encores: Fire, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow
comment: This show features the October Tour debut of A Day Without Me, and the first example of the combination of I Threw A Brick/A Day Without Me, a combination that becomes a regular feature of U2 concerts until 1985. Due to a technical hitch at the end of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, U2 abandon ending the show with The Ocean and close with I Will Follow instead. The concert infamously involves a fight between Bono and Edge when Bono counts in for 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, but Larry doesn't come in because he is on the floor trying to re-position his drums which had slid forward.

11/17/1981 Center Stage - Providence, Rhode Island, USA
Gloria, Another Time, Another Place, An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart, I Will Follow

comment: The setlist is incomplete. There is a claim that at the end of this show, U2 repeatedly encored I Will Follow, returning to the stage as the crowd thinned out to play the song again. This apparently occurred five times. However, this tidbit is presently unconfirmed.
