I have a ticket stub for U2 dated Monday, April 8, 1985 at the Capital Centre (since demolished) in Washington, D.C.
Price (including tax) - $13.50
Now THAT was a long time ago!

I think you mean "A Sort Of Homecoming" from the same EP, don't you? That version was reportedly recorded at soundcheck 15 November, 1984 at Wembley, with the crowd noise dubbed-in later by the great Tony Visconti. Regardless, Wide Awake In America --- 'though it contains but 2 "live" tracks --- is easily one of the best live releases by any band or artist from the 1980's. "The Three Sunrises" is another gem that wouldn't have been at all out of place on The Unforgettable Fire.

oh, the mullet. Why???

How can you NOT respect a band who came out of the end of the punk rock era yet puts their trust in Brian Eno (a founding father of art rock) to create a song which is nothing but transitions between a couple of chords?! Really holds up well, still just a brilliant, simple piece of art.

What is there to say, other than U2 were already at the top of their game musically. And they still had another 2 years to go before they really became 'mega'. Brilliant performance!

the old U2 and this version in particular is what defines U2 in the first place, this is probably one of the best songs ever made and this live version is beyond any song (live recorded) i've ever heard
