I was combing my brain, trying to remember who The Alarm opened for when I saw them back in the 80s...U2! I can't recall much of anything from U2's time on stage, but The Alarm put on a hell of a show.
They honestly had the best live show. I used to like U2 alot but I always thought the Alarm did a better show.
If yu get a chance, VH1 did Bands Reunited. The Alarm episode is very good. The concert at the end is unhooked. The funniest part is, everyone is a 40 something. No kids.
Ahh the glory days.
