Unforgettable Fire Leg 2: 1984, North America

I first discovered U2 with "Boy" (specifically "I Will Follow") and didn't realize the impact they would have on my life. This show was the first U2 concert (and first concert ever) for me and it was a magical experience. It was a rare opportunity to see them in an intimate setting with about 5,000 people. Truly amazing. 41 shows later, I'm still excited about seeing them live as I was back then.

This was my 1st of 6 U2 shows. The Waterboys opened for them. I remember "Bad" was awesome but nothing changed there over the years. "Sort of home coming". The usual early stuff. This was a small hall, I didn't know it at the time but my life would change from that point on. Thought it would be cool to write about this with the re issue of "Unforgettable fire". "May all your dream's be realized".
