Some questions

I've rediscovered a few taped bootlegs I have in the last few weeks, and
am wondering if anyone can help me out with some info.

I taped a bunch of concerts off a friend about 7 or 8 years ago.

1 was the National Stadium, Dublin show on 26.2.80 (2.26.80 for all
those in countries that write their dates the wrong way around). The
copy I got was reasonable quality, but quite a few songs are missing.
Does anybody have the complete concert? Is it available anywhere?

Another was from the Cork Opera House in 1979 (no other dates given).
The recording is from a television show (there's an announcer at the
beginning who introduces U2) which sounds like it's then been put onto
vinyl. My copy is a few generations of taping down the line - so it's
not that great, but I'm sure a closer to original copy would be awesome
- does anybody know how I might stumble upon this.

The third is the one I know least about (also, I don't have a copy of
the book with all U2's concerts in it, which will explain why I'm asking
questions about something that's probably in there). The info I got
with it said - 'Tullamore - Co Offaly - September 1979'. For a long
time I thought this was not true, and that the recording was just
another copy of the National Stadium show, as the set list is almost
identical, but with a few extra tracks in there. But having listened to
them both closely, they are different shows. Now the recording I have
of this is almost inaudible due to tape hiss - but you get the idea.
The track listing is -
Silver Lining (which became 11 O'Clock Tick Tock)
Speed Of Life
Judith (which became The Magic Carpet)
Stories For Boys
Trevor (which became Touch)
Another Time, Another Place
Another Day
The Dream Is Over
Heed The Child (which became Trevor (Whatever Happened To Pete The
Chop?))
Cartoon World
Jack In The Box
Shadows And Tall Trees
A Day Without Me
Twilight
Boy/Girl

Can anyone give me any info on this concert, and tell me if it's
available anywhere (vinyl boots? It's not referred to on any CD boots
on FLOM)?

That's all for now. Thanks
Adrian
