I also saw them on that tour in 1983 in the Portsmouth Guildhall, it was to promote the War Album, they were fantastic, very rocky/ punky.

Next time was Live Aid in 85 and then at Wembley Stadium in 87 for the Joshua tree tour when they had hit the big time. Again they were fantastic, though not as much fun in a massive stadium as in a smaller venue.

I didn’t like their later stuff but you’ve got to admire their longevity , the ability to keep reinventing themselves and the fact they haven’t fallen out and are still together after all this time - which is very impressive!
