22/03/1978 Celebrity Club, Abbey Street, Dublin. U2 concerts in Ireland 1978.

Ferdia MacAnna (Rocky DeValera & The Gravediggers) A bunch of us went to see U2 play a new venue, the Celebrity Club in Abbey Street. They played a loud, fast set and there was a small but enthusiastic audience. I noticed that Bono and The Edge were wearing strange, colourful jumpers that almost matched, as though someone had knitted them specially.
At one point, The Edge leapt off the stage to play guitar from the audience. A big space cleared around him. After a few moments, The Edge glanced back at Bono. “Get back up here now,” Bono scowled. The Edge climbed back on stage without dropping a note.
This the first gig U2 play back in Dublin after wining the Pop ’78 talent contest in Limerick. It’s also the last time they will play the Celebrity club.
