Skip to [9:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1q0zLaXUuE) if you want to hear a familiar riff that would go on to be the main riff to a widely sucessful Metallica song.
Just think about them keeping on and believing in themselves even in the face of this performance (which is all right for a couple of teens). Rock on dudes!

Bono looks like the love child of Elvis and Robin Williams.
Fact: Bono was the inspiration for Dirk Diggler.
These guys are criminally underrated and way ahead of their time. They should have been huge.
This is good rock and roll, uh, music.
This was their first TV appearance as U2 but a few months earlier [on 2 March 1978 they performed “Street Mission” on the same programme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlhgMYNmcWQ). By 17 March [they’d changed their name from The Hype to U2](https://www.rte.ie/archives/exhibitions/937-u2/290015-u2-first-television-appearance/).
