Live at J.B. Scott's, Albany, New York, USA, November 13, 1981

This release marks the debut of a newly discovered soundboard recording from a club gig at J.B. Scott's in Albany, New York, on November 13, 1981—part of the early U2 US tour that took place before their global breakthrough.

Following the previous year's "Boy Tour," the up-and-coming band U2 was still playing club venues across America; they embarked on another US tour after releasing their second album, *October*.

The show at J.B. Scott's served as the opening night of that tour. While FM radio broadcast recordings from this era—such as the LA show—have existed previously, this Albany recording is a newly discovered soundboard source that has never been broadcast or released until now.

It is a must-have live recording for collectors, capturing the passionate and direct performance style that defined early U2!
