Show Details:
U2 headline this show with opening act Fuze, and it is called “The Famous Final Fling.” This is the first night of a short tour to warm up before they left for a UK tour. The show opens with “11 O’Clock Tick Tock”. Few details are known about the full set list.
Although not listed on the ticket, The Myster Men also open the show, as they do for most of the shows on this short tour. The concert is presented by the Student Union, and tickets are £1.50 in advance or £2.00 at the door. Tickets are sold via Star Records, Zhivago Records and the U.C.G (University College Galway) Students Union who are presenting the show.
U2 appeared at the show for a fee of £400, and any attendance over 800 people would see the excess fees split between the band and Maurice Cassidy Promotions.
It wasn’t the smoothest start to a tour for U2. Their van broke down on the way out of town after the show.
