02/19/1981 Salle Du Fauburg - Geneva, Switzerland

comment: U2's first concert in Switzerland, and their only concert ever in Geneva; the next time U2 visit Switzerland is February 1985 on the Unforgettable Fire Tour. U2 are stopped by customs on entry to the country and some of their equipment is blocked from crossing the border. Consequently a drum kit has to be loaned to the band by the promoter, though they are able to regain their equipment when exiting the country.

setlist not available
comment: The concert was organized by the student union. Bono uses the union's phone for a lengthy phone call with Ali in Dublin, and they consequently end up with the bill for the international dialing charges.
