A Celebration Of U2 In 1982
Geez, I loved them then. What a cracking version of Gloria! And to hear A Celebration being done live is fab. That line in Rejoice “I can’t change the world, but I can change the world in me” resonated so much with me.They were so flipping fab then. Honestly. Just watching this 9 minutes of…
A Frank Talk
