25 years ago this week, U2 played my beautiful city for the very first time. I wasn't even born then but almost.
They played two shows on the 23rd & 24th of September 1984. They were the last two shows in the first leg of The Unforgetable Fire Tour.
From U2 Setlist Archive:

comment: Last ever performance of Twilight. Last performances of An Cat Dubh and Into The Heart until March 2005."
I wish they'd hurry up and play here again but the latest dates I saw on @u2.com today don't look encouraging. At this point I'm betting on March 2011 for us.
