Reputable Performers
The Irish rock band U2 played a landmark show at the Paradise Rock Club on March 6, 1981. They opened for the band Barooga Bandit and drew a crowd of five hundred people. U2's Boy album had recently risen out of England's pot-punk scene, and they were beginning to gain radio airplay in America. The band chose Boston as one of its first locations to promote this album. The concert was recorded for their live album Live from Boston 1981.

“Up the reputable walks of old established trees
They stalk, children of the nouveaux riches; chimes
Of the tall Clock Tower drench their heads in blessing:

I don’t like you any more.”
My house stands opposite, on the other hill,”
