I had read a review of the band U2’s new album “October” in Esquier magazine and it intrigued me enough to buy it unheard. The U2 sound was different than anything else on my radar screen at that time so when the band played The Ritz club on Saint Patrick Day in 1982 my friends and I ventured into the festive NYC night for the show.

I happened upon the set list for that show on the U2 website.
