Comments: U2 plays a gig in County Carlow on a Thursday night in August, 1979. Bono mentioned this gig in his radio interview on Dave Fanning's show (when listeners were invited to choose the first single from U2-3), but didn't give any specifics regarding a date or venue. Because of the timing of U2's studio work on U2-3, August 9th is the first possible Thursday the show could've happened. More likely, however, is that the gig took place on August 16 or August 23.
