18/02/1980 The Blue Lagoon, Sligo, Ireland. Come Out To Play 1980.

The tour coincides with the Irish CBS release of their new single “Another Day”. This group of concerts includes dates that were not part of the “Come Out To Play Tour”. I have included them just to group things together. This tour remained hidden for many years, I only uncovered it on a trip to the national Library in Dublin., in the late 90’s. Only three of the dates were known. The National Stadium, Garden of Eden & Downtown Kampus concerts. When this tour was first listed in “Hot Press” it had the title of “Tour De France”.
