U2 Early Tv Shows 1978-1982
"This is a compilation of some of the best quality early U2 shows.
I am not claiming that this is the best source available as it’s very difficult tracking down small clips in perfect quality from so many years ago but the overall quality is very good to excellent and you will do well to find better. There is a similar compilation called White flags on stage but the quality of this is much better. Also the quality of Belfast 81 is better than the NTSC version I put out there a couple of months ago, more colour and improved sound."

I have excluded a few performances such as OGWT 81 + Pink Pop 81 as I didn’t think the quality was good enough, if you have them in excellent quality or anything else from this era please let me know.

Apologies for my pathetic attempt at menus but I think I’ve got the chapters working, it’s my 1st attempt at this.

Sorry, no artwork yet
As stated above this is not perfect but it’s intended for U2 fans to have a chance to see some of the early performances and a good laugh.
