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.

Famous quotes containing the words reputable and/or performers:
“This mother needs happy, reputable children, and that one needs unhappy ones: otherwise she cannot show her kindness as a mother.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The reason I’m in this business, I assume all performers are—it’s “Look at me, Ma!” It’s acceptance, you know—”Look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma, look at me, Ma.” And if your mother watches, you’ll show off till you’re exhausted; but if your mother goes, Ptshew!”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
