U2 1980-11-11 Kent University Canterbury, UK



 

After listen to the Canterburry version of T #2351 by kittycran we compared it with our version and it seems our version does sounds indeed better and might be an upgrade.
No idea, why the other version has 5 mins more than this here.
 
Enjoy.

Comment / Iso:

Here is one of our most wanted ISO of U2. As we all know "Father is an elephant" they did only play during the England gigs in Nov 1980 (like in Canterburry, Edinburgh, Birmingham, etc).  
That one we're looking for is: 26.11.1980 Playhouse Theatre of Manchester, Hulme where they did record the Peter Powell - BBC Radio Session (setlist: Twilight - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock - I Will Follow - Father Is An Elephant) as a session with no audience. The story tells Bono and Co. did record the songs inside the gents toilets! And this Peter Powel session is the only possibility to listen to a studio version of Father Is An Elephant, a song that remains a work in progress for the Boy Tour leg1 and then the track was never finished. It tells about the conflictual relationship between Bono and his father during this time and probably Bono wish to forget it forever, those words he'd wrote.
.....the story is much longer than this, there are much more infos about THIS session we did find and hopefully this ISO will keep you all puzzling now as well.
A little hope: it was mentioned in one of the first issues of the U2 fanzine, they made a U2 poll songs and Father is an elephant was in marked as (powell session). This was in 1981. George Gimarc mentioned this session in his book too. YIKES!!!!
Perhaps someone has a dusty tape with that setlist and without Audience noises?????
