This is before I heard of them an interesting seeing them in their 20's. Even better knowing that they are still rocking out an taking a stand against injustices over 30 years later
This is not a soundcheck for a live show..but it is the rehearsal and taping for their first video I Will Follow on a sound stage, I have this on a bootleg dvd.
@djkimberly I'm thinking its a video of them practicing to do a "lip sync" on a TV show. If you watch closely you see the music comes in first then they gradually join in playing along. Adam seems most excited about it and is playing along even when the others aren't, even on partial clips of the song... Adam wanna be a rockstar!
@djkimberly Actually they are playing the album in the background, they are attempting to lip synch to the album for whatever purpose, making a video/whatever. They rehearse it a few times. I posted the actual concert they did later this evening in my uploads. Amusing watching them try to emulate the excitement of playing live. Great concert.
No, Larry Mullen was not 12 in this video. That's not possible since he first put up the flyer in school asking if anyone wanted to form/start a band back when he was 14. But in this video he Does Look like someone's kid 12-yr old brother.
When he was first in the band they had trouble getting him into pubs they say because he was 15 years old. The funny thing is that kids are allowed in pub's in Ireland though moreso on Sundays for which there is supposed to be no beer sold but they do sell refreshments you just don't call them Guinnesses.

The camera operator really likes Larry! Well, I don't blame him.....
This is a rehearsal for the actual video.. they're practicing to the playback before shooting the video, very cool!
I tell you these old songs are so much better than anything they are putting out today.
I agree. Although they had that classic U2 sound, their music was better. Perhaps it's because it was new back then.
Kickass bass guitar tone. Really sticks out in this particular mix they were using.
"BOY" the debut of U2 is the best album in Music History!!!!
Adam IS the Jimi Hendrix experience lol
Wow Larry! 80's power!
Guitar sounds so amazing
I love you U2!!❤️❤️❤️
Adam's hilarious in this.
Adam has some Harry Carey glasses.
CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!
HOLY COW!!

Larry using some Jedi mind trick to play drums without actually hitting them. Impressive.
