Before they were U2, they were The Hype, and this is the footage to prove it. Aired on March 2, 1978 on RTÉ’s teen-oriented show Youngline, this performance marks the band’s first ever television appearance, captured just weeks before they would head to Limerick for the talent contest where they would change their name to U2. The four-piece lineup still included Dik Evans, who would officially leave the band shortly after, having been largely unavailable due to his engineering studies. The band talked their way onto the show by convincing a producer to attend a rehearsal, where they performed the Ramones’ “Glad to See You Go” and, when asked if they had written it, Bono claimed they had. It worked.
