In an interview with the Hon. Desmond Guinness, he informed me that following the Police concert in 1980 some people broke into the residential property and sprayed graffiti on the walls and that is the main reason he decided to stop allowing Leixlip Castle as a venue for outdoor concerts, thus the birth of Slane as the number two outdoor concert venue in the World

Actually, I was in Ireland that year during the summer with my parents to see my relatives > I've gone every summer my entire life and I'll be there this coming July as well. I can't wait ;)

Wish I could have been there but I was only 1 year old ha ha ;)



U2 were playing support for The Police this day. It was near my house so I cycled over(aged 8) and a kind security guard let me in for free, telling me to be careful. I remember someone threw a bottle at Sting!!

Yes you're correct. But back in 1980, this was the official video for their first single on Island Records. It's a shame, because U2 have almost always been better live than on record. U2 are easily the best live band I've ever seen. Probably the best live band in the history of rock and roll.
