On December 15, 1978, after the release of their second album ``Tonic for the Troops'', a live performance recorded for ``BBC In Concert'' at the Rainbow Theater in London was broadcast on UK: BBC Radio. Complete recording with sound board sound source. Formed in Dublin, Ireland, led by Bob Geldof, they made their debut in 1977 and gained attention in 1978 when they became the first Irish band to reach number 1 in the UK with their single "Rat Trap." Due to the timing, we will not only include “Rat Trap” but also the set contents from the two albums released up to that time. By the way, the single "I Don't Like Mondays" that reached number one in the UK was released the following year, and at this point it was still a powerful, simple and energetic performance that was typical of the early punk/new wave era. It's an explosive performance, and the performance that incorporates various essences such as ska and reggae is a delight to listen to throughout.
