Northampton Nene College 29 Jan '81

You're right Jeff, Delta 5 cancelled so they crossed them off all the tickets. Altered Images were a last minute replacement and I remember Tich busting a drum skin. I also remember Bono, already a great showman, being hampered by the confines of the stage but climbing scaffolding erected either side and also throwing a plastic cup of water in the air and heading it. Thanks for posting a scan of the ticket. Now I can prove to all the young fans that I wasn't lying! £2 - unbelievable! I have a couple of photos of Bono and Adam, not great quality but I'll post them if I can find them.

All the other sites list the venue as The Iron Horse which puzzled me as no such venue ever existed here but I found out tonight that The Iron Horse is a music venue in Northampton Massachussetts so someone obviously made the error which has permeated all over the web! They did play Boston a few times that year
