(Editor's Comment: Pardon the sloppy condition of these notes. Documentation was lost during the travels and these notes are being rebuilt from scraps and memory.)
Police were worried about hooligans at the show. There was a Germany/England football match (part of which was broadcast on the grounds' jumbotron). It was also the 62nd anniversary of Germany's invasion of Poland. Some still harbor some ill feelings about that.
Another 80,000-100,000 people on a field in Ireland!

"We're from the north of Dublin. We're called U2. This is our first single, I hope you like it!"
It was a fantastic show and I know I had a lot of good notes - they must be found!
