Show Details:

SOME ELEMENTS OF THE SET LIST REMOVED BY REQUEST OF U2TOURS.COM WHO ASKED TO BE CREDITED FOR THAT INFORMATION.

U2 play their third show at the Dandelion Market. The performance space is in a power room of a car park, which is being used on weekends as a market.

The performance venue is put together from cheap materials to build a stage, and is open to all ages, making it an ideal location for U2 to continue efforts to build up a following among younger crowds in Dublin. This show like others, starts at 3pm with admission set at £0.50. The gigs at the Dandelion have taken on mythical proportions over the years with many having claimed to have been at the shows. For a more detailed look at the venue see our interview with John Fisher.

This show is opened by The Strougers. One of the members of that band taped the full performance and in 2018 started offering the recording around for sale. It is thanks to this recording that the full set list of this show is known. A copy of the recording was made available to the band at that time according to media reports.

This show in particular is supported by The Strougers. It appears that The Edge is sick and misses this show, possibly for an appointment with a doctor. Bono attempts guitar and the band plays a few numbers as a three piece, but eventually Bono turns to the audience and pulls out a local by the name of Joe Savino and they play a few songs, all covers. Set list is via Pete McClusky of The Strougers who taped the show that day.
