UPDATE DECEMBER 2:  U2 play for only 25 people / 2nd, supporting Talking Heads / Edge takes his guitar off /Jerry Mele / ends "Elevation" tour!

"London Club" tour - december 2, 1979 - U2 perform in Earl's Court, England at the Nashville Rooms, as support for "Secret Affair". Only 25 people show up for the gig.

"Boy" tour - december 2, 1980 - U2 play the second support gig to "Talking Heads" in London, England at the Hammersmith Palais.

"October" tour - december 2, 1981 - U2 perform in Nashville, Tennessee at Vanderbilt University.

"Pre-War" tour - december 2, 1982 - U2 perform in Manchester, England at the Apollo Theater. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is cut short after the band realize they can't figure out what comes after the second verse. "New Year's Day" is dedicated to the people who have been following the tour around(these same people were allowed to sit in for the soundcheck). After the encore of "A Celebration", The Edge takes his guitar off and hands it to a roadie. Bono yells at The Edge, "We're not done yet!", and after The Edge straps his guitar back on, the band perform "I Will Follow" for the second time that evening. Support is "The Alarm".

"The Unforgettable Fire" tour - december 2, 1984 - U2 perform in Worcester, Maryland at the Centrum. The 11,000 tickets for this concert sell out quickly, and hundreds of fans remain outside the venue. Bono thanks the crowd for their support over the years, and before "40", he mentions that "Last year when we came here, we were very firghtened of playing in places like this. It was because it was our ambition to just turn this place into a living room and I think we have done that here tonight. I hope it worked out for you, it really worked out for us." Support is "The Waterboys".

"POPMart" tour - december 2, 1997 - Mexico City - Mexico - Atodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Edge sings "Sunday Bloody Sunday". U2's first of two PopMart shows in Mexico City is marred by an off-stage incident -- the teenage son of Mexico's President attends the concert, and tries to leave through a restricted area of the stadium while the show is still in progress. A security guard brings the son to the ground shortly before he would've been hit by a large TV crane. That starts a fight as the President's son's bodyguards draw guns and go after security, not knowing they were only trying to save the teenager. As the President's son and his bodyguards get in their car to leave, U2's security chief, Jerry Mele, tries to stop them. The car moves slowly and Mele is dragged along as they go. He suffers severe injuries and will not be with the band when PopMart visits South America, Australia, Japan, and South Africa in the new year.

"Elevation tour - december 2, 2001 - Miami / Fl - American Airlines Arena. The Elevation World Tour ends tonight in Miami, just down the road from where it began (in Sunrise, Florida) back in March. Larry plays drums on 'Only Happy When It Rains', the last song of Garbage's opening set. 'In God´s Country' is complete with harmonica tonight. Bono stops to thank a bunch of people, including Sheila Roche, Paul McGuinness, and Chris Blackwell before 'One'. Bono ends the show by leading the crowd in the '40' chorus and singing 'Honey, I'm coming home!' Early estimates suggest the 113-concert tour has sold more than 2 million tickets and grossed some $160 million, half of that in U.S. receipts.
