U2 perform at the Dalymount Festival.

Setlist:
N/Another Day, 11 O’Clock Tick Tock, Shadows And Tall Trees, A Day Without Me, Twilight. (incomplete setlist)
Remarks:
This event, the 1980 Dublin Festival, featured a lineup including John Olwan, Moondogs, Skafish, Q-Tips, Squeeze, U2 and The Police. It is notable to mention that U2′s set featured the last known performances of Shadows And Tall Trees (the only Boy song never to be performed on the Boy Tour) and Another Day.

Setlist:
11 O’Clock Tick Tock, The Speed Of Life, An Cat Dubh, Into The Heart, Pete The Chop, The Electric Co., Things To Make And Do, Stories For Boys, I Will Follow. Encore(s): 11 O’Clock Tick Tock.
Remarks:
U2 support The Photos. This is the last known concert to feature commercially unreleased pre-Boy songs in the setlist (The Speed Of Life followed by Pete The Chop), though it is possible U2 performed pre-Boy songs at the two festivals between this show and the start of the Boy Tour. Pete The Chop can claim the title as the last known unreleased pre-Boy song to be played live. However, as a later version of it known as Treasure (Whatever Happened To Pete The Chop?) was released as New Year’s Day’s b-side, some may prefer to count The Speed Of Life as the last unreleased pre-Boy song to be played live as no later version was commercially released.
