Performance of U2 with I Will Follow and The Cry at Pinkpop 1981 on 8 June 1981

Ik was toen 19 jaar mooie tijd was dat en veel nieuwe muziekstijlen kwamen die tijd uit waarvan U2 toch wel de meest vooruitstrevende muziekstijl was. ik had een casseteband opname van dat Pinkpop concert in Geleen. helemaal grijsgedraaid in mijn mini cooper :-)

[@adamatincul2618]

This is a total madness! What an energy, rawness, desire and wilderness, wooow! Bono is totally crazy, Adam is such a badass, The Edge - a wild dancer and Larry is an unstoppable machine! Man, what beasts they were!

[@clintlandrum9498]

I miss the Adam headband.

And they were never heard from again.

The Electric Co a song that made U2, U2. Excellent live if your as young (55) as I am Electric Co will keep you moving Rock n Roll U2 style !!!

My first U2 concert Now i count 44 shows

[@nicosmits5167]

OMG ik was 17 jaar toen ik voor het eerst op Pink Pop was met mijn broer en toen dit "bandje" begon te spelen !! Ik vond het direct super gaaf !! De rest is geschiedenis......

[@ThomDorke]

Interesting to see Edge using his Les Paul Custom so early. I didn't think he had acquired his until at least a year later.

And here I thought I have seen every Early 80s U2 concert on KZbin! What a Gem! I remember when they 1st hit the scene, love their early music , 80s for sure, 💕💕🤗🤗🤗Love them still but oh does it feel sweet to go back in time.....miss this music...

[@moniquegruson4142]

Jeetje, ik was 15 en was hierbij!! Ik stond met mijn 2 broers met de rug ernaartoe, en toen vonden we de muziek zo gaaf dat we maar eens gingen kijken… de rest laat zich raden. Ik heb U2 nooit meer losgelaten en ben nadien nog diverse keren geweest. Tranen in mijn ogen, zo mooi dit!!

[@kevindeman20]

***** Leuk om te lezen, Ik ben ook al sinds mijn 15e fan van u2 helaas niet op de zelfde manier als u fan geworden maar toch... Ik ga 9 September mijn eerste concert van U2 beleven ben inmiddels 16 en kijk er naar uit. Groetjes

[@unslavehumanity554]

Ik was ook 15 (bouwjaar: 20 April 1966) en was er ook bij :) ... zag toen veel mensen met U2 petjes op.

[@meredrums1]

Paul just taught 'em the "front-back" move. This is Gold.

[@Harry_PP030]

I bet they got that from Wilko Johnson

[@jennifer-md5vt]

what a great opening song -- - Larry's number 1 fan here

[@goalkeeper484]

Time back, when they were still motivated and relevant (not yet there, but already feelable ;-) )

[@howardkennedy9098]

I though it was mostly about Bono's personality with U2 but I liked New Years Day a lot.

[@mattman237]

Old school awesomeness!! Thanks!

[@beeftheheat]

WOW....WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.

[@peterheel3446]

Wish I had been there! What a great performance by these guys before they became a stadium act I think. Of course youth sentiment!

[@Crecia-ke9lo]

Grande Kevin Idol Sifuentes. Gracias por tu enseñanza..

[@MrJaapanne]

Hi, we were there, great festival and great performance of U2 Greetz Jaap & Hilly

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

R.I.P. Edge’s hair.

[@jochemjonker3362]

Looks like the Edge hadn't his Vox AC 30 with him there,so Ampco (the Dutch PA company) lent him some of their Vox's.Curious who owns them now,maybe with the flightcases.

0:53: Sorry, wrong flag dude!

[@ilikechocolatealot6355]

There’s Paul mcguinness at the side stage wearing glasses 🤓....... pondering 🤔......: it’s gonna be all about the money 💰

[@meredrums1]

This one.

[@michaelabarnes2413]

Have you found what you were looking for

[@jazzenthusiast4353]

I was there. Program: New Adventures, U2, Fischer Z, Madness, Michael Schenker Group, UB40, Ian Dury & The Blockheads. Michael Schenker was the best gig, much better than U2.

[@howardkennedy9098]

Of course, it was the best MSG lineup too and they were in a different class of musicianship. Shenker was also a God guitarist.
