U2 - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Hammersmith Palais, London, Britain, 12-6-1982

Here's U2 performing for the BBC again. This time, it's another concert. I believe it's entirely unreleased.

This concert took place after the release of the band's second album, "October," but two months before the release of their third album, "War." However, the band had just finished recording "War" in the studio. They started playing two classic songs from that album at the start of December 1982: "Sunday Bloody Sunday" and "New Year's Day." So this concert was one of the first few times those songs were played in public. And since this was broadcast on the BBC, it must have been the first time those songs were heard by a large audience.

Six months after this, the band played the concert that resulted in the live album "Under a Blood Red Sky." However, that album relied much more on songs from "War," So this is still somewhat different from that one. It's also nice that this has a version of "A Celebration," an A-side release that the band only played live occasionally in 1982 and 1983.

The sound quality is excellent. The only problem was small gaps of silence between all the songs, but i got rid of those.

This album is an hour and two minutes long.
