2-3-4! U2 make their album debut. Tho' not their 10@10 debut.

errr, this was their 2nd album.  Boy was their debut.

oops. thought I head AL frame it as "this new band U2" or something and I just went with it.

And I just love the Fogheads who jump on FB during the last song and say "what year is it?" Jeezus.

To be fair, at the time they probably were considered a new band, not having their first real US hit and all. And actually, given that I requested this song, I should BOS it.

Yep. A friend of mine was a bar back there for a couple months in the early 80s (I think).
