Well, there's at least one historical inaccuracy in that review, as my band - The Nads - were the actual only opening band. There did exist a band called Redline at the time, and they were more aligned with The Police as indicated, but they were nowhere near this show. They were friends and contemporaries of ours, and we shared the stage with them a number of nights, but not this one. Which brings me to the encore portion - I witnessed the entire show, and had to wait for the venue to be cleared before taking our equipment out, and have no memory of what's relayed here. I think I might remember multiple versions of I Will Follow! The setlist alas, appears lost in time, as no tapes have surfaced of this show that I know of, but I can shed one little tidbit - The U2 soundcheck featured Bono playing guitar and leading the band through Jumpin' Jack Flash!
