Notes:

U2's only Irish date during 1981, supporting Thin Lizzy at Slane Castle in County Meath just outside of Dublin. U2 debut 6 tracks from the forthcoming album October. Bono and the crowd sing "Happy Birthday" for Edge's girlfriend Aislinn. A bit of cleanup was needed with this 3rd gen audio cassette recording. Cool Edit Pro was used to normalize the audio to 98% and remove some of the tape hiss without affecting the music. There is a slight edit 2:21 into Out of Control and another 1:37 into Fire.
