European Festivals 1982

This was the first time I went to the Werchter festival, age 15 . I live in a nearby town called "Haacht' and this festival was at that time the moment of the Year for us as teenagers. Almost everybody had friends or family who helped at the festival those years. It was the first time I saw U2 live. WAAAUW what a performance. I knew the band from a few albums 'Boy'and 'October' ...they were not bad. But when I saw them that day ....They changed my musical live. From that day I'm a great fan and still I am. They let me discover other great artists like, Patti smith, the doors, joy division, the Clash, Johnny cash, Hank Williams, and many more... I can say...U2 pushed me a little in a certain way of live, and after 35years I'm still proud I took that way of live. This year 2017 I saw U2 more as 20 times (of course every time in Werchter) and other places in Belgium, The Netherlands and Ireland. This summer 2017, I will so to go see them in Brussels and Dublin......As my friends say.....A piece in you're brains is infected by a virus called U2. Yes and it feels great !!! Greetings from Belgium, Dirk ( Veusse)

U2, Simple Minds en eurythmics samen op het podium. Te veel en te mooi. We waren doodop en toen kwam Peter Gabriel!
