Ahh, so this could possibly be from as late as Jan 1980.

If your copy of the doc is cleaner it would be great if you posted part of it. I’m not even sure mine is at the right speed since it was copied from audio cassettes at different speeds

Yes, I’ve had that documentary since 1996, with Ken Stewart being the p.a. announcer. But, live, Jack in the Box only appears in early 1980 from the available sources I’ve seen. I wonder when exactly Edge started using the AC30, which has a sharp clean sound unless overdriven. Though there is an AC30 in the Street Mission overdub video from 1978.

No it wasn’t. I’m quite sure about that; they were other songs, such as Inside Out, tonight, Street Mission, Shadows and Tall Trees, The Fool, or others…

It’s got the Vox AC30 sound, and Edge wasn’t using that till late 1979 or early 1980.

I’ll bet you this was not 1978, sounds more like there 1979 or early 1980 sound. Really, not 1978.

The band is performing Street Mission in that footage, recorded in 1978, making that footage the oldest of the band performing live. Search “U2 Street Mission.”

The song is rubbish, but you can see the greatness that is to come. What a guitar sound!!
