That makes two of us on this list that saw U2's 1st Concert in Minneapolis.
Actually First Avenue was still called Uncle Sam's at the time. U2 had released
their 1st album: BOY. It's was April 1981 and a bunch of my friends went out
to the old Met Stadium to watch the last game of outdoor baseball for the
Minnesota Twins. Word got around after the game; there was a "Hot" new Irish band
playing in Minneapolis that night. A few of us decided to check them out. The
club was "packed". U2 played an energetic but very short set. It was under an
hour and they played several songs; including their current Hit "I will
Follow" twice! I remember Bono jumping all over the stage during the show. It was
quite a Historic day; that April back in '81.

Thanks for the article and for more good news. It's hard to over state
how important this club is to the music "scene" here without gushing...
So I'll keep the gushing to a minimum and just say....
"I could just kiss the beer stained, sticky First Ave floors"!
And I just might.
