I was at that Pompey gig. I was a student there and it was 1983. It was the War tour - I’d already seen them on the Boy tour and was a huge fan - actually met them for the only time at the stage door that night at the Guildhall and they autographed my programme.They were already pretty famous by then though in my opinion - Guildhall wasn’t a tiny venue for bands back then.

I loved them until Achtung Baby which was the start of them turning to shit for me... reinforced by Zooropa. A could of good tracks in later years but they never recaptured the feel of their first 5 albums.... even Rattle & Hum gave signs of what was coming in my opinion.

As soon as they used their position to infringe on politics that was them done for me
