    ... I saw U2 at Sheffield City Hall on St Patricks Day. They are a marmite band, but in my opinion have produced some brilliant music down the years & it was a memorable concert. Pretty unlikely I guess, but was anyone else at this? 35 years... where does time go??

    Saw them a few times in the mid 80’s
    Saw them at Milton Keyes Bowl in 1985 with support from R.E.M., Ramones, Billy Bragg and Spear of Destiny-pissed it downbut a great day!
    Not been able to get tickets on the tours this century

    Ditto.
    Can still get a tingle from the opening bars of ‘I will Follow’ off the Boy album.

    I saw them at the Limit Club in Sheffield, think it was 1983. Tour after that I aw them at Manchester Apollo. Not a band I've been into after that time really.
