very, very early U2 “Out of control” in 1979

Recently up on Youtube is part of an 1979 recording of an early U2 concert.

It was recorded by a fan, long-time fan Pete McCluskey and features 5 minutes of what was to become Out of control. It seems that Peter has more:

over 40 minutes of U2’s set that Saturday afternoon which Pete has on tape. Many of the tracks, including ‘Cartoon World’ and ‘Life On A Distant Planet’, are ones which U2 never committed to vinyl. Pete has no plans to release his tape
