of Control. The encore was 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, The Ocean, I Will Follow, all 3 songs which were played in the main set ( not an uncommon practice for European band of that day), and A Day Without Me
