This is probably conservatively graded as an A- audience recording...there is cover art at the archive which shows nine tracks on disc 1 (does not have the Intro as track 1, and ends with The Cry-Electric Co., and nine tracks on disc 2 (Bad through "40" with no listing for the Clannad outro track).

"Slowly but surely the new show begins to take shape; in Bordeaux a full 18-song set is played. MLK has returned, after its unfortunate premiere in Lyon. Bad still sounds rickety because Bono cannot handle the demanding "I'm wide awake" part, while Indian Summer Sky lacks the edge it has on record.

"The band checked out the town the previous night and stumbled on a fun fair. "There was this big wheel, and we went to the top of it and could see all over the city of Bordeaux," Bono says excitedly, implying that usually they have no time for such outings. "When you travel a lot, you go in and out of hotels, another room, more people and more people, you just forget that...." He stammers, realizing this is a problem that fans will have difficulty relating to. "We've a pretty job actually. Well, this is for some of you who maybe don't feel so good, but I'm sure you will -- this is a song called 40. Comprenez moi?"

JEMS marked its 34th year recording U2 by heading north from our home base to opening night show in Vancouver. The month of rehearsals at Pacific Coliseum definitely paid off as the band was better prepared than has often been the case on opening nights (see Las Vegas 1997).

Speaking to Tapeboy by phone last night, he was struck by how the show began with one powerful rock song after another, which drove the energy of the show high from the start. He also said the distributed PA that rings the arena did make for very good sound leading to something rare at indoor shows these days: it was loud.

The new material, not surprisingly, sounds more compelling from the stage, which in and of itself is said to be a marvel, save for its lack of safety railings (if you haven't seen The Edge's Instagram this morning, he is OK, save for a big scrape on his arm).

Biggest surprise of the night was "Desire." Brother Ken was also there, and he pointed to that song, "Bullet the Blue Sky," "Invisible" and "Until The End of The World" as his highlights; the latter closed "the first set," though plans for a more formal intermission were apparently abandoned. In its place were five minutes or so of videos that bridge from "Until" to "Invisible."

There are sure to be other recordings and some of the real pros are up there too doing their magic, but for now, here's JEMS' capture.

Comments from the taper:

This show was the 2nd show in "The Garden of Eden", Tullamore. The 1st show was on Sun 2nd March 1980.
U2 played the same venue again on Sun 11th May 1980 (as a test gig for the forthcoming UK tour), and Bono referred to the mix up during his introduction to one of the songs (05. Another Day). I recorded both gigs at the time on a tape deck. I gave copies to some friends from time to time, and so BAD boots of at least one of the gigs has appeared.

U2 1980-03-02 Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland

This show was in 'The Garden of Eden', Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Sun 2nd March 1980.

This gig in Tullamore have never been logged correctly, so here it is.

U2 played Tullamore, Co. Offaly in the midlands of Ireland on Sun 2nd March 1980. This was one of the first times U2 played outside of the big cities (Dublin, Cork, etc), and most of the locals were down the pub or in ‘The Bridge House’ dancing to ‘Big Tom’. There were only about 20 people in the hall.

The hall was called 'The Garden of Eden' --- it’s since been pulled down and a block of apartments built there.

The problem with logging the show was that some reporter from NME or Melody Maker in England was with U2 that week, and reported the gig as being in 'Tullyermeny' or somewhere like that, so that's where the confusion occurs.

As I said, there were only about 20 people there. What we lacked in numbers we made up for in volume. My lasting impression of the gig was the presence of Bono – even then he was the centre of attention.

The gig was recorded at the time on a tape deck. Some copies were given to friends from time to time, and so BAD boots of the gig have appeared.

This is from the original tape it’s now been cleaned up, and it's in flac. The quality is very good for an audience tape.

I'm not 100% sure about the titles to the songs, but I've given it my best shot.

I've called the CD 'Garden of Remembrance' - because it was in' The Garden of Eden' and nearly 30 years is a long time to remember back ....

U2 - 'The Garden of Eden', Tullamore, Co. Offaly, Ireland on Sunday 2nd March 1980.
