U2 at JB Scott's in Albany on the Boy tour — before they were the biggest band in the world. Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. were a hungry Irish four-piece playing clubs. Mission of Burma opened. Two of the most important bands of the '80s on one bill in a small Albany club. This is the kind of show people lie about having attended.
