U2 play their first ever sold-out show in the UK - at The Half Moon, London, England, UK, Europe.Full article:
Andy Phillips (photographer) : The reviews were coming in, they were being championed by the press, so the crowds were getting bigger, and then that night in the Half Moon, the place was just rammed, it was boiling hot in there. The place was sold out, which was the first time they’d done that at a UK gig.
